I guess then it depends on the type of business. To me, restaurants are mostly subjective. There are some standards to uphold, but I’m the kind of person who doesn’t care as long as the minimum quality was reached.

Agreed, but there’s a difference between a one star review for “My drink took 10 minutes” and one star review for “I’m out $1000 and this contractor did a shit job I have to pay even more money to fix.” One is overkill, the other is probably not.

It was my sad revenge as a consumer who felt duped. I might have felt altruistic when I pressed that publish button, but it was a selfish decision meant only to make myself feel a little better.

But I think the term “conservative” came from being fiscally conservative all around, which would also include the military, right? I mean, of course now it’s out of control, but that’s part of the current problem. I could be wrong, though.

Fish turner.

This is a very tenuous argument you’re making. Does everyone who’s lost someone to tobacco use get to sue the companies? What about alcohol abuse? Car accidents? What if someone dies in a DUI-related car accident? Can I sue Anheuser AND GM?

Look, his death was tragic and the tobacco companies deployed a heartless, immoral policy of manipulating users. But to a degree of being legally or civilly responsible? Adults make choices. These choices can be harmful. But they’re our choices.

Aw thanks :)

I deserve that.

But it’s remarkable how much some people—Twitter eggs and Facebook uncles who bitch about their freedom of speech being corrupted because other people had the gall to exercise theirs—really want to hang onto their gay jokes.

You wanna know how to succeed in life? Quit giving people the satisfaction of your reaction. Treat everyone you meet with kindness no matter how much they’ve wronged you. Be the bigger person. People are going to be assholes and there is not one single solitary thing you can do about it except for controlling yourself…

What happens if the Cubs turn into a relatively hot team and win three pennants over the next five years? The Cubs’ ENTIRE IDENTITY is that drought. They’re lovable, quixotic triers. Winning three championships in quick succession would destroy their loser-cred. How would that team and fan base manage the change?

I think the real tragedy here is that we will be subjected to another 72 episodes of ‘Big Bang Theory’.

It’s just the way of conservatives acting like a fetus, which is a clump of cells with no idea of its existence, is the same thing as a woman. Whether that be a teenaged woman or a 46 year old. The fact that there are people fighting for the rights of a cluster of cells that resembles a human, but can’t accept that a…

Hold your nose and vote for the dem nom WHOEVER THAT IS. Because this is the world the Repubs want and it will be hell for women.

I read that she sued and got 4 million from the estate of her friend who owned the chimp and that still doesn’t seem like enough. I am going to sound heartless since the woman who owned the chimp is passed but i really hope her estate gets hit with the bill for all this.

I too like the functionality of Alton’s books! But I wish more celebrity cookbooks were binder or spiral bound so they would LAY FLAT and NOT MAKE ME FEEL LIKE A PHILISTINE for bringing them into a messy environment! I am not a tidy cook.

I’ve composed a poem/insane person rant using all of Drew’s all caps words:

MY MAID OF HONOR WAS A LENTIL!
