Theo Von asks Mike Tyson if his life would have been better with an easy childhood.
Tyson doesn’t even let him finish the sentence.
TYSON: “I don’t want that. Stay away from me. Keep that sh*t away from me.”
THEO: “You like the way it went?”
TYSON: “I love to suffer. I don’t want no good time. I like getting out of my comfort zone.”
THEO: “If you had the stereotypical things that people [had]—”
TYSON: “I would be a b*tch.”
[Audience laughs and cheers]
THEO: “Would you have been the heavyweight champion of the world?”
TYSON: “No. [I would be] the heavyweight b*tch of the world.”
[Theo and Tyson both laugh]
Mike Tyson refused to wish for a softer past. He knew the suffering made him who he was.

It’s called the Pegan Diet.
It’s a hybrid of Paleo and Vegan principles.
Paleo mimics the food our ancestors ate (meats, seafood, fruit, veggies).
Vegan emphasizes plants and fiber.
But what’s special about this diet?
In 1922, a group of scientists went to the Toronto General Hospital where diabetic children were kept in wards, often 50 or more at a time. Most of them were comatose and dying from diabetic ketoacidosis. Others were being treated by being placed on an extremely strict diet, which inevitably led to starvation.
This is known as one of medicine's most incredible moments. Imagine a room full of parents sitting at the bedside waiting for the inevitable death of their child.
The scientists went from bed to bed and injected the children with a new purified extract: it was called insulin.
As they began to inject the last comatose child, the first child injected began to awaken. Then one by one, all the children awoke from their diabetic comas. A room of death and gloom became a place of joy and hope.
In the early 1920s Frederick Banting and Charles Best discovered insulin under the directorship of John Macleod at the University of Toronto. With the help of James Collip insulin was purified, making it available for the successful treatment of diabetes.
In the same year, Banting, Collip, and Best decided to sell the insulin patent to the University of Toronto for $1.
Banting and Macleod earned a Nobel Prize for their work in 1923.

The mainstream media censored this! Let's make it go VIRAL!
While judicial vacancies certainly play a role in the inability to meet constitutional speedy trial guarantees, there are other major issues - some of them even more critical. The failure to address those other issues will deny timely justice to victims and defendants.
The Zameer case showcased some of these problems - overcharging and the zealous prosecution of marginal cases - which occur far too frequently. Add in the loss of preliminary inquiries, the creation of cumbersome and time-consuming procedures in sex assault prosecutions, the dramatic rise in the use of direct indictments, the tripling of the rate of unrepresented defendants (partly because legal aid eligibility thresholds have remained stagnant), and so on .... and THAT'S why you have so many cases that are being thrown out by the Courts, and why this will continue even after the vacancies are filled.
How Communism preys on the folly of human nature:
The backbone of Mao’s revolution was the Chinese peasants who believed that they would get free land & be made equal.
They indeed were able to confiscate the land from landlords & divided it equally among themselves through the brutal Land Reform (1949-1952) which led to the death of more than 2 mil landlords.
But within a few years, new “inequality” emerged. Some people were doing better than others. Who would guess it!
No worries. There was a solution: collectivization. This time the CCP will make everyone absolutely equal. Collective farming started as “voluntary” option. Guess who were the ones strongly supporting it? Those who did not do as well their neighbors!
Eventually all peasants were forced to be collectivized into people’s communes. The land & all means of production now belonged to the PEOPLE (aka the STATE), they were told.
The result? 3 yrs of the Great Famine (1959-1961) which killed up to 50 mil peasants.
A history lesson of where the desire for free stuff & equity will lead us to!
