I blame ignorance rather than religion. A particular religion is the flavor of the week or few centuries, but lack of actual understanding is the reason for this situation and most other religious strife. For if people understood what this man did, like all of us do, they'd see their accusations are without merit.

Education and religion were tightly intertwined for centuries and still are in the regions with most the perceived "problems" now. Often the only education you can receive in these countries and regions is at a madras and perspectives outside of the dogma in the curriculum don't exist and are suppressed.

Say what you want about the US and Western education system's failings, but it sure gets this part of the test 100% right. Of course, discounting strange behavior in Texas regarding creationism and disputing evolution. And a few other rural places pushing their locally artisan agendas of ignorance.

You're being disingenuous. You said:

> I blame Islam.

That is not just 'pointing out religious violence' it's assigning blame.

Edit: It's also debatable that it's actually 'religious violence.' Iran is an oppressive regime that uses religion to legitimize itself. It's no more the 'fault of Islam' than religious justifications for slavery (in pre-Civil War US) are the 'fault of Christianity.'
Why All of You Suck
Then how do you explain things like genocide in Rwanda and cartel killings in Central America? Islam?

The fact of the matter is, humans by and large have been pretty shitty throughout history. Some places in this world are on a different timeline. Some happen to be Muslim countries, others happen to be Christian, and some have no majority religion at all.

Stoning people for adultery, beheading people over drug possession, and a lack of women's rights are all things you could criticize muslim countries for wrt Shariah law. Torturing people over political dissent isn't.

You might want to develop your comment instead of just using words that are mostly used for blind trolling ("nazism").

Wanting to exterminate all the jews and maintain the superiority of some concept of an Aryan race is nazism. Grading the edibility of animals by our perception of their intelligence might be right or might be wrong depending on your moral/ethical framework, but I'm not sure there is any consistent worldview in which it actually is nazism.

In other words, your comment doesn't help the vegetarian cause, and maybe being a bit more thoughtful is a small price to pay to turn that around.
> The US is late to the party and the deadline for implementation of this for billing Medicare, Medicaid etc, has been pushed back from 2012 t0 2013 to 2014 to 2015 because hospitals and physicians keep whining about the costs and administrative complexity, and certain politicians would like people to associate those costs and complexity with Obamacare, even though HHS adopted a final rule scheduling the transition to ICD in January 2009, a few days before Obama took office.

Hospitals aren't thrilled about this change, but they haven't been clamoring particularly loudly over this issue (compared to others).

There are rumors that Medicare itself isn't entirely ready for this change on a technical level (it requires a lot of costs on their end too, not just the hospitals), which is why the implementation has been delayed so many times. The most recent postponement (end of March 2014) was noteworthy because it was so sudden - the motion to postpone was expected not to pass until immediately before it was called (often a sign of backdoor shenanigans one way or the other).

Of course, these discussions all happen behind closed doors, so there's no way of knowing for sure. But I wouldn't be so quick to credit hospitals with successfully lobbying to postpone ICD-10, especially since they've been incredibly ineffective at lobbying for a number of policy changes that they care about much more.
Both animals live underwater, where it would be really hard for any advanced civilization to form (no fire, much harder to extract raw resources, much harder to build shelters out of dirt/straw/etc.), etc. It's probably not a coincidence that all civilizations (for a perhaps loose definition of civilization- bees, ants, termites, humans, etc.) live on firm ground.
Generally the IO monad means "FFI". So in that sense it is very distinctive. The reason they are all lumped into IO is because they all involve FFI.

The thing is IO is generic. So IO (Db) and IO (Gui) are different things.

>>Non-Muslims sometimes don’t realize how much hatred and negativity gets thrown at Muslims and how utterly soul crushing it can be to have to defend yourself and your beliefs on a daily basis.
I found the "bargain with humanity" argument mentioned to justify eating pigs disturbing, since it was also used many times to rationalize human atrocities, too and many a situation that is disguised economic slavery, e.g. "Yes, their condition is bad but wouldn't they be worse off if we weren't doing this to them?".
Humans became human by eating meat. We aren't nearly as good as we think we are at creating fake replacement foods (see the number of people who have health problems clear up after going Paleo). Some day, we may be able to replace real animal protein, but we aren't there yet. In the meantime, I think we owe it to the animals and the environment to give the animals that will sacrifice their lives to propagate our own a happy existence. My goal for the past year has been to convert to sustainably raised, pastured meats exclusively. I'm not perfect, but I try. And I am grateful for the sacrifice these animals make.

