Why, praytell, do you wager ecigs are better than Cokes or Big Macs? I hope it's not because you believe that Cokes and Big Macs aren't "natural".

The word "holistic" is an empty buzz word.

But... I don't want a Kinect. But you're saying I should be forced to buy one for the benefit of every one who does want Kinect related features? I don't care to control my TV with my arms. My thumbs press buttons and push sticks faster than I can wave my arms. Why do I have to subsidize the quality of your…

Coke is about as acidic as the average glass of orange juice. Not impressive.

Where do you support your claim that the Cultural Revolution didn't deny "access to Western Culture"? Because it did. I concur that Cultural Revolution repressed traditional Chinese culture to the degree that it didn't conform with communist ideals. But my original claim that the Cultural Revolution repressed anything…

Funny I tried imagining someone building a miniature New York in the middle of rural Indiana. I dismissed the idea as absurd for the same reasons that this Chinese recreation of Paris seems absurd.

Ever see the movie the Red Violin? If not, watch it. It illustrates the Cultural Revolution's disdain for Western culture.

Interesting. But given some historical context, their behavior is probably a reaction to the era of China's Cultural Revolution, in which anything perceived as being Western was outlawed as being bourgeoise. Chinese citizens were denied the right to consume Western products, and through poor economic policy, they…

Did they build the city as a replica of Paris to attract residents or tourists? Because neither makes sense. If you're a tourist visiting China, a replica of Paris wouldn't be high on your list of destinations (except for the pure WTF novelty of it). And if you're a prospective home buyer, a replica of Paris,…

Apple really did abandon us MobileMe subscribers like we're their bastard children whom they do their best to hide.

One time, late at night, I was horny so I watched a movie on Netflix with two girls on the cover kissing. Now Netflix recommends pretty much every LGBT film it has to me. Their "algorithm" isn't that complex.

If it came with a stripper pole, then their Astronaut Barbie would make more sense.

Both Lockheed Martin and Raytheon have submitted designs for the replacement system to the DoD in hopes of landing that $3.5 billion initial contract.

So how do you feel about the Japanese? Because some of their fast food creations make ours look tame. Or is only hating on Americans trendy?

I trust the Japanese military far more than the Chinese military.

Self-loathing Americans are funny.

It's wrong to eat plants too. It is animalpocentric to extend value only to animals. All life has inherent value. Plants have an inherent value outside of your selfish needs. Biocentrism is the only logically consistent approach to environmental ethics. People should only eat fruit, nuts, and seeds. It's not wrong to…

How do we send judgmental shithead commenter Jesus Diaz to limbo?

I hope you mean this isn't racism because the tanning beds are taxed as a sin tax because tanning is bad for your health, like cigarettes. And I hope you don't mean this isn't racism because racism cannot be committed against light skinned people.

That pig does look incredibly sad. I'm not a vegetarian or anything like that. But anything that has eyes to stare back at you invokes some sympathy. I also like all the color in his skin. It looks cruel. Like the pig was cooked alive. But it looks pretty too. Cycle of life shit.
