Coke Addiction

[alien pimp]

hypocrite is someone says things he doesn't believe in, sort of a liar. who said coke is bad while actually thinking it's good?

I love how you redefine concepts to suit your argument, AP; you'd make a great politician if you could work out what you believed in.

The hypocrisy is obvious. People who are perfectly happy to introduce substances that are scientifically known to be harmful in certain ways (smoking tobacco/weed, taking alcohol, ecstasy etc) criticising others for consuming a drink that is thought to be a little bit bad for you.

It's all about perspective. If you cared about health rather than just winning a kids-at-college argument about Coca Cola being an evil corporation maaan then you'd make far more changes than just giving up a soft drink. All you care about is people thinking that you're better informed than them.

Which you're not. You just believe more things that you read.

yeah, maybe i'm what you said, who cares about me and why people who can't fight an argument start fighting a person? (rhetorical question, unlike the rest)
how i redefined terms?
who criticized who?
who established coke is "a little bit bad" and the rest "harmful" and on what grounds?
when ever i gave a fuck about what people think of me personally (except as an artist) and what's my relevance in this discussion?
how informed are you about me personally and the changes i'm making?

Yes, the foreign policy of Coke PLC is dubious to say the least.

A much more logical reason to boycott.

Ford Motor Company used to have torture chambers for unionists in South America too.

Big business in South America has a history of being incredibly fucked up.... the results of experiments with hardcore free market on that continent are some of the best evidence for big government and strong unions you could find.

i thought they do kill worldwide, and not only them
finally saw "capitalism, a love story" where it shows how big companies collect huge insurances for dead employees
i'm just surprised that's easier to accept for some than the fact that coke is addictive and semi-poisonous

Honestly? I mean the addictive part is pretty tenuous, especially if you're singling out Coke (or cola) from other common drinks - caffeine is addictive, sugar is addictive... in fact, most things that have some sort of effect on your brain/metabolism are addictive in some way.... what is it that makes Coke specifically worse than other drinks in your opinion? Why does coffee escape your ire? I know people that won't even talk to colleagues at work until they've had a cup in the morning.... maybe I hang around with the wrong people, but I don't know anyone that's like that with Coke.

However, there is fairly reliable evidence and academic backing for a lot of the issues relating to extreme capitalism in South America. It's documented, accepted fact and bestselling books have been written on it (Shock Doctine, Naomi Klein for one). Of course people find that easier to accept that a few photos of a bit of meat in cola.

[DRTY]

I think sugar is addictive, therefore I guess coke is to a degree. Coke know this. Coke will do this. Coke will make money from this. Fair play.

That fluoride is bad.
Only things I read about fluoride being bad were just rumours, no real scientific research.

Figured, but it's a shame you emplore others to read/watch your links but don't do the same to those conversing with you.

It's from one of the best films ever. You'd like Dr Strangelove a LOT.

I know areas of the UK put flouride in the water, it was covered in an awful lot of depth when I was growing up and public support reduced the amount of local authorities adding flouride a great deal. The only bad effects I ever noticed was a friend who had an excess - leads to children getting very slightly lumpy teeth (looks a bit like plaque, but it's tooth)... it can be sorted with cosmetic dentistry once the teeth are fully grown. I don't know her anymore, but I doubt it's put her in therapy or anything.

I figure it's not particularly necessary - people should be able to get enough flouride (plus it's contained in most toothpastes), but it's a democratic issue in this country... not some conspiracy or anything.
