what is even considered a toxin

I just always considered a toxin as something natural or manufactured that you're exposed to, either via food/water or the environment, that has no nutritional or physiological value to you or can cause harm because of the possibility of it building up to toxic levels. Like, a lot of well water has varying levels of arsenic, depending on where you are. I personally would consider arsenic a toxin in this case.

That is a much better answer than I've ever heard before when someone asked the toxin question.

The toxicity of a substance is determined by the concentration. Any substance, natural or artificially synthesized, nutritious or not, has the potential to be toxic. Toxins are not a class of chemicals.
Ofcourse it's not at all unreasonable to call a substance that's highly toxic, e.a: causes harmful effects at very low concentration, a toxin.

The ingenious thing about the "Clinton murdered like 50 people" thing is that, due to the sheer number of people involved, the only way to fully address it is to make a really long argument explaining the different ways the various cases are being presented misleadingly (if not outright being lied about).

For many people, including the types of people who would believe a conspiracy theory this dumb, someone talking/writing a lot during an argument is perceived as dishonesty. There's this general perception among many people that, if someone talks a lot, it means they're trying to trick you. So, by creating an argument that can only be fully addressed with a long response, you put yourself in a situation where you'll never feel wrong. Either you can accuse the person if not fully addressing every point, or you can say that they're just trying to fool you with all their words.

No! Instead you have to post the Amazon description of his book Jesus Speaks: Secret Knowledge and Initiation at the Last Supper on his Facebook page.

quote:

The First Conspiracy ... The Last Conspiracy ... The Ultimate Conspiracy ...!!! What did Jesus tell his followers during the Last Supper? The Four Gospels offer limited clues, despite the obviously profound importance of this event. Faced with an impending arrest, Jesus knew that he'd never again be able to address those closest to him. Yet for 2,000 years, one of the greatest enigmas of our time has remained cloaked in mystery. What words of wisdom did this profound teacher disclose to his adherents? Now, in his most controversial book yet, Victor Thorn provides an epic, brutally honest portrait of the human condition that rivals anything ever placed on the printed page. Iconoclastic, and searing in its fearlessness, the veil of illusion is finally stripped away to completely expose the naked reality of our existence. One early critic stated that he wished every copy of this book would be burned so that no one else ever had the opportunity to read it. Thorn's words are more dangerous than any sword, and once the reader enters this battlefield of the mind, they ll emerge with insights that dramatically impact the way our past, present, and futures are viewed. Few books withhold the potential to change lives, but Jesus Speaks promises to open new vistas of understanding. This is major league conspiracy theory, and once this quest is embarked upon, a paradigm shift of undeniable proportions is sure to take place. A seductively disturbing journey into the heart of mankind s existence. Describing this book as unique is akin to calling the Great Sphinx just another monument. Liberating. Some of the topics included in Jesus Speaks: The sponsors of Jesus travels afar during his teenage years and early adult life, which lands he visited outside Israel, and the influential teachers that helped shape his world vision and philosophy. Although commonly called the devil, Lucifer, or Satan; the true source of evil (whose identity has been masked for millennia) is finally revealed. Who Jesus actually confronted in the desert after being baptized (prior to beginning his ministry). Proof of how the Genesis creation stories, as well as figures such as Moses and Abraham, were plagiarized from earlier cultures and mythologies. Were our ancestors, the original proto-human occupants of earth, targeted for genetic manipulation, then controlled through the invention of organized religion and government? Who were the ultimate culprits behind this nefarious plot? Discover the ghastly results of these medical experiments gone awry. Learn how ancient Mystery Schools, secret societies, and select familial bloodlines established a control pyramid that stretched from Sumeria, Mesopotamia, Babylon, Egypt, Greece, and Rome. The suppressed importance of forbidden archaeology, and a tour de force of lost monuments from prehistoric times. Conceptual differences between gradualism and catastrophism. Cycles of civilization explained, and how mankind existed on this planet long before our most recent 6,000 year epoch of time. Hidden symbolic meanings withheld in the Garden of Eden, Noah s Ark, Tower of Babel, Sodom & Gomorrah, plus Cain & Abel; and how they relate to the fundamental building block of life DNA. The true importance of Atlantis, the Great Pyramid, and other archaeological wonders. What caused the actual Fall of Man ? Discover how kings, pharaohs, princes, lords, generals, rabbis, and priests were put in place to subjugate man. Why the Old Testament is so strewn with violence, and how it involves Yahweh. Where did the Ten Commandments originate, and what they really mean. Who really raised Jesus, and how this small, isolated group that was erased from the New Testament were the most important figures in his life. John the Baptist s rebellious heroism, as well note: it cuts off there

Hell, I've been on SA for the better part of a decade and (and I mean this in the most self-deprecating way possible) I am only just now starting to be able to recognize certain individual usernames and link them to personalities in my head.

I was thinking, "I recognize you," when I got to the part about personalities, and I realized you're right. I recognize you because of your avatar (I commissioned Asimov artwork from another goon), but I can't link you to any specific posts or behavior in my brain. To be fair, that means you're at least not utterly reprehensible, because I'd probably remember that.

Throwing the switch is clearly the right thing to do. That comic isn't saying otherwise. The comic is saying people are afraid to do what they know is right, because they will be ostracized and suffer unjust consequences. The comic is stupid, but not because it's claiming that running over minorities with a train is the correct course of action.

Today's young women - any under 30 - were all mostly raised by single mothers because all of their mothers were whores and it's impossible to keep a father in the home when your mother is a whore.

So they were all raised by stupid trash whores and of course have zero social skills at all, all the charm of diarehha, zero character, complete flakes, zero shame and just cuss like a sailor, zero accountability, no concept of graciousness or empathy, just horrendous, vile and toxic, STD infested subhuman piles of poo poo as people, covered in tats and of course incredibly stupid and ignorant of everything and going further downhill and down the toilet everyday.

You see all these articles about how fathers are 'critical' to a child's socialization and development, well that's because men are simply better people all around; we have to be because that's what society expects from us; to be accountable and holds us accountable and we have to earn our way and earn respect, not just simply demand it like a oval office does.

And we're just better people anyway, most of us mentally stable and consistent, while cunts are mentally and emotionally unstable and psychotic from birth. The articles are a kind way of saying women are horrible subhuman poo poo people and men are real people which is why children need a father to simply teach them HOW TO BEHAVE and socialize and interact with the world as well as teach them moral and ethics. While women are barely above animals mentally or like toddlers, spiteful, petty, stupid, ignorant, jealous, flaky, vindictive, vile with all the attention span of a gnat.

Women are far too stupid to understand right from wrong much less concepts as complex as morality, commitment and ethics, which is why all of these young girls are so completely mindless and on the level of animals. A dog has far more character and intelligence than today's female.

Today's women are nothing but the lowest form of trash in human history. And of course in some ways women over 30 are even worse - they're just as low and just as trashy and stupid, but actually believe they are superior to men and more intelligent, which is always hysterical to watch i action as any man can instantly ruin their day by showing them just how loving stupid and uselss they are every second of the day.
