To put it bluntly: No. Foxconn is a grownup (or would be in 'Merica, what with the rights of corporations.) Foxconn could make conditions better all by itself, if it wanted to. The Chinese government may not care about the conditions of workers in factories, for the very reasons you stated, but that does not make…

Not so much a response to the post but to all of the comments - quite refreshing to see this many level-headed comments about the ridiculousness of the "research" as an argument for limiting or removing rights. Of course there will always be those that post some sort of fear-mongering "there are no good firearms, and…

Ender's Game? An Agatha Christie book? Some YA novel? Not sure how those could be considered pornographic. Because it is mentioned in Ender's Game that characters are at times naked?

More importantly the added revenue that comes from having your establishment mentioned on numerous websites as part of such a fantastical story. Of course people are going to want to see the balcony where the jump took place. While there, they might even have a drink or two.

It is abundantly clear now that you are putting minimal effort into reading and responding to what I have actually posted. Otherwise, you would have seen the multiple places where I have in fact agreed with your latest post. If that changes, I'll start putting in effort again as well, but for now I'm calling it…

Strongly considering just jumping in head-first and trying to wire this rental property... Sick of the poor wireless rates down 12 feet of hallway, and I've done a lot to try and improve it. (One really poorly placed fireplace seems to hurt that a bit.) Maybe I could sell it as an "upgrade" to the owner.....

"IIf it's not cool when people do it to women, it's not cool when they do it to men. Period."

Last I checked, I'm not Jamie Oliver's father, so I'm not sure how it is the same. Nor did I call him fat, so, again, not sure how it is the same. (Nor do I think he is, nor do I think it matters one way or the other.) I also don't recall ever suggesting that Jamie Oliver should get back with his abusive ex. Still…

Sugar is not a good choice, and does horrible things to you, especially your brain. This I don't disagree. That being said, I also disagree that removing sugar is the be-all, end-all of weight loss and weight maintenance. It is just one part of becoming healthier as a whole. (I also think that some low amount of…

Maybe I'm out of touch, old fashioned, what have you, but "you bitch" just isn't something that sounds light-hearted.

This is part of why he bugs me so much. I like his general message, or at least the direction that message points, but his delivery (at least in my opinion) sucks. His suggestions also seem to be a bit misinformed (at times) about just what is and is not achievable by the average parent or school. Change is…

Yep, pretty much. I felt a little guilty about it, but with creeps like Rhianna's father and Terry Richardson existing, I was able to feel a bit less so.

That sums it up pretty perfectly.

I love anything about Jamie Oliver getting called out for something. Even something as petty as weight gain. His overwhelming aura of arrogance and narcissism (am I the only one that gets that from him?) just makes me feel nauseated, so I can't help but enjoy when he takes a hit. Even a low blow.

My money. Shut up and take it.

Can't believe I'm agreeing with this... but I am. I don't think that would have been the case two years ago.

I honestly cannot drive by a KFC sign that has that image on it without cracking up. All after I saw this called out the first time.

If you like garlic, give Mr. Chen's a try. Has Sriracha spice, but a little bit different flavor. Might be harder to find, though.

Nah, not the commentariat being lazy about harder problems due to weak moral fiber, or being bad. I still at times neglect to properly dispose of batteries, though the Eneloops help with that. More the newscaster/journalist/what-have-you at CNBC for making that, of all things, into a big, scary story. There are…

Show of hands of people that recycled those AAs they took out of that electronic gizmo last week.
