Glad to see some animal rights coverage today. I tend to agree with Cenk about the lions. The zoo is probably right that the cubs would be killed by another adult male, but what’s the harm in trying if they are DEFINITELY going to be killed otherwise? This Copenhagen zoo seems pretty questionable.
ok Mr. Pink, if you do not want to tip. stay your ass a home and cook and serve you selves!!!!!!!!! unbelievable you guys, never thought i disagree with you anything, obnoxious
You really should do a more in depth story on One Taste. This place is a cult. A friend of mine dated a young woman (early 20s) who was an adherent and he had many crazy stories. She was eventually basically forced to move to San Diego form the Bay Area to help grow the organization. The men and women don’t always get to choose their partners. It all seemed funny at first to me but she lived a very sad existence.
***I’m not affiliated with One Taste at all, but I’ve been doing the practice for nearly a year now and have met numerous people from there.**
Whoaaa….hold on there…
Firstly, yes, that probably did happen. Why? That’s what employees do. From my experience, the woman you’re referring to had (or still does have) a staffing job with One Taste. They’re routinely asked to move to other areas/states and build out communities and awareness for this practice. That HARDLY makes for a cult-like or crazy story.
Second, the men and women ALWAYS get to choose partners. Right from the get-go, everyone is reminded (and many times after) that it is perfectly acceptable to say ‘no’ to someone, and everyone knows that there is zero explanation needed. I have no idea what you’re talking about with not being able to choose a partner, and have never seen that come up.
Third, there’s a decent amount of emerging science coming out of Rutgers with MRI brain scans during the practice, etc. It’s healthy effects are becoming more verified.
Other than that…
-Believe it or not, the practice is pretty mind blowing and has made a huge impact on my life, in very positive ways. I’d recommend trying it out.
-I’ve RARELY had an OM go beyond just the stroking into actual…anything. I have no physical attraction to almost every woman I’ve OM’d with to date. There’s 0 expectation about what to do afterward, and everything is very bluntly and appropriately communicated. It’s not at all the big deal you’re making it out to be.
BTW Cenk, I totally feel you on the noticing thing. I still don’t like it, haha.
Zoos come in many varieties. Some are accredited for facilities and conservation efforts. One thing you didn’t discuss is the role zoos play in introducing animals to humans in a way that makes people even care about them in the first place. If you were to ask the majority of people working in animal care how they became an animal lover it’s because of some kind of early experience with the animals in a controlled environment in a zoo or aquarium. Conservation is funded through these kinds of interactions. Otherwise it would be out of sight, out of mind, and most people would not give a shit about giraffes, or what have you. That doesn’t excuse obviously bad treatment, or BAD zoos that lack proper caretakers and facilities. But zoos as a whole do much more good for the animal world as a whole than harm.
That clitoris stuff was really funny, especially Cenk’s imitation of a woman having an orgasm.
I eat the HELL out of noodles and company. Every time i go there at lunch there is a LINE there. I’ve been to 3 of them in my state and they are always PACKED. They are busier than goddamn mcdonalds. This is such a ridiculously good business strategy.
