I'm currently there for the next few days. What are some safe and fun things to do?

I clap after every plane lands because that's just who I am. Would you look at me differently even if I was the only person clapping on the whole plane?

No. Refer to the first amendment

I think there should be an exception for the 'n' word. That word is more than just a word. It is a symbol of abuse and oppression. That word enforces a negative status quo. It gives undeniable power to those that use it. It's evil.

So you're in favor of arresting/fining the hundreds of thousands of black people and hip hop artists who say this "evil word" daily? If this word is evil, it's evil, right?

Black people have the right to say it. They were the ones that were dealt the abuse of the word. They have the right to do whatever with the word.

The word is disgusting and is on the level of child pornography.

You're trolling, right?

No. It's a bad word. Off topic, but it's terrible how many racists are on these boards.

I find it disgusting when people say that word. Nobody should ever say it. If someone says it, they should be forced to take a racial awareness class kind of like how when police give people driving tickets, they have to go to traffic school. If they keep on saying it, they should seriously go to prison. The word is disgusting and is on the level of child pornography. By saying the word, people show how ignorant they are and how they don't care about past injustices while sticking to the status quo. I have no other words other than how it is disgusting.

Imagine the irony if it destroyed Mar A Lago. (Not killing anybody of course, just destroying the building)

Final bump, and after this, i'll ditch the 50 vote minimum.

Damn, didn't know Kit-Kat was the popular. I'm more of a crunch guy myself.

I think as far as sales go in america, Kit Kats are right behind M&M's and Reese's.

Reese's? Really? I hate those.

youre not getting 50 votes on this poll >_>

I'll wait till I'm dead to get 50 votes on this poll.

I know that there are often nuke tests, but what I mean is a government or terrorists purposely using nukes to attack people.

In the case that TC is joking or trolling I'm sorry, Trump's got my feathers a little rustled and leaving me unable to discern joke from reality

Considering I believe in climate change, it should be easy to tell that this whole topic is a joke.

Do you drive to work? Do you live in a large house? Do you water your lawn? Do you eat meat, specifically beef? If you answered yes to any of those, you're a hypocrite. You are also contributing to the problem.

Yeeeah but there's a difference between shitting in someone's home for your own benefit and shitting in someone's home out of spite, which you admitted yourself when you called yourself an asshole.

I guess that's true, but there are no laws against being an asshole thankfully.

I heard going and fucking yourself is a great way to start

That's offensive and rude towards me. I can do whatever I want as I am an individual. You do not have to agree with me but you cannot be rude.

Pretty rude towards other people to fuck up their home.

What do you even mean by that?

Earth is people's home.

By purposefully trying to acceperate climate change it's like shitting in someone's home.

Burn a lot o coal.

Hmm, I could. Only problem is that coal is dirty and my neighbors could complain about that if they smell it all of the time. Have you tried this before?

I really don't care about the future of this planet. I'll be dead by them and I'm an asshole and want to make others suffer.
I drive an SUV, I don't use solar panels, I live in a large house, I fly a lot. I'm not sure what else I can do that's not super expensive?

where are you going to extract coal from near DC?

I'll import the coal from nearby West Virginia.

bump

If I get fined by the government, so what? Only way they will learn.

In roughly 2067? Must be a terrible place then.

It affects us all.

We need 31 more votes to start the next part of this series guys!

I don't live on that street but I live in an area that has houses that look very similar to that.

I wore a decent amount of AF in college. seems like they failed to remain relevant, though their CEO (last CEO?) was funny always talking. Also nudity in catalogs was fun. So like 5/10.

Ever wear Hollister?

Only 1 vote? Come on guys!

Bumping for Day CE

I feel you're asking for too much with your "take everything about them into account" approach. Most people won't know more than a cursory amount about the majority of these companies and asking them to do research is frankly asking them to put in more effort than it's really worth. If you have to have some sort of guideline, I think it would make more sense to rate them as they are now, so for your Disney example just consider Disney in the past several years or so as opposed to 90 years of history.

