  What do you think? Should chimpanzees be granted 'personhood'?

  there's a current court case in ny which is hearing that question right now.

  the precise issue is the continued captivity of two chimpanzees, (leo and hercules, names bestowed by humans) in a medical research laboratory at stony brook university.. i suggest that the application has some merit.

  are not all of us "animals?

  Evidence based folks: what is your stance on GMO's and why?

  so, the anti-gmo movement scored another victory today.

  chipotle has opted to only use non-gmo food items.. hooray for them.

  i'm pretty neutral on the subject, mostly because, other than questionable treatment of farmers, i have seen no evidence to avoid gmo's for health reasons.. basically, my neutrality boils down to the stance that i'll buy non-gmo, so long as the price is reasonable.

  GMOs themselves are fine. The politics and the shitty corporations behind them are evil but that's a whole other topic.

  holy cow that video would have been called "undignified" 5 years ago. If gave a talk with that many 'jokes' I would have been counseled. This crap is coming straight from the GB.

  It's sad that JWs have to be told about tipping and not abusing free stuff at hotels. The sad fact is that for a LOT of JWs the convention is the only time they really get out of their home area so they have no idea how to function.

  absolutely. For a very long time Bethel had an unwritten 'no getting married rule.' As soon as that was dropped all the GB and other 'heavyweights' went and got themselves wives who were much much younger.
