But the same selective outrage, the point stands. If it were about saving lives, the things that cause a LITERAL ORDER OF MAGNITUDE more deaths would be making the headlines. Not that this isn't a problem, or that you can't deal with more than one problem at a time. But the apoplectic response is a combination of…

It’s just a little bit fucked up that opiates kill over four times more people daily than the combined death toll in El Paso and Dayton and nobody noticed until recently.

1) understood, but you’re not at home and comfortable travel shoes exist that wouldn’t need this sleep “requirement” that you’re desperately trying to justify

Why are you taking your shoes off? Buy better shoes that don’t hurt, its 2019. 

This is an unfair characterization, Shirley Temple went on to become Black later in life. 

On the plus side, no one else can pair equipment with your Mac either, so now you’re safe!

It’s probably more like a grand since there are 3 or 4 major artist licensing companies if you only paid BMI and you played a song by an artist from another company you could still be sued.

Actually, bars, restaurants, and other public places have LONG had to pay annual licenses for the rights to play music in them, going back to the 1940s and ‘50s.

So in addition to the stop sign infraction the cop is on the hook for unlawful arrest and illegal imprisonment.

“Amazon is going to be telling one story about itself, which is they can ship a Kindle to your house in one day, isn’t that wonderful,” said William Stolz

The complete lack of self-awareness* in this guy specifically but the Republican party in general (well, though maybe only the more fanatically religious element, like this dumbface) is a wonder to behold. I mean, it’s always been there, but the way it’s skyrocketed into just blatant fundamentalism the last few years…

You are correct that you didn’t mention those things.  I never said you did.  But you are commenting on an article about that specific topic (“confronting” or “punishing” a politician in a restaurant) so I mentioned it.  It’s not like this is a discussion about fast food being unhealthy and I randomly brought up…

When you spit on someone or kick them out of a restaurant, do you really think you have changed their mind? Will their policies change? Of course not.

All you did was make yourself into a huge prick (not you specifically, of course) while confirming to that politician that his view of the “other side” is correct and…

No thanks, I’d prefer we stick to the actual definition.

Please explain, citing examples, who the “honest to goodness fascist, Nazi types” in our government are, and why.  I’m interested to hear which of our government officials have taken steps to exterminate other races from the face of the earth using death camps and torture.

As Leah Chase, Anthony Bourdain, and a host of others have shown us... Food is often what unites us, what can bring us to open and frank discussions. I’ve seen some despicable people and politicians come across my tables. I’ve also seen them come across and share a meal with people I greatly respect who were opposites…
