No, I'm saying that root can lose weight without looking like a decompressed balloon... -Lynx

You and X should really hit it off - Common interest... -Lynx

Yeah, and probably off terrain cross country... -Lynx

All sounds easy enough to me... But I guess I'm pretty fanatic about fitness... -Lynx

I voted that I didn't care, because I'm a hard core !@#$%^&* like that... -Lynx

How do you know they all enjoy programming... Anybody with some freaking knowledge would KNOW what girls with their first name starting in C **DON'T** code... !@#$%^&*ing rookies these days... -Lynx

I beg to differ; I've seen people roots size get themselves to a decent figure - but knowing root, I know he will never actually put the effort needed to get fit, because I know he will say "I don't have enough free time" or something... -Lynx

You'd like my arms then HIYOO

@Root: If you're joining the Army because you want to lose weight, then you're a !@#$%^&*. Join a gym. =/ -Lynx

I'm going to download that game and ruin your fun. -Lynx

My friend is joining the RAF to do fitness etc - they offered him good prospects, and very good pay. I was considering it myself... Then again, maybe not. -Lynx

Good luck with your endeavours, but I was just wondering about something you said in another post... You mentioned that there's a 22% bodyfat requirement to join the army, or something like that? Are you sure that's correct, because to me that seems completely re!@#$%^&*ed, unless the bodyfat measurements in the UK differ to the ones taken in the UK? Clue me in? -Lynx

What are you trying to imply, exactly? -Lynx

Ooh Sky is reading... You just got Own't, son. -Lynx

Moustache isn't fully rendered yet... =/ -Lynx

Fresh meat

I'm just impressed that dudes leg is more white than that white chair. 0.o -Lynx

they're as bad as eachother, and are simply a mix of poor understanding of differences and fear. -lynx

Don't get it..

Snrrrub provides hosting, but as far as I know he doesn't require a tag. -Lynx

Even if he did have a helmet on, he could have easily been seriously injured. The dude got freaking own't into a curb. -Lynx

This is an organised bicycle protest. Do I need to start going all nationalistic to show how wrong it is to stop somebody riding their on a road in a 'free country' - or even say how ethically wrong it is to dismiss protest in general? -Lynx

Aileron: Hrmm, I really doubt that racism being considered a more taboo thing than sexism is really anything to do with the Democrats and Republicans - although that may have altered some very specific people in America, it doesn't really affect any audience other than that - and ergo that argument, although partially valid, shouldn't really be considered in the larger scheme of things. I'll put it like this: We, as humans, simply follow the crowd, and general views of the majority. If we see somebody wearing something different, then we will attack them - as humans in general are very conservative creatures. Although it's 'morally' wrong to attack somebody because they're wearing really tight jeans, or a stupid hat - it's obviously not deemed as bad as shouting a derogatory term to somebody because they're skin colour is a different colour, as skin colour isn't a choice. This is due to our conservative values - change has a very high chance of failure, and so when a new en!@#$%^&*y is added into any equation, we will attack it to see whether it is either a good thing, or a bad thing. It's not been that long, relatively speaking, since black people first started coming to America, England - or wherever 'en m!@#$%^&*', and let's face it, they didn't exactly get a red-carpet welcome. Although racism is a very broad term, it is still happening daily even now in the media, however - it is no longer printed so frankly, it's just a little more diluted. I'll use this example: If you are from the UK, and read any of the !@#$%^&*-rag blue-collar newspapers like 'The Sun' - then you will see a lot of diluted racism by writers who shouldn't be trusted with a pen - ever. However, it won't be in-your-face racism - it will be slightly diluted. It will be general complaints of immigration, and some pseudo-artistic drawing of 'all the English' leaving for Australia, while the Polish 'criminals' all come into England. This, therefore, makes racism a much more 'persistent' issue - as it can continue happening - all of the time. Sexism, on the other hand - is different. Generally, we're always around women. They give birth to us, they may bring us up into adults - we have relationships with them, marry them, and whatever else.. (In most cases, anyway). Therefore, there's not much change - at all. However, the reason that sexism may have initially occurred, is due to men simply being a more powerful en!@#$%^&*y (not trying to be sexist here.. ) - but we can generally over-power women. Due to this, men, in general, in many countries (and it's still happening now) - hold a higher 'social' status than women. Again, (in the UK) - it's not been that long since women could even vote. And it's still quite a conformity that women are housewife's, looking after the 'cave' while the 'powerful' male goes out and brings back the meat. Although these are quite grotesque analogies, you can generally get the drift of where I'm coming from. I mean, I could get all end-game and say that we're all white sheep, and ridicule the 'baa baa black sheep' - but that would be going a little too far. I think that on a longer enough time-scale, racism, sexism and whatever-ism will eventually fade into history, however, I'm sure that it will be covered by social differences. School kids always need the leaders of the group, and if there's leaders of the groups, there has to be an outcast... This is where racism and 'bullying' of all sorts occurs. I'm not trying to say that we - as humans, are racist narcissistic pricks naturally per se, but I am saying that if we weren't as bright as we are, things would be much worse. I think that racism and sexism generally gets lost as you 'broaden your horizons' however, this isn't a generally easy thing to do... I mean - picture yourself, then picture yourself walking into a room. If there were five crowds in that room, and one crowd were all dressed like you, doing the things you enjoy doing - are you going to go for that crowd, or are you going to go for the crowd doing something that you do not enjoy doing (whether you know you don't enjoy whatever, or not)... Aceflyer: Look at the broader traits of the problem at hand here. People are attacking a difference - whether it be skin or boobies, we're attacking it. Whether we're attacking it by calling it derogatory names, or we're attacking it by telling it to wash the dishes isn't relevant. Due to this, scientific evidence of racism or sexism being as bad is going to be extremely hard to come by. Also, a clinical difference isn't of any impact in this conversation at all, this is merely an opinion which you've gathered in your study - and anything of which is still generally an opinion. Unless you've got two respectively identical humans, but one being black, and the other white - you will never have any true fair test to see what the differences are between them. The same goes for female/male differences. (This is also an impossible test)... I think the best way to solve these little questions in life is to pick up a history book, and look at human behaviour. Then, through trial and error - come to your own conclusion. Although it may be some pseudo-Freudian analysis of mindless dribble, at least you will have your own view, which you will no doubt be used to attack some poor !@#$%^&* anyway - which leads us right back to square one. Just my humble opinion, -Lynx

Topped with Blue Cheese and a free beret. -Lynx

Man, I'd love it if that thing turned ugly and that police officer got beaten the !@#$%^&* out of. That would have made my day. -Lynx
