Hey c t frank, based upon your conniving scheme, I believe the U.S. government has within it’s power a way to virtually eliminate the obesity epidemic among our young people. First, reinstate the draft, but not using the old fitness criteria. You base the draft number based upon the individual’s BMI (body mass index) number. The ones with a larger percentage reading over their BMI, the earlier they are drafted. Then the military gets them away from the abusive, unhealthy eating situation they were brought up in, and whips them into a lean, mean fighting machine. If a parent is truly concerned in keeping their child out of the draft, they will instill proper eating habits at an early age, deny them the ho-hos, potato chips, etc, and explain to them that they are doing it so that later in life they will not be drafted and possibly die for the big corporations that was mentioned in the prior post (ironic that some of the big corportations are the very ones who produce the very products that actually fatten up the little kiddies).
Conversely, the government should then also adopt the same plan in reverse for hiring of civilian government employees. Only those with a BMI that is appropriate or lower would be even considered for civilian govt employment, thus making THEM more apt to move their arses for the taxpaying public they are hired to serve. They will be a healthier lot who will tap into the taxpayer paid health insurance a lot less.
All in all I would say that this is a fine solution to a terrible obesity epidemic going on, and would force parents like c t frank to work towards a healthy upbringing for their children instead of taking a lazy-man’s approach to childrearing.

Hey, lets saddle up the Romney children and the two Soetero girls. They are just about ready to carry a pack and get into the infantry. Uh, yea, the Bush girls, too.

Diderot, Vietnam was STOLEN by the same people who are giving away Afghanistan and Iraq. Yeah, some of them are Democrats, but nearly as many are Republicans who see more profit to be made by moving troops around, cutting a bunch of experienced people loose so the next time we need warm bodies in a hurry, we will be calling up the fleet reserve, those who have served and received honorable discharges without a major medical reason. Think THEY will be happy to give up family and job simply because too many of them were let go too soon? Don’t think it can happen, take a good look at that enlistment contract.

Bill says: “That was a real intelligent remark, Right Drain Thinker”

A lot more intelligent than DRAIN, I’m sure.

Where’s your sense of humor, DILL? Are you a perhaps a sour pickle person? Sam writes a little “throw-away” piece, and I make a joke to see if I can “prod” anyone and up the number of comments for him, and you are assessing its suitability for inclusion in a book of famous quotes? Lighten up.

And Agenda 21? I have never mentioned it and never responded to anyone who did before this message. I have no agenda 21 “buddies” beyond you.

Mr. Horton, do know a bit of your background from following you on here, but do NOT know where you lived that MOST white families had crab and lobster as anything other than a rare treat. Where I grew up, crab and lobster weren’t even on most restaurant menus, so for sure were not any sort of an everyday staple for anyone. Truthfully, what I have seen black youth craving and screaming for are things I would have looked at and walked away from when I was growing up, Who in his right mind is going to buy his kid a two hundred dollar pair of tennis shoes (basketball shoes to most of the young people) simply because some big name player put his name on them? Why should Michael Jordan’s name on a pair of sneaks make them worth ten to twenty times as much as a pair of Walmart cheapies? By the same token, why would any youngster with any sense want to wear his pants so it looks like he is wandering around in jail? See, I do know where some of these styles came from, whether the kids who think they are so hot do or not. Quit blaming the black man’s envy and greed on the whites and take a real good look at how so many blacks came to be here in the first place. For sure it wasn’t the whites who went out and captured them with the idea of making slaves of them.

Have you see housing in a white neighborhood 50. 60. Year old housing….still looks ok…used but livable…then look at black housing. 5 10 years old….old, dilapidated..looks lie a slum..broken windows. Borked doors..garbage lying all over the pace. These people can keep anything nice. They get what they deserve

“Chester,”

YOU CHANGED THE TOPIC OF DISCUSSION – I WAS NOT TALKING ABOUT SLAVERY.

