Nearly one-fifth of American 4-year-olds are obese. -- (link) - Don Homer Apr 7, 06:44 28
- there's no excuse for that. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 06:50 24
  - *nods* and yesterday I saw something on tv about the abundance of sugary drinks (pop, sports drinks, juice, etc.) that kids and teens are consuming... - zork Apr 7, 07:23 23
    - seriously, that stuff is killing our kids. I don't mean to be overdramatic, but there's zero excuse for how much of that stuff kids consume. - loosilu Apr 7, 07:24 19
      - there's no need to regularly drink sports concoctions nor pop. Juice at least has some nutrients. I mostly drink milk and water and tea. -- nm - zork Apr 7, 07:29 18
        
        juice has very few nutrients compared to the caloric costs. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:30 17
        
        still, it's better than pop by far -- nm - zork Apr 7, 07:33 15
        
        it's really not. just about the same amount of calories. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:33 14
        
        --- but manufacturers have convinced most people juice is nutritious, which is part of the problem. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:34 13
        
        ok, but I'd still rather they have a taste for fruit and hopefully eat some of the real stuff more often. -- nm - zork Apr 7, 07:35 4
        
        see, this is part of the problem. you're giving them a taste of the junk, which of course they're going to like better. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:36
        
        if you want kids to like fruit, you don't give them soda. give them fruit. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:36 2
        
        *concedes* -- nm - zork Apr 7, 07:37 1
        
        it's like giving kids ice cream and saying "Maybe it will make t hem want skim milk." -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:38
        
        it's better than soda, at least. -- nm - znufrii Apr 7, 07:34 7
        
        It's really not. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:35 6
        
        "Juice is as bad as soda, docs say." -- (link) - loosilu Apr 7, 07:36 5
        
        and I'm sure their are dozens of scientists who will say the exact opposite. There always are -- nm - Beaker Apr 7, 07:40 4
        
        in this case, you will not find them. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:41 3
        
        in any case, I grew up drinking juice because I was allergic to milk. - znufrii Apr 7, 07:42 1
        
        how is juice a sub for milk? - loosilu Apr 7, 07:43
        
        ... unless they work for the juice industry. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:41
        
        ...besides which, I doubt many American kids are vitamin C deficient. Manufacturers put that crap in everything. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:31
    - alot of that sort of thing have been banned in schools around here -- nm - Beaker Apr 7, 07:24 2
      - doesn't that just mean that it's not sold there? not that they cannot bring the junk in. plus there's after school consumption (while sitting around p - zork Apr 7, 07:31 1
        
        not sold there is a good step. but yes, kids bring in appalling amounts of sugar. My sister tells me what the kindergartners eat. holy shit. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:32
- May I make a modest proposal? -- nm - Jonathan Swift Apr 7, 06:47 1
  - Om nom nom. -- nm - mara Apr 7, 07:03

suck it, Krusty! -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 06:34 29
- You have to ask nicer than that. -- nm - Krusty Apr 7, 06:37 26
  - heh. you check the scores? -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 06:37 25
    - I'm not trying to grow quickly anymore, I'm working on being more balanced. If I wanted to have the highest score, I would. -- nm - Krusty Apr 7, 06:39 11
      - I'm just teasing. still working on military myself. this morning I find myself with all my ships out on a long hunting trip, - loosilu Apr 7, 06:40 10
        
        I know. :-) I've been on the DL the last few days. Not feeling all that well lately. -- nm - Krusty Apr 7, 06:42 9
        
        did you get good drugs? -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 06:43 8
        
        No, bastard! Tylenol 3. -- nm - Krusty Apr 7, 06:44 7
        
        what, that's good stuff! -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 06:47 6
        
        Ehh...I wanted to some morphine. ;-) -- nm - Krusty Apr 7, 06:50 5
        
        I got percocet for my wisdoms, which made me puke, so I got switched to the V. mmmmmm. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 06:50 4
        
        The 'cets do the same to me. Percocet and darvocet both make me wish I was dead. -- nm - TWuG Apr 7, 06:51 3
        
        I'll keep that in mind. Vomiting with a mouth full of stitches was - loosilu Apr 7, 06:53 2
        
        Yikes. That sounds terrible. -- nm - Krusty Apr 7, 07:00 1
        
        not as bad as - loosilu Apr 7, 07:16
    - impressive -- nm - psilotum Apr 7, 06:38 12
      - I still have to take down that vermin-encrusted Canadian goatbanger. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 06:39 11
        
        Dignan? His score is so high becuase he has a very small military. -- nm - Krusty Apr 7, 06:40 10
        
        yikes, he's quite a target. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 06:41 9
        
        He knows and he's working on it. He has no threats near him so he didn't think he needed to focus on his military much. -- nm - Krusty Apr 7, 06:44 8
        
        I have not been hit yet and it's creeping me out. I should be, given my location. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 06:44 7
        
        honestly, I think I might have overbuilt my military for the area i'm in. - znufrii Apr 7, 07:07 1
        
        better to be prepared than get nailed though. -- nm - Beaker Apr 7, 07:40
        
        I got hit multiple times by a level 20 town when I was a level 3 and 4. Nothing since I joined the alliance. - Krusty Apr 7, 06:49 4
        
        That's a fair concern. Unfortunatel a few folks like to go hit actives and then beg for help when they're hit back. - TWuG Apr 7, 06:50 3
        
        word -- nm - Beaker Apr 7, 07:25
        
        exactly. I'm not going to defend someone who should have been defending themselves. That's all dependent on the situation though. - Krusty Apr 7, 07:05 1
        
        word again -- nm - Beaker Apr 7, 07:26

  - You really didn't like the other 3? - kelly Apr 7, 06:24 1

    - They've had very great hitters at any position in their history. Only like 6 or 7 guys with even 200 HRs total. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 7, 06:09 1

The Matrix 10th Anniversary edition Blu-ray in hand! The case is actually a hardcover book. Sexy. I'm pumped to watch this tonight. -- nm - General Shaun Apr 7, 05:56 12
- The timing of this movie's release couldn't have been worse for The Phantom Menace because it was a real game changer. Granted TPM dropped the ball on - HdnAgnda Apr 7, 06:06 9
  - what made most shake their heads was the SE eps 3-6 being fantastic, that was the true let down in comparison to TPM, not the Matrix. -- nm - Stacy Apr 7, 06:25 8
    - I have to disagree with that. Matrix presented the public with cutting edge special effects that wowed us. The action was fast-paced and the story - HdnAgnda Apr 7, 06:33 6
      - I like JarJar, ok I admit I liked the TPM too, and I agree about the MAtrix Special effects. But I have a hard time comparing Star Wars to anything - Stacy Apr 7, 06:37 5
        
        I can appreciate that approach. But I think from a general public perspective I am on the right track. -- nm - HdnAgnda Apr 7, 06:40 4
        
        the Matrix changed the landscape. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 06:44 2
        
        I think it was the deepest movie I had ever seen up until that point. -- nm - Stacy Apr 7, 06:49 1
        
        well, I meant in terms of effects. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 06:51
        
        I would agree -- nm - Stacy Apr 7, 06:41
    - The SE releases were their own disappointment. - znufrii Apr 7, 06:27
- I saw that movie about a year before it came out as a sneak preview. -- nm - Stacy Apr 7, 06:01
- 10 years since Matrix. Yikes. -- nm - HdnAgnda Apr 7, 05:58

  - daunte? Culpepper isnt on the Raiders anymore. You mean JaMarcus Russell? -- nm - Stacy Apr 7, 05:44 2
    - My bad. Russell. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 7, 05:47 1
