+ Cannibalism could solve many of the world's problems, including:
food shortages,
over-population,
global warming,
traffic congestion,
crime,
unemployment, and
vegetarianism.
Of course, no one would eat clowns, because they taste funny.

I should have credited that to George Carlin (I think).

Monster, I'm aware that some vegetarians eat dairy products, however my argument was in respect to the comment about vegetarian diets taking up less space. If a vegetarian is eating dairy, then they're responsible for cows too.

no argument from me, just wasn't sure about the Aussie abbreviations.

Unpopular opinion: the same ideology that allows someone the freedom to practice Christianity allows people to marry someone of the same gender, if they choose to.

Unpopular opinion:

I hate Metallica. They, in fact, suck. (Hey, I told you it wouldn't be popular.)

Purchased the Black Album when I was in college. It did, indeed, suck.
I hate soulless music.

There is only one race, the human race. Some of us lived in different climates long enough to evolve more melanin or less to keep out the sun or less to absorb more vitamin D because of less sun. More muscle mass and less fat due to more work out in the elements or more fat due to more cold due to long winter months inside. Wider noses with more capillaries or thinner noses to cool us or keep us warmer… but all are just the human race and just superficial surface alterations and all are adaptations that helped our large brains keep us on top of the game of over-coming our environment and there has never been a study that has shown one group from any environment is less mentally adaptive than another. No one group has any right or logical reason to feel proud of their physical traits.
Feel connected and proud of your ancestor’s and social background’s achievements, fine. But, they were also murder’s and barbarians and someone else beat them at their own game somewhere along the line and everyone else has just as much right to feel the same way as you do, so why get too puffed up about it all? Unless, you are happy for us all and equally chagrined as well… to me that makes the most sense, after all, we are just one race and all brothers and sisters, truly. Science has proved it. One mother.
Get rid of our superstitions and the myth of race and we take some huge strides toward really getting rid of some damaging wastes of time!

How can you say definitely wrong, when it's something that has been debated by scientists for many years?

According to Wikipedia:
Quote:
Since the 1940s, some evolutionary scientists have rejected the view of race according to which any number of finite lists of essential characteristics could be used to determine a like number of races. For example, the convention of categorizing the human population based on human skin colors has been used, but hair colors, eye colors, nose sizes, lip sizes, and heights have not. The general opinion among the vast majority of scientists is to reject the notion that common race definitions, or any race definitions pertaining to humans, have any taxonomic rigour and validity.[3] Mainstream scientists have thus argued that race definitions are imprecise, arbitrary, derived from custom, have many exceptions, have many gradations, and that the numbers of races observed vary according to the culture examined. They further maintain that "race" as such is best understood as a social construct, and they prefer to conceptualize and analyze human genotypic and phenotypic variation in terms of populations and clines instead.
