2. He's done more research than you ever have in your life(learning from someone else is not research)
3. You are a cunt because you've made presumption about this guy because of his: dress sense, accent/speech and looks.

he dun make sense. he was so healthy that he was unhealthy but then says a social network is vital to being healthy, therefore he was not healthy if he neglected his friends.
Hey, I’ve pre-ordered A.J.’s new book after reading his “The Guinea Pig Diaries”. That book was laugh-out-loud funny and packed with insights from his immersion journalism. It’s sort of like: what if you or I lived according to a completely different belief system than what’s baked into our DNA and prior life experiences, and how would that impact us and the people in our lives. The new book’s “Drop Dead Healthy” title alone is enough to tell me it’s going to be a wild, hilarious ride!
@mrmishonka Nope, TED is not exclusive to America. The main TED conference is held here in the U.S. but there are a huge number of independently organized TED conferences all over the world (They're usually titled "TEDx(whatever city it's in).
What's funny is the Walking Helmet idea actually does make sense. Also wearing one while driving makes sense. I've never once hit my head in over 20 years of skateboarding and cycling, but have many times at least bumped it hard while walking around or in my car. I've also seen pedestrians faint, trip, etc and hit their heads so hard they could have suffered brain damage or died... It'll never happen because of image and comfort reasons though :P

The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate because it, unlike the word "gay", actually describes the behavior/attraction/relationship being discussed.

I'm glad the speaker tackled the really radical and unknown issues because we know next to nothing about nutrition and exercise. Come on TED talks! What next, "How I survived a year on toenails"? We've got abusive and dysfunctional families, corrupt governments, schools, agencies and religions, the promotion and celebration of war and violence, economic disaster, the younger generation silenced with drugs, utter confusion between fact and myth, and you give us this safe, wet, trivial shite.

If your conclusion is that you were so healthy you were unhealthy, then you've failed somewhere along the line. Certainly, you've failed to define healthy correctly.
@zipper978 Well I think I did get the point, and I wasn't trying to be too critical of the speaker, because I think he presents an important topic well. I think the point though is, like I said, society often defines healthy incorrectly. Health must be holistic (a term that also gets misused) - if something you're doing is severely detracting from the quality of your life, then it's highly suspect that it can be called healthy.

This video causes such an unsatisfactory because the unconventional wisdom being presented in the project itself. In my opinion, most people are just too adopted to what their everyday lives. So when ideas, especially those that are out of ordinaries are introduced, people become obnoxiously closed-minded. To me, that is being ignorant. It is like someone's first encountering to acknowledge about homosexuality, or abortions. Sigh.

