I made it in probably a minute in response to one of those "Where do you want to go/Where have you been?" threads, so I only really picked places I could think of places I'd like to see. I don't hate Portugal, but don't especially care for it either. There's only a few countries I irrationally hate, so I could make a map for that if you'd like.

Natural beauty is overrated. I rather interact with the people of different countries.

If you haven't been there before, okay, cool.  If you have, fuck that.  Do Universal or Legoland.  or Islands of Adventure.  or Busch Gardens.

I haven't been since I was 8. We're going down for three days: 1 day Epcot, 1 day Disney, 1 day fucking around by the pool.

So you think BP should've been fined out of existence then?
No, I think your pretending that the industry regulates itself is easily dismissed using the BP oil spill as a simple case study.  I could probably find one instance a year dispelling your statement.

I think the case study of BP clearly shows a) industry will virtually always only do the bare minimum needed, spend the least money possible, push back as much as possible, engage in unethical business practices in trying to skirt regulations they don't deem necessary; and b) large companies don't go out of business as a result of unethical/illegal/wrong business practices.
BP wasn't even the cause of the spill though, they just had the deepest pockets and so became the focus.

Transocean was doing the drilling, and Halliburton was in charge of the well capping process. BP was just the lease holder.

Besides, it was an accident, there was no willful negligence, and the operators paid for their mistake with their lives. You can't legislate away accidents. You can make them less likely, sure, but nothing is foolproof.

As for the rest, whatever, you hate corporations, I know, so the argument is pointless.
I don't hate corporations.  I hate when people and/or entities act unethically.  I repeat the same shit over and over - there is no ethics or morality in capitalism.  That's the main gripe I have against it.  Greed almost seems to breed immoral/unethical behavior.

The new owner of Hostess Brands snack cakes hopes to have Twinkies back on U.S. store shelves by this summer, according to a member of the purchasing group.



"Our family is thrilled to have the opportunity to reestablish these iconic brands with new creative marketing ideas and renewed sales efforts and investment," Daren Metropoulos, a principal at his family's private equity firm, told Reuters in an email on Tuesday.



"We look forward to having America's favorite snacks back on the shelf by this summer."
Oh thank god!

I haven't had one in many years, but they were selling on eBay for like $8k a box a few months ago when Hostess went bankrupt. Pretty funny.

Theres a good amount of scientific evidence that a persons adult weight is mostly set before they are born - by the parents genes and the mothers diet before and during pregnancy.
Most of the rest of it is sealed during the first four years of childhood. Obviously the sort of obscene gluttony seen in Western countries adds to it.
Where do you get this stuff?
For example.

Its steadily becoming better understood, but it seems to be the case that for many fatties you can blame the parents, not them, plus for a fatty with an imposed disposition to be fat to lose weight and then maintain an average weight it really is much harder than for a 'normal' person to not get fat in the first place.

Who gets hurt in a car accident if you don't wear a seat belt. You do. No one else. Seat belt laws are in place because insurance companies lobbied for them in order to lower their liabilities.
