Good thing there isn't a (-1 Godwin) mod, or else I wouldn't be able to point out that Germany hosting the Olympics didn't effect Hitler much either.
Everyone's perfectly fine with facism, as long as they get their bread and circuses. Look at how many dictatorships promote the Hell out of their soccer teams, for example.
That all those new agers, wannabe wiccans, shamans and the like, when they thought they were performing their little ceremonies at what they thought was a temple, were actually desecrating a graveyard?
Well, technically a lot of people are essentially brainwashed into overeating during childhood. Especially by first and second generation "old world" immigrant parents, you know, from the very same European countries who now like to blast away willy nilly at the US for every conceivable reason.
You know, the old "Eat every bite.", "You don't get to go to play or bed until that plate is clean.", and that old chestnut, "Don't you know there's children starving in (insert country here)?".
Even worst are the OLD old world descendants who have a policy of beating the shit out of their kids if there's so much as a pea remaining on their plate. I grew up with one of those in the 70s, and that can be awfully scarring.
Thanks Europe! Maybe you should pay more attention to your own problems, instead of blaming fat people.
I dunno how to tell you this, but they still use leeches today (for their anti coagulant properties). Not only that, but doctors use maggots too! Bugs are useful for lots of stuff. Bet you didn't know that silk used in surgery originally comes out of the butt of a caterpillar too.
Poverty is one of the major contributers to global warming, as well as obesity.
Poor people:
Cannot afford to maintain their vehicles as often as they should, said vehicles therefore put out more pollutants and consume more gas.
Tend to get whatever the cheapest food on the market is. Have you ever read the nutritional data on most prepared foods, meal kits, or staples such as ramen noodles? These food "products" are incredibly high in starches, high fructose corn syrup (believed by many to be linked to both obesity and diabetes), fats, and salt.
Can't afford to buy Dom Perignon like so many rich skinny people would like them to, opting instead for the cheapest possible booze, such as beer, which comes with a massive caloric load.
And of course, the poorer families are, the more often parents hold two or more jobs, which of course leads again to commuting in inefficient cars with higher pollutant outputs, AND additional stress which also causes them to put on more weight.
Methinks those scientists ought to go outside into the real world for a change, instead of commiting hate crimes.
Yes, I said hate crimes. Just as you cannot change your sexual preferences or color to suit others, you cannot change your endocrine systems to do so either (there are actual medical conditions which can lead to obesity, so you can't just chalk it up to greed being the chief cause).
Seriously, this goes above and beyond any attempt I could make at a sophisticated response.
THE GIRL FUCKING KILLED HERSELF!!!
It doesn't matter what you perceive as anything she could have done, there's an old adage: Let the punishment FIT the crime. What had she done that required her to be manipulated into suicide?
Her "friend" and her "friend's mother" knew she was mentally emotionally unstable, and had not only the choice not to pursue their course of action, but the choice to stop it when (or if) they realized they were going too far.
For lack of a better basis for comparison, in a manner that might get through that microcephalic cranium of yours (fuck it, I have karma to burn baby):
It's like shooting everyone in the family, and burning down the house of a kid who egged your house on Halloween.
That is the extent of it. Even if someone is gossiping behind your back, you do NOT have the right to harass them to the point of suicide! What the hell do you think this is? A live action version of Heathers?
In American rating systems, one of the chief rules that seperates rated R from X, is the number of thrusts seen on screen in any sex scene (hence all those rapid cuts you see in any given sex scene).
So are the Brits going to determine violent pornography by how many times someone swats their partner on the ass, saying "Who's yer daddy?"?
And he was issued a new contract once again, but this one was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'."
After years of people telling me to switch over to Gimp from Photoshop, I was thinking of doing so. But if looking it up based on Slashdot articles includes the risk of malware being installed on my system, then forget it.
Go ahead and mode me trollbait, but it's the truth. Slashdot should have actually reviewed the article before putting it hear.
Mine did the same, and I don't even get to read the interview, because it automatically kicks me over to some stupid ad site. I'd say turning off javascript is in order.
Maybe it's a memory fart, but I recall going through a similar procedure way back when, with Windows 95 requiring I simply pop in a Windows 3.1 floppy (regardless of if it was authentic or not) in order to install a full copy onto a blank HD. Ahhh those were the days.
I have a basic 1080P 32" HDTV, and noticed the so-called HD channels had some measure of artifacting to them, to the naked eye. The refreshed every 1/4 to 1/2 second compared to the areas where there were more frequent movements. It gets pretty blotchy too, at times I'd swear that they were playing FMV on a 32 bit game CD.
Unless the moon suddenly experienced a swapping of diameters, due to its being smaller than the Earth's shadow, it's NEVER going to have a period where there is constant sunlight.

Just like on a Windows PC, you get zombies.
Hence the "Crisis" crisis (tm). Everything is a "crisis".
Funny, I thought it was "FUCK YEAH!" (from Team America: World Police)

I'd post it here, but
That all those new agers, wannabe wiccans, shamans and the like, when they thought they were performing their little ceremonies at what they thought was a temple, were actually desecrating a graveyard?
Ouch.
To paraphrase Monty Python's Albatross sketch, "What blooming flavor? He's bloody dead bloody corpse bloody flavor!".
Yeah, I recall something along those lines, building a long range wi-fi antenna with a Pringles can, right?

Your comment was plainly "Go to a website that said she deserved it for the rest of the story". Shit, the website was NAMED that.
If the mom was so innocent, then why would she name the blogspot site "Megan had it coming"?
Are you retarded? Or just trolling?

After turning off javascript, I finally got to the site. First thing you see is "Stolen from Softpedia" for the graphics.

Too bad the article can't be modded down, I'm guessing

We won't shut up about anything we do, and are damned proud of it!
Praise 'Bob'!
That's because, sadly, instead of exploring mankind's future, the powers that be decided that exploring mankind's end was more profitable.
Wait... What?!?
