I have eaten roots and leaves and flowers of those plants raw. The roots are in abundance. You wont get as much from leaves and flowers, due to small weight.
One dandelion root weights more than a carrot. There is so much dandelions growing everywhere that you dont even have to walk much to look for them. It took me only a few minutes to dig up 2 kilograms.
People cook those roots to get better taste and to soften them, since roots are slightly bitter and tough to chew.

The cooking adds some taste to plants. Thats why people cook those plants.
It is safe to eat raw dandelions and raw stinging nettles. Its just the taste that sucks.
After having eaten 2 kilograms of raw dandelion root in 4 days, and some raw stinging nettle, I can say this: it tastes bad, but none of it is dangerous.

You have reported and deleted one of my most important forum topics that I liked very much. I put lots of effort into that topic.
Now you make fun of me over my support for Democratic Korea.
I have no interest in trading any sort of insults with you. My goal on this site is to spread the truth and God's word. However, I would prefer if you dont delete my forum topics anymore. Its not a very nice thing. I really like my forum topics. I want for them to inspire people to do good. 😊

You cant remove guns. You can ban them. People will still get them illegally.
Again, you are following the logic:
Mass murderer has a gun = bad for us
Mass murderer doesnt have a gun = now we are safe
People have historically demonstrated that knives, bombs, cars and poisons can kill plenty of people even if you somehow succeed in removing all the illegal guns.

That is not the point.
Try inventing your own points then. Until then, the point is activity.

@ADreamOfLiberty
Isn't it glaringly obvious that victim and murderer are not mutually exclusive?
They are mutually exclusive. When he commits the most horrible crime, we will not think that he is a victim of anything. We will not pretend that he is something different from murderer and madman.
Is it also glaringly obvious that the shooter is an evil murderer, and any affection for murderer celebrates murder?
Created:

@ADreamOfLiberty
Yeah, so mental illness.
Murderers need to be killed. They are not victims. They are evil. There is nothing that can justify a shooter in this case. Anyone not saying "this person was evil and corrupt" is himself evil and corrupt.

Finally a better set of rules for the site. This should at least decrease insults on the site, which now I think are being a bit overused. No new user wants to be called "idiot" if he expresses a different opinion. Is it a debate site or a site filled with insults? Its a debate site. Save insults for YouTube.

But those aren't American values
They are the values of the Bible.
"You are an enemy of America.""you clearly don't wish us well"
"Make deals, have respect for powerful countries, dont place nukes at their borders, dont start wars with them" - I always forget that the only way to be pro-USA is to support endless wars and endless cold wars.

People who can do neither aren't male or female?
In the ancient times and according to the Bible, you werent considered completely man unless you made your wife pregnant.
Having genitals was just one step in the process of reproduction, but it was the reproduction that defined men and women.
In the Bible, what makes male and female is their unity into one body and the reproduction that results from that unity.
Today, when reproduction is ignored, we get all this nonsense where people identify as tractor wheels and what not.

Banning them means they will be sold illegally.
Being illegal could discourage some people from getting into guns, but we would really have to ban toy guns then too... oh the slippery slope. Next we will be banning knives to replace them with plastic knives because it logically follows from the premise of item being dangerous.
I liked guns as a kid. Now I hate them. However, I wouldnt go around saying they should be banned. Thats just stupid logic that we start blaming items for what people do with them.

K then. And all this time I thought having an opposing view point meant I could have one without having my life destroyed.
Thats the beauty of democratic societies.
Remember that time when J.K. Rowling spoken something against changing the meaning of "woman"?
One must be very careful about what one says.
In democratic societies, sometimes instead of being arrested for having an opinion, you get financially punished for disagreeing with majority.
The financial punishment can destroy you, which ends up having the same effect of silencing as would a prison punishment have.
We are way past the point: "I disagree with what you say, but I would defend your right to say it".
USA still has little freedom of speech left, but in other countries, its gone. They already passed the laws on anti-free speech.

