Few things are more American than ignoring bad laws. Hell, that's how this country was founded - by refusing to follow bad laws. Uber / Lyft / other ride-sharing services provide a better service at a better price than taxi companies. Taxi companies could choose to offer better maintained vehicles, more polite drivers, lower fares, etc - but instead they'd rather try and sue their competitors out of business than actually compete.

None of us want to live in Somalia

BINGO! I HAVE BINGO HERE! I love how as soon as anyone mentions government not ruling with an iron fist, collectivists insist that you should move to / want to live in Somalia with utter chaos. So typical and predictable.

Modern obesity has nothing to do with diet, exercise, or lifestyle.

Ah, I see we have a Fat Ass - er, Fat Accceptance proponent. Anyone can lose weight by eating fewer calories than they burn, people like you just like to make excuses for why you're too lazy to do it. Also, I was fat myself (just about to cross into obese-land) and I've lose over 25% of my body weight - so yes, I know exactly what it takes to lose weight.

That's not what this is though. If you heard their actual announcement, it's not backwards compatibility. What they're doing is that if you have a 360 physical game, you can redeem it (no details yet on HOW, sounds like you'll put the disc in the Xbone and it'll auto-redeem) a digital copy. So this will only work for 360 games that are on the Xbone's digital store (they're stating around 100 by Christmas).

Yes, because women initiating 70% of divorces and being treated beyond favorably by the divorce / family courts aren't well documented facts. When there's a greater than 50% chance that you will get divorced and she'll end up with at least 2/3 of your money / assets, any man who decides to get married is an utter moron.
