TFA describes the potential classification as similar to caffeine and salt, so I'm not too worried about that. Most of the vegans I know do most of their own cooking, and considering you can buy salt in gigantic bags or large boxes/cardboard cans, I think they'll be fine. The implication of the article seemed to be that it would mostly affect restaurants and processed/prepared food products, though it never actually stated this explicitly.
Consuming poison is amazingly popular. Between alcohol, tobacco, and countless other products (many of which are amazingly popular yet people don't look at the label), you'll find it in a lot of our era's favourites.
As long as we have a huge defecit and an even more gigantic debt, we will pretty much have to make cuts everywhere. Even things that are "good". What we need to look at is truly necessary.
My Internet connection at home was down for a week, and when we got it going again on Tuesday, I probably wouldn't have even booted up my laptop if I didn't need to get on to pay my student loans. We need to step back and really think about whether we even want what our habits are giving us in the first place.
If I could do that in the States without living somewhere like New York City, and if our public transit systems in places where they are practical weren't a huge invitation to crime, I'd be all over it. As it stands now, I'm in an area with no meaningful public transit (none in the city I work in, period), and where I have worked in places with public transit, the trains didn't actually go anywhere I needed to be.
Phones are so heavily subsidized that between the monthly payment and the deep discounts at time of purchase on the handset itself, the average user will never know nor care.
On the positive side, Microsoft can always find someplace to lose $2bn.
I'm really not interested in proving Card's point. The only point I was making was that Card is free to practice his beliefs, and that believing that someone is doing something sinful does not automatically mean they are filled with hate for that person.
If you want to argue with Card on the matter, write him a letter, email, or find his phone number.
I couldn't be less interested in debating religion here. I only bring up what Christ taught on the subject because Card professes to be a Christian, making it relevant to the topic at hand. If you want to get into a deep philosophical debate, this is the wrong venue.
With the exception of the book (not series), Card is an awful novelist. Whether he's a loony is barely relevant when you consider how bad his writing is most of the time. Ender's Game was an accident if it was anything.
Christ taught that we should love our neighbours as ourselves, but also told sinners to stop doing so. As one who professes to be a Christian, Card has every right to regard sins as sins without hating anyone over it.
The trick is to take them out and run them a bit on a regular basis. Not only will it keep the machine in better working order, but it also improves your understanding of the equipment. Fix a minor quirk here and there, you'll find your generator is more useful to you in a disaster, since that's when you're likely to need that experience.

That depends. Are the transvestites sweet and from Transylvania?
I think we should only allow politicians to breathe at the same hours.

Whoever came up with this policy should get a good firm handshake. And then we can fire the sorry hypocrite.
No, but Apple installs some, and with less ways of exploring it. At least they did back when I had my 3G.
As long as you're using real beef tallow, you should be fine. The article specifies the trans fats have to be artificial.
TFA is more specific than the brief above describes.
Clippy: It looks like you aret trying to write "escargot". Would you like to continue saying "the cargo" in French?
That was my first thought as well. If they ask the impossible, stop giving them anything at all.
Wait 'til they figure out that paedophiles shop at grocery stores!

Wait, by stating that people are free to act according to their beliefs, I am spouting "religious bullshit"? I can see why you're posting AC.
*shrug* I don't follow his personal life. I have too much else going on in my own life to worry about one inconsequential writer.

Well played, sir.
Everyone who cares that much about watching TV does. The rest of people are over that fad and just watch things on DVR or if it's on right now.

Why does hate for others have to enter into it?
Christ taught that we should love our neighbours as ourselves, but also told sinners to stop doing so. As one who professes to be a Christian, Card has every right to regard sins as sins without hating anyone over it.
The true irony is that they are being intolerant in the name of tolerance.