On the specific topic of Cephalopods, I think our highest moral imperative is to ensure the survival and continued evolution of the species. If that requires farming some, fine, but we may find the intelligent life on earth in the next two million years belongs to them. Breaking that branch of, either trough ignorance or gluttony, is intolerable.
Why? I have no idea what the absolute least I need to demand for salary and survive. Why should I? Market rate for my skillset is $100k+ in my area of the country and that's what I calibrate against. If you offer me less than that I simply don't consider working for you.

So is asserting superiority on the basis of not eating meat.

Edit: I don't understand the downvotes for this. Nazism is not all about racial cleansing and gas chambers; it has a strong social darwinist component in general. The vegetarian/vegan group know they are better people for having made the decision to stop eating meat. There is no gray area: they are right and everyone else is wrong, as illustrated by the parent comment.

This reminds me of Javed Iqbal, an American satellite dish repairman who was thrown in jail for allowing Americans access (Hezbollah and supposedly Iran backed) Al-Manar television.

Actually the article from NPR, a station often described as liberal, doesn't seem all that incredulous over it happening when the shoe's on the other foot. Headline: "N.Y. Man Charged with Aiding Hezbollah TV Channel". First sentence: "This past week, the Department of Justice charged a New York City man for aiding a terrorist organization.". Geez, to the average American it starts making it sound like he did something wrong and kind of deserves to be in jail. I guess Iranians feel the same way with their guy.

I am a 13th generation Mainer with family in the lobster business, both in fishing and processing, and I have worked on the waters sailing on schooners on the Maine coast as a young lad.

Maine is a state that lives off the land, fishing and forestry are huge industries that provide thousands of jobs and sustain the state the other 10 months when tourism is dormant.

The lobster industry is the most sustainable fishery in the world, as others are going extinct the lobster fishery is thriving. We come from the land and we care for the animals and the environment.

Current technology used in processing lobster is orders of magnitude more humane than described in Consider the Lobster [0] and other food processing facilities pale in comparison (i'm looking at you whaling industry, fishing industry, livestock industry, etc.

We now have the technology to kill lobster instantaneously while simultaneously killing all bacteria and creating raw lobster meat that can be shipped globally.

Personally I like the intimacy of being close to killing the animals we eat, it's authentic, I think it gives acknowledgment to the animal's life at a level that is not even close to supermarket bought meats. What other animal do people kill in their own kitchen in SF or NYC? I think we need more of the intimacy with our food that lobster provides. The question is would you like to have animal butchering behind closed doors (because we know where that path leads) or do we want an intimacy with our food, our farmers and our fishermen?

This could presumably be handled similar to how patch does it. When you make an annotation, you store an approximate location and say a hundred words of context. When someone loads your annotation, even if they have a slightly different edition, you can look for almost-the-same text, searching outwards from an appropriate point.
This sounds similar to arguments that Nazism doesn't define the wholesale slaughter of jews. But if you take that philosophy to its logical conclusion, it's hard to see how you wouldn't end up there.

That systems of law based on thoughtcrime tend to get violent should not be a surprise to anyone.
There are many lines of argument to support meat consumption (all of which are easily refuted). Justifying it via a genetic hierarchy is one of the sickest.
These EHR systems - programs for managing patient information - are some of the absolute worst in terms of frustrating usability and difficulty. Think of how bad the very worst HR applications you've had to use and then go 10x worse than that.

My mother works as an ER nurse and she has to type the same duplicated information into multiple spots. Any single mistake in entry can result in loss of all information or in some cases can't be corrected.

