There are many factors that make an application program "better", user friendly and good design are important factors. Users are the ones that have the say who's "better", not the programmers.

This is why we all end up with politicians and the policies we deserve. Ultimately, the really important decisions in a democracy are always made on an ill-informed popular vote. Still I guess that is still better than one ill-informed individual.

Since a forum is dependent on it's users, especially when they're the ones providing the "content", it had better be user-friendly for it to have some life.

Nothing to do with politics, programmers and over-inflated egos.

Sure, but i would still have voted for M$ then junk food. M$ is bad but it won't damage your health.

Coke tastes bad? Maybe they don't make yours from Chatahoochee River Springs water.
Coke is not only addicting, but full of the good stuff to keep your system fueled up and humming.
Check out their worldwide sales figures, not too else much to compare...except maybe Pepsi. LOL

Caffeine? i get that from japanese tea also.

I drank about one can of coke light a day a few years back, after about 3 years of drinking i tried to stop after reading about some stuff they wrote about coke light on the web, but before that, i had to go through withdrawal symptoms - pangs of headache that last for at least 2 mths. Drinking plenty of coffee doesn't cure this headache so it's not caffeine. It is something else and i think it's no good.

It is mainly down to Aspartame, which was banned for years until Ronald Rumsfeld had it pushed through when he was head of Sears.

It is systematic poisoning of the population. Diet Coke is actually probably more fattening than the fully sugar variety. When we let my son have Coke, I only let him have the full sugar variety.

Anything that induced massive secretion of insulin and that includes Caffeine and Aspartame is not only going to increase weight gain when it contains calories or not but is also going to greatly increase your risk of Diabetes.

There are also other chemicals in Coke that should be given a wide birth and all that is in addition to the effects that fizzy drinks in general can have on bone density and the like.
