Matthew 25:35-40

It's not that surprising. It's food with some preservatives that people have been eating and haven't died yet. My favorite pastime: reading off the lists of the molecular names of components of whole foods (like a tomato) to people without telling them what it is and watching them go "OMG CHEMICALS THEY ARE…

You are older than:

Actually, those loans were taken out across generational lines.

I always liked Notepad2.....but I'm not a coder..lol.

Perhaps you've only had super old ones? They're not supposed to be so hard as to be unchewable, they're supposed to be squishy good.

Payday is the perfect combination of sweet caramel and salty peanuts. So good. Om nom nom.

Sorry, but butterfingers, three musketeers, and payday bats are nearly at the top of my "best candy bars" list. They are vastly superior to the leaders on your list. It's scientifically true, so you can't argue.

You aren't allergic to gold. If your skin breaks out to gold jewelry it's because either the gold jewelry is cheap and there is nickel in it, or the gold is in a compound instead of an elemental metal. Gold is among the most chemically inert elements.

Oh, yes, absolutely. But then another point of the film is that while it isn't any good for everyone to try to be completely the same, we also shouldn't just outright reject everything that is generic, average, or popular out-of-hand. While they start out presenting the everything is awesome song as banal tripe that…

I'm a pantry cook & I do not feel as though it would be safe for me to be wearing gloves all the time...I have to do lots of very high-speed slicing & dicing & I would not feel safe putting a glove on my right hand (the one I use to hold my knife.) I want to have a very secure grip on my knife at all times.

It's really difficult for a lot of Americans - and the country if you think of it as having a collective psyche that transcends generations - as part of anything larger than itself. From inception, obviously, America has placed a premium on independence, which is all well and good in theory. But you know who else…

I actually think you do a really good job of laying out a serious dilemma. On the one hand, it's counterproductive to assume or believe that the government is literally "out to get you." On the other hand, we have handy access to a lot of information indicating that our government (speaking loosely) has been a…

The examples you give ARE laughable. And yet, disbelief in the US government is not entirely irrational. In the 40's and 50's, people actually believed what the government told them. But things started changing after that, and it wasn't just the Vietnam war (although that would have been enough). Do you remember the…

This is an excellent comment and an important question. Unfortunately, there's no simple answer. There are a lot of factors — a declining American education system, a media culture that prizes either outright lies in the name of an aristocratic agenda (Fox News) or just overblown sensationalism with no real regard for…

I have a question. (Stay with me on this.) I'm Australian with about 22 or so great, intelligent American friends I regularly keep in touch with. I read as much of their media and articles as I do Australian, UK and European media.

I have never seen anywhere near the level of paranoia and suspicion of 'The Government'…

I am humbled by Mark for writing this article about my "alien look." Thank you. I started doing this a few months ago, I'm self taught and it is just a fun way of entertaining myself and the people around me. To the people who do not enjoy it; sorry about that. To the people who do; thank you for the kind words & if…

You must be a Brit. I like you. Let's be friends. Love, an American Anglophile.

P.S. - Cheese toasty is the best hangover food in the world. And yes, a stove top grilled cheese with a buttered pan is also more awesome than you can shake a stick at.

You seem to have been involved in a prolonged haggle over this and I am not trying to pile on, however 'The Calorie Myth' is a stupid name for a book. A calorie is a unit of energy and it does not lie. The holding your breath in a smoke filled room is a neat analogy, however it is basically flawed. Doctors don't…
