sugar is a natural preservative - it has been used to make just about every relish known to man in order to compliment and balance out other preservatives such as strong acids in vinegar and of course saltyness.
Tomatoes in particular can be very acidic and it's common to use sugar to even out the taste as some varieties of toms are more acid than others and there will be varying ripeness.
Ketchup is a concentrated tomato paste so you are getting 'refined' sugar from somewhere - e.g either added or from sugars in the sweet tomatoes themselves.
I'm not saying that there isn't too much sugar added to food, but there is a reason for using it in cooking. If i'm making home made ketchup - it often needs a pinch or two of sugar to mellow the acidity.

Few are as mellow as these cats

She is really mellow.

Yellow mellow custard?

Interesting that A10anis keeps citing "the data and statistics", and yet hasn't cited a single datum or statistic. Although completely unrelated to knowledge of dog attacks, his shocking ignorance of exercise physiology (the relationship between long duration aerobic exercise and muscle catabolism is pretty well established -- exhaust your Glucose stores, and your body starts breaking down muscle and fat to keep your body moving) doesn't help his case much.

I haven't studied the "inherent violence" of the American Pit Bull Terrier to any great extent, so without any actual data, who knows whether or not they truly are "inherently violent". What I can say is that there are a number of breeds that are commonly mistaken for the Pit Bull, and dog attacks by any breed that vaguely looks like a Pit Bull often get called a "Pit Bull Attack" in the media. I have never owned a Pit, but my interactions with the breed suggest that they are very mellow and gentle: the polar opposite of, say, the highly strung, yappy, and territorial Chihuahua. The difference however is that if you piss a Chihuahua off it's not going to be able to do much to hurt you, whereas an angry Pit Bull can kill you. Of course, this is all just conjecture from anecdote, but until someone actually posts some data, that's all we have to go on.

@Stormsinger... then maybe you should do it for a week, if those four words don't show up in daily life? Two days? Three days? Especially if you don't watch TV.
If the sample size is too small, then the scientific and social experiment won't have enough data.
It'll show up in videos though. Titles on videos. Comments on videos. That might be a good source. After all, it popped on this video, which prompted this whole conversation!
FYI -- Your "different views" aren't different to me, which is why I say it is the same conversation. I have heard all this before, at various times over the past 40 years. It may be new to you. It isn't to me.
Really happy that you are up for it. This is something new for me, asking folks to try this. I'm really excited to learn about your experience. However it plays out.
Yippee!

You're missing the point. It doesn't matter how many conversations you've had...what's going on -here- is three separate conversations, not one. Just because they blur together for you, doesn't actually unify them.

Nor is the conversation new to me...although the last time I had it, was in college with my then rabidly feminist girlfriend. The girls I grew up with, and the women they became, made it impossible to think that they were in any way less than men. So even then it was mostly just tweaking her...she was cute when she got all wound up. She still is, but she's mellowed quite a bit and reserves her energy for fights that will make an actual difference.

AM WE the only ones think this bitch needs some hard ass-fucking treatment?


you mean like modern day therapy? i'm pretty sure she could use some kind of drug to mellow her some, chill her out a little......what could that be?......hmmmm

now that i think about it, it does seem quite preposterous that those who've never tried the drug are often the ones passing judgement on it.

My favorites: This Too Shall Pass, Let It Rain, Shortly Before the End, and the one you mention below. All mellow-ish as well.

In reply to this comment by probie:
I really like their more subdued and mellow tracks. This and "Oh Lately It's So Quiet" are the tops in my book.

I love how they're all so mellow... except for Sam Bush.

Interesting to contrast the earlier ELO (JL, Bev Bevan, Kelly Groucutt et al) with later Jeff Lynne version

The latter is a little more mellow but I have to go with the original.

I can't believe anyone would mistake this for the original. He is, indeed, very good but lacks the power and energy of Freddy Mercury. He is too mellow, especially at the beginning (it does pick up some). However, he is definitely damn good.

Here's the scoop:

JWH-018 makes you feel more stoned than the first time you got stoned. If you don't know what that means, well... no wonder people were freaking out.

JWH-122 which i use now daily, is a LOT more mellow. I can smoke it once and be stoned all day but relaxed, more CBD like. 75$ for 5 grams that lasts months. I'm talking pure powder that i mix into my own smokable. I don't smoke blends of rose hips and bay bean sprayed with acetone dissolved JWH, like vendors sell.

These are synthetic cannabinoids, they are full agonists and bind very tightly to the CB receptors. THC and CBD are partial agonists and mitigate each others effects. These chemicals are no joke and have been available for a long time, proving that if cannabis was legal that NOTHING bad would happen. These drugs are far more potent and the world has had access to them for years by mail-order, and the results are in.

You WILL freak out if you are not a cannabis user or someone with experience smoking. I've smoked for over a decade before trying these compounds and it was like i was 16 all over again. The strange thing is the intense effects last only up to an hour, then you're ok again. The effects seem additive, whereas you can smoke cannabis non-stop, you actually reach a point of intoxication that can be nauseating (happened two times on JWH-018, I was sweating, throwing up, couldn't come down... but then I did... and it happened from using too much 018 too quick).

Also, my anxiety and depression seemed very well managed on a combination of JWH-122 and Sertraline HCl (gen Zoloft). I no longer get angry and sad, and want to just throw it all away because the world is big and scary.


Cannabis prohibition is very strange. I like being told as an American that i can't be tortured, held without cause, executed in street... but the can'ts should all be bad things. I can't smoke cannabis BECAUSE I'm American. Even the Israeli govt is legalizing medical marijuana for its citizens, yet my country who gives them money to exist, says I cannot. I can't because I'm American. Wierd. So I'll pay less to get more stoned.

Normally I love Maru videos, but the soundtrack ruins this one for me. It needs something more mellow and happy.
