    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Not to be elitist, but same here. In any case, I wasn't making fun of him. I just pointed out what I had previously overlooked.

    It's my second language as well and we can only learn more.

    I think pointing out mistakes just improves everybody's english skills but they're not the topic anyway.

    Watchman is right. It's mostly lifestyle and that people can afford to eat more.

    Hardee's Unveils 920-Calorie Burrito

    By JIM SALTER, AP Business Writer
    Monday, October 15, 2007

    The people who brought you the Monster Thickburger and the 1,100-calorie salad are at it again — this time for breakfast.

    Hardee's on Monday rolled out its new Country Breakfast Burrito — two egg omelets filled with bacon, sausage, diced ham, cheddar cheese, hash browns and sausage gravy, all wrapped inside a flour tortilla. The burrito contains 920 calories and 60 grams of fat.

    Brad Haley, marketing chief for the St. Louis-based fast-food chain, said the burrito offers the sort of big breakfast item normally found in sit-down restaurants with an added advantage.

    "It makes this big country breakfast portable," he said.

    Dunno about pathogenic, but it certainly sounds like some sort of crime. My arteries are deeply offended by the mere description.
    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

    LOL. It seems that people are truly unscrupulous when it comes to hypocresy.

    As for my mistake in the title, sorry for that. People have to understand that the language I speak natively has a different pronunciation of vocals, so to transform the words I write in english I try to remember exactly how any given letter is pronounced on the english alfabet, by principle I consider anything sounding like "ee" an "e", and I don't know why but I remembered the word "disease" sounding like "deesease" in my head. Thus sometimes I make stupid mistakes like that.
