Those don't really do much, on the other hand Halls are much more effective than Ricola.

but everyone else is perfectly fine, and if they aren't, it has nothing to do with vaccines. either bad parents trying to blame their shortcomings on something else, or genetics
autism is bad. but if you're gonna tell me you'd live with the risk of your kid getting sick and dying just to avoid it then that's disgusting

I already said that researchers have found that it can be a cause of Autism, which means it does have to do with vaccines. It has nothing to do with bad parenting most of the time, and many of the time it has nothing to do with genetics. If I had a kid, then I wouldn't want the kid to live with the risk of my kid getting sick and dying to avoid the vaccination. If my kid would have to get one, I'd have no choice. I can tell you though, in years to come - science and medicine will advance and hopefully there will be a new, healthier equivelant to vaccinations.

I had all the vaccinations and I'm perfectly fine. those researchers are dumb
the worst effect is pain from a shot

say what you want about them, autism is still better than dying

It doesn't mean that everyone else is perfectly fine though. I don't think suffering is better than dying, they are both bad.

they don't have any negative effects

We don't know that. Researches believe that all these vaccinations could be causing the Autism epidemic.

this is also probably pretty popular on the internet but I think people should be required to be vaccinated regardless of "personal beliefs"
I don't understand why putting your child in danger is legal in the first place

It is the parents choice. I myself think it's ridiculous how in this country we are required to get over 20 vaccinations as a baby. Don't these phony people from those pharmaceutical companies think that they might have some negative effects?

Yes :D lol. U gotta admit taking care of that lil chao is fun !!

The drinking age is 21 where I live, so no worries there. It doesn't stop minors from getting alcohol though. I will be 21 this year so yay lol. Not that it really means much anyways xD

I also believe America should stop giving so much aide. We need to bring our troops home and defend our country, and stop giving money to people like we did in the past (Saddam, Khadafi, Osama, etc) because they only turn around and forget us in the end. Giving aide to a country that has experienced a large natural disaster is ok in my opinion, it's our duty as humans to help one another when a friend is in need.

I also do not believe in artificial hormones and pesticides on crops. There are more all natural way to raise an animal and plant a field and grow crops  without using man made chemicals and poisoning our food. I have a garden at my farm house and I never use chemicals on my vegetables or fruits, they produce just fine and taste great.

I'm glad to see that we agree on a couple of things. I noticed recently that whenever I have things which aren't GMO-free, pesticide-free, hormone-free, and antibiotic-free then I get a really bad headache. I was reading up on how years ago across America and Canada, everything was supposedly organic since we didn't know about these easier ways to grow food. All we used were regular fertilizers, and now companies make a huge profit off of growing things the traditional way and label it as "organic". It's such a scheme, but it's better than having artificially processed stuff with all of those harmful chemicals which also lead to early puberty in children.

Debatable. Not because its an "unpopular" opinion but because the focus can't just be the farmers because not all of them are in on the "hormones and antibiotics" deal. Most of it is caused by "health laws" or Companies that have a monopoly in the agricultural market. You have to think about the focus here.

Also not to mention that if you're a privatized farmer, "forcing" can be a large problem.

I know, it's not really realistic. I just think the government should be regulating it more.

really nobody drinks other than "health benefits" and wanting to get drunk? lol my dad just enjoys a beer while watching football. i dont see him trying to get drunk or using it to his benefit. i do remember him saying that he was too skinny and he needed to gain some weight a while ago, however

Red wine has been proven to be beneficial for the heart. One of my dad's friends had a mother who had over 30 operations throughout her life, and every day she lived since the age of 8 she would have a glass of red wine, and you know what? She lived until she was 102.

i'm conservative and i've never heard of kids drinking wine every shabbat but that sounds unhealthy
once a year might be reasonable
once a week maybe not

if you only celebrate every once in awhile then i guess it might make sense but the way you said it seemed to imply that you do it a lot

We only have wine on the Shabbat closest to Passover and Hanukkah. It's with very little to no alcoholic content. It's usually grape juice we have, or concord grape wine. Most families who are conservative who I've known have wine on every Shabbas. However, last year and the year before we've been only doing grape juice on Shabbas since me and my brother don't really like the taste of the wine, it's just ok.

1.) I believe that the drinking age should be raised to 21 (in most places it isn't)
2.) I believe that America should stop giving out aide to other 3rd world countries which hate us so much
3.) I also believe that all farmers should be forced to use no antibiotics and hormones on their animals

you then carried on to say something that would appear to defend his stance, and it's hard to tell sarcasm through text..

and caribou the forget is up with your parents the tradition is on passover not on shabbat lol

No, it's actually done on the Shabbas too. Are you reform I'm guessing? I am. We don't celebrate the Shabbas as much as we used to though. Only my dad is Jewish, so it's harder to keep up with the customs.

I don't think beer is necessarily a poor person drink, but I would assume that many generic brands of beer are lower-end than others.
