I'm not sure I believe it. You would be evaluated and either discharged or committed to the psych ward within the first day, you wouldn't be kept in emergency in-patient.

Whatever you do, don't self-immolate. Sadly, this guy will get 2-3 days media attention, and then be forgotten, having accomplished nothing. We can all put our energy to better use.

You're only accountable for the things you can control. For most people, that's not very much, sadly. Think about what you can do within your ability, for example, speaking out, attending protests, donating to causes or volunteering for causes that support the people of palestine, etc. Someone might come along and say you're not doing enough, but doing something is always better than doing nothing, no matter how small.

All Americans, since US of America became a country, have been alive during slavery. Slavery was never fully outlawed. Does any American actually read their constitution? Maybe start with the 13th amendment?

"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

Clearly made with care, not just gross slop. Reminds me of this report from the CIA that Soviet diet was more nutritious.

FULL TEXT:

American and Soviet citizens eat about the same amount of food each but the Soviet diet may be more nutritious.

According to a CIA report released today (8 Jan, 1983)) both nationalities may be eatng too much for good health.

The CIA drew no conclusions about the nutritional makeup of the Soviet and American diets but commonly accepted U.S. health views suggest the Soviet diet may be slightly better.

According to Central Intelligence Agency, an average Soviet citizen consumes 3 280 calorious a day, compared to 3 520 calories for the American.

The average daily calorie intake in teh Soviet Union is: grain products and potates 44%; sugar 13%; dairy and eggs 11%; fats and oils 17%; meat and fish 8%; and other products 7%.

The american consumes daily: grain and potatoes 26%,; sugar 17%; dairy and eggs 12%; fats and oils 18%; meat and fish 21%; and other products 6%.

Americans eat more fish and more sugar, more dairy products and eggs, and more fats and oils and less grain the average Soviet citizen, and consumes more calories.

Generally held nutrional standards suggest individuals need fewer calories, less meat, less sugar and more grain to stay fit.

I've done engineering technical writing in the past for a career.

If I had nothing better to do, I'd take the interview and show up with grammar corrections to their joke of a posting. These people clearly aren't serious. I've worked with mega type As in the past, the type of people who are serious. They wouldn't release such a terrible job announcement.

Raise the wage. Here's why: They are going to raise the prices anyways. 10 bucks for pretty much any fast food meal these days.

I agree. Mammals have higher brains and reasoning, on the scale of animal eating ethics, eating mammals is the least ethical, compared to certain fish/reptiles (not saying anyone should eat any animals) just that mammals have the most advanced brains as we understand them, and birds are pretty advanced too.

Having said that about mammals, it's not clear that other mammals form the same types of long term bonds that humans expect. Like, I did all this great stuff for this animal, so this animal is going to treat me good. It's more like, the animal is reacting to get what it wants, and it's very encounter to encounter.
