Sarcasm? :s

I'm lost.

Jared is saying new healthcare laws and junk food tax is bad and then says how it’s ridiculous that a fat woman is encouraged and proud to become even fatter?

In terms of government and society, it isn't always full of shit, the western world wouldn't be what it is without a successful government to run the nations. Believe it or not the world isn't falling to shit. Most of the time there moves are just, but people get scared of change and being told what they can and can't have.

I'm quite happy with the way government works and how its progressing, of course it's not perfect, the capitalist system isn't perfect, there are some things (mainly hard right wing views) that make me go WTF, but it's the most efficient and it is the best fit for humanity around.


I'm getting the point of the post, just that paragraph didn't make much sense. Plus I thought the healthcare change in the states was a really good move.

That is very disturbed that the jersey lady wants to be the fattest women in the world. By god, have some decentcy for yourself. Nobody is going to like you any better if you're fat. They'll you at you and get disgusted by you. I hate to say it, but it's the truth.



I think everyone has those days. I for one do, and I am a pretty optimisic person. But I do believe the world is fucked beyond repair but there is always some small object worth fighting for.



Um wow, those kids are so talented and yeah he was so hilarious. It did brigthen my day. As for the 10 years humming "Rude boy," I used to 'sing' rap not knowing what the songs meant when I was little. For example, I sang the 'thong' song when it came out and I didn't even know what a thong was at the age of six or however old I was. He might just be navie and have no idea what the lyrics mean. It's just he sees older 'cool' kids singing it and wants to be just like them.



YES! It was gorgeous out today. Went out for a walk in my neighborhood smelling all the blossoming flowers. I wish it could stay this weather for the rest of the year.

I'm lost.

some parts of the new healthcare laws I think could help a considerable amount of people. But at the end of the day, no matter what reform happens. The entire system is based off of greed, and no matter how its spun, there's always going to be an unjustified amount of money pouring in the wrong direction. although the new laws may help, its going to take a lot more than that for me to put any faith back into any part of the healthcare system. dig a little, watch a few docs, and get bummed with me.

but YES, i think the junk food tax is completely ridiculous. its just another way to recoup money. NO ONE is going to be deterred from eating junk food simply because is a few cents more expensive. I personally like eating shitty food from time to time. I exercise and eat well, and sometimes I enjoy rewarding myself by destroying a big mac or two. I'm sure it goes the same for a lot of people. If someone doesn't have enough will power to stay away from Mcdonald's for more than a few hours at a time, a few cents on the dollar isn't doing anything except fattening someones pocket.

now if that 5 or 10 cents (or whatever it may be) per dollar magically went to a fund to help feed the hungry, it would be a different story. but I'd be willing to bet that's not the case. I don't know where the money is going to go, but I'd assume its goes to help "nutritional awareness". or some agency somewhere that will get hundreds of thousands of dollars to make a series of commercials explaining the dangers of eating foods high in saturated fats. most likely that agency paid someone off to get the contract.

obviously i don't know if that's the case or not. as I question things, time and time again, this formula seems to pop up more often than not.

Does anybody know anyone that quit smoking once heavy taxes were put on cigarettes? I don't. saying that taxes like these are for our own good is just another way to shut us up.

if the tax money went towards subsidizing the cost of foods high in nutritional value, like like fruits and vegetables, then it would balance itself out. You could then sell me on the fact that it may deter people from eating poorly. in that case it may actually make it cheaper to go grocery shopping than go to Wendy's, which is definitely not the case now. if it were you'd be hearing a totally different argument from me.

all that is going to happen is super cheap shitty fast food, is just going to be a littttle bit less cheaper. I guess i shouldn't be barking about it until i see how it all goes down, and where all the money falls. I'm assuming a lot here. But judging by this countries track record, I have a pretty good idea where the money will fall, and it isn't with us.
