Are Vegetarians Losing Their Minds?

According to a recent study at Oxford University where memory tests, physical checks, and brain scans were performed on a variety of people over a five year period, vegetarians and vegans were found to be six times more likely to suffer from brain shrinkage than meat eaters. Scientists think it might be related to a deficiency of vitamin B12 which is found in meat, fish, and eggs. Read more about it at couriermail.au.

Boy, would THAT explain a lot about modern politics, vegetarians and vegans being overrepresented on the left and underrepresented on the right.
Eating lots of red meat may well shorten your life, but at least it doesn't make you think that a clueless amateur with delusions of grandeur is ready to be President of the United States.

Totally right Fred. Now explain George W. Bush.
How about you leave the fatuous political leanings to someone that understands the basic role of logic in any argument? Say, a three year old.

If I had a three-your-old handy, I WOULD prefer to argue with him instead of you, Steve, because there's a good chance that, unlike you, he "understands the basic role of logic in any argument", as your logic free rant above proves.
Now, as for George W. Bush, he received an MBA from Harvard, not known as a friendly school for Republicans even back then. So what does that tell you? Well, nothing, because you are an idiot, Steve, but to anyone with at least a room temperature IQ, it would suggest that George W. Bush, like Ronald Reagan before him, like Dwight Eisenhower before him, is just not quite as dumb as all those Democrats he outsmarted insist on thinking, excuse me, insist on "feeling" he is.

To the person who removed my response to Steve: if you are going to police comments like that, shouldn't you at least PRETEND to objectivity by removing his logic free rant as well?

My apologies. My comment disappeared then reappeared. Something strange about Omnivoracious comments posting I've noticed.

Thank you for making my point for me Fred. Nicely done. Spell check gets most mistakes but not all. I also think you misunderstand what the word "rant" means as that particular word and its meaning are more applicable to your postings rather than my own. I look forward, eagerly, to your erudite response sir!

Thank you for making my point for me Steve. Nicely done. As I pointed out above (and apparently well above your head as well), when the people you keep assuming are dumb (Bush, Reagan, Eisenhower, etc.) keep outsmarting the people you think are smart, it may be time to check out the definitions for smart and dumb again,...
assuming that you can ever figure out that secret code for finding words in a dictionary, that is.

Duh... if you believe that... I feel sorry for you and those who have to put up with you!
