  1. The French.
  2. Your situation in the US may be different than my country's, but in our case, our cities are either running deficits or are cutting close. The federal and provincial governments have cut taxes, meaning that cities are not getting the financial transfer payments they need; at the same time, those same governments are downloading responsibilities onto cities which is furthering the problem. Naturally, a city needs to find a way to make up for that income, and taxing things like soda is the best option within their limited jurisdiction. You guys will need to get used to this sort of thing, more and more. Especially if your country establishes a public health system. The health of the nation will become everyone's (taxpayer's) business, and unhealthy habits and lifestyles will have an impact come tax time. So why not create incentives that deter unhealthy living?
  3. What's wrong with taxing soda? The stuff's horrible for your health, with a recent study showing that even two cans a week increases the risk of pancreatic cancer dramatically. Plus, your cities are starved for cash, and need to find ways of income.
  4. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
  5. Um, I don't think it was CAFE that nailed Pontiac's coffin shut. After all, fantastic products like the G3 and G5 were great for raising the average fuel economy!
  6. Actually, plenty of evidence shows that foods that contain a lot of salt, as well as fat and sugar trigger a response in the brain to eat more than necessary. Yes, self control is important, but this is North America.
  7. I don't like regulations like this, but given the obesity 'epidemic,' something needs to be done to help curb over-eating, and the health risks of too much fat, and sodium. Increased hypertension is a worrying trend in the population; even those of us who are healthy are consuming too much salt.
  8. Well sure, but how hard would it be to disable that function unless someone pays? Game publishers do it all the time these days, and so do other software developers. 'Personalization' is all the rage today, and companies are cashing in on what are generally frivolous things.
  9. That would be a really cool feature! I'd bet Ford could even charge extra for that 'option' and get away with it.
  10. If you haven't played this game, and you have a decent PC or a console, then you suck. That is all.
  11. :roflmao: I think this one comes close, though.
  12. lol! It'd be even better if it was voiced by the dude who did ' '.
  13. I demand pictures of Hooter's chicks posing with the vehicle after you've made it to Vegas.
  14. Shame there's none of these on your local Craigslist. There is one of these, though. http://springfield.craigslist.org/ctd/1625111602.html Too much EXCITEMENT for one post!
  15. Why do I keep thinking that she wanted that to happen? :/
  16. IT'S JUST LIKE A MINI MALL
  17. Who knows.., who knows...
