    So please, stop griping at every article that the sites are slashdotted with few or no comments. It's just the way it is.

    My ex was bullimic when I met her - luckily I helped her get better and feel better about herself. She now has a perfect body, with curves where there should be curves, great physical fitness (she's been national kayak champ once), and she is absolutely gorgeus.
    When I met her, she had the ideal body if you believe televisions.
    I, for one, don't.

    Besides, being healthy is more than just physically.

    I was being sarcastic. I agree.

    There should be some sort of law licensing the right to have children, demanding a minimum of physical and mental fitness... Anything less is just child abuse.
    No matter what these idiots say: National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance.

    "Being an idiot who can't look after yourself should not be a social stigma!"

    Actually, the doctors here in Denmark have started prescribing workouts and fitness classes to people. Very cool, except we have public healthcare (which I usually don't mind), so I'm paying for a part of it.

    At any rate I would like to point out that heat problems can be just as bad in skinnies that don't move? (Like me)

    Well, at least I don't have trouble getting laid. If I'm lucky I might die of a heart attack in the middle of it.

    There is nothing wrong with being fat.

    That being said, there is nothing wrong with abstinence when you can't get what you want.

    I actually still have my OS/2 Warp installation CD - which they gave away ^_^

    I am personally the owner of four different versions of the bible, including a German translation from 1918, translated by dr. Menge.

    Quoting from a book that is self-contradictory is just a moot point.

    Don't ever use anything par real scientific research as scripture. Think.

    People are more likely to listen to others who are not too different from themselves. If you and I like the same coffee, I'd be more prone to listen to your advise about tea, whereas I probably wouldn't listen to someone who shuns coffee altogether.

  21. Re:Mixed feeling on HIV Vaccine · · Score: 1

    The whole bit in the US about going to Canada to purchase meds is because Canadian law allows Canadian companies to produce generic medications using formulas covered by patents in the US.

    I don't know about that.

    The whole idea with thet NAFTA is that the US pretty much has a tight grip around the proverbial balls of Canada, and do you really think drug companies would let their lobbyists sit idly by if Canada disregarded patents?
