VOTING is a way of influencing your environment. Politics is much more bullsh-- than art, and you can’t control anything. I can’t speak as to your actions in that forum, but most people that are into politics just like to argue. Don’t fool yourself into believing that anyone you have a discussion with online is going to be genuinely open about politics when that can hardly ever even happen in person.

But to the OP, like others have said, pretty much everything online is complete bullcrap. Muscle mags aren’t any better. Everybody is just trying to make a buck[/quote]

I know that MOST people on there are never going to change their minds about anything, despite the veracity of my arguments or anyone else’s arguments. But some do. And besides that, I get more out of having MY viewpoints challenged because it forces me to reinforce my own stance or re-evaluate it. When you chop something down, it grows back that much stronger.[/quote]

Problem is when people refuse to change their own minds but try to influence others.

LOL, this train derailed before it even left the station …

Unlucky OP - and to answer the question, if the website likes its strength techniques based on an animal (koala, panda, cuddly cat) then I generally call bullshit.

Or, if it is a wall of texts WITH LOTS OF CAPITALS and special offers highlighted in a striking blue/red font combination.

Its your age, and the old fuckers in that forum, oil and water, man, oil and water. I am at that age of I have to many other things to get my panties in a bunch about instead of politics. I am sure when I get to be Pushes age I will be in the forum arguing. [/quote]

I turn 31 in three weeks. That puts me right about the median age in there.[/quote]

Exactly but it also the responsibility of life. Your a smart funny guy, but I have yet to get that you are married with kids? Correct me if I am wrong. When you have that responsibility it changes your priorities a bit. At your age you have some experience in life not like the 20 year old know it alls but you still dont have othere experiences that will change you.

Anyway I keep forgetting to ask you: who in the fuck is that in your avi? [/quote]

Fair enough, I just always look at it as a pointless argument, not judging. yes you are a sadist. but I have enough ink that people say the same thing to me. :slight_smile: [/quote]

I’m with you DJHT…there’s no real need to go too far arguing anything on the internet. Of course it’s an even worse idea in real life where people may hit back too…but yeah, I don’t even go to the PWI section.
I also frequent a Star Trek discussion board and their version of PWI gets so bad it makes the PWI section here look like a quilter’s forum…so I’ve heard.

Hahahahahahaha well he did say he was a sadist, I take his humour as running harsh and the example in SR thread is just BS.

Who in the fuck wants to lift naked anyway? I mean really, that would never cross my mind. Heavy metal objects around the twig and berries does not compute.

I stopped arguing religion and politics in real life because its pointless there also. I have yet to see somebody switch political beliefs coming out of an argument. Its pointless. Rather talk football, weightlifting and titties any day. Its just self flogging and grand standing, but to each his own, some people I heard dont even like to talk football, weightlifting and titties I dont believe it but I am told they are out there.

For me, it is if I see -recently discovered-
-state of the art-
Web page is too glitzy
pop unders with act now or if there is “can only offer this to the first X people”
When it is a 12 week program, just recently finished, but there are already people reporting success stories, and they are other internet hawkers
results photos and the color and lighting is changed drastically
I’m sure this is more.[/quote]

When it is a “top secret” training program that the government does not want to you to know. I find this usually relates to martial arts videos or books.

What’s wrong with lifting naked? I do it all the time when I can do so in privacy. Just stay away from box squats and you’ll be fine. Lighten up a little bit, it’s actually quite relaxing.

:slight_smile: Ill take your word for it man. It reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when he is dating the nudist and she starts working on her bicycle. Some things are made to do naked and some are not my friend.
