thats the reason why i will immigrate to russia in a few years.
looking at all that shit, the Muslims have caused, i cant see a reason to stay in europe.
i believe, that the migration before WW2 will repeat.
intelligent people can already "feel" that europe soon will lose the security, due to muslim overrun.

>holy shit they just keep talking over nigel.

Why should that surprised you? When their argument fails to stand to reason, they just try to shrill the opposition into silence. But that's starting not to work. So they turn up the s shrill. More to their undoing. Faster the better.

>Tovar said diet culture is a tool of “white heteronormative society”

If this fat cunt lived outside of White Society for a minute, she'd realize that most people can't afford to be fat, lazy cunts.

Kind of hard to be a fat piece of shit when you need to harvest your own food, and it's especially hard being a fat piece of shit when you don't live in a country where, if you're a fatter piece of shit than most, they'll give you a pension for being disabled where you can spend money you didn't earn on food to be an even fatter piece of shit than before.

Only reason why fat people are beloved in poorer nations is because when people see a fat person amidst all the poverty, they can say "wow, that fat fuck must be doing something right!" God DAMN I fucking hate fat first worlders.

>The Biotechnology Innovation Organization, which represents companies that sell genetically modified seeds, said it was “pleased” that the study found “that agricultural biotechnology has many demonstrated benefits to farmers, consumers and the environment.’’

>But Michael Hansen, senior scientist at Consumers Union, which is critical of the crops, pointed to the lack of a significant increase in yield.

>“Despite industry claims, these crops are clearly not the answer to world hunger,” he said in a statement.

>Perhaps because of the sensitivity and complexity of the issue, many of the document’s conclusions are hedged by caveats.

>“We received impassioned requests to give the public a simple, general, authoritative answer about G.E. crops,” Fred Gould, a professor of entomology at North Carolina State University and chairman of the committee that compiled the report, wrote in the preface. “Given the complexity of G.E. issues, we did not see that as appropriate.”

>This is the latest of several reports on genetically modified crops by the National Academies, which are private, nonprofit organizations set up by Congress to give advice on issues related to science, technology and medicine.
...

>A previous report by the groups, released in 2010, found that genetic engineering had provided environmental and economic benefits to American farmers.

>The new report was written by a committee of 20, almost all of them from academia. There was no one from crop biotechnology companies like Monsanto or DuPont on the committee, though some members have developed genetically engineered crops and might have been consultants to the companies.

>The committee examined more than 1,000 studies, heard testimony from 80 witnesses in a series of public meetings and webinars, and analyzed 700 comments submitted by the public.

>The committee concentrated its review on the genetically engineered crops that account for the vast bulk of such plants grown in the United States. These are corn and cotton containing bacterial genes that make the crops resistant to certain insects; and soybeans, corn and cotton that are resistant to herbicides, particularly glyphosate, the main ingredient in Roundup.

>The report says that foods made from such crops do not appear to pose health risks, based on chemical analyses of the foods and on animal feeding studies, though it says many animal studies are too small to provide firm conclusions. Several other regulatory, scientific and health organizations have previously also concluded that the foods are safe.
...

>The committee also looked at the incidence of certain diseases, in some cases comparing rates in North America, where genetically modified crops have been part of the diet since 1996, and Western Europe, where food from biotech crops is not eaten much. It said it found no evidence that the crops had contributed to an increase in the incidence of cancer, obesity, diabetes, kidney disease, autism, celiac disease or food allergies.

>The document also says the regulatory system should be tiered, with potentially riskier products receiving greater scrutiny before they can be marketed, whether those products are made using genetic engineering or not. Other new products, regardless of how they are made, might need virtually no scrutiny. New techniques like DNA sequencing can be used to more closely analyze the molecular composition of food products, the authors write.

>“Clearly the report makes a bold statement in favor of greater transparency and modernizing the review system to make sure the regulatory tools are keeping pace with the technology,” said Scott Faber, vice president for government affairs at the Environmental Working Group, which advocates labeling.

