  • Hard News: Problems,

    Whilst cycleways seem righteous, it does seem to me that they'd be more used if they were actually within population centers, rather than between them. I'm not sure what kind of people like riding around the country, but my guess is that they're hardcore, and don't need no pussy cycleway.

    But decent urban cycleways won't be anywhere near as cheap per km.

    What's my prediction for this diet? PAIN!

    But I prefer Bruce Lee - The Art of dieting without dieting. Why you eat my Master's Lunch??? Why?....Whywhywhy!!!

  • Hard News: Problems,

    If I'd paid attention to Battlestar Galactica I might know what the hell you guys are on about, but I bet it wouldn't have helped the recession. It would just be another thing I was watching for free on MySky.

    Yes, the gaping hole in the economy could never really be satisfied with mere elephants again.

  • Hard News: Problems,

    I think the world economy has already done it with elephants.

    Elephants! Let's actually learn from the past and do it with elephants!

    No way! Have you seen the size of their...

    Hey, you got me! Except you managed to inflate it from one point to four. Cut back, baby.

    Gio, that may be true. But it also could just be an excuse. Or both. I personally know that no-one else is responsible for my own overeating. No one ever forced me to eat. They just made nice food that I both like and can afford, and I was unwilling to change my habits as a skinny highly sporty teen when my lifestyle moved to middle-aged and sedentary. It's only as I've got older and wiser that I've been able to cut the intake, and hey, presto, guess what?

    Danielle, I don't care what issues you have with me, or what information you require. The simple fact is that fat comes from eating food. Period. It really is that simple. And yes, denying that is lying. And no, I'm not judging. I know and like a lot of fat people. Most people I know and like are fat. I don't think any less of them as people. But I don't think they know JACK SHIT about losing weight, despite most of them having spent a lot more time than me studying everything known to man about nutrition.

    Yeah, most people can control their own body weight within a 10-20 pound range.

    I don't care what most people can control. The point is it can be controlled. By the most simple advice that can be given. The only barrier to it working is actually following it.

    Goodness I go away for a week and I've started a shitfight?

    Danielle, if you think my having an opinion on fatness based on observations of both myself and other people around me is insulting, judgmental and anecdotal, then all I can say is: Too bad. They're still based on actual observations and I don't need to study for 50 years to know that overeating makes you fat as. I've tried it. I've also tried eating less, and lost fat. It doesn't take a genius to see the correlation. It doesn't take all sorts of sophisticated analysis and endless science.

    I'm not judging fat people. I'm just saying something obvious. Cretinously obvious. The kind of obvious you have to be trained not to see. The kind of obvious that I refuse to not see.
