I havent seen his posts since CF changed the BBS interface way back. He might can see mine. I give him credit for being an original days internet troll, before the term "troll" was even popularized. I am just disappointed that he hijacked so much Rockets nostalgia into a "Retro Educator" egostical, antagonistic schtick. Never felt comfortable with any of the supposed "feel good" of it. Your comment is an unfortunate validation of what I even felt then early on. Again its just unfortunate that its this way
Specifically told a friend in Hawaii that I in my observation, i didnt see so much obesity there. He said "What, are you kidding? They're everywhere!" And thats some truth, there are some huge people there. But I think its also a visible segment of Polynesians & such that are unapologetically food & size friendly. Big "mokes" wear their size proudly, which shapes the visual to make it seem more widespread than it is. Then perhaps high cost of living of states in that list might be a contributor to lower obesity. That its just too expensive to buy more food. (Which ironically might be a downside to lower cost of living. More money for more food!)
Unless someone has a medical condition there is absolutely no excuse for being fat let alone obese. I get not everyone can afford to go to a gym but you can buy free weights, walk or run. I don't think that it's confined to a specific political party. Just lazy people in general. I will say that if you look at these protests (which mainly come from the left) there are a lot of awful looking people who clearly don't care about their appearance. Instead of protesting take care of yourself.
@jo mama @Salvy @HP3 @pgabriel is right, there are fat people regardless of their political beliefs, HOWEVER there is one party who thinks OBESITY IS HEALTHY
