It seemed like a big mistake to have such a big price gap.

I'm surprised by the willingness to label it child neglect or abuse. That's a very serious charge, and at what threshold do you hold the parents responsible?

It may be because my wife teaches PE, but I do agree that getting kids moving is a huge component of childhood obesity. My bad for not clarifying. What I was asking was how do we get parents to buy in to the balanced diet and exercise. I'm talking as a society, not necessarily from a government perspective. There is a lot of programs out there already that are trying to change the fast food and diabetes culture. But they don't seem to be winning. I just think that if we are going to raise havoc over the government getting involved in our health, then we need to have alternative solutions that preclude that involvement.

I'm not pro-regulation, but I do wonder what you folks suggest to do in order to break the cycle of childhood obesity we are currently mired in?

Hmm, I can see some concern with that wording, but it is still remarkably vague. Alcohol is already pretty heavily taxed, labelled and limited in the US, I don't see what they could feasibly change. We aren't going back to prohibition anytime soon.

Where does the article go into details about regulation? It reads more like an informational campaign to me. No duh.

Actually that is probably a blessing. I assume you got the information from the person who rear ended you, and if your bumper needs to be replaced, it doesn't really matter that it has a second ding in it. Then you don't have to worry about chasing down the hit and run, and getting into a dispute over it.

This weekend we went with a big group around to a bunch of local wineries and did barrel tasting. I'm not big on wine, but it was pretty cool. I brought a large picnic basket along with cheese, crackers, and apples, and that was a good idea. I did start to taste the difference between french style and italian style wines though.

I feel like the context was missing in whatever was funny about those comics that Cultist posted.

Well if you enjoy Edward Norton, it is one of his best roles.

I've never been a big fan of Bruno Mars, but he's doing a pretty nice job with the halftime show. Probably one of the better ones I've seen, although still about a thousand levels behind Prince shredding his guitar in the middle of a monsoon.

Wow, Hoffman was really young. Many of his roles seem to parallel this outcome.

What do you folks think is the percentage of actual police brutality versus false claims of brutality? Take the video above, the girl is clearly resisting. Do you consider that police brutality? It looks like a pretty standard procedural arrest. It's very nice the officer was willing to explain himself afterwards. Resisting arrest is a dumb idea, the police have the right to take you into custody.

Most departments are getting there. In my city they all carry cameras on their chest, as well as the vehicle cams. It's the best defense against false reports of abuse and litigation.

Yeah, I read a few comments about people complaining the developer didn't implement all the improvements the early access folks brought up. I guess that is the risk you run with a paid beta, but some people are really unrealistic about what they think a developer can pull off in a certain timeframe.

I've been slowly working my way through the Seagal blog, it is fantastic. I pretty much saw all of them until he started in with the direct to video ones.

The only problem with replaying the older M&M games is they look horrible. Seriously, they just did not age well.

Heh, I paid around 12% this year, but the government wants 15%. It's actually the state that is killing me. I have my federal under $1000 at this point, but the state wants another $2200. Geez.

I'm seriously hoping they release new content ASAP. I'm burning through this game and I really want more! Other than Legend of Grimrock, we don't really have a lot of other options for this type of fix. I'm a bit concerned about all the negative nellies I see on the internet. I know this game isn't perfect, but it is such an awesome return to a long forgotten genre, and I hope it makes enough money to keep it going.
