There's a lot of kids who get most of their calories from their schools because their families are poor and they use the cafeteria (with a reduced cost lunch plan) to feed them. Also there's a fair amount of laziness and/or overwork as well. I personally took lunch to school usually though.
The vast, VAST majority comes from highly subsidized corn. HFCS is in everything because it's so cheap, it's so cheap because we're basically paying farmers to grow it while simultaneously refusing to import sugar at reasonable rates.
To a degree. No one wants to be carrying around a brick that they need to use a fanny pack to hold when it's not in use. Similarly a credit card sized phone would also be less than useful. But if you have a thickness you feel is appropriate then anything thicker would be undesirable.
Yep! We're modifying our B-2s so that we can drop pre-built fast food places. Gonna drop them right into your parks. They'll just pop up one night when you least expect them.
That is largely the difference, yes. Every little bad thing goes viral on Facebook, so despite violent crime being lower than it has been for decades we have a ton of people afraid to go outside because some nut shot a few people on the other side of the country. People are trained and conditioned to be afraid constantly be cause that sells advertising space on the news and makes political control easier.
And when no one steps in to do the job? I guess things will just fall in line and everyone will be nice and wonderful to each other if we just get rid of those evil cops, right?
Now now, don't go bringing FACTS of all things into this. This is about FEELINGS, and it FEELS better to be righteously indignant over a non-story that's been manipulated into national news.
But that would require work, introspection and probably most critically (and unacceptably) a discussion about race. Far easier to blame police, or guns.
Juries are supposed to be impartial and are usually not involved in the crime. Community review of police actions would likely be getting done by the same people affected by it, thus the people will have an emotional reaction, not a rational one.
As for democracy, I agree, sadly there's probably no better system we can use.
Psh, politics are crazy everywhere. We're looking at possibly having our first actually socialist president here. Also we're likely on the verge of a massive re-alignment as the Republican party is losing voters on some critical wedge issues they've been using for a long time, their party is dying off and unless they figure out a way to attract more young people they're kinda screwed.

I don't think the sugar grower's lobby is very strong in America. If it was we wouldn't have HFCS at all.
100% of people who have died have consumed water at some point in their lives.

In America if their homes are nearby it's usually allowed, but because of urban sprawl it's fairly uncommon as well.

Your own immune system is your biggest enemy. Don't piss it off.
Sounds like it wants a fight, I'm gonna get myself some HIV and fight back!
It's not "chaos", it's "freedom"!

That's coming, I'm sure. Congress will dictate that the program needs to be run by Lockheed for $10 billion dollars.

HEY! That's TOO FAR! You'll eat at Arby's and you'll LIKE IT!

"Don't like it? Get another job."
And when no one steps in to do the job? I guess things will just fall in line and everyone will be nice and wonderful to each other if we just get rid of those evil cops, right?
But that means I can't be righteously indignant about it, so it must be wrong.

Shadowrun when? Come on now I want my wired reflexes and datajack!

And then you take them aside and train them more. If they fail the training consistently then they get retired from their duties to the flock.
And how would that be determined before handing the case over?

Yep, same with rape. By the time you get to court, even if you have a very strong defense, you're already totally fucked.
Here in the states it seems that a grim, paranoid society is the end goal of the media in general.
