The quote under that guy says another thing about the state of our population, the fact that he sees himself as pretty healthy. Now, I realize that even though T-Nation may be a little extreme, I would have a hard time finding anyone with any sort of knowledge who would find a someone in that physical state healthy. The absence of disease does not necessarily mean the presence of health.[/quote]
if youāre not morbidly obese youāre healthy nowadays
WTF? people should have a disability ID or licsence to buy one of those things or somethingā¦

Hey guys, no offense, but why donāt you man up and write that shit yourselves and try to get it posted online? Sounds like youāre using these guys as your literary scooter.

Yeah, screw that whole āpursuit of happinessā thing too. We should get some kind of three letter government fitness agency that comes and kicks your door down and handcuffs you to the squat rack.

Half the fun of going to an amusement park is walking around all day and having sore legs!
Donāt worry folks, natural selection is always at work and will eventually rid this lazy gene from societā¦maybe.

lets instead handcuff them behind something moving so they can actually move around a little themselves. I like to envision using trains as well as hyperactive grizzly bears.
this will leave the squat-rack open for people who actually know how to use it

That was my first thought when I read the article. Iāve come to accept that humanity is inherently fucked so I figure why shouldnāt I profit off of it? Enabler Enshabler. They want it, so theyāll get it.

Sure, as long as they are willing to pay the economic cost of their lifestyle choice so I dont have to pay for it.
I did a five year sentence as a mall security guard, I have seen my share of fatties on the scooters. Ironically, most of them (the ones who were mobile, just lazy) would rent the scooter and beeline to Hot Dog On a Stick (a store, which, by the way, is an open invatation to another rant about the state of our society!).
I had a theory similar to the chicken and the egg; do they use them because they are fat and have trouble walking, or are they fat because they donāt walk much?
There is a weight limit on the scooters, and I got written up for pointing it out to a customer when her scooter stopped working.
I will close by adding that they do stock the double wide scooters, for those who are to large for the standard one.

And here I am going to work for nothing.
Laziness should become a crime in the near future. A crime that costs society and insurance more then most diseases out there. Sadly we may need a huge war and have food be rationed or something. This will only escalate to the point of noone ever leaving their home. We could in effect become a āfull serviceā society.
You will be able to work from home, get groceries delivered, get home schooled, order your favorite shows on tv, cruise the internet, take dip in your pool. Then for vacation a van can pick you up and take you to places where you can ride your personal mobility device.
What i see here is really just an escalation of what happens when you remove discipline from a childās upbringing. They become lazy, dismissive and arrogant. Just as our society is now.

Riding around in a scooter because youāre lazy because it makes you happy? Yes, thatās what I call pursuit of happiness. I would consider that self-regarding behavior. Taking up a handicapped parking spot because you donāt want to walk, that affects others. Though I hate to swerve on the thread here, I must say have you seen who tends to use those spots? It is rarely someone who needs it, increasingly it is becoming fatasses who need to walk around a little more and are ādisabledā because they are obese.

We are far less active than we used to be. I think I saw in a seminar that women in the 1900ās ate around 3,500 cals / dayā¦ and people still looked skinny.
Go to google and check out the pictures from the Civil War era in the US. Look how sunken peopleās cheeks appear. Way leaner than youāre average slob today.
I think we need to start paying for things like insurance, air fare, groceries, and taxes by the pound.

That would affect bodybuilders as well. This is already an issue for life insurance companies who avoid insuring people based on BMI. I am actually surprised someone would write what you did on a BODYBUILDING forum.

I guess youāve never read and or compared one of our writing styles to a professional author. Their articles would be much better, and funnier, for that matter.