@RoyalColaNews On the contrary, religion plays a great role in a persons health. A religious person is extremely unhealthy. It makes them irrational and separates them from people of other beliefs.
@mohamedgna Evolution contradicts your Bible stories. Your Bible doesn't explain how Adam & Eve just popped into existence. Why doesn't "God" intervene about 150,000 years ago when homo-sapiens evolved? How do you explain "Gods" creation of the universe in 6 days? Why doesn't your Bible mention any dinosaurs if it's divinely inspired? Why doesn't it mention other planets or galaxies? If you think a little it will make sense to you that primitive men with little knowledge wrote it..
Healthy living is all about balance, not about putting sunscreen every 4 hours. Sounds like dermatologists are in bed with sunscreen companies, that's all.
@RoyalColaNews Being a religious person enhances your lifespan, according to some studies. Must have to do with some psychological effect, I guess (Don't know for sure, I'm not very religious).
@RoyalColaNews Check the news. People blowing themselves up, raping people, maiming, etc, etc..... it's all in the name of religion. In fact, consider how many people have died by the name of religion since the record of history. Millions.
@asdfgoogle So you're saying That non-religious people don't commit atrocities? (and assuming that it is true,) Consider how many people have gone to hell without religion since the record of history.
Your points as well as mine are irrelevant to good health, so maybe we shouldn't jump to conclusions.
@klingon13524 What I'm saying is that religion has, and largely still is the reason people are killed. They die in the name of religion. Without religion, those people wouldn't die. Needless deaths.
But then at the same time, the whole world would be different, so no point going there. Main point, religious people largely kill because their religion says to kill. Non-believers have no such "law".
@asdfgoogle No, religion does not say to kill. Nowhere in the Bible does it say to kill who is not Christian, but yet the Crusades happened. It's people, not religion.
@theOman333 If it's the actions of people, not religion, then religion should be left in private as to not get sucked into the hatred of mankind.
Clearly you support this, because those people did what they did in the name of their religion. If you are in support of the same religion, then you are in league with them. If you make religion a private matter, then it's impossible to connect you with them and the rest of the corrupted politicians.... I mean religious leaders... oops
@asdfgoogle your argument shows a fundamental misunderstanding of human nature. Religion did not cause Hitler Mao or Stalin to kill their own people when they opposed them, more than religion men and women kill for power and money, prestige and status. Some of the least violent people on the face of this planet are religious, look at the Jains in India and the Buddhists of Tibet. Religion is what we make of it, and it merely reflects ourselves. Like us it is multifaceted and complex.
@LeGioNoFZioN I never said that religion was behind Hitler and Stalin. I specifically didn't say that because it isn't true.
Regardless, you missed my point. My point is that many religions, now or in the past, supported the targeted slaughter of people. An excuse to commit heinous crimes based on outlandish morals and disregard for logic and trial.
Religion isn't always bad, of course. In this age though, religion isn't needed due to the implementation of basic morals in society
@DrJackJeckyl - No. Religion isn't always bad. To make such a broad statement is beyond narrow minded. Paradox. If religion gives someone comfort and gives them a sense of morality and ethics, teaches them to treat others with kindness and compassion - how is that always bad?
My mother is very religious and you can't find a sweeter more generous, more accepting person. Not everyone who is religious is a zealot or fanatic.
@RocktheStageNYC Let me guess, your dear old Moms is a member of the very same organisation that tied women to wood piles and set them ablaze... simply for having a cat? The same organisation that has bought indigenous populations around the world to the brink of extinction, spreading the good word? The same organisation who is called out on countless charges of child abuse and molestation? The same organisation that has kept this world in a perpetual state of war and hatred since its inception?
@DrJackJeckyl - who said my mother was Catholic? She could be Jewish, Lutheran, Episcopalian, Mormon, Hindi, Buddhist - I said religious. Again your narrow mindedness forces you to make broad statements without merit. Since you're railing against catholics, why don't you list all the good things the Catholic Church has done over the years for the poor, the destitute, the homeless.
When Catholics starts chopping off heads / bombing kids on their way to school I'll worry about them.
To sum up. The church is immoral because the bible is immoral. Islam is immoral because the Koran is immoral.
Religion in mass numbers causes otherwise good people to do the must horrific things while fully believing to their very core that they are doing gods will.
Whats more is the claims of religion are NOT TRUE. Everything we know about science history & morality destroy the claims in these books. There is no reason not to speak out..
@RedlineMMA your claim of the bible and/or the koran are immoral need proof. you having some pre-set ideas need full explanation before having such claims.. also, you cannot base a claim on one book (whether the bible or the koran) on another book.. the claims of science being contradictory of claims of the koran are actually inaccurate. look up scientific miracles of the koran and you can look for such claims. it is actually the opposite.
Fail.....The immorality & barbaric teachings of the koran & bible are all there in black & white for all to see.
claiming the koran is scientific is DELUSIONAL. Example......the Koran says that saltwater & freshwater do NOT mix. Its "scientific" explanation about how the world & life formed is also myth..... not science.
@RedlineMMA The only trouble with this viewpoint is that it is only reasoned in part. The truth is that all human beings, religious, non-religious, strictly scientific, or whatever the foundation of approach might be....human beings all commit terrible acts, thinking we are correct in our convictions and actions. We are all flawed, we are all works in progress. We are also very judgmental and condemning of one another.
I'm not arguing the world will suddenly become a utopia if religions were abandoned. It would however eliminate one of the main driving factors in wars, violence & bigotry in this world.
Dogmatic irrational beliefs whether religious, political or nationalistic should be spoken out against.
Your position is no different then saying, why should be work to eliminate racism, When it won't fully eliminate xenophobia, people will still find ways to segregate humanity.
@RedlineMMA What I find interesting is that the Bible admits this, Matthew 24:6
New International Version (NIV)
"You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come."
They recognize that they are the cause of such contention that wars will be fought about it, yet they embrace it because they are sure that their beliefs are right, and I respect that commitment. Especially Christians who are non-violent.
@lunadogwoof Heck no, Nostradamus had way better specifically vague "prophesies". I am just saying that Christians know they are causing problems with believing what they do.
@lunadogwoof Heck no, Nostradamus had way better specifically vague "prophesies". I am just saying that Christians know they are causing problems with believing what they do.
@lunadogwoof Heck no, Nostradamus had way better specifically vague "prophesies". I am just saying that Christians know they are causing problems with believing what they do.
The pope actually protected know child rapists by moving them to areas where they wouldn't be bothered by law enforcement & continued to rape innocent children. His own emails shows he was much more concerned with the image of the church then the child victims.
The catholic church is one of the most evil institutions to ever exist. No amount of charitable work would possible make up for this.
@RedlineMMA - you are making my point. The Church itself is not evil, but the people inside it. Wherever you have humans involved you will have human frailities like ego, deceit, lies, murder, greed and a lust for power. No matter how you set up an institution to do good, somewhere along the line a human will stain it with human frailties.
The Koran teaches that martyrdom is the greatest glory & highly rewarded in paradise. It commands over & over to hate & despise the infidels & to wage jihad against them. This is why terrorism is such a real threat & why suicide bombers are striking on a daily basis.
When a cartoon of Muhammad was published in Denmark & the Muslim world found out they killed rioted killing hundreds & set fire to half a dozen embassies around the world. Why such a harsh reaction???
Because one of the ten commandments is not to make a graven image & the penalty for this in the Koran is death!!
@RedlineMMA People make images and fun of Jesus, Buddha, and God himself all the time in comics, books, and television. Why are only Muslims allowed to react in such an immature way? Why are Muslims not allowed to be offended?
Its a matter of how adherent they are to their relgiouse texts(excluding Buddhism). The Muslim world is still in the dark ages 500 yrs ago Christians behaved no better (the inquisition was truly vile).
You can still find fundamentalist Christians & Jews that think adulatory & homosexuality should still be punishable by death..ETC The difference is there are hundreds of millions of Muslims that are just as dogmatic.
@AcruxSolus A so-called christian friend won't talk to me anymore because I sent him a cartoon of the Terminator saving Jesus from the cross while saying "So we won't have to listen to your bullshit in the future". I thought only muslims got butt hurt over cartoons, but every religion is a joke, and should be treated accordingly.
@MrHomeChef The fundamental difference between Muslims and Christians is the scale at which they take offense; Muslims take offense on a religious, massive scale, whereas Christians take offense only in isolated, individual instances.
@MrHomeChef Hardly. Just because the Germans killed millions of people in the past does not mean that the Germans are bad people now. The same applies to Christians, who for quite some time now, have not committed (as a whole) major atrocities, as they once did. Islam, though, is quite a different story and deserves extra scrutiny.
"The fundamental difference between Muslims and Christians is the scale at which they take offense"
Taking offense has nothing to do with it........Its clearly just a matter of how seriously they take there religion. The only reason Christians don't behave(for the most part) like modern Muslims is because they ignore a great deal of Scripture. Secular thinking is responsible for taming Christianity hopefully the same can happen to Islam.
I do agree Islam is more of a direct threat today than Christianity. However modern Christianity is still responsible for many of the worlds ills. Hundreds of millions have been killed in genocides in Africa in the last decade & Christianity & Islam are directly responsible for this.
stem cell research was banned in the USA because of Christian influence & the fact of evolution is hardly taught in American schools for the same reason. Don't forget global warming denial etc etc
The threat posed by christianity is much more insidious than that of islam. Aside from the blatantly egregious manifestations, such the genocides and religiously motivated murders, you have a system which actively promotes intolerance, willful ignorance, rejections of science, social reforms, and communication.

