According to a study Red Bull (energy drinks) doesn’t give you wings it gives you balls. I must have missed this train, when the hell did drinking energy drinks start making everybody all manly. I had an energy drink once and it made me so jittery it look like I was pop locking everywhere I went. I don’t get it, I grew up with a dad that worked all the time and being tired was a sign that you did a hard day of work. I’ve even worked hard a little in my day (I know I cant believe it either) and it feels good to get home after a hard day of work, what the hell is all the energy for. Maybe the Mormons are right (theres something I never thought I would say) when you grow that dependent on a substance you can consider it a drug. So, when does drug use make you a man?
I know I’m going to sound like an old bastard with this but there is this image of a man that is being portrayed nowadays. When I was a kid it was the cigarette smoking cowboy and now it’s the axe smelling energy drinker. My first question is where did the cowboy go, at least they make good movies. But I understand it’s the same thing just with a different product. I blame MMA for this one, all mma fighters look like they smell like Axe body spray and stripper glitter. They may be sponsored by energy drinks but do you actually think when they’re training they actually drink that garbage, of course not. What is it about consuming concentrated amounts of caffeine and god knows what else that makes you a man.
Also according to the study, men that align themselves with other “manly” things are less likely to drink energy drinks, isn’t that weird. Are your balls so small that you have to hug the leg of a giant caffeine daddy just so you can feel like a man. Men that described themselves as “Jocks” or were members of fraternities were less likely to drink as many energy drinks. If somebody can help me figure this out because I don’t get it, we all self medicate but energy drinks help make you feel like a man because it comes in a cool can and is related to being cool, give me a break.
If you’re tired drink it, if you like the taste drink it, if you’re thirsty drink it but if you walk around with your chest puffed a little more (to be fair that might also be the super fast beating heart) because of an energy drink, put it down and reevaluate your life.
If your drinking Red Bull to be more manly remember Red Bull gives you wings!!!! (just not the kind you fly with)
Fox news reports (so you know it’s the “truth”) that a new study shows that weed use causes a drop in IQ over time. If this is true this explains so many things about the people that I have known in my life but there is a fundamental flaw in this research. If this research is taken from the numbers from the test that are taken over time then that is going to be the flaw in this research. You cant expect a pot head to take a test and do well.
Have you ever met a pot head in real life, even the smart ones don’t look like the kind of people that feel like taking a test, especially to disprove the usefulness of Marijuana. Lets break down what a pot does to a person before we breakdown what these studies are showing. First of all this story is being put out by the Propaganda machine known as Fox News. Pot makes you lots of things like hungry, lazy, and all around paranoid. But one of the things pot also does it that it makes you examine the mundane that the rest of us take for granted. A pot head will spend hours contemplating why the number 9 is just the 6 doing a handstand. But one of the other things that it makes you contemplate is the usefulness of a study on something that should be legal when all the other legal drugs in our country are so much worse. How many pot related drunk driving accidents are there in a year or how many pot related lung cancer deaths? This entire argument is just arguing the same things over and over.
There is a joke, I think it’s a Bill Hicks joke, that talks about how pot doesn’t make you unmotivated because you have the same amount of motivation but pot just helps you realize it isn’t worth the effort. This is very true, so if you ask me the reason the IQ scores for these people go down is because they have seen beyond the IQ score only to realize that this study is just to prove what the people funding the research want proven to keep weed illegal. So who cares? Just the people in charge.
Maybe weed is bad for you but so is Alcohol, tobacco, guns, hamburgers, candy, soda, potato chips, sunlight, all types of medication, cars, tv, video games, movies, porn, tattoos, rock and roll, piercings, laziness, and almost anything else you might enjoy, so just enjoy!
A Study was release in the journal Nature where the research was based on 78 Icelandic families with children that either had schizophrenia or autism. They have found that the age of the father is most responsible for the abnormalities in the genetic code. These combined families had 44 children with autism and 21 that were schizophrenic. This study seems strangely suspicious to me.
To blame autism on age is way too easy. There have always been old guys have kids with younger women, especially before it became illegal. So what, the median age of fathers has risen and now that’s the cause in the sudden surge of autism in recent years. This seems like a cop out to me. The study found that there is the same chance of autism in a 30 year old father as there is in a 40 year old father. If it truly is age there would be a difference in chances the older you get, right?
On the other hand age may have a role to play but I think its in a much different way than expected. I just want to say that no one has all the answers but I think these people are not looking at the real factors based solely out of self interest from their investors. In my opinion age may have something to do with a risk factor but not in a genetic error way they way these scientists are purposing. I think age may have a lot to do with it but its because of all the garbage that is shoveled into our bodies through bad choices and factors that we are completely unaware of. The tiny amounts of deadly ingredients in processed food to the crap that goes into a plastic cup that you drink out of. There are factors all around us that only seem to grow in number but studies do not bring in the accumulation of all the factors, they will usually only isolate one factor to prove that it has nothing to do with that 1 product.
There is a type of Autism where the child seems fine until about the age of 2 then they just seem to regress. I don’t buy it. When a seemingly healthy child suddenly contracts a disease that is supposed to be genetic during a very sensitive age still sounds like crap to me. It seems like these kids bodies just cant handle the barrage of chemicals thrown at them from every direction. I know of a case where the autistic childs mother just happens to be a meth addict and the type of autism this child has was the regressive kind, coincidence I don’t think so.
You claim that the median age is rising and that is to blame for the rise in autism. I say garbage that we interact with on a daily basis is growing right along with autism but I challenge you to find a study on that. But hey what do I know…..nothing.
