Besides, no one ever acused me of not being in touch with my fem side anyway. But I think E-Reich (TLN)'s intent was to make fun of all the misspellings, and poke fun at me in a schoolgirl kind of way to boot. Hay it's not like the guy doesn't have a high IQ. Now, if he would just put it to use doing something other than trying to tick people off, he might be usefeul. It would be really something if he could show his intelect while doing something other than makeing himself a nuecence. Some people think it is their God given right to pick on other people. I am sure that if E-Reich (TLN) wasn't such a slob he would be one of those guys back in highschool who felt it was their duty to beat up anyone who they felt was smarter than them. In E-Reich (TLN)'s case maybe he is just responding to being the guy that got beat up all the time. After all if he realy is as smart as he keeps trying to get everyone to believe he probably did get beat up a lot. However, his inteligance doesn't seem to include self awareness of the sort that keeps one from becomeing what they hate. So with the advent of the internet E-Reich (TLN) is finaly able to ~be~ the bully himself. What a shame, what a waste. Unless of course all that talk is not actualy real inteligance. Maybe He's just good at words, and looking stuff up and remembering tidbits. That's not ~real~ inteligance after all is it? You know I bet that's it. I bet E-Reich (TLN) seemed like a smart guy way back in school, so he got beat up a lot, this gae him a complex about not being the alpha, so he persues an on-line, brain oriented social life. However, becouse he isn't really good understanding and creating, he once again feels like an underdog. So he uses his wordsmithing muscle to bully others so he can feel like the alpha.

Which is fine, but note that there is a range of body fat to muscle that is acceptable from a health risk standpoint. Even if you replaced some of your muscle with fat, you may not have significantly increased your health risks. As long as your BMI is between 18.5 and 25, and your waist is less than 35 inches in circumference (female, 40 male), it is unlikely that you have obesity-related health risks.

After all, razing is generlay done to make one's self feel better, If you know you may appear pathetic from time to time you might have a tendency to acuse others of looking pathetic, if you know you make typographical blunders you may find humor in the same mistakes others make. Personaly I find that razing others about something I am myself guilty of, simply looks hypocritical, and besides it never ends up making me feel any better. I always just end up feeling worse about myself. Erich obviously doesn't agree with this, but since I do, that left me nothing to raz Erich back about other than the way he treats his body. After all, if you only follow like tit for like tat when someone is using pasive agressivness, or logical inacuracies you always just end up in a frustraiting cycle and tipicaly you both look like idiots. On the other hand if you simply swipe back on a topic that the other is self concious about they tend to shut their trap, and move on. This seems to me in most cases to be the fastest way to end the whole mess without beeing walked all over. One's got to keep their personal dignity after all. I'm sorry if you take this personaly. Maybe being self concious about your fat index is why. However, someone else who is self concious about appearing pathetic may have taken Erich's raz personaly as well.

There is no reason you should be touchy about the shape 3 people's vessle is in after 2 leave that vessle and that vessle is still the main source of nurishment for them. What you have done is a butiful thing, and the shape you are in now is now less butiful than the thing you have done. This is very differnt though. Some people do have thyroid conditions and the like which causes them to have more body fat than most would in they ate and exerciezed properly. However, this may have been the case in our society at one time that most obease people fit this discription, but I am not so sure that it is still that way. Never the less, we are still talking about a double standard. If it is OK to raz someone about their use of language even though they have a condition which causes them definincy, then why is it not OK to raz someone if they have a condition which causes obesity? No one seems at all preturbed about how our president or anyone else is constantly razed for using the wrong word, or a less appropriate word, or phrasing something in a way that is caloquial, or makeing a statment which is intended to express a specific concept, but which is phrased in a clumbsy way and allows for too much misunderstanding. These are of course the communication dificulties experienced by Dyslexics and to some extent Autistics. Why is it that it is acceptable to make fun of these peopel, or worse, acuse them of beliefes they do not have, or intentions they do not have, to twist their intent against them for no good reason, but it is a horendous offence to make fun of someone who has a very high likelyhood of simply not caring for the only body they have. Sorry, but this seems like a double standard, and it seems so heavily wieghted twards the absurd that it makes me wonder what exactly our society favors. ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
