What's Your IQ?
 
In my capacity as official spokesman for the shortwave newsgroup it is
incumbent upon me to be concerned with the health and welfare of the
shortwave family. Ergo, I post the following for your recreation and
relaxation. If it relieves the stress of your daily grind for but a
few moments I have done my job. God bless each of you.

What's my IQ?

More than your's, obviously.

much better.

It is you Mr. dead flesh eater who is consuming the fecal matter.
What's so hilarious about it is that you are too stupid to even know
it! ROFL!!! See below for the real poop you dope.
http://www.goveg.com/feat/meatfeces.html

Meat and Feces: Here’s the Poop!

In light of America’s two biggest meat recalls occurring in just
the last three months, PETA is encouraging grocery stores to bundle
raw meat with toilet paper to remind consumers for their own health
that every time they eat meat, they are eating feces. Some 19 million
pounds of E. coli-contaminated ground cow flesh was recalled in July
2002, and 27 million pounds of prepared turkey and chicken flesh was
recalled in October because of listeria contamination. That’s
enough bad meat to make a fecal sandwich for every American!

Most of the 10 billion cows, pigs, and birds butchered every year in
this country are contaminated with E. coli bacteria (not necessarily
the 0157 variety), which comes from feces. A 1995 study by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA) found that more than 99 percent of
broiler chicken carcasses had detectable levels of E. coli. The March
1998 Consumer Reports—great bathroom reading material for
meat-eaters—also reported that “some generic E. coli is
present on virtually every chicken on the market …”

Listeria bacteria are found in animal feces and other animal sources.
They’re killed by cooking, but here’s the problem: Nobody
cooks deli meats, like the 27-million pounds of recalled flesh
produced by Pilgrim’s Pride. The consequence: Deli meats kill
people. Listeria attacks everyone, especially old people and pregnant
women, causing severe infections, meningitis and death. The USDA is
investigating at least 23 deaths, several miscarriages and 120
illnesses linked to listeria in the U.S. northeast this year, and the
USDA now admits—too late— that many cases are linked to
the Pilgrim’s Pride meats. Meanwhile, thousands more Americans
suffer listeria attacks every year. But, unbelievably, the USDA
doesn’t require makers of prepared animal flesh to test for the
bacteria.

Selling toilet paper and meat together would not only save shoppers
time, it may save their lives. According to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), foodborne illnesses cause approximately
76 million cases of gastrointestinal illness, 325,000
hospitalizations, and 5,000 deaths per year in the United States. Guy
Plunkett, a scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where E.
coli’s genetic code was mapped, said that as few as 10 to 100 E.
coli bacteria are sufficient to infect a human.

Foodborne illnesses often lead to severe diarrhea, vomiting, and
cramping—and long lines at public restrooms. The CDC believes
that many people who think they have the flu may actually have food
poisoning from eating contaminated animal flesh. The March 1998
Consumer Reports indicated that fewer than 5 percent of food-poisoning
cases are recognized and reported.

E. coli and listeria aren’t the only bacteria bugging
meat-lovers. Campylobacter is responsible for up to 7 million
foodborne infections and 1,000 deaths each year. Salmonella sickens up
to 4 million people and kills up to 2,000. The USDA has identified
ground turkey as the most contaminated poultry product, with average
salmonella levels of 49.9 percent. Chicken is also likely to contain
campylobacter or salmonella, as well as listeria and leukosis
(cancer). The crowded, filthy conditions on hog farms foster diseases
such as dysentery, cholera, trichinosis, and toxoplasmosis, which are
commonly found in pig flesh.

There is simply no such thing as “safe” meat. In addition
to foodborne contaminants, animal products contribute to heart
attacks, strokes, high cholesterol levels, obesity, high blood
pressure, and a slew of other health problems. So, if you want to
spend your time on the beach instead of in the bathroom—or the
hospital—throw animal products in the garbage and go vegetarian.

Vegetarians are cute, though maybe a little sickly.

When my sis was going through her Vegan "phase,"
she told me she was taking all kinds of supplements.

You should have seen her face when I told her that
many of those supplements are made from yummy,
tasty meat.

She now happily eats steak, bacon, and so forth.

BTW, if you have drywall in your home....it's strengthened
with animal parts....as is the steel in your car....and the candles
folks love at the local megasuperstore....have animal bits.

Hey, we're wearin' 'em and consumin' 'em....why not have
the joy of eatin' 'em?

Feces in meat? Pshaw, it'll wash off.

Begging your pardon, Melvin, but how does publishing an "IQ test" without a
key to score it by constitute progressive discourse? Rather seems a bit
regressive to me. But then IQ is a funny critter that's over-rated anyway,
at least in the common mythology.

For example, animals like porpoises, pigs, horses, monkeys, dogs, et al,
have measurable IQ's, that are, granted, lower than that of "normal"
(another funny concept) human beings. However, these high IQ beings known as
humans are actively destroying the planet on which we live whereas the other
animals are not. So much for IQ...

Now EQ is something a bit more useful but I'm not aware of an inventory that
assesses it. I'd be curious to know if there is such a yardstick. 73 and
good DX.

Point well taken Paul. I agree with your take on IQ, it's VERY
over-rated, more an ego thing than anything. I saw a study done about
members of Mensa and it was interesting how few of them had any
significant accomplishments in their lives and careers.
And yes animals are superior to humans in so many ways, one of the
many reasons I'm a vegatarian. You don't have to worry about animals
robbing, raping, murdering, lying, cheating, either. Or any number of
other charming traits we "superior" humans possess. They are God's
gift to the world and even the Holy Bible tells us that not one
sparrow dies without God taking note of it (Luke 12:6).
EQ? Hmm...Yes I think that would be easier to quantify accurately
than the proverbial, and vague, IQ. The amateur radio test required to
receive a license serves as a measuring stick to some degree by
covering a bit of electronics. One's ability to trouble shoot, read
schematics, soldering, etc. could also be factored into the mix to
determine one's EQ. Knowledge about ropagation, radio receivers,
antennas, etc. also could be used. There are lot's of ways to weed out
the pretenders. Thanks for the post Paul and all the best to you.

Sure, sorry about that. Where IQ stands for "Intelligence Quotient", EQ
stands for "Emotional Quotient". Punch EQ into Google and you'll come up
with myriad hits. It's an interesting topic. And there are other Quotients
besides these two but the names escape me now. 73!