I guess that's true. I really want people to take into account the whole company. I don't want them to rate the company a "1" because of one thing they hate. I guess if I shorten my paragraphs and ask about "prestige", which is basically what I am going for, I'll get more accurate answers.

I feel like some people may not read your first post and just vote immediately. I would recommend you to state the question you are asking directly in the poll question.

Seems like a good idea. The more accurate and concise I am, the better. My fear is that people will just look at this and not think about other things such as Hollister. I will do that in the next RTC.

I think the format is getting better for this series. I'm very excited as to where this series will lead.

Welcome to this new series! Over the next few months, I will ask you guys what you think of certain companies on a scale of 1-10 where 10 is the most positive. Basically, I want you guys to rate each company based on prestige. I want you guys to ask yourself this question. How highly do you value the company? Convert your answer to a numerical answer and vote that on the poll. I'm curious as to how this board views certain brands.

Remember: When thinking about a company, think about ALL its parts. For example, if the company is Disney, remember that they own Pixar, Lucasfilm, and Marvel. Also remember everything that the company does. Continuing with the Disney example, take note that they own theme parks, make movies, make clothes, have a cruise line, etc.

Think of the whole company from the start. If the company is Disney, think from the 1920's when Walt Disney started his first animations. Don't base your rating from the last 5 years or so.

The following spreadsheet is a list of all of the companies that this board has reviewed. I only make a new topic for a new company when the topic has 50 votes. You guys are free to make suggestions for companies you want to see rated in the comments. Just remember that I will only ask you guys about the highest level in a company. For example, I will not ask you guys to rate Marvel because Disney owns Marvel.

Oh, if you have any suggestions to make this a better series, please PM me as that is the best way to get my attention. Vote Away!

About Today's Company:
Abercrombie & Fitch (A&F) is an American retailer that focuses on upscale casual wear for young consumers, its headquarters are in New Albany, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus. The company operates 2 other offshoot brands: Abercrombie Kids & Hollister Co. The company operates 1,049 stores across all four brands.

eight more votes guys till I post the next company.

Need 20 more votes. Also, how do I make a public spreadsheet to record this and future responses?

And I will gladly elaborate on why they both are a blight on the business world.

do so

A&F
-Have little selection
-Have not been in style for years
-The product is overpriced
-The stores are outdated, the music is too loud, and usually the employees do not care or are rude.
-Other retailers sell similar clothing at better prices and comparable quality. The brand is dying which is why they have lost i think about 60 million dollars so far this year.

Underarmour
-My personal most hated company
-No style whatsoever in their products compared to competitors (Nike, Adidas, Puma)
-Little technology compared to the other brands to boost performance
-Have no creativity and no sense how to design a sneaker that is not hideous or functional.
-Their running footwear has a terrible reputation for breaking very quickly.
-They have very few sponsors and the ones that are sponsored by them are mostly liked by children (Curry, Newton)
-Heard terrible stories about how they do not treat the employees well
-Are being blown away by other brands currently, especially Adidas which is killing everyone including Nike.
-Are overpriced for what you are getting. Same prices as Nike so there is no point to buy UA.
-A shit load of other reasons I cant think of right now, those are the ones off the top of my head.

And if you want proof look at the wicked declines in both of their stocks.

I agree with you 100%, especially on Under Armour. As much as I hate A&F, I think they are changing and getting slightly better in their clothing styles that they offer if that's anything.

Transformers is the only correct answer. that franchise has no soul.

SF_Okami posted...

I have always said the 2 worst companies in the world are Underarmour and Abercrombie & Fitch so one of those should be next to see if CE agrees lol.

And I will gladly elaborate on why they both are a blight on the business world.

Alright, I'll do Abercrombie & Fitch once I have 50 votes.

I will make sure that there are at least 50 votes before I close the topics.

About $20,000,000,000 more. Kind of crazy thinking how much criticism Comcast gets compared to Disney.

Looking at wikipedia, I think you may be right.

Queen of Katwe?

Wasn't that based on a true story? So it's not really original. Although Pirates of the Caribbean was based on the ride, it relied more on imagination than the ride itself as the ride didn't even have Jack Sparrow which is why I consider it an original film.

Can't remember any?
