I pretty much agree with the majority of the European and American commenters decrying the author as a spoiled rube. Having said that, I will take exception to the European commenters claiming the bagels in Europe are “awesome.” While it’s true that it’s not necessarily difficult to find bagels on the European continent, they most certainly are not awesome. They’re pretty bad, in fact. In all fairness, though, American bagels outside of NYC tend to be pretty bad too.

well, the government official said it, so it must be true.

I loved loved loved my twenties. And if you’re in your twenties, enjoy the hell out of them. Would I go back? Not in a million years.

I dunno. I’m an old who used to go 90’s Lollapalooza’s every summer. People were just as “naked” (by which you mostly mean scantily clad) back then too.

Gawd I hate the news media. I don’t particularly feel too strongly about Weiner one way or the other, and of course his twitter mishap should not be off-limits as far as questions from the press are concerned - but we all know that the media will do nothing but ask him about his dick pics, despite the fact that he’s running for mayor, and a reporters job includes informing the public about the positions of the candidates running for office.

you missed the one about fucking your cousin.

Stephen A Smith and his lurchy white counterpart are the reason I no longer watch ESPN.

I agree with you to an extent. However, this country also has an obesity epidemic. And i think you’d agree that we don’t have a skeletal skinny people epidemic. And the obesity epidemic actually is harmful to society at large given the health-related problems that arise from it tend to affect our already astronomical health costs. I am not into “fat-shaming,” but pretending that obesity has no greater impact is incorrect.

“downright unfair”? Gimme a break. There are millions more pressing things in the world than whether one store - out of thousands and thousands of clothing stores - refuses to carry clothes for overweight people. Get some perspective.

screw that, I’ll wait to pirate a decent copy.
