ParticipantShark fact #14: Not all sharks are fierce carnivores. Some are quite harmless. Oddly enough, the most harmless sharks tend to be the largest! The basking shark, the whale shark and the megamouth sharks all fit this description.
These huge sharks eat plankton, a tiny shrimp-like creature found in the ocean. To do this, they swim forward with their mouths wide open. “Gill rakers” at the back of their throat strain the tiny food from the water.

ParticipantShadowfax: You’ll note that I said (in an earlier post) that, while I disagree with abortion on moral grounds, I also accept that it is the law of the land.
I would also say that my position on the issue isn’t nuanced and isn’t perfect, but it is what I believe. I understand the arguments against and many are strong, but I believe that abortion is murder and only allowable in cases of incest and murder.
As to the “Leftist Playbook”: I don’t throw that accusation around lightly, but will when the person in question ignores a rational request for discussion and instead starts in with the rhetoric and the polemic.
Why wouldn’t you want to sound like Rustico, by the way? He is a true believer, and I respect him for that. He’s wrong, of course… π

ParticipantShark fact #11: Their skin is made of denticles instead of ordinary fish scales. The denticles are constructed like hard, sharp teeth and help to protect the shark from injury.

Participantpablo: Is that a shark “fact”? If so, you need to number it.
Protocol, man, protocol!
