So what? You don't need a car capable of traveling over 80 MPH, either. You certainly don't need a crotch rocket that can do 180. Yet those are perfectly legal to buy and almost certainly a greater risk to your health and safety.
Ah, but that's a pretty limited claim, isn't it? It would be literally true if Americans who were wealthy non-Hispanic whites had the third-best outcomes in the world...
They use much stronger language in their other claims - "at or near the bottom", e.g. - so it stands to reason that the change in tone means a change in strength of claim.
HFCS in soft drinks is 55% fructose, 42% glucose, the rest water. Sucrose is 50% glucose, 50% fructose. Cane sugar is not appreciably better for you than HFCS, though it does have a slightly different sweetness profile. You're confusing cane sugar with pure glucose.
Better solution: stop eating carbohydrates, stop drinking carbohydrates. Lose huge amounts of weight without working out.
"Eat locally" is a conceit of people who live in northern California, i.e. somewhere that a climate capable of growing almost any plant on earth can be found within 200 miles of where you live. For the rest of us, it's not such a great solution.
Wal-Mart generally does not have a small grocery section. I can't speak for Vons, but Ralphs is a Kroger brand (though the only time I've been in one, it was a dinky one in Beverly Hills or West Hollywood), and I've shopped at Albertsons as well. Wal-Mart is cheaper and has at least as good a selection as any major US chain, which is unsurprising because they have as much floor space dedicated to food as a normal supermarket does (just think about how much space is taken up by the pharmacy, personal care products, and that giant "seasonal" aisle in the middle). About the only thing that I can get at Kroger that I can't get at Wal-Mart is the large international food selection, but even then Wally World has most of it - just not all in one place. (I still have to go to Kroger to get a Nestle Lion bar fix.)
US Dollars are the only form of money accepted by the US government in payment of taxes. So long as people fear the government enough to think that not paying taxes -> go to jail, that is the value of the US dollar: it's not the power to tax, so much as it is the power to demand payment for those taxes in one specific form.
There's no creepy factor to live theater. It looks strange to watch stuff like that on a screen. Kind of like lens flare - artificially added because we expect it to be there in movies. It aids the suspension of disbelief.
That is a very, very bold statement. I don't know of any place you could get adequate data on this - in particular, we don't really know what the most heavily armed parts of the country are in anything like the detail we need (e.g., census-tract or smaller units). Care to share?
It's essentially impossible to do so. Influenza itself is not guaranteed to appear in the list of factors contributing to death on the death certificate. Respiratory failure, bronchitis, pneumonia, sepsis, cardiomyopathy, multi-system organ failure - all are likely to be true. Who knows if you'll get "influenza" on that list?
Most American employees work for someone who offers sick leave. However, most larger organizations also charge the first day or two against personal leave (aka vacation) to prevent abuses. Often this day will be "refunded" if people get a doctor's excuse.
Here is the choice: if you work in health care, you have to get it. Anything else is irresponsible. Don't like it? There are plenty of fields, choose a different one.
Sick leave is available, but most employers have a policy that the first day or two days of sick leave come out of personal leave (I.e., vacation) because otherwise lazy slobs call in sick when they're not in order to use medical leave like extra vacation.
The injectable vaccine used in the US civilian population is incapable of giving you influenza. It might make you feel bad, but it can't actually give you the disease. CDC if you don't trust me.
You may feel ill, but unless the military is giving something very different from the civilian vaccine then it can't actually give you the flu. We've used a dead virus vaccine for a long time.

No, no, no. You forgot Shoes between Electronics and Dog Food.
Pacifism, as our dear friend Orwell noted, is objectively pro-Fascist. And pro-Communist. No thanks.

Thank you, folks, he's going to be here all week; try the chicken and be sure to tip your server well.
What's ironic about it? Powerful tools are powerful tools.

That is the guy who nominated Souter...
less crime than heavily armed parts of the US

I've seen pink/black camo patterns in clothing plenty of times...
Go to a hardware store and look for an N95 Respirator mask. That will protect you against everything (including TB) if it's properly fitted.

FWIW, the live-virus polio vaccine (OPV) is no longer given in the US.

Whoosh...
I wouldn't call anyone Gen Y who wasn't American or possibly Canadian. Difference of usage, I suppose.
