Good point, I was too lazy to post the link, my bad. List of quotes from people who Gary has misrepresented: http://www.bodyforwife.com/an-open-letter-to-gary-taubes/

(for newtboy, notice how this is not a vegan website, nor are the people complaining about Gary Taubes vegan researchers)


Sugar consumption going down since the late 90s https://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/data-mine/2014/02/25/surprise-american-sugar-consumption-is-on-the-decline

Indeed this video is about sugar, but it's a common strategy to use sugar to demonise carbs(the only research you will ever find where "carbs" are bad for you, always use sugar of some type). Every single popular diet today uses this kind of shitty research to back up their diets. They're all variations of low-carb: atkins, paleo, keto, isogenics etc because this is what sells the most animal products, which is a far more lucrative industry than grains and beans. But possibly more importantly it doesn't work in the long run! So you have repeat customers. They lose weight quickly for 6 months, then in 12-18 months time they are heavier than how they started.



BTW this is vegan http://www.blogto.com/restaurants/doomies-toronto/

You don't have to eat healthy all the time once you are at a stable weight and your other biosigns are good, pig out every now and then .

Life won't be so short this way ;-) (on average 13 years longer)

An open letter to cows everywhere:

Dear Cows,

You are stupid.

That is why we eat you.

Okay Enzo. I've already been thru this with Newtboy.

I don't want to have another pointless back and forth.

I'm not trying to start a flame war.

So please explain what you're citing as "the truth" in that seemingly bias "rational"wiki page.

[I say that because "hate-train" doesn't seem like very objective or academic terminology]

Please explain away this instance of Sarkeesian's theft and misappropriation of a female artist's work.

And this instance of fabricated gameplay footage from Hitman: Absolution.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuRSaLZidWI&t=149

The footage she uses in her FemFreq video implies that the ENTIRE point of this section of the game is to brutalize women.

When, in fact, the game penalizes players for killing ANY civilians.

Every other legitimate walk-through of this game & mission clearly shows the player completely avoiding the exotic dancers.

Please do your best to avoid semantics and objectively justify this behavior. Thanks

Open Letter to VideoSift:

Please don't support Anita Sarkeesian.

She's a con-artist whose tactics are damaging to the issues, causes, & movements she claims to advocate.

Here's my evidence:
http://videosift.com/video/Porn-Actress-Mercedes-Carrera-LOSES-IT-With-Modern-Feminists#comment-1854142

If anyone can succinctly explain how her history, tactics & actions don't amount to fraud, I'll concede & never speak out about her on the sift again.

Otherwise, I feel like it's an imperative to inform everyone - who finds her or her campaigns/messages relevant - of the behavior that Sarkeesian displays.

Con-artists should be called out.

No matter how politically progressive their platform might be.

Peace, happy debating.
Essie.

Since Newt keeps hounding me and you all are too lazy to research yourselves..

Anita Sarkeesian is a puppet

Who is only looking to further her career

Who blatantly steals the work of others

Even other women within the sub-culture she's trying to "expose"

Going so far as to fabricate gameplay footage, just to fit her narrative agenda

Now respectfully view these poor oppressed women who are clearly shunned & barred from the horrendous boys club that is Gamer-dom!! spooky spooky!

Sure sounds like it fits the Logan Act to a T to me. Just because others did it and weren't charged in the past doesn't invalidate the clearly broken law.
Can anyone charge them with treason, or does it have to come from the DOJ, because I'm ready! Imagine, 3 years with standing, but absent republicans "in charge" of congress (but no longer having a majority vote)! Hilarious!
I love it that, in their 'open letter', they completely misrepresent the facts, congress doesn't ratify treaties as they claimed, nor does it take 2/3 vote to concede and let the president ratify them, and he doesn't need their concession anyway. D'oh! Another republican mega-fail. I hope they go down hard this time.

It is more likely that Ellen will see the whole thing if it goes viral. Hence the "open letter" aspect.

And there is where we get down to it, isn't it? Your opinion, my opinion. Yours carries no more weight than mine, yeah?

1) it's clearly not for Ellen alone. It's the 21st century equivalent of the open letter. It's meant to have mass appeal so Ellen will see it. Somehow I doubt Ellen watches every video she's sent and even if she just sent it privately...

2) that's no excuse for the condescending tone and the poorly presented argument. Ellen is no doubt a busy woman and will only ever hear a summary of this anyway.

3) Ellen is not a complete idiot. I'm sure she's aware of the criticisms against psychics. So that means she either a) believes in psychics, b) doesn't put any stock in the criticisms or c) knows they're frauds, but figures they get good ratings.

And yes, it would be fantastic if this worked. If it does, I will publicly stand up and applaud skepchick. But I really wish she'd done a better job of this. For someone who makes a living doing this kinda thing, it's just really poorly done IMO.

edit: And just for the record, I didn't realise it was Watson when I first watched it.
