Government intervention in the ongoing sugar-addiction scandal is a public health issue. Food and beverage companies knowingly incorporate a highly addictive substance - sugar - into their products knowing full well it promotes addiction, obesity, syndrome x, diabetes and eventual death. (Same goes for high-fructose corn syrup).

Food companies need to be brought to heel the way tobacco companies should have been decades ago.

Safe spaces is a load of fucking nonsense. It's the cry of those two weak-minded to cope with the world who insist the world should cope with them. It's impractical, unworkable and is already leading to a significant backlash.

Prostitution is a complex issue. Morality questions aside, the only real issue is whether it can be practiced safely without detriment to any involved. While there's a link between prostitution and human trafficking, the two are not the same. Understanding the mechanics of human trafficking and considering the impact of legislation in a game theory context is the only practical way forward.

Political correctness is silly and worth its own thread so need for me to comment further, save this nugget of gold from yesterday: Gay slur �faggot� aimed at hairdresser 'not homophobic' - French ruling

A place where Big Gulps are illegal to be fair the Geneva Convention, and Waldorf Salad, have declared my dangly, jangly, man parts a heinous swoon crime * its where I can make wanton wenches, bursting out of corsets, swoon at 40 paces of the slipper away and for their nether regions to flow like the mighty Spokane falls (is it dry falls)

Or does your big gulp malarkey mean not protein infusion, but sugar: I thought many of your coffee drinks have 1 metric tonne of sugar in them too, or was that my 4 packet of doughnuts from today (they have less sugar).

Ah yes, over here, bampots have declared a war on sugary energy drinks, cheap bedwetting Chardonnay, and proposed a sugar tax

While banks plunder you cash, and you Americans shoot each other up with your uzi guns and Sherman tanks, and air pollution lays waste in a greater manner than us smokers

Good point Awareness....

The funny thing is... Big gulps, or rather "large sodas" are not banned and havent been since 2014 after the law was found to have been unconstitutional.

Funny how this thread title mirrors the one about Mississippi. They both seem to be decades behind most of the country on civil liberties. Polar opposites in so many ways, but together they make one helluva tag team against the bill of rights.

It's fairly easy to laugh at the South, but there's a reality which most people in more progressive states ignore.

The South is poor. Like, dirt poor. Go and read some of the average income statistics someday. They really do highlight the disparity in income from state to state. And Mississippi is the state with the highest levels of poverty. Median US household income is around $50K. In Mississippi it's 36K. In Hew Hampshire - where Kalliko and I live - it's almost 63K.

Poverty impacts people's lives in many ways. It reduces opportunity in many areas of life including education. And when the rest of the nation is making more money than you and tries to tell you how to live.... well, pretty much anyone is going to turn defensive.

Mississippi needs profitable industries which will provide widespread employment. That's the real cause of many of the attitudes some are decrying. People living on the poverty line don't have a lot of time to spare for progressive politics.

So...just like all...and I mean "all"...leftist ideas, it's the thought that counts. It's why they keep saying socialism just hasn't been done right yet. Like all leftist ideas when it's examined in the real world it tends not to function.

Government regulation isn't leftism, it's a rejection of laissez-faire capitalism based upon acknowledging the need for regulation to bias free markets in favour of consumers. Without government regulation, free markets optimise towards what's best for the corporation which rarely coincides with what's best for consumers.

So, the person afflicted with this condition would be (literally translated) "talking shit"? Doctor, I concur with your diagnosis!

Possessed, you say? For which the only "cure" is a religious ritual? I'm not confident, offering a positive prognosis.

I was laughing at the Yanks, too. I think you're on to something when you mentioned Mississippi turning defensive. They defend fundamentalism, while New York defends collectivism. Unfortunately, that often pits them both against individual liberty. If Mississippi's rocky relationship with the bill of rights stems from poverty and under-education, does New York's stem from wealth and over-education? Probably not. So, what's their excuse? I agree that Mississippi needs more industry, and I hope that will happen eventually. Not sure about New York, though. I just don't see them showing much respect for individualism anytime soon.

If you enjoyed a baseball related book, I suggest George Will's "Men at Work". I think he just wrote another baseball related book as well. I've heard it was interesting.

End of discussion.


I think you're failing to take into consideration the fine qualities of other great cities, such as Blythe, California. They have good food there, some of the most famous restaurants on Earth: McDonald's, Carl's Jr., Jack in the Box. They even have a Denny's for those who prefer high-class dining establishments (where a server actually takes your order at your table).

They have legalized Big Gulps, and even Super Big Gulps, too. As for art museums...well, the whole city is a work of art. But there's the Patton Museum down the road in Chiriaco Summit. They have tanks there on display. Does the MOMA have any tanks? I'll bet they don't.

The climate is wonderful, and the summers are not nearly as hot as they are in Death Valley.

I think there are other cities in California along the coast which are almost as nice as Blythe. Some folks say that Los Angeles is "it," and while it's still much better than NYC, it still can't top Blythe.

Can't all those Red Staters pull themselves up by their bootstraps? Or are they too lazy to work hard?
