Do you participate in modern medicine? Do you have any vaccinations or taken any antibiotics? Animal testing makes it possible. What alternative do you propose?
Because humans are more valuable. If you had to choose between saving one human, and one hundred rats, which would you choose? We test on rats until we deem it safe and ethical enough to progress to testing on humans.
Can you answer the question, “If you had to choose between saving one human and one hundred rats,which would you choose?” The answer to your questions is related to this one.
In the U.S., most salary jobs are spoken about in annual terms. Job listing’s list annual salary, offer letters list annual pay, my employee portal lists annual pay, etc. My pay stubs are biweekly though. Pretty much nothing is ever described in monthly terms, at least not that I’ve ever seen.
Pretty much everyone except people from “America”, that is, the US.
Well that is a broad generalization spoken from a place of ignorance. I promise you that the vast majority of Americans (that is, people from the U.S.) know about the Americas (that is, the continents).
That being said, colloquially, the term “America” generally refers to the United States. And that’s true most everywhere, not just in the U.S.
Most people will say “North”, “South”, or “Americas” (plural) when talking about the continents.
Language is a complicated and very fluid social construct. What means one thing somewhere might mean something different somewhere else, even if the same language is spoken in both places. Both usages of the word are correct, and it’s both the responsibility of to the speaker and listener to understand each other. It’s confusing, but that’s how things are in the real world. Of course you can say “America” to refer to the continents, and if that’s what’s dictated by social contract where you’re from, then more power to you. I’m just saying that you can’t judge an entire nation of people based off the colloquial usage of a word (not that you were, I’m referring to the person I responded to).
Best thing Clarksville ever did was make mugshots private. I mean, it only happened after the sheriff’s daughter was charged with something, but it’s a good thing either way.