“Chester,” AS YOU KNOW, I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN RURAL MISSISSIPPI. YOU MISUNDERSTOOD MY POINT IN REFERENCE TO CRAB AND LOBSTER. WHEN I WAS A CHILD IN THE EARLY 1970s, NEGROES BELIEVED THERE ARE TYPES OF FOOD “white folks eat” AND TYPES OF FOOD “black folks eat.” BECAUSE NEGROES WANT TO MIMIC EVERYTHING CAUCASIANS DO, IS THE REASON WHY THEY EAT CRAB AND LOBSTER, TODAY.

NEGROES ARE OBESE BECAUSE THEY ARE JEALOUS OF CAUCASIANS. PERIOD.

“Warrior,”

SIR, I WILL SAY, WHEN NEGROES SAW THE TYPES OF FOOD CAUCASIANS ATE, THEY BECAME JEALOUS. NEGRO CHILDREN ARE “CARBON COPIES” OF THEIR PARENTS. SCHOOL DESEGREGATION TAUGHT NEGROES THE ART OF “ENVY.”

WHY DO YOU THINK NEGROES – NOW – HAVE KITCHENS WITH ISLAND RANGE-TOPS, SHOWER STALLS AND JACUZZIS IN THEIR HOMES? [That is not "Keeping up with the Joneses;" that is keeping up with the "white man"].

Warrior and Mr.Horton, this “Physical Fitness” for the military is just another way to justify kicking people out who are perfectly fit to do their jobs, but really, now excess personnel. Much the same thing has gone on every time the US military has had to endure a major “Reduction in Force.”

“Chester,”

THIS MORNING, I VISITED A CASINO IN TUNICA COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI.

AN OBESE-NEGRO FEMALE WAS A SECURITY GUARD AT THIS CASINO. SHE WAS SO OBESE THAT SHE “WADDLED” – LIKE, A DUCK – WHEN SHE WALKED. IF SOMEONE IN THE CASINO HAD “SNATCHED” ANOTHER PERSON’S PURSE, OR, “WINNINGS-REDEMPTION TICKET” AND “RAN-OUT THE DOOR,” THIS SECURITY GUARD WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO OBESE TO CATCH THE THIEF.

SO, “Chester,” WHEN YOU SAY, ” … just another way to justify kicking people out who are perfectly fit to do their jobs … “, SIGNIFIES YOU ARE IGNORANT OF THE IMPACT PHYSICAL FITNESS HAS ON A JOB WHICH REQUIRES “BRUTE” STRENGTH.

“Karolyn,”

MA’AM, YOU ARE CORRECT. PEOPLE WITH CHILDREN GET MORE FOOD CREDIT.

“Karolyn,” MA’AM, I WAS TYPING AS A NEGRO. CAUCASIANS AND NEGROES PREPARE WEEKLY MEALS DIFFERENTLY.

LET US SAY, A NEGRO FAMILY WANTS FRIED PORK CHOPS, FRIED “ICE” POTATOES, MACARONI&CHEESE AND HOMEMADE BISCUITS [OR, GARLIC BREAD] FOR DINNER. THESE ITEMS WILL BE PREPARED IN LARGE COOKWARE, SO THERE WILL BE ENOUGH TO LAST THREE OR FOUR DAYS. [This is the reason why Negroes like microwave ovens - not for "popping" popcorn]. THEREFORE, “Karolyn,” WHEN YOU COOK “THREE-OR-FOUR-DAY MEALS” ON A CONSISTENT BASIS, YOUR MONTHLY FOOD BILL WILL NOT BE, AS HIGH AS, THOSE WHO PREPARE FRESH MEALS DAILY.

BECAUSE MOST NEGROES PREPARE THEIR FOOD IN A WAY WHICH LASTS, THOSE WITH EBT-Cards HAVE AN ABUNDANCE OF EXCESS FOOD CREDIT WHICH IS UTILIZED FRAUDULENTLY.
