Fad diet spammer in LBN thread on obesity and food security

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014146320

The poster "sense" is spamming the thread with Paleo Diet promotions filled with outright pseudoscientific falsities (crap about the body "not being able to recognize wheat&quot . I alerted and 4 jurors apparently think spam is OK as long as it's spam that bashes Big Pharma and the Evul Gummit.

I found the perfect anthem for Occupy.



It's about a grassroots political movement during the English Civil War called the Diggers.

New Agers bashing "Materialism" get on my nerves.

On a current events & history message board I post on the resident New Ager & Astrologer started this thread and is driving me and several other posters crazy with his repetitive rants equating philosophical "Materialism" (Naturalism) with Economic "Materialism" (Consumerism and Corporate Capitalism). And he also spews a lot of "Quantum Theory disproves materialism" nonsense.

I can't believe perfectly intelligent people can believe such nonsense.

Adobe Flash Player not working.

For the last few days YouTube videos and other media that use Adobe Flash Player (like internet radio) have not been working, the media will not load. YouTube gives me the "An error occured, please try again later" message.

I use the latest version of FireFox and I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.

My old man finally found a job!

My dad is one of the sugar processing workers who have been locked out by American Crystal Sugar for a year now. He finally found a new job and it is even better than his old one. He will be working at a factory that makes parts for vehicles and machines. It's a unionized shop and offers excellent pay and benifits.

I'm surprised there are still mechanical parts factories still in this country, I would have thought they had all been outsourced!

The "centrists" running the Democratic Party are to blame for Walker's win.

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz needs to go, she is worse than useless.
