For those not understanding a number of people from Asia eat the paddy straw mushroom which grows wild. Thing is it looks exactly like the deathcap mushroom.

It's very common for Asian immigrants to pick death cap mushrooms thinking they are the same mushrooms they had back home.

Our country was not founded on religion. Stop spreading lies. Bother to do some actual research and you will find that Christians back then considered the creation of the United States to be a blasphemous act and that the founding fathers were called atheists.

All claims that the country was founded on Christianity turn out to be comprised of falsehoods and known debunked lies spread by evangelical preachers who looking to make a buck from their idiot followers.

Sorry Jesus didn't do anything that several other sons of gods did. Hell there is a reason why the Jews didn't accept Jesus because Jesus was a pagan god concept. Jesus didn't fullfill any critera of the Jewish Messiah and the Jews had several messiahs.

In God We Trust was added to the paper currency in the 1950s. It was not the national motto. That was E Pluribus Unum.

This country was not founded on Christanity and that was in a treaty that was signed by unanimous consent, printed on the front page of every newspaper and mentioned to other countries as well as in other treaties, legal decisions for close to two hundred years.

Ah taxes the lowest they have ever been. Used to be those making a million dollars or more each year had a marginal tax rate of 50-90%. Corporations also had twice the amount of taxes they have and made as much profit as they do now. Here is the thing Revenue isn't taxed profits are. So if a company invests most of it's money to avoid paying high taxes in the long run makes far more money and still makes profit in the millions and billions even with said high taxes. Lowering taxes causes a corp and a wealthy person to horde the money and not invest it since there is no point to investing any more.

There was an episode where they showed a foie gras that was naturally produced. The geese in this one farm ate the nuts they found on the ground and their livers met the standard of foie gras. The geese weren't overfed either it was their natural diet that caused their livers to turn into foie gras. Ramsay was able to identify this naturally occuring foie gras and state that it was rougher then the foie gras produced from force feeding ducks.

I have no idea where your friend bought his bulbs or what brand but the majority of cfls work just fine and not only don't cost that much but lower ones electricity bills by a huge margin and therby lower the amount of mercury and other toxins dumped into the enviroment plus also reduce the amount of oil being burned so less oil needs to be imported.

Also the coal industry fights measures tooth and nail to prevent the use of technology that would capture the mercury being emitted by coal plants not only in the air but also in the ash pits which contain mercury.

You do know right that the burning of coal to power up an incandesant and the amount of incandesants to equal a cfl bulb releases billions of times more mercury then the cfl bulb does . You also save money by doing a cfl bulb plus replace the bulb less meaning it's safer to use a cfl then a regular bulb (quite a number of people have accidents when changing a bulb which for elderly can be fatal) and most cfls these days are brighter and look nicer then incandesants. Plus due to less heat you have far less chance of causing a house fire with a cfl bulb.


Also the cfl mercury in the landfill is localized instead of being dumped into the air as with burning coal that then said mercury also gets in the water supply and you also breathe it in and guess what there are tons of batteries in landfills which also have toxic metals in them.

How much mercury do power plants emit to light a CFL?
About 50 percent of the electricity produced in the U.S. is generated by coal-fired power plants. When coal burns to produce electricity, mercury naturally contained in the coal releases into the air. In 2006, coal-fired power plants produced 1,971 billion kilowatt hours (kwh) of electricity, emitting 50.7 tons of mercury into the air—the equivalent amount of mercury contained in more than 9 billion CFLs (the bulbs emit zero mercury when in use or being handled).

Approximately 0.0234 mg of mercury—plus carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide—releases into the air per 1 kwh of electricity that a coal-fired power plant generates. Over the 7500-hour average range of one CFL, then, a plant will emit 13.16 mg of mercury to sustain a 75-watt incandescent bulb but only 3.51 mg of mercury to sustain a 20-watt CFL (the lightning equivalent of a 75-watt traditional bulb). Even if the mercury contained in a CFL was directly released into the atmosphere, an incandescent would still contribute 4.65 more milligrams of mercury into the environment over its lifetime

Fascinating that is actually something Reagan and other conservatives since it increases the size of gov't.

Sorry Reagan was a diaster for the country. When one bothers to actually fact check what he did one sees that the image of him is just that an image built up from a false picture.

The Daily Show blasts anyone including democrats. It's just that Republicans are hypocritical douchebags so 99.99 of his material are Republicans. Same goes for scandals in DC 99.9999 of the people involved are Republicans hence why Republicans never call for cleaning out corruption among their party since there would be no Republican party left.
