Re: Home Defense Gun 2.0
Keep in mind we are hyper-optimizing here. Any gun is better than no gun in a home invasion situation, and much of the time you won't even need to shoot it so it may not even matter what it fires. And if you do, shooting the bad guy with anything is probably going to make him strongly reconsider hi...

Re: Water Fluoridation: A Critical Review of the Physiological Effects
Make fun all you want, but we're not specifically adding strontium, thorium or grain alcohol to the water supply. The point, ladies and gentleman, is that crony capitalism is evil. :D That, my friend, is some mighty slim pickins. ;) I don't give a hoot in Hell how you do it, you just get me to th...

Re: Water Fluoridation: A Critical Review of the Physiological Effects
Please make me a drink of grain alcohol and rainwater, and help yourself to whatever you'd like. :) Rainwater may be harmful. I'm sure MG can find some paper that deals with thorium or strontium 90 remaining from the nuke tests of the 50s and 60s. Perhaps the National Inquirer has some relevant ma...

Re: Figuring Out Religion
Good discussion of being "called". Excerpts: “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel”? (Mark 1:15, ESV). This is the urgent call of God to sinners; though unlike in the time of Jonah, we have no timetable. Whether the call is to sinners w...

Re: Deadly Medicines and Organised Crime: How Big Pharma Has Corrupted Healthcare
MG says: "...explain why drugs are the third leading cause of death..."
People go to doctors.
Doctors prescribe drugs.
Drugs are available OTC.
People take drugs.
People die.
Therefore, people who go to doctors and take drugs are certain to die.

Re: Cast iron safety/iron overload
Seems to me if one seasons the cast iron effectively, which is needed for the non-stick property, the food is not in contact with the iron anyway - the food is in contact with polymerized flaxseed oil (or whatever type oil/grease is used). What am I missing? This worry of iron toxicity from a mini...

Re: My Argument To Never Pay Down Home Mortgage
Excellent summary and very financially logical. However, I went the "sleep easier at night" route which I could not begin put a price on how good it feels, and paid the sucker off quite a while back. I have no regrets, I would do it again in a heartbeat.
