You should really ping someone when you are talking about them.

You're funny. When we challenge YOU to provide evidence, you throw out the newbie label. You have not provided anything to support your claim that growth hormone causes early puberty. I have provided several reference that indicate there is no study, no data, nothing. Just a bunch of talking heads expounding a hypothesis. So, the next logical question, how many times have you been a newbie here?

[GreenEggsHam]

I don't know how to ping someone or what that really means. I've seen people post "ping" a lot but I don't know what that means. Also trying to figure out how you do that answer/reply thing with the italics, so my posts don't come out so ugly with all the "+++++" symbols.

I didn't throw out the newbie label when you challenged me for evidence. I said I didn't have the evidence and told you what I remembered (we've been over this). I threw out the newbie label because I was being up front about the fact that I don't exactly know all the "rules" around here and have been getting comments that imply that I should justify myself to the board and get my "conservative" girl-scout badge before my views are considered valid or that maybe I don't belong here (and frankly speaking, I'm beginning to think maybe I don't! I could copy posts of mine that you might consider qualifies as being in line with *your* ideology, and I considered it before deciding 'WTF? I don't need to defend myself to this person!') Fact of the matter is I don't agree with YOU so you're trying to make an issue out of ME rather than simply stick to the issue at hand. I pulled a quote out of the same article you did that supports my claim. It's easy to dismiss any study as "talking heads expounding a hypothesis". I could easily dismiss the links you posted as the same. Yesterday is the first time I have posted to Free Republic. And it certainly has been an experience. You people need to chill, imho!

[WIMom]

Actually, if it is your second day, you need to chill. Sheesh, get a grip. I proved my point, there is NO study that proves your point.

And from your own source: Consumer Concerns About Hormones in Food

However, exposure to higher than natural levels of steroid hormones through hormone-treated meat or poultry has never been documented. Large epidemiological studies have not been done to see whether or not early puberty in developing girls is associated with having eaten growth hormone-treated foods.

[GreenEggsHam]

Thought I'd share some of the FreeRepublic guidelines since I've just read them. Perhaps a brushup is in order:

Do keep it clean - A bruise or two between Freepers is tolerable, but refrain from abusive attacks, engaging in senseless flame wars...it's hard to be a family site, but that's what we aim for when at all possible.

Do "take it to the Alley" - The Alley is a public chat room. A link to it is provided on the latest posts page. Invite people there if you want to talk things over or settle a score, so to speak, off site.

Don't jump threads - If you get involved in an argument in one thread, it's considered poor manners to restart the previous argument in the middle of an unrelated thread.

[GreenEggsHam]

So, if you don't mind sharing, since it didn't mention it in the guidelines, what's a "ping"? And how do you quote someone in italics so their text is differentiated from your reply?

[WIMom]

hahahahahahaha! You crack me up. This is bad? bwahahahahahahahahahaha! hahahaha! Thanks, best laugh I had all day. I'm done with you. goodbye.

A ping is like a phone call to another poster. It draws the attention of another poster to the thread. To change the lettering style, you need to know html. You can get a book on html at the bookstore.

Death Penalty for all child pornographers.

Sounds good to me. Child molestation is a form of murder.

[Frapster]

Legislating penalties for murder hasn't stopped murders from occuring. Should be eliminate those from the books?

Bump for later

So, the next logical question, how many times have you been a newbie here?

Heee, he, he...watch him (her? likely "him") flame out spectacurally.

BTW, Love your posts, and good job with your squewering analysys!

[WIMom]

Heh, thanks. I'm a geek by birth and education. I want facts and data, not touchy feely stuff. (I should have been born a guy, but God thought 4 boys in a family of 5 kids was enough)

[GreenEggsHam]

Thanks MonroeDNA!

Oh come on, a little rigor before we descend into pure emotion: Murder and child pornography severly affect the victims. Making child pornography is tantamount to child rape.

Making virtual child pronogrphy is like making a picture of rape. As ugly as it is, should that be illegal?