Very often the system forced upon the nursing staff are worse and different than the systems used by doctors. That sounds moronic, but doctors have a bit more influence and can push back hard against horrible mandates from IT departments, while the nursing staff have no such advocates.

Naturally an IT department that has spent 10-20 million dollars on a contract for such and awful computer system isn't going to willingly admit that the system is awful, reduces patient care, and slows down how many patients the nursing staff can see to.

Dogs all around the world today live more often than not on small cramped apartment demarcations (or kennels), much like a baby's playpen even though--and as opposed to how owners tend to treat cute ones--dogs are not babies forever. They're pretty much kept "on notice" for whenever owners feel like playing with them, at the end of a hard working day. I tend to think that's pretty close to slavery, you could make a case for Stockholm's syndrome at the least, since owners normally end up preventing dogs from interacting with other dogs at will (!) or even castrate (!!) them. You know, smoke a joint, have kids--find some other stress reliever and bonding mate, and as a bonus you get not to feed a reckless breeding industry.

> We aren't nearly as good as we think we are at creating fake replacement foods (see the number of people who have health problems clear up after going Paleo).

That may be true for some people who don't pay much attention to their diet, but it's not true in the general case. See: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19562864
As Benjamin Franklin famously noted, even animals eat animals. The problem is quantity. Never in human history, even modern times, meat was served daily, in mass. For most people, it was an expensive food, affordable once or twice a week. And that before population increase we see. If people consumed meat once or twice a week, the diet, and for those who like it - taste, were OK, yet many many problems would be solved. Much more food, and less cruel industrialisation of animals to food.

Not agreeing with parent, but 'religion subscribed to' and 'insane' go hand in hand for me.

I have never encountered a religion that didn't require a lack of focused logic and a certain suspension of disbelief in order to be a follower.

Half of (some random religious group) followers say something like "Well, it's all symbolism, the stories are not meant to be taken factually but rather metaphorically", and the other half say "Well, it's a historical document and entirely true.".

I'm may be a bigot and jaded with bias, but if I learn that you put a lot of faith into a deity based hocus-pocus religion i'll likely end up putting less faith in your personal reasoning skills as a human.

Well, I wasn't limiting it to meme-friendly fragments such as "To be or not to be" from Hamlet. To go back to the premise mentioned by theswan, it was "good college-level literature course".

That means most of the text like Hamlet is discussed and annotated front to back. A literary guide such as Norton Critical edition of Hamlet will have annotations for every single line of the play. Hamlet is easy to digitize into RapGenius because it's 400 years old and public domain.[1],[2]

For a recent book still under copyright such as Twilight or Harry Potter, the rabid fans could conceivably want to discuss every page of the book. Therefore, a thousand fans "sharing annotations" leads to reconstructing the entire book. If the entire book isn't presented by the website to annotate, what exactly would they be annotating?

For literary and difficult books such as Ulysses by James Joyce, the entire book begs to be annotated. If a permissive license doesn't exist to present 100% of book for thousands of professors and students to share annotations, I'm not sure what the value is.

It strikes me as rather bizarre to oppose eating octopus because they are "too smart", but to continue to eat other animals because they "aren't smart enough". That's a really arbitrary line to draw.

An analogy I like to use is that there presumably could be aliens out there that would like to eat humans. You could imagine said aliens landing on Earth and trying to eat us, and even imagine some argument among themselves that humans aren't smart, and thus can be eaten - something that we'd all obviously find issue with.

Now obviously animals cannot think of or cannot communicate with us that they do not want to be eaten the same way we could with another species, but I believe part of the responsibility of having any kind of power (whether intellectual or otherwise), is to take the utmost care of those who are somehow weaker than you. To do otherwise is to take advantage (might makes right), and that notion is disturbing.

In those terms, I have a very hard time justifying raising, keeping, and killing (and in most cases causing incredible suffering) to animals purely for our pleasure, when it is both entirely possible and likely more efficient for us to not eat them.

Basically, the only reason we eat animals today is because we've always done things this way. I do not mean to be offensive, as putting it this way suggests that those eating animals are wrong or doing evil, but instead I just think it is one of the many little things that we as society and individuals do without much thought.
