@khdownes: Honestly for a single guy living alone that sounds doable. However for a lower income family, with two working parents it honestly sounds easier said than done. The bottom line is that its a dick move to judge and look down on people when you don't know their situation.

@Antoine Prince: Saying that you look down on fat people DOES make you sound like an dick. Especially considering that its possible to be fat and eat organic.

@Myklsan: Well it kind of looks like demolition or something is happening behind the sign so I dunno. It just seems like that there are lot of other reasons for a McD's to go under aside from the food being more expensive and less available.

@Powerlurker: If the owner of a franchise goes bankrupt then their stores can go under regardless of how well the chain is corporately managed.

How do we know that McDonalds didn't go under because of a glutted market or a mismanaged franchise ?

@Antoine Prince: I don't eat processed food but it surely doesn't put me or YOU on any sort of pedestal. There are people who can't afford to eat healthy and those sort of pompous judgments are the last thing they need.

@jbrecken: I'm thinking they're those little cut outs on the inside of the front wheel. They probably flip out into pedals.

@gir: I have t-mobile and got my smart phone but was able to keep my dumb phone plan.

It seems like a lot of the characters have heads that are small in proportion to their bodies.

@kung_fu_jesus: Yea you're right. 13 was extremely melodramatic. It really wasn't helped by the characters' overly exaggerated (and often times highly unnatural) movements.

It's really a case of all the awful touch screen devices making the good ones look bad. A lot of the first i phone competitors had terrible touch interfaces that easily could have soured people to the technology.

If only the kindle itself was as stylish and sleek as these cases for it.

@gebinsk: Yes, but my point was that they made it TOO easy, and then had to change it. So that type of marketing scheme can really only go so far.

@gebinsk: As far as I know that Pay phrase used to be "One click buying". I'm guessing they changed it because people kept accidentally pressing it and buying things they hadn't decided on.

@Snow leopard: Yeah I can totally relate. As a kid the whole process of renting movies on a Friday night was really fun and something I looked forward too all week. With net flix and red box it's definitely not the same feeling.

@dolo54 blows minds and blows engines!: To be honest block buster offered a much better experience years ago than the hole in the wall places I'd been to. They were much more family friendly plus they had games. I don't see how offering more of what people wanted made them the " worst thing to happen to the movie…

@mjsd555: If people really wanted to shop at mom and pop video stores they would. There's an " Awesome video" in my neighborhood that has gone strong (despite being a small operation) even with a Block buster and a Hollywood right down the street. The main reason people still go there is because the experience is…

@virgil.ierubino: It's really not surprising that they were profitable, especially in the 90's. It was a cheap way to get hours of entertainment and made much more sense than buying a copy of something you just wanted to see once.

@Crippl3: lolumad: Totally agreed with brutal legends. Psyconauts was soo good that .......wow I couldn't believe how quickly I lost interest with that one.

I hate cliche, obnoxious humor almost as much as I hate that stupid kid .
