The following debate originally took place upon the Facebook wall of an ex-acquaintance, after he shared a photo fromhere…
Thomas Pa.:
“This is not a chicken. This is not a tree. This is not a dress. This is not a person. This is not a difficult concept.”
Rayn: Since the first two eggs shown in this graphic are unfertilized, wouldn’t it be more consistent to show a picture of a bloody sanitary napkin in the last box, instead of a sperm latching onto an ovum?
Thomas Pa.: before everyone has had breakfast?
Rayn: Ha! 🙂 My sense of humor becomes even more crude than usual when I’ve stayed up all night. 🙂
When I first read your post through my phone, Jenny (which says, “shared a link on your timeline,” followed by your comment), I thought you were going to cite this as the reason you hate PepsiCo:
Of course, even if it is true that aborted HEK 293 (human embryonic kidney) cells were used in the research and development of the patented sugar enhancing ingredient that will soon be inside of Pepsi’s latest “diet soda” (due to hit the shelves this year), the original human cells used in the Senomyx company’s “technology” are subsequently cloned, then cultivated on a larger scale. This means that, either way, there are no actual aborted cells in their final product. Therefore, Pepsi drinkers can rest safe knowing that they will never actually be drinking aborted human fetal cells if they do decide to try the company’s new brand of soda. On the other hand, those that are politically (or even just personally) anti-abortion might want to start boycotting Pepsi right away, due to their collaboration with Senomyx – a company that has created multiple products derived from aborted fetal cells!
Jenny D.: No actual aborted fetus in the final product. Another reason not to drink Pepsi.
Rayn: “What the f*ck were they thinking!?” 🙂
Jenny D.: Drink Coke! It’s the real thing…
Rayn: Ha! Maybe in Mexico, it is! In the American-manufactured version of their product, however, Coke uses the cheap, sugar-replacement I like to call “high f*cktose corn-syrup” (unless it’s the yellow-capped Kosher version that is sold during Passover – in select neighborhoods, of course)! 🙂
I tend to disagree with the view that violence is on the decline, because state-sponsored violence is on the rise, and slavery is at an all-time HIGH. Don’t get me wrong, though: while I can support his notion of “the better angels of our nature,” I still find Steven Pinker’s conclusions about violence trends questionable. In summary, his evidence is circumstantial, there are large gaps in his data, and he vastly oversimplifies the social, political and technological dynamics at work throughout human history in order to reach his hypothesis.
The tiny corpses are then bought, stored in household refrigerators in homes of those involved in the trade before they are removed and taken to clinics where they are placed in medical drying microwaves.
Once the skin is tinder dry, it is pummelled into powder and then processed into capsules along with herbs to disguise the true ingredients from health investigators and customs officers.
My Commentary: Most have chosen the “head in sand” pose, dismissing these sorts of stories as “myth” without so much as a modicum of research. Few understand just how much the grisly, abominable “one child policy” of China’s government is responsible for this zero-value on human life policy, and black-market trafficking in aborted human fetal remains!
China-Made “Miracle Pills” Seized by South Korean Customs Officials Consist of 99.7% Powdered Flesh of Dead Human Babies

Rayn: These sorts of dangers lurk on the horizon, even as the cowards-that-be tell in the Western world tell us to watch out for “terrorists” so that they can strip us of our human rights, much like Communist China!!! And, those in power would LOVE for the world to adopt China’s death-system, pushing the idea again and again in order to “manufacture” public consent:
