So let’s review: for-profit prison companies contribute millions to election campaigns; those office holders pass more laws, (more laws->more offenses->more convictions->more inmates), federal government pays private prisons to house the inmates, who in turn manufacture goods for government contracts.

capitalism , money, enrichment, seems like a good track. This is the same government that destroyed Iraq for mass destruction weapons, unfound

Slave labor is awesome?

Good luck with that. A hamburger, small drink and a fries will set you back $3.70 - with the happy meal you also get apple slices or yogurt or a mandarin orange. Plus the fucking toy - thats worth two bucks right there. Fuck you for being a judgmental dick.

Good catch finding the gender biased element in his comment!!!

The problem is that a chicken McNugget kids meal is only 420 calories, 470 with barbeque sauce. Considering an active 4-8 year old is supposed to consume as much as 1,800 calories/day (1,600 for a sedentary child) then feeding them 3 chicken nugget happy meals a day is not going to make them fat. They are also not…

Also, the burgers by themselves are not really a caloric issue. It’s when you add a soft drink and fries that a McDonald’s meal becomes an issue. A hamburger is 250 calories. Add a medium fries and a sweet tea, and you’re at 720. I’m not sure what items the author was using for his “840 calories in a Happy Meal”…

What a negative way to write about something that’s generally positive. Kids are going to get pointless little plastic toys with their happy meals anyways, at least this one might make them want to walk a bit more.

Heavy duty vehicles are the second biggest source of CO2 emissions in the U.S.

So decreasing emissions by 25% is a bad thing? I’m not understanding your point here, or how it relates to my comment.

Just isn’t. Might be slightly faster in ideal conditions, but the Mustang is still a better everyday driver car, which is what most folks want. The Camaro is still claustrophobic on the interior, still shoddy materials (though it’s better than the original), the design is still boring, and that rear quarter window is…

They can. For 31,755 quid.

Even in the reverse, it sounds like they had fantastic sex or something. I’d have gone with “Historic Night; Manuel, Phelps Win Gold!!!” Yeesh.

How much money do you think Ronnie Reagan sent to the Ayatollah back in 1980 to pay for holding the hostages then and releasing them just in time for the inauguration. They got what they were promised by Reagan in August of that year when he sold out the hostages for the Iranians to embarrass Carter so that Reagan…

Then why aren’t there the same issues with every other auto trans car on the road? Why there are people posting on Jalopnik saying that they have made the same mistake where it felt like the car went into park, but didn’t?

I don’t know man, a lot of jalopnik commentators that own cars with these transmissions thought they were in park too. It seems like it's not that uncommon.

*unless they’re gay, black, Muslim, democrats, rape victims...

Good to see the FA crowd is trying to beat that low score...

All he did was give his life while standing up for a disenfranchised peoples...yeah your right, fuck him.

Let me guess, Twinkies are your best friend?
