In Europe, it's used to treat sick large animals, which are very expensive to replace. (Cows cost over a thousand dollars) In India, it is fed to 100% of healthy chickens to make them grow faster, because their immune systems don'

>Invasion of privacy doesn't require an actual invasion into a person's private life. It includes publicizing a person in a false light [...] Could you explain that a bit more? I would be very shocked if something as subjective

In the spirit of standardization, I think all systems of speaking besides American English should be made illegal in all countries. That way, no one will have to pay translators to unnecessarily switch back and forth between equivalent lang

We just export all this pollution to China. Instead of a good unionized manufacturing job with a pension paying $25/hr, the average American now scrapes by makes minimum wage working odd hours at a Starbucks with no benefits. We need m

You totally missed his point. Wikileaks does not pretend to be unbiased. They are willing to speak truth to power whereas your "accredited journalists" do nothing but cower and cover up for it. Who do you think is paying for that

If it had been legitimate dirt on Russia or Trump, the NYT or Washington Post would have published it. That means this guy was attempting to discredit Wikileaks by passing them bogus intel like the "Trump dossier" mixed with alrea

Don't people think this is sexist? If men and women are equal shouldn't they be treated the same in all situations?
