i agree to most of it im from Massachusetts and granted there are people who cant drive in any weather but i think personally i fair very well driving in the snow im just not going to drive like 100 mph lmao.

I think the worst drivers are people with 4WD because they drive so fast thinking they will be ok

Gaian since 2010

✿~Objection! Not all drivers are like that! But in all seriousness, driving in snow is indeed a pain (I know from second-hand experience), but imagine driving on Texas roads. Horns a-honking everywhere you look, and Texas barely gets snow. Last year, they got less than an inch of the stuff, and the whole city shut down. In Ohio, snow is not that big a deal.~✿

We have snow from Sept to May and people still always 'forget' how to drive. And the cockier a person is the worse they drive, because they think they're above the laws of snow and nature in getting stuck. And every driver freaks out when they get in an accident.

No one can drive in snow

I'm from Minnesota. No one can drive in snow, no matter how long you've driven through it. Every year people add another year of practice, yet every year they drive too fast and go into the ditch or each other. People can't drive.

People can totally drive in the snow! I'm not one of them, but they must surely exist- I mean... what about Santa? Clearly people need to stop "practicing" and go take Santa lessons!

Santa flies and is very special.

Should people be required to take showers daily?


YES because some people smell disgusting and dont bathe for like 2+ days. no one wants to smell
their swamp a** that has infiltrated the air or look at their greasy hair

OK well i read some where that if you shower daily your basically scrubbing off extra skin cells and that could get you sick, i'm not trying to stay stinky i'm trying to not get sick, if your skin cell's get dirty thats the time to shower or if you smell, end of story. gaia_kittenstar also hobo's don't shower the most, so i wouldn't be surprised.. also not everybody has a shower so leave them alone! stressed

Should animal testing be legal or illegal?

Is it beneficial to humanity or just downright cruel and an old method?

You decide!

Even though it's not right to do to the animal. The lives saved by anti-viruses and the medicines, surely the benefits outway the cost?

Is Breakfast Cereal a Soup?

NO. Cereal is cereal. Soup: "a liquid food made by boiling or simmering meat, fish, or vegetables with various added ingredients." -Dictionary.com. Cereal does not have meat, fish, or vegetables. There are very few soups that are served cold. Do you eat your Rice Krispies in chicken broth? Do you put your beef and vegetables in milk? No. And if you do, you are weird. Saying that cereal is a soup is like calling a hotdog a sandwich. (Don't make me create that debate topic.)

See "full definition" section, for reference.

While I appreciate that for many, the whole point of soup is comfort food, and that the "comfort zone" is full of familiarity, the soup category absolutely ought to include cereal!

Let's break it down for both hot and cold varieties of cereal...

Definition 1: a liquid food especially with a meat, fish, or vegetable stock as a base and often containing pieces of solid food

hot cereal? ok, so plain old porridge (e.g. cream of wheat) is kind of a toss-up here, but if you just dump in the wheat and don't stir, it could definitely be in the running!

cold cereal? actually, cold cereal fits this even better. just swap the idea of stock for a fat-free roux, and you've got cream of wheaties! (soothing blandness - YES!)

IT GETS BETTER, THOUGH!

Definition 2: something (as a heavy fog or nitroglycerine) having or suggesting the consistency or nutrient qualities of soup

hot cereal? In my family, soupy stews are totally a thing and oatmeal is no exception! Cook the oats slightly less time than recommended, throw in salt/sugar/fruit to taste... BAM. Breakfast soup!
cold cereal? The enriched flour in many commercial cereals today makes their nutritional value fall somewhere between 3 minute ramen from the microwave, and soup from scratch... but unless you're a trained mycologist, cream of wheaties might be a better idea than cream of mushroom.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

Definition 3: an unfortunate predicament <that stunt landed her in the soup>

hot cereal? cook a little longer than intended, then grab without potholders.
cold cereal? skip the milk, and cook it in the microwave.


CONCLUSION: Anything can be soup. Especially if you refuse to limit yourself and expect it to be edible, tangible, and/or desirable.

THIS ARGUMENT IS PERFECTION!

No, they shouldn't. Firstly, because you are now completely ignoring the wonderfulness that are baths. Muscle relaxation is important, yo. And taking a shower aaaand a bath (as is implied would be necessary since the argument is showering, not cleaning oneself in general) is way too much wasted water. And unnecessary besides.
Secondly, not everyone's hair gets that greasy that fast??? Like, I get it. If my sister doesn't shower daily, it's beyond greasy. But my hair runs dry, and if anything, I'm layering conditioner on it to keep it happy.

I see what you did there. xD
I don't understand the correlation between the type of sauce and pineapple?
I like pineapple on my pizza because I like pineapple and cheese together. And because I don't like most meat toppings, so it's nice to have something other than plain cheese once in a while.
