Twice the clickbait for the same lame concept! I've seen this recurring pattern where one journalist'll pen a provocative article like: "As a motorist, I wish all cyclists would be squashed by big cement trucks", bathe in the resulting Twitter storm, then pass the baton to a colleague who'll respond with a: "Why all drivers are maniacs who shouldn't be allowed to exceed 5mph in their stupid death-vehicles". Whatever keeps the page views rolling in!

The Telegraph also have an article up right now by James Delingpole titled "Why Fox Hunting is the Greatest Sport on this Green Earth". With these two and that Corbyn Cancels Christmas article, it seems that they've decided to give up any pretense of being a proper newspaper and are going down the Daily Mail route of posting incendiary bullshit in hopes that it'll get shared on the Internet by outraged lefties.

big scary monsters posted:Just took a look on my Facebook to see what the internet has been doing in my absence, and holy poo poo, Yorkshire is underwater. One road into my village is flooded but the other one is fine. Next village over is hosed and in general the area is screwed. I suspect Leeds and York will be hosed for their week of Boxing Day/January sales. But there's a chance Cameron will turn up in the area tomorrow to look around and see what happens when you cut all the funds for flood defences...and then not do anything.

Every relevant army has a white propaganda unit, you might as well define a modern army as having one. It's not the same as what Russia and China do to gently caress with democratist dissidents in their own countries. I don't think it was being used in this way. White propaganda works and doesn't involve bullets. This was done before we decided to fly over every night and see what we could bomb.

As mentioned in the article it's such a broad group of people it's almost meaningless. The young white male that the uk thread would hate (posh young tory) could be the complete opposite of the young white male that some one else hated (poor kid from a council estate). Also it's the easiest group of people too give an answer too in a survey (only the most brazen racists generally reveal their true feelings). I haven't actually bothered too see if this was online or not.

Ever watched videos of an industrial slaughter house? There's a particularly telling one from a pig slaughterhouse you can find online. The animals are heavily dosed with anti-biotics because the meat is actually filled with bacteria to such a degree that some animals cannot walk due to their ailments and the animals are 99% of the time filled with pus and infected tissues. Every animal is lanced as it passes down the line and what comes out is vile beyond belief. Kokoro Wish fucked around with this message at 12:08 on Dec 27, 2015 |

Renaissance Robot posted:I have never heard of this and also what the hell? quote:It is estimated that over one-half of the antibiotics in the U.S. are used in food animal production. The overuse of antimicrobials in food animal production is an under-appreciated problem. In both human and veterinary medicine, the risk of developing resistance rises each time bacteria are exposed to antimicrobials. Resistance opens the door to treatment failure for even the most common pathogens and leads to an increasing number of infections. The mounting evidence of the relationship between antimicrobial use in animal husbandry and the increase in bacterial resistance in humans has prompted several reviews of agricultural practices by scientific authorities in a number of countries, including the US. It's very common in India and China too. Nothing will change in America (and maybe India too) because money owns politics in both places but it's an incredibly stupid policy. It's been illegal in the EU since 2006 but compliance has been spotty. edit: Also in India you can also literally buy antibiotics over the counter without a prescription, a sensible and intelligent policy with no conceivable downsides at all.

Renaissance Robot posted:I have never heard of this and also what the hell? factory farming makes animals incredibly sick and is what most vegans are so rightly pissed about. Discovering that bacteria can parallel transfer antiobiotic resistance is just the poo poo death cherry on the cruelty pie Zephro posted:
not that this is a good defense in any way, but I thought the argument was "meat can't transfer antibiotic resistances because they're a genetic issue", which China has confirmed is untrue. Antiobiotic apocalypse is well on the way, and as someone spending their life immunocomprimised, I am not so keen. Zephro posted:From this (and the rise of XDR-TB and the rest) we can only conclude that Darwin Was Right and that doctors should be given compulsory courses in evolutionary biology, antibiotics should be extremely tightly regulated, incorrectly prescribing them for viral infections should lead to being immediately struck off, and we should ban the import of meat treated with antibiotics and burn any that arrives on our shores. This is absolutely correct and necessary, I'd only argue that with our total lack of doctors we should simply switch the prescription system over to a proper dual-check system with more Pharmacy oversight and remove priveleges, not strike off, for failures on this. We can't afford to strike people off. But people are determined not to understand what the return of Measles and yeah, XDR-TB actually means for the world. We're about to leap 100 years backwards.

Zephro posted:If you cook the meat properly it's true that you personally won't catch diseases from eating it. But bacteria enthusiastically exchange genetic information via something called horizontal gene transfer (Bioshock fans: one mechanism is through plasmids, which are little portable package of DNA that bacteria exchange). So if one group of bacteria develops resistance they are capable of passing the relevant genes to other bacteria that don't yet have it. horizontal gene transfer was what I meant when I said parallel, do you have the study handy? This is genuinely an issue more important than anything except global warming. We've got a few decades to start discovering new antibiotics, or we might lose them. Drugs of last resort being dead is an unwelcome prospect that is already happening
