Zeus 07/30/18 5:02:23 PM #9:	Playsaver posted... So now many of us are fat and broke because of these peoples. Even overlooking that the broke claim is silly, there's no basis to the fat claim since it's not like their theft made people more or less likely to overeat while not getting sufficient exercise over the past few decades. Even if you somehow argued that people ate more than they may have otherwise during the promo because they couldn't get the pieces, that promo only lasted a few months. Therefore, if you're fat, that's 100% on you, not anybody who rigged a promo. And, if you're broke, odds are you weren't going win anyway so that's also not the promo's fault in almost every case. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:905982494] in Did you pl...
