Update from the War on Drugs
Well you're about to see whether or not a fat tax works, because in a couple of years Denmark will have solid figures to show you. That's part of how evidence-based policy works. Try things, then a few years later, evaluate their performance. It beats banging to the drum of some blind ideal like "TAXATION IS ALWAYS BAD, AVOID ANY POLICY THAT INVOLVES TAX!!!11" Yes, because this is the first time that a sin tax has ever been applied. >_

Update from the War on Drugs
I dont know if they get charged more then they ultimately consume but they certainly have far higher insurance premiums. High risk = pay more, just like high risk drivers pay higher premiums for their car insurance.

Dead State needs help
Interesting. Why would they go to a forum looking for programmers? Cheap / free labor?

Update from the War on Drugs
There is no such thing as "free". The burden of every single handout in borne by the taxpayer. Now you've created a way to get high on the taxpayers dime.

Burqa Ban Backlash

Dagnabit! I just bought BGII + Expansion last week for full price.- What you did today
You can put noses on that list too. I once nicked my nostril while shaving my upper lip and the damn thing bled so long I thought I was going to need a transfusion, lol.- Dragon Age 2
Maybe that stagnation is what opened the door for a WRPG to sell so well there?- What you did today
You just get laid off?- Movies you've seen recently
Already happened (pic).- Movies you've seen recently
It's a digitally created semi-nude of Jessica Alba, not the real thing? She was actually wearing a sports bra type top and exercise shorts.. They just cgi'd it out and gave the "artist's impression". But it is a fun film. She was never fully nude in the movie anyway. The shot you speak of was a shower scene, shown from the side, with her arm strategically blocking the good bits. Surprisingly, Lindsay Lohan let the girls out in full view.- Movies you've seen recently
Machete. Plenty of gratuitus violence and nudity, whats not to love! - Goodbye GOG.com
