| I do agree that this has definetly become like 9/11 all over again. It's sad how two terrorist attacks in 21st century can ultimately shape the worldview of the many in a negative way. Both attacks were done on purpose to goad a Western power to act irrationally, and fall into the trap. Ben Laden w... |

| I don't remember the specific details but I read an article about this a couple a years ago. I think it said some cats can have a parasite that they suspect cause schizophrenia if transfered to people. Yes. The linked article in the original post mentions the parasite T Gondi. A protozoan microbe t... |

| A friend interpreted it "billions of burgers served", and said "you dont care about the billions theyve served. You care about the one you're eating right now". But I am rather sure it meant "billions of customers served". |

| Yes. She's Israeli. Its a good song. With lyrics that seem to describe someone who just fell to earth from a flying saucer, or was born here as an aspie/autistic. |

Might people inclined toward schizophrenia be more inclined to get a cat?
Do crazy cat ladies collect cats because theyre psycho...or are they psycho because they collect cats? |

| I remember reading a profile a science professor at my old university when I was a student there in the Seventies...almost as an aside and as after thought he said he had a theory that "cat ownership causes schizophrenia". Well...I guess someone finally got around to testing his hypothesis... |

| The term "antisemitism" was coined by a guy named "Bill Marr" believe it or not. :lol: Not the current cable TV comic, but the Nineteenth Century German publicist Wilhelm Marr. Jews had been at odds with their Christian neighbors in Europe for at least 1500 years. But most of tha... |

| It's also not true that people who describe themselves as woke see Jews as white and therefore privileged.
