Frys is cool - they have tons of computer parts cheap. Only place in town you
can actually see a server case in person before buying it. I'll take Fry's.

That is not any fast food chains fault.

I used to talk smack about McDonald's, but they have gotten a lot better.
I get their fruit and yogurt parfait. Their new whole wheat bun thing on
my wife's chicken sandwich is really good bread. (She can't eat bread or
anything made with flour, so I eat the top bun). That's once every couple
of months when we stop there. Unlike some parents I know, who tell their
two year old "do you want Burger KIng? Do what I said now and we'll go
get Burger King", we won't be taking our kids there more than a few times
per year at most. Yes, the parents I know who bribe their kid with Burger
King are obese and their two year old is obese. Strangely, I live near a
McDonald's and I Wendy's and my wife and I are thin - because we behave
like grown ups and make our own decision not to super size it three times
a day.
I'm not surprised to hear people tear into McDonald's. Some people think
it's the companies selling us stuff who should monitor our consumption of
it and make sure we're healthy, while other people think individuals are
responsible for our own decisions. What's strange as heck to me is that
most people who blame the sellers for over consumption think pornographers
are responsible for at least much bad as McDonald's, creating all of these
perverts, damaging marriages, keeping people at home spending money
whacking off all the time instead of getting out into life. That's ridiculous,
of course, your customers are basically responsible for their own decisions
and have to monitor their own consumption of porn, not way over doing it.
We all realize that, I think. Can you not see that you are responsible for
choosing how much to eat and what to eat just as much as your customer
is responsible for choosing how much time to spend on your site and which
site they want to go to?
