misskriss 0 #53 October 17, 2004 QuoteYou guys need to do something about your country, you are hurting every other country in the world, weather it be bombing us or putting pressure on our governments to join you and turn our own citizens against our country Well, I am not hurting anyone...what are you doing to change things? Is your govt one of the ones you say is being pressured? Why not give up complaining about how horrible the USA is on dz.com and do something productive. Protest or write letters to your govt and our govt. Big changes have to start somewhere..even with the smallest voice. But then again maybe that is what you are trying to do here so I digress.. As far as the weight issue-- We all know it is true. What am I doing about it? Besides taking care of myself, I make sure that my children have plenty of activities such as athletics, etc. I cook healthy meals for them and McDonalds is a rare occurrence. I don't know about elsewhere but in my neighborhood the streets are filled with kids playing basketball or rollerblading. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, you'll need to discuss that with Skydyvr and Bill Gates. Did you know that Bill Gates has given more money to Cambridge than to any other university in the world? I think he said something to the effect of recognizing excellence. He also endowed the Gates Scholarships. Guess where you go if you're a Gates Scholar. Not Harvard, not MIT, not Princeton, not Cornell, not Stanford... Of course, I expect you know better than Bill Gates how to recognize excellence....

Know what? I'm sick and tired of people saying because you weigh XX you are "bad." Fuck that. I grew up with models like Twiggy. Karen Carpenter. Cheryl Tiegs. Bones outside their skin. Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. The last time I saw 135 lbs, I was 14 years old. I hated my body (which is very voluptuous - Ruebens would've loved me), wishing my Dcups were A's, wishing my hips weren't hips, and wishing my ass was flat. I thought I was fat and ugly. And according to the models on tv, in magazines, and in Hollywood, I was. Still am, according to those standards. And then I watched a cousin go from a healthy 140 to 86 pounds. She died. Another cousin didn't die, but reached a very bad place - and nearly did. Like Karen Carpenter, like many other "celebrities" who starve themselves for the "perfect" body, people die because they believe that they should look a different way than what they do. The perfect body is what God gave me, Irish/Scots ancestry and all. I am no waif - never have been, never will be. The only way I could ever be like a model would be to have bones removed. And I am just not going to mutilate my body to look good for some young testosterone-filled arrogant teen. Know what else? I would rather sit by the airplane emergency exit because I can move that sonofabitch door outta the way faster than you could think to move me. Matter of fact, I sit at the door more often than not when traveling. I would gladly come to your aid if you were being beat up - and it would take no time at all with me in the fight to take out an unarmed opponent - done it several times; armed takes longer, I'm assuming. Never faced that, so I don't know. I am me. I can't change that - and I don't want to. I have finally come to a place where I am what I am, and if *you* don't like it, well, that's too bad for you, isn't it? I'm intelligent, thoughtful, curious, very well developed both emotionally and spiritually, and I've dealt with more than you've ever begun to imagine - and survived. It's a really good thing you're not responsible for my rent, or my car, or my life...because that's about the time your childish, whining opinion would count.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites mr2mk1g 10 #73 October 18, 2004 QuoteHow many medals came from your country -- per-capita statistics will do. Um... am I missing something? You're asking for medals per capita statistics... America came in very low down the tables in per capita stats... Certainly a LOT lower down than NZ, which appears to be where Bigway comes from. They're consistently amongst the top countries in the tables you're asking him to produce. The US is consistently in the bottom countries – hell, for Gold medals per GDP you came last out of all those that got Golds! Check out this site: http://www.simon.forsyth.net/olympics.html I just don't understand the point you're trying to make. You state that the US is the "most athletic country" and yet you ask him to produce the statistics that disprove your very argument. I don't think an argument about Olympic medals is particularly indicative of much though when it comes to nationwide obesity problems... but at least make logical arguments if you're going to make them.

There was no need. Obesity really is a problem that ought to be discussed. Yes it currently affects the US more than any other country, but it should also be recognised that it’s spreading across the globe. It is a serious matter, but there was absolutely no need for it to degenerate into the slanging match it did. What a pitty some people couldn't stick to the topic and stay away from name calling.

You're asking for medals per capita statistics... America came in very low down the tables in per capita stats... Certainly a LOT lower down than NZ, which appears to be where Bigway comes from. They're consistently amongst the top countries in the tables you're asking him to produce. The US is consistently in the bottom countries – hell, for Gold medals per GDP you came last out of all those that got Golds! Check out this site: http://www.simon.forsyth.net/olympics.html I just don't understand the point you're trying to make. You state that the US is the "most athletic country" and yet you ask him to produce the statistics that disprove your very argument. I don't think an argument about Olympic medals is particularly indicative of much though when it comes to nationwide obesity problems... but at least make logical arguments if you're going to make them.

There was no need. Obesity really is a problem that ought to be discussed. Yes it currently affects the US more than any other country, but it should also be recognised that it’s spreading across the globe. It is a serious matter, but there was absolutely no need for it to degenerate into the slanging match it did. What a pitty some people couldn't stick to the topic and stay away from name calling.
