What foods do you consider natural? Give examples. You will find with some research that there is no such thing as natural foods. Calling him a typical fucking American, like that is some kind of insult actually shows your total lack of knowledge. The US is more diverse than the entirety of Europe, there is no such thing as a typical American.

Yeah, because Coke and Pepsi really need to advertise, and Budweiser always sells more beer because they advertise.

Look, you can keep trying to say that because people spend money on it, it must still be working, however, smarter people than I have run scientific studies showing that advertising just doesn't work as well as was thought previously. Try it yourself if you like, buy an advertisement for something and see how much interest you get. Digital media has shown the advertisers that ads just don't work. The clickthrough on advertisements in digital media is abismal. It is widely considered now that the traditional media advertising response rates was wildly inflated and was likely nowhere near what it was claimed to be.

But I'm the one without a valid function...have a GOOD day to you too.

It is considered confidential and PII, and should be controlled in that manner. I agree fully that they screwed up, but unfortunately, the gov organization in charge of information security (NSA - communcations, DISA - computers) isn't allowed to tell them to get their act together.

As far as I know, the NSA isn't involved too much in the investigation. I do expect heads will roll over this though, it is just a matter of getting to the bottom of it.

Sure, you have the right to bear arms, it is getting them off the bear that is usually the issue.

I am against most forms of gun control. The gun control we currently have is generally suitable for purpose, though according to the constitution, "congress shall make no law" is pretty clear.

Having sensible restrictions (no felons, no serious mental illnesses) makes sense, also, requiring a safety course before the first purchase, and maybe every 5 years makes good sense. Beyond that, it is a constitutional issue, congress is legally not allowed to make ANY laws restricting gun ownership, so the Dems should be happy with what they have and that we don't take that away.
