Wrong. They all had hope in the face of almost certain death. The ones that accepted their fate lost the will to even try to survive. And I also think what you’re saying is pretty disrespectful towards the survivors. The survivors didn’t just get lucky, although luck played a part. [/quote]

Eh, perhaps we have a different way of looking at it. Let’s just say I have some distant relatives who were picked up and didn’t come back.

I’m also tremendous history buff, especially a buff of World War I and World War II history, and recently I’ve read two very good, highly detailed books about post WW II Europe. I’ve also read about and watched films on lesser known things (lesser known to most Americans, I believe) during those time periods, such as the Holodomor and the Katyn Forest and Vinnitsya Massacres, Soviet-run Gulags, and all the smaller civil wars during and after WW II.

I don’t want to get too off topic though, because with history, I can really start rambling, and this thread is supposed to be about building the type of size that strikes fear in average chumps, and has one fighting the honeys off with a stick!

Most of the survivors DID get lucky (besides the whole being there in the first place part). If the Allies didn’t win the war and rescue them then they all would have sadly perished. No amount of hope would have prevented the Nazi’s from killing them. Luckily the Nazi’s were defeated and the horrible things that they were doing were stopped.

It is not disrespectful to say this. Did they have hope that they would make it? Of course most of them did but without without being rescued they would have all perished.

I agree with BrickHead, sorry for furthering the detail with my post. Lets get back to the topic of making people move out of the way when you walk into the door and that flying isn’t impossible, we just have to unlock that portion of our minds.

224

ZZZZZZZzzzzzzz, that is the sound made by the sleeping world record holders and medals winners.
They feel quite safe since many of the ultra gifted are either too lazy, not motivated enough or not smart enough to lift 10,000 and or add 300 pounds of lean muscles.
When you do that please start a thread called WAKE UP !
Thanks a bunch.

Lol - dude, what the bloody fuck are you talking about? How the hell would you have the VAGUEST idea about the actual mindset of specific individuals some 70 years ago unless you were there? Which you obviously weren’t.

And even if you were, and you talked to 2 guys who survived and had the supposed requisite “positive attitude” - that wouldn’t prove shit about your spurious theory.

So, back to the topic at hand - I can be a “not fat” 305, fly to the moon on my pink unicorn while Batman, Superman and Pee Wee Herman all cheer me on from the Millennium Falcon, and Batman’s tummy will be FILLED to the brim with delicious Skittles!!

Yay for NO LIMITS!!!

Indeed, the whole positive attitude spiel is possibly the dumbest thing I have ever read. You can’t stop Zyklon B from killing you just by having an Ubermensch style positive attitude.

Were you there when neil armstrong landed on the moon? Guess it never happened then!

Being dismissive of positive thinking shows that you really, really don’t understand it. If you can joke about it, then guess what. YOU MISSED THE POINT entirely.

It’s a common perversion for people to ridicule positive thinking because “gee if I just think positive” then all my dreams will come true right? Positive thinking in no way circumvents reality.

You are reading: Think positive → then dreams come true

When you should be reading: If you don’t think positive → dreams will never come true

Its a subtle difference.

And by dreams I don’t mean unicorns or extra inches on your cock.

If you think positive then you might just hang in there when the going gets tough, but if you believe you will fail then you ALWAYS will.

Thinking positive won’t protect you from cyanide gas, but it does go some way to giving you the fortitude to withstand starvation and utter misery.

Quite often, the people most resistant to positive thinking are the ones least happy with how their lives are. That’s because people find it hard to handle the fact that they are responsible for how their own lives turn out. Its much more psychologically comforting to be able to blame “reality” for their shortcomings and failures in life.

I asked where these numbers are coming from that Brick has posted ad nauseum.

After ten pages, I still don’t see that. I just see people upset because I asked for the source of those specific limits.

Where is this “80lb limit” coming from? Where is this “15 year limit” coming from?

Why are people more worried about me asking where the numbers are from rather than why Brick can post those without anyone else questioning it?

I didn’t think my quads were non-existant even with the injuries.

But yes, Brick has nice quads.[/quote]

??? i dont get you man. your a BIG dude, you have a very good build, i would love to look like you.

nobody is saying you have not built a way above average head turning physique.

if you really think that is the points being debated here, and every other shit storm you are part of…

waitaminute, of course you do, this is just how you have fun f-ing with people. lol
[/quote]

Then what is being debated? I asked very specific questions. This thread isn’t about what you think of me…yet that is all you seem to want to talk about in every thread.

Why is it OK to tell someone like Kingbeef as a newb that he won’t reach a level that he already recahed?

Why are you ok with this?

People are really arguing that a positive attitude won’t help you overcome obstacles in life?

Am I missing something? This is the mindset of people who don’t achieve much in life.

238

It is like people are now arguing against common mantras that have helped mankind reach for higher and higher goals.

This concept is now actually being laughed at?

It is now believed that you can reach goals that other people thought you couldn’t by BELIEVING the limits other people set based on nothing but hearsay?

That is ridiculous.

Ben Carson was told by every teacher in school that he was near retarded and would never be anything.

He is now one of the world’s most famous neurosurgeons.

By the talk of most here, he should have clearly simply believed the limits imposed by others…instead of believing he could beat them.

The talk on this forum has hit new lows when people would rather give up that sort of drive or mindset simply to argue against me because of some popularity issue.

239

To clarify, my objection was that such a mindset will not alter objective reality. I have no problem with people having a positive mindset about their goals, but let’s not overstate the power of positive thinking. I also find it to be a dubious claim for anyone to attribute a “survivor” mindset as being a determinative reason for survival. simply for the reason that it is impossible to determine whether victims had this mindset either way.

No I do not think that goals are bad. No, I do not think that it is a bad thing for people to think positive.
I do, however, think the effects can be very easily overstated.

That’s the problem…your perception of reality is COMPLETELY SUBJECTIVE.

And we are just now finding out what the mind is capable of.