>Regarding environmental effects, the report says there is “no conclusive evidence of a cause-and-effect relationship ship between G.E. crops and environmental problems. It says it has not been proved that the increased planting of such crops is indirectly responsible for the decline of the monarch butterfly.

Thank you based anon. I'm going to blame countless microaggresions on Jeremy and outright hate speech on Damien.

"There was a social gathering in the dorms and I overheard Jeremy mention that when he was over in India, it was difficult to find a public restroom. Damien said he had the same problem when he was an exchange student in China.

So what? Are they suggesting that people who defecate in private are somehow better than everyone else? This is Western privilege at its worst."

Oh look more /pol/ bait. That's so rare on /news/.

>The sheer amount of stock market wealth erased by Apple is staggering as measured by:

>* Exceeding market losses at Enron. The Texas-based energy firm, which once was also a darling with many professional and individual investors, was worth $60 billion at the end of 2000 before it imploded following an accounting scandal and stock investors were wiped out, according to research from Harvard Business School professors Paul Healy and Krishna Palepu. That means Apple investors have lost four times more in paper losses than investors lost in all of Enron stock. Doradla points out, however, Apple created much more stock wealth during its ascent than Enron, too.

>"Apple created six to seven times more in equity value than Enron ever created, so comparing dollar amounts of decline (is) probably not fair," says Tavis McCourt, analyst at Raymond James. The other big difference is fraud and faulty accounting triggered the decline in Enron and resulted in the company becoming the sixth largest bankruptcy in U.S. story, says BankruptcyData.com. Apple is a perfectly sound company, on the other hand, and has $233 billion in cash and investments. "What Buffett's and Icahn's investment before him show is that Apple's historic valuation creation over the past decade is built on a solid foundation of cash flow, with an outlook that many reasonable people conclude can continue to grow over the long term," McCourt says.

>* Ranking among biggest wealth destroyers. The $240 billion lost on Apple makes it the fourth largest market value loss among current members of the Standard & Poor's 500 from their all-time highs to now, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global. Cisco Systems (CSCO)'s $419 billion loss from its dot-com bubble top on March 27, 2000 remains the largest amount lost. But Apple's loss even exceeds that on Exxon Mobil (XOM), which has taken a hit from the implosion of oil prices. Shares of Exxon are only down 13%, or $71 billion, from its all-time high in July 2014.

>* Depressing the Dow. Apple has been an unwelcome drag on the Dow Jones industrial average ever since it was added March 19, 2015. During that time, Apple has dropped 26% while the company it replaced, AT&T (T) has jumped 16%. Apple's anchor is a big reason why the Dow is down more than 2% since March 2015, with the stock accounting for about a fourth of the Dow's point loss since joining the average.

>* Recalling past bubbles. It's difficult to compare the Apple implosion with other manias since it's one company while the Internet bubble was characterized by hundreds. But the amount of money lost on Apple’s stock is 20% of the $1.4 trillion value of the Internet bubble near its peak, measured by the USA TODAY Internet 100 on March 2000 of the 83 members with valid historical data. It's important to note that unlike many Internet companies, Apple is highly profitable unlike many dot-coms which imploded. Apple reported a profit of more than $50 billion over the past 12 months.

>Investors can't deny the size of the losses, but many analysts insist it's an opportunity not the start of something worse. The average analyst thinks Apple's stock will be trading for $124 a share in 18 months, which is 31% potential upside. "Its not the first time (Apple stock has) been this inexpensive relative to near-term earnings," McCourt says. "When this last occurred, the optimists were duly rewarded."

I know it's nonsense of my behalf but I truly hope the degenerates that do indulge transgenderism rape some girls.

They're proven degenerates. It's not a matter of opinion - go browse any MtF thread on /lgbt/, they're not sensible humans - hell, they're barely human.

I'm just glad I don't have a daughter.
