Actually, he wasn't being serious. That was part of his comedy routine, and his "we got the nu-cu-lar bomb" bit was included in his "I'm an asshole" song, so it was actually a snide commentary on warmongerers.Admiral Valdemar wrote:Dennis Leary is a fucking idiot then, whoever he is.Well, like Dennis Leary said. We've got the bomb. We've also got 40% of the population that isn't obese.

The phrase "Go figure" pops instantly to mind.Funny comedian from Boston. He wrote that asshole song somebody posted in this thread.
The US has a large, if not, the largest manufacturing industry on the planet. A lot of other nations in the West are moving from that area and going into services or logistics, the UK for instance is much lower on that list than it would've been 50 or so years ago.Well, this fat work force is already kicking ass when it comes to productivity. In manufacturing, we're No. 5 (behind Taiwan, Korea, France and Sweden [wtf?]).
That's awfully defeatist, I'm sure you're at MIT for a reason and not for shits and giggles. I certainly know I want a real future and family in the years to come. If I didn't, I'd have got a job stacking cardboard at a local factory full time by now.Well I'm sure I have a lot to live for, but I don't feel pressed to choose right now.
You'd be surprised.Well, I'm not exactly gunning to pick the time of my death. At least with cancer and slerosis, it's a gamble.

Fair doos, I was wondering quite how legit that could be, comedians can be hard to figure out in this screwy world now.Darth Wong wrote:Actually, he wasn't being serious.

By your logic suicide should be legalized since people have the right to harm themselves.Or that you're a health nazi. Obligatory added.

Yeah. Great American that one.The phrase "Go figure" pops instantly to mind.
Good point.The US has a large, if not, the largest manufacturing industry on the planet. A lot of other nations in the West are moving from that area and going into services or logistics, the UK for instance is much lower on that list than it would've been 50 or so years ago.
I'm only thinking of the American tobacco farmer and malt brewer.In anycase, current trends aside, I'm thinking of the fat future which won't disappear into thin air unless something is done.
Work hard, play hard.That's awfully defeatist, I'm sure you're at MIT for a reason and not for shits and giggles.
I want the money, but no kids. Can't stand kids.I certainly know I want a real future and family in the years to come. If I didn't, I'd have got a job stacking cardboard at a local factory full time by now.
Okay, I've been smoking 13 years now and drinking for maybe nine or ten. What's my sign?You'd be surprised.
I don't think of suicide as a good time. Drinking and smoking with your people, that's a good time.evilcat4000 wrote:By your logic suicide should be legalized since people have the right to harm themselves.

There are better ways to enjoy life than drinking.I don't think of suicide as a good time. Drinking and smoking with your people, that's a good time.

Define "immature."Darth Wong wrote:Not surprising, given your obvious immaturity. You're not ready.
Yeah. Battling, fishing, pick up basketball, all sorts of things. Americans do a whole lot more than drink, smoke and eat fatty foods.evilcat4000 wrote:There are better ways to enjoy life than drinking.
Sure, and so do most Americans. This seems to be something the Nanny Staters can't grasp.Dont you have a life ?

Coming from someone who does not see anti-sodomy laws as "undue corruption" of government from religion (click here), this is pretty fucking funny.revprez wrote:Sure, and so do most Americans. This seems to be something the Nanny Staters can't grasp.
I can see how you'd want to deflect attention away from your own incredible hypocrisy.But enough about me...this is N&P.
I don't know. I put in 40 hour work weeks 9 out of the 12 months of the year to pay for school.

Yes, I live to know what you of me. But seriously, why do this here? Wouldn't Off Topic or HoS be a better place? And there was a pretty reasonable discussion on topic going on in this thread.I can see how you'd want to deflect attention away from your own incredible hypocrisy.

How does that address the fact that you think anti-sodomy laws are justifiable while simultaneously decrying any attempt to do anything about America's fattening population? The damage done by obesity is objective.revprez wrote:Yes, I live to know what you of me.
How so? All I see is you decrying what you see as "nannyism".But seriously, why do this here? Wouldn't Off Topic or HoS be a better place? And there was a pretty reasonable discussion on topic going on in this thread.

Well, since this is apparantly the start of a wonderful, new friendship, I'll get serious.How so? All I see is you decrying what you see as "nannyism".

Shut the fuck up, Admiral Bangers n Mash.Admiral Valdemar wrote:Just remember who has the fattest people on the planet and just how many die from such ailments and how that costs your economy.
Britain is said to be on the brink of an obesity epidemic. According to figures from the Department of Health, more than 8.5% of 6 year olds and 15% of 15 year olds in England are classified as obese.
"The rise (in obesity) in Britain is as fast or faster than anywhere else in the world," Professor Philip James, the chairman of the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF), told a meeting of non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
I'm sure you'd agree though, that some people have kids because of selfish motives, while others express responsibility by not having kids, as well.Darth Wong wrote:They indicate that you are capable of doing something without selfish motives.

Now just point to me where I said Britain was exempt from this obesity crisis. What's that? You can't? Oh too fucking bad, guess you invoked some sort of fallacy there thinking I saw America as the only unhealthy
Yes, the old "oh shit! Time for a semantics exit door!America is the fattest nation on the planet, not the sole obese nation on the planet (which, by the way, I never said).
