US Government to Kids: No S'mores Around the Camp Fire

[G.T.]

This is REALLY something to cry about, a healthy SUGGESTION when our Country is comprised of absurdly fat fucks.

I suspect if statists weren't in the habit of turning such suggestions into mandates no one would care.

I am going to try this.

I will ask you an honest question based on what you have posted here.

Are you ready?

If a law was proposed that banned s'mores, do you think liberals, in general, would support it?

I'd certainly hope not. But they don't have a great track record and show disturbing enthusiasm for just such idiocy.

Yes or no questions........rarely get yes or no answers.

Well, let me clarify, YES! Some definitely would.

Some? What percentage? Anyone you can name? Maybe someone we can ask?

I'm not sure. Are you confident none would?

Ten years ago, I'd have bet money that no liberals would have supported a law forcing us to buy health insurance from the very corporations that had been raping us for years. Yet, here were are. Some of these fuckers never met a law they didn't like and will never speak out against overbearing government if they think it's "for a good cause".

Have to admit it, you're right. Mandatory buying for profit insurance courtesy of Obama, the supposed liberal. Clinton gave us Nafta after bad mouthing it as a candidate. Not much choice in candidates since wall street, banks and major corporations get to choose who gets a chance at.the white house.

I'm kind of embarrassed for the young generation. Some grossly overweight. Some of us remember JFK jump started America on physical fitness and I think that this led to the jogging and fitness crazes afterward. There were no fitness clubs for the average guy before JFK's jump starting fitness either. Not long after, they were popping up all over America. Another thing, I never see a young person work around the house. I still mow a couple lawns at age 70 almost, too cheap to pay someone. All the other houses have lawn services while the kids are huddled around some type of electronic media like zombies. I haven't seen a youngster wash a car, windows, or mow a line in decades. If it takes the government to try to start a movement towards a healthier life, nothing wrong with that I think.

this is a great post, but there is a deeper issue here.

is it wrong to strive for maximum enjoyment if youre a nihilist and dont believe in an afterlife? Being slovenly isnt for me and all, but.ancient kings layed around getting fanned and grapes fed to them.

A great and pain staking philosophical discussion. Work. Hard work. Quality of life. All that, the balance, the implications, the detachment a career driven persona has from their family.....etc

I agree with you. But I was just saying a president or other popular public figure could sway people to go in a certain direction. Maybe even lean on food producers to put healthier ingredients in food. I didn't realize how overweight Americans were till I spent time in South America, mostly Peru, then returned to USA. What big portions we eat. I had forgotten. But still, people should be allowed to make their own choices and lifestyle, how much to eat, exercise etc. It's their choice in the final analysis.

Their choice effects everyone until we fix our system.

As it stands, their choice makes everyone elses premiums more expensive.

So here you are with your kids around the campfire fixin' up some of those treats.

Suddenly from the bushes comes a huge bear!

NO, it's NOT a real bear!

It's Moochelle in a "Smokey" suit.

Gotta save you from yourselves!

Side note though dana, I think cocoa has anti oxidants, how come avoidance due to cancer?

The medication I have to take to prevent the breast cancer from returning and killing me causes just about everything I put in my mouth to make my physically sick. Chocolate is one of the worst. I won't get more graphic than that for all those who have weak stomach.

So I had to give up chocolate in 2011. I have my designated chocolate eaters. My daughter, mom and friends will eat chocolate for me and tell me how good it tastes. That's the closest I can get to eating chocolate for a long time.

I hope you get through it top end and 110%.

My mother in law was given 3 mos to live with pancreatic cancer and she switched to a paleo type diet and lasted 3 1/2 more YEARS, then, when chemo made her just NOT WANT any food, she lost all those nutrients that were actively fighting the cancer and the rest is history.

Thank you very much GT.

I'm trying my best to be the first in my family to beat breast cancer. Four before me tried and lost.

The type I had was fed by my body's hormones so it always comes back and kills. Which is why it was one of the most deadly because until recently, there was really no way to block the hormones. Now there is a way. However it's not easy. I look at it this way, I can either be sick all the time or be dead. I'll take being sick. LOL.

I've come farther than those four in my family before me. I'll be at that magic 5 year mark on Wednesday January 13th, 2016. I'm going to have a HUGE party on that following Friday that will last until Monday. LOL.

As I said to my doctor when he told me I had cancer, cancer picked the wrong body to invade.

If or when I get cancer, and I have a slight nutritional background, I will overdose my body on a daily basis with cardio, broccoli, blueberries, green tea extract, spinach, asparagus.

I already kind of do, but damn it the feeling of facing mortality is the biggest driving force ever in leading a focused life.

You are a hero. Every day, you are reminded of your mortality yet you persevere. That is nothing short of roman gladiator warrior status, and the sun is always on you. Absorb that shit.

Thank you GT.

Being told you have cancer and all that follows is very surreal. At least it was for me. It's kind of an auto pilot mode that you go into. You just keep breathing, put one foot in front of the other and keep on going.

I don't think what I'm doing is heroic, I certainly don't feel like a hero.

My only motivations are the four before me who died, my husband and my daughter. I'm fighting for them.

Yes the fear is always there. Most of the time I can keep it under control.

I noticed the date you joined this message board. I know that day very well. It's the the first of 2 separate days in my life that saved my life from cancer even though it was a year and a half before the cancer was found. I haven't figured out how to start an email from this site yet so please email me. I'll tell you what I was doing the day you joined this message board. Monday June 29th, 2009.
