I can't think of any other movie that has been remade as soon after the original as this. This is kind of sad and I have absolutely no desire to see it.
How long did Hulk take?
I'm now realizing this is a reboot...if that's correct. Could have sworn this was the third and they were going the Fast and the Furious route for naming movies all funny.

I want people to be healthy, which leads to happiness generally. You also gain better brain function which in turn will cause better habits.
Clearly everybody that eats out in this topic has salads and everyone who cooks at home fries food. Clearly....
Y'all really think people who eat out for convenience are choosing healthy options?

Why are you guys so aggressively defending restaurants? I'm sensing some insecurity.
I'm concerned for people who need others to cook for them. Sounds like most do it for convenience and ease and rarely does that create good habits.

When do you consider health?

The stories I hear constantly, and working around food myself, I know most people don't put love into it; it's a job. If they can get away with serving that last piece of meat they wouldn't eat themselves, then it's good for the business.
If they accidentally serve something old and get away with it, then that's good for the business.
If it drops on the floor for a second, and no one cares, they'll serve it instead of toss it.

Relying on someone else to feed you, especially when all they want is profits, sounds very unwise and unhealthy.

How often should someone go out to eat, within reason?
I always grew up with it being a treat and strongly agree with that.
When it comes to health, I know it's better to cook at home.

I've always figured maybe once a month is okay and not more than once a week, especially if it's full meals.
Fast food should be a final option when you need something quick but not good. Seems like maybe advertising is convincing people it is acceptable to have fast food often.

When I talk to others, especially in the 20 year old age group, some say up to twice a week seems okay. These are generally impulsive people who are highly influenced by others.

Thoughts? Is the trend of having someone else cook for you, once your parents stop, going in the right direction? This is mainly about fast food, but I'm including chain restaurants as well.

The best way I found to make them was from Nathan's. Butter and oil pan fried. More butter than oil. Super unhealthy, but yummy.

I've done a similar method with a couple extra steps.
I'll add water to the bottom of the fry pan, like maybe cover half of the bottom. Let the hot dogs cook in that while it boils off, then I toss in butter to crisp up the outside.
It makes a great hot dog!

I do like sausage, but as the main consumer, I stick to hot dogs since my girlfriend is more of a fan of those over sausage.
I'm not picky which doesn't help with the health aspect. I should probably stick to higher quality brands or maybe chicken franks. I guess trying to avoid chemicals could help.

Lordy do I love them! My mom points out it's always been my weakness and my girlfriend pointed out last night I have finished a pack to myself in a week.

Anyone have a love affair with them?

Beef is so tasty and juicy, but I love them all. It's great how cheap they can be, keyword being cheap. I typically buy bar-s, but will buy nathan's, oscar meyer, and others when they're on sale. Smokies may be my favorite cause I love pork.

If you had to cut back on them, what other meaty snack would you suggest? I almost think boiled eggs or beef jerky. I just love the ease and variety ways of making a hot dog.

Most of it depends on location. In my area, I am technically upper class, but if I had the same income in say LA, I would be considered lower class.

By your metric of wealthy people, I am in poverty though...

I'm not saying it's my metric. I think it may be reality but I don't have any sources to back it up.

I mean, does anybody really wanna consider themself working poor? It's a depressing reality.

If I had to put an arbitrary number on it, I'd probably say at about 32k a year, you're not too low on the pole and should be able to afford luxuries like vacations, large TVs and what not, without having to scrape by for it.

I do feel most people say they're middle class not knowing that they're lower class.
I feel "wealthy", but rarely am I above the second spot for annual salaries on a survey.

Whenever I hear middle class, I ask, "what is that even?". I've heard 250k from wealthy people, and among the less wealthy, it muddles.
America has a lot of poor people who at least don't feel it as much and wouldn't say they're poor.

I literally just told you most people the tropics dress like this. As such the above question is very silly when all my female relatives/friends etc have been dressed like that to varying degrees. The younger girls (some) push the limit by wearing deliberately too small bikini tops with their boobs near spilling out. They're fishing for attention which is normal for young people. The young guys walk around in short pants with their shirts off showing off their 6 packs. Heck older toned (and not so toned) men do too. Really this girl here looks very standard to me. Not even on the level of the attention seekers I mentioned. You claim to be in some college town but sound extremely conservative.

You're right. She's young and should show off her body. Fishing for attention while being a parent is okay.
I understand now I'm wrong.

Again, what does exposed skin have to do with morality? "It's not moral" does absolutely nothing to justify the belief that it's not moral.

When someone is exposing skin in a public place, it is usually for others to observe.
Look at the comments here. She's a cutie and being praised for her looks. I'm not exactly hearing anything about intelligence or great parental skills. She could be smart and a great parent, but it's certainly not what's being talked about. I'm seeing milf comments...

MeteoricBurst posted...
You'd be wrong since our good friend Pedro here thinks short shorts are a moral infraction. Imagine me here in the tropics where it's always hot with at least 80% humidity and most people dress skimpy outside the office. Truly I am awash in sin and decadence.

I think you all are confusing as to what I'm driving at.
I'm saying she can do what she wants and the park can handle this as she wants.

My concern is how it got this far and how it'll affect the child. I'm not saying ban anything.

I guess if I had one question for most people, would you want her as your mom or...as your friend's mom?

I should probably stop responding at this point cause my feet are very deep in my mouth. If I've offended someone, I'm sorry. That is not my intentions. I guess I wish this article was about a mom outsmarting six flags and developing new technology or something.

Exposing a little booty in public is not exactly righteous and moral. Not everyone wants to see that. I don't mind certainly. I work in a college town, so the people here don't wear much...if possible.

But just cause it's common doesn't make it much better...
If you wanna stay cute, that's fine, but wear condoms or use some birth control unless you wanna pass off insecurities to the next generation.

As far as the park handling all this...I mean, up to them. Sounds like the family was doing something to keep catching a security guard's eye (daughter riding her heelys I guess) and then they power tripped over her shorts. I'm sure the company will do whatever to make themselves look good in this situation to keep their pockets fat.

That's not really body shaming so much as low-key slut shaming. She's not being berated for her body, she's being berated for showing off "too much" of it.

Moral issues are tough.
You probably shouldn't be a parent if you're still advertising your goods for breeding, but we're meant to breed so there's nothing that should stop you.
I feel bad for her kids. If they didn't know much about their mom, they're gonna learn a lot.
As a non-parent, I feel bad for most kids. There's a shortage of parents but instead a bunch of accidents from breeders with no respect for themselves.

Still doesn't change the fact that its dumb to do something that can land you in prison for decades.

I would understand breaking a laws that are unjust that disciminate or segregate. But breaking drug laws are the most dumbest thing that one can do unless they have no choice or something.

Think about what you're saying.

We're giving ourselves choices with things that are typically non violent and usually a victimless crime.

Because it's illegal, you are denying yourself a freedom. It's just burning a plant to inhale...

It's dumb that it is illegal for some people.

I've never understood this? Why does the dollar amount of the transaction matter?

Credit card companies charge to allow their cards to be used. It's less common now, but some places really wouldn't accept them.
I think maybe once in the past decade I was asked to use cash on a small purchase cause the store would have lost money if I used a card.

That's why some still advertise as "accepted everywhere" and why some cards sometimes are not.