This video causes such an unsatisfactory because the unconventional wisdom being presented in the project itself. In my opinion, most people are just too adopted to what their everyday lives. So when ideas, especially those that are out of ordinaries are introduced, people become obnoxiously closed-minded. To me, that is being ignorant. It is like someone's first encountering to acknowledge about homosexuality, or abortions. Sigh.

Homosexual activists understand the power of words.
Please visit my channel to watch a one-minute video clip in which popular atheist author Richard Dawkins admits that homosexual activists "hijacked the word 'gay'".
The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate because it, unlike the word "gay", actually describes the behavior/attraction/relationship being discussed.
The word "gay" helps homosexual activists push their agenda.

@mohamedgna Evolution contradicts your Bible stories. Your Bible doesn't explain how Adam & Eve just popped into existence. Why doesn't "God" intervene about 150,000 years ago when homo-sapiens evolved? How do you explain "Gods" creation of the universe in 6 days? Why doesn't your Bible mention any dinosaurs if it's divinely inspired? Why doesn't it mention other planets or galaxies? If you think a little it will make sense to you that primitive men with little knowledge wrote it..

@asdfgoogle your argument shows a fundamental misunderstanding of human nature. Religion did not cause Hitler Mao or Stalin to kill their own people when they opposed them, more than religion men and women kill for power and money, prestige and status. Some of the least violent people on the face of this planet are religious, look at the Jains in India and the Buddhists of Tibet. Religion is what we make of it, and it merely reflects ourselves. Like us it is multifaceted and complex.

To sum up. The church is immoral because the bible is immoral. Islam is immoral because the Koran is immoral.
Religion in mass numbers causes otherwise good people to do the must horrific things while fully believing to their very core that they are doing gods will.
Whats more is the claims of religion are NOT TRUE. Everything we know about science history & morality destroy the claims in these books. There is no reason not to speak out..

@RedlineMMA your claim of the bible and/or the koran are immoral need proof. you having some pre-set ideas need full explanation before having such claims.. also, you cannot base a claim on one book (whether the bible or the koran) on another book.. the claims of science being contradictory of claims of the koran are actually inaccurate. look up scientific miracles of the koran and you can look for such claims. it is actually the opposite.

"You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come."
They recognize that they are the cause of such contention that wars will be fought about it, yet they embrace it because they are sure that their beliefs are right, and I respect that commitment. Especially Christians who are non-violent.

The pope actually protected know child rapists by moving them to areas where they wouldn't be bothered by law enforcement & continued to rape innocent children. His own emails shows he was much more concerned with the image of the church then the child victims.
