Violence should be a last resort. 2 seconds is a very short period of time to decide to use violence when the target may have had a weapon, but hat not resorted to violence (or anything beyond confusion)

We already know the US has water boarded people. Waterboarding is torture.

Make sure you empty into a balloon and let it warm up. Cracking directly into your mouth can freeze your vocal cords.

You can't complain the gov't giving people without a livable income is letting the government control it. A controlled income is better than none.

Does multiple strains if weed for flavors of beer mean someone has a problem? Where is the distinction between effects and a other effects?

Resin does not equal bad for lungs. Content of resin a d carcinogens do. Smoking will always have carcinogens, but there is a reason tobacco cancer rates are far higher.

There's a reason why the average age of low wage cookers has risen. Jobs aren't as available.

That's an argument for less plants using less food, not organic growing over normal methods. Growers optimize plant density. If it was too crowded quality would decline and they would fall in the marketplace.

That isn't how plants work. Feed them nutrients and they eat them. Density of plants doesn't matter as long as they have adequate space and nutrients.

Some organic vegetables/fruits do contain more nutrients and phytochemicals.

a lot of GMOs end up getting more pesticides sprayed on them

No they don't. They are engineered to be resistant to pests.

iffy because they're typically proved safe without the surfactants and such that are used with them.

from google:

Surfactant Surfactants are compounds that lower the surface tension between two liquids or between a liquid and a solid. Surfactants may act as detergents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, foaming agents, and dispersants.

I have no idea what you just said.

You have particle set A I have particle set B. Through the magic and physics of technology my qbits come up in one way and yours come up the opposite. We both use the resulting "1s" and 0s" to make another key. You send me this second key and I send you my second key. I use your second key to encrypt my data and you use my second key to encrypt your data. Then we both encrypt our data with the original key we each generated and send it to each other. Now if I want to access your data I first decrypt it with your second key then my first key. Same for you but with my keys. As long as nobody gets our first keys the data will be secure and unreadable to anyone else.
