HOW ABOUT THEM CHIEFS?!?!?!

No, seriously, what was your reaction when Sherman coffed up that fumble right after we got one off them? Predictions for the rest of the season?

I wouldn't say it's worse at all. Just a different medium.

I thought the actual statistic was that only 10% of rape and sexual assault/harrassment get reported. Can anyone who's throwing around this 10% statistic find a link supporting it. Ideally a primary source?

Dr. Singer,

You advocate for veganism quite often, and I wanted to know a bit more behind your rationale. I will grant that the animal industry as it currently is is quite unethical under utilitarianism - the suffering of these animals is not worth the momentary fleeting pleasure gained by eating them, nor is it worth any proposed advantages of a non-vegan diet. However, and I do not want this to be seen as an attempt to justify eating meat or animal products produced by an the current industry, supposing that someone raised their own animals in a conscientious way, ensuring that the animals could enjoy their lives (however long those lives are), and supposing that animals slaughtered are slaughtered quickly, and with as little pain as possible, would it still be wrong to eat them/use their byproducts? Is the suffering of these animals the main negative utility associated with the industry, or are there other concerns that would still outweigh the benefits associated with eating meat?