Take out of context means that I have used it incorrectly. However, since you did not contradict my use of it, there is nothing that refutes my use of it.
im sure you can google the verses, im not gonna hold your hand.
I already know the verses that talk about forced sex and then paying the fine and committing to marriage. However, I would prefer to hear from you which verse talks about this case in the topic.

Of course, you reveal yourself as authoritarian by such statements. We Americans are dedicated to proposition that Freedom and Equality for everybody is the only truly sustainable form of government.
Irrelevant to what I said. Also, instead of "freedom and equality", try promoting life and God's law. It lasted for thousands of years.
 "Might makes Right" is always more appealing to thugs and wife-beaters but we Americans learned from Jesus that " all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword"  so we sought to make poltical power both temporary and representative.
Irrelevant to what I said. There is a difference between "world is based on power" and "might makes right". Morality without power cannot survive and spread itself. Power without morality is blind. Russians have no reason to give up their power and risk being destroyed along with their morality.
Also, if you really learned from Jesus, you wouldnt be putting nukes at Russia's border.
"Do to others what you would have them to do to you".
By your totally situational morality, Putin is objectively too weak to control the largest, emptiest chunk of property on the planet.Â
If he was too weak, he wouldnt control it.
Strong, effective governments are therefore justified in challenging Putin's weakness and taking what they can.
No. Thats a path to war and mutual destruction. They US allies have taken plenty far before the war in Ukraine.
Either "the world is based on power" and Putin's weakness is provocative
Correct. If you want to put your missiles in Ukraine to exploit Russia's weakness, you will get Russia's response. If you want to invade Russia's allies, you will get Russia's response. If you want to kill Russian civilians in Ukraine, you will get Russia's response. Therefore, next time you want to exploit someone's weakness by doing the above, dont cry about the consequences or pretend that you are clueless about how the war started.
or "the world is based on rule of law" and Putin's genocides put him at the top of the World's "most wanted."
If the world is based on some of your made up laws, where does that put USA?
Handing over your weapons is a universal sign of peace.
No. It is a sign of temporary deal. Is "putting nukes and interceptors at your border, invading your allies" a sign of peace too? No.
Fundamental human values are essentially the same all over.
Wrong. Did you know that Russia doesnt allow your kind?
The values that make it possible for Putin to make himself the richest man on Earth at the expense of the Russian people do not conform with Western or Christian or Democratic values, to be sure
Does arming Ukraine to fight the suicidal war against Russia while the rest of us cheer conforms with Christian values?
To be reminded, Christian value is life. "Thou shall not kill", "multiply and fill the Earth" tell us to base our morality on an increase of life.
Do we increase the life when we invade Russia's allies, or when we arm Ukraine to fight a suicidal war? No. We destroy life.
Plus, if you are concerned about Putin's wealth, but not concerned about the wealth of billionares in USA, or USA using its money to arm terrorists, what exactly is your point?
Never trust anybody who tells you to forget the examples of our past- that person is always looking to fuck you up
So if we think past=present, then Europe=nazi, USA=racist, Japan=still bombing pearl harbor, Great Britain=invading most of the world.
Yeah, lets not do that.

Putin has no more right to dictate Ukrainian foreign policy than Mexico has a right to dictate US policy.
Is a false statement. You dont get to put your missiles and interceptors in Ukraine. You may think that world is based on equality, but it is based on power. Russia has no reason to allow itself to be put at a disadvantage.
If NATO was a threat to Russia, we'd never have given back Russia's missiles.
Is a false statement. NATO is obviously a threat to Russia, when NATO countries invade Russia's allies and try to isolate Russia. "You give back missiles" doesnt mean you wont harm Russia. The values promoted by NATO are opposite of Russian values. At some point, war could break out. Maybe in 50, 100, or 300 years. In the event of war between Russia and NATO, Ukraine being part of NATO would be an advantage to NATO. Ukraine chose its faith by siding with NATO and trying to bring NATO to Russia's borders. Now they suffer the consequences of their actions. Should have stayed neutral.
Ukrainians remember that the last time Russia took over, they used that authority to genocide every Ukrainian
80 years ago has nothing to do with people today. Correct.
