    It may be owned by a foreign company, but the same recipe is being used. Well, until very recently when different styles of budweiser have come out. Ownership has nothing to do with it, think about recipe and history. Let's not try to get out of it by technicality, alone.

    Microbrews are the only savior, in America.

    In America, it is illegal to call anything beer that has a reasonable percentage of alcohol.

    This line says it all, and the bolded out part indeed. "reasonable" is a word that is of perspective alone. If you're going to attempt to make fun of something, at least use amounts, instead of personal perspectives.

    Considering brew your own is legal in most countries where beer is legal and you can avoid the tax, be your own nano-brewery.

    It also requires you to do quite a bit of work, for one specific purpose: alcohol.

    So, it's a passive way to attempt to poke fun. It didn't work, but it was an attempt.

    Nice passive aggressive way to try and "prove" beer doesn't taste good.

    The only beer taste that has to grow on you are American "major" brews such as budweiser, coors, and a couple of others. It's just a way for people to accept it's bad flavor and dumb it down in their brain.

    Aside from that, I've tasted beers that taste better than food itself!

    black holes aren't fictitious, purely mathematical constructs.

    Look in the center of your own galaxy. It's not even that complex, it's just an out of control gravity well that drags complex matter in and crushes it down to it's minimal components. (radiation) It's not much more complex than that.

    For 5-10% of the population, morality takes place in these decisions as well. If I'm wrong on the percentage and it's more, that's a good thing. I'm being realistic, however.

    This post alone is a great poster child to why the whole electric car thing hasn't taken off yet.
    It doesn't have to be cheaper than what you have, it has to be more common sense. Notice the GP didn't say it was cheaper, they said "with a range of around 50-100 miles as long as it's clearly priced and marketed as a supplementary vehicle".

    Nowhere there does it say it's cheaper than a gasoline car.
