    Abolish the Welfare System in America Vol. Mature Discussion

    It's a terrible system that needs serious updates. I've been at Safeway behind a woman dressed really nicely with a real LV purse who paid with TANF. That should never happen. But I also see the worst of the worst of society in the ER. Women with 6 kids from 4 fathers who don't work and are on...

    Why are drugs bad?

    early use is linked to schizophrenia. Also, long term heavy use can result in cannabinoid induced hyperemesis. Even as a non user, I was skeptical about it until I ended up with several patients with all the symptoms. Really whacky thing, but would suck to have

    Any Primatologists on NT? vol. Cognitive Enrichment for Chimps

    I never realized zoos did this type of research. What region are you in? Odds are you're somewhere around a major research university with a primate research lab with people who have tons of experience that would be useful to talk to and you could try to coordinate with them/bounce ideas around...

    Why are drugs bad?

    Having rotated through a jail inpatient psychiatric unit, drugs are no damn good. Do some people use them casually with no/minimal affect on their life? Sure. But they have terrible potential to ruin lives and families. I've seen too many awful stories

    F1 Official Thread - Grand Prix of Britain

    well damn, i like the re-titling and new focus of this thread. The Austin track is indeed looking good. And as others have mentioned, seeing this in person just brings a whole new perspective. The sights and sounds are just fantastic. The closer the better, don't skimp on tickets if you're...

    Planet of the Apes - Mark Whalberg version???

    because everyone who had ever seen the original and 95% of people who hadn't thought (rightly so) it completely sucked. It was a disgrace to a great franchise and most people just try to pretend it doesn't exist

    Rise of The Planet of the Apes

    As a huge fan of the originals, I actually liked this movie. With the main exception of Tom Felton trying to redeliver one of the most classic lines in all of cinema. This was enough to make me fully forget about the last one I think. This could be the start of an interesting reimagination of...

    --[ TOP GEAR U.K SERIES 24 Started Mar. 6 ]--[The GRAND TOUR ]

    this series showing the world what I already knew about the MP4-12C gets the second I've issued on NT. The "criticisms" were irrelevant to me; I like the surgical precision of it as well, a future surgeon. Always been that way about my cars though. Hot laps with Lewis>*

    Male Birth Control Pill is Close

    a second misleading scientific headline from uninformed media tonight. This isn't really that close. All the potential methods to date have side effects NONE of you would want. It's a lot more difficult than the options for females

    Scientists identify seventh and eighth bases of DNA (article)

    See, this isn't news to those of us in science. We've known for a while now that transitional states had to exist for certain processes. Plus this stuff was actually done a while back, it just takes a lot of time to get it all worked up to publishing. I remember a guest lecturer from that lab...

    Why is there so much disgusting obesity in this country?

    It's ultimately the same reason why any form of government health care reform/intervention won't ever be successful. Society doesn't wasn't to hear it, but people are ceasing to take personal responsibility for their actions. Instant gratification has become king. People snack far more than they...

    Should high-school dropouts be banned from getting their driver's license?

    This is out of hand, but there DOES need to be some kind of reform in the license system across America. Things should be more standardized across states, and the tests should be 20 times more stringent than they are now. Along the lines of the UK/Germany/Finland etc. We let complete idiots...
