  1. Indeed It's not like one side is stronger than other It all depends on individuals who channel the force and their capabilities
  2. No one is trying to take McDonalds away, geez You can eat as much as you want. But we're looking at big picture here Volo, I also wonder how healthy you would be with better diet - something akin Meshugger's suggestion. You might be surprised by its effects
  3. Nor do you find much sophistication when they found that stable in Britain where people would come and pay for engaging in sexual intercourse with horses now do you.... Have sex with horses? That is so tame and uncool This is how real men roll
  4. If you make this kind of statement, you must be prepared to drown all opposition in a ****load of statistics that back you. And, for all its comical value, "Supersize ME" proves jack, from a statistical standpoint. It's false, too. "Junkfood" in controlled amounts and otherwise healthy habits will not make you fat. Your arteries, heart, liver, etc might not be too happy about it, but that's an entirely different issue. Well duh, of course it is in controlled amounts ok. Problem is in modern era more and more people drift to eating it way too often - and way too often isn't even close to Supersize ME level wackiness. Other effects you mentioned alone are good reason why there should be campaigns against junkfood. Obesity didn't start with the onset of Mcfood. It wouldn't end if you removed it, either. Unhealthy eating habits have found a way of materialising in fast food restaurants, but being fat is a choice, 99% of the time. Nope, it didn't start and I never said that. Outside world largerly affects how much easier it is to make "wrong" choice in this kind of thing. Using drugs is choice too. It doesn't mean we should let our surroundings to get into state where making "wrong" choice instead of "right" choice is propabilistically higher and higher with each passing year. There are countless ways how our modern western lifestyle, merchandising, brands and all that jazz affects people and lead them to junkfood places they wouldn't otherwise go. Yes. It's a good exercise at pointing the obvious. A huge surplus of calories + zero activity = fatty. I don't think anyone disputed that? Yes, some people dispute that. ( See Volourn's "HEALTHY JUNKFOOD" part for quick reference ) And "junkfood companies" have for a long time tried to make bad health effects seem lesser than they are in eyes of media.
  5. Are you playing dumb? Statistics include irregularities. Fast food does make most people fat. It would make even you but since I don't know you any better I don't know just how much would you have to eat. I was a bit unclear. I didn't mean McDonalds as I was speaking about whole junkfood "industry". I'm talking about big shots who fight for having ****ty, unhealthy food in schools which's effect have been catastrophal especially in England. Aahh, but WHY people want to buy? And why nowadays the business is so much bigger and its results more damaging? What is it that leads people into mindlessly consuming junkfood by mass day after day? And why overall situation is so different now than it used to be? Nothing wrong with this kind of lobbying as it is based on true, studied and tested scientific knowledge and common sense instead of done for money and business deals by greedy businessment with questionable means including censoring and spreading false imago etc. something tobacco industry has mastered aeons ago. Give good thought for those questions I posed earlier. Answers encompass this. Nobody's taking your fries away from you. Of course this doesn't mean you haven't had need or should've gone to hospital. And one individual doesn't cause stress on health industries. Causes are the slumbering, overweight masses that grow day after day. All it does are exaggarating to cause greatest effect. It helped to spread thinking among people who had previously somewhat knew junkfood wasn't healthy but then just shoveled the thought to some dark corner of their minds. Not to mention it helped to deal with gargantual megalunches which no sane human would naturally want to eat and which exist only to make easy money. Edit: "Deal with" aka making them disappear from the market Wrong, there's people like this. And like Gorgon already said, you missed the point of the movie.
  6. KotOR II could be considered as heretic to SW canon in many, many ways. I wonder if this nature of plot and themes is one of ther reason why LA is so reluctant in giving OE second chance.
  7. Indeed one does find brutalities all over the globe, but in civilized societies, especially western, do I find them more gruesome due to their sophistication and premeditated thought We're dealing with a RELIGIOUS CULT here. You don't find much sophistication or careful thinking here
  8. No, you're the exception that proves the fact. Not fatal flaw that debunks it. Gaining weight is weird process that is unique to everyone. People with very fast metabolism (I know few) have hard time if they want to get obese - and you're part of this small(er) group. Of course very fast metabolism has its negative sides in it too... And then there are these weird cases. Some people (or maybe all, I'm not sure) can start to gain weight (not just muscle mass mind you) from exercising too. But it is statistical fact that junkfood fattens people. It is unhealthy and poor food which shouldn't be eaten too often. Once a week would be the ideal frequency for average person. ( Of course not eating at all would be even better option, heh) If every single fastfood chain and shop was closed down at this very moment for all eternity in following years sick overweightness would start to drop dramatically. And that is fact. You give humongous power to human beings when it comes to making decisions like these, power they don't have. What meshugger said FTW. I find it ludicruous some people like you and taks would go and start to lambasting Supersize Me based on this or the fact it exaggarates the process to make the very important point. Only "sin" that flick has exaggaration of the eating habits at hand, nothing else. What movie shows and speaks is truth. Contrasting this one movie with the ridiculous lobbying these big companies have on goverment(s)... They're not even near the same level
  9. Only highlighting ignorant, oversimplificating and baseless claim you made You can't possibly be serious, btw. Well the western society as much as advance draws with it a constant, rather small amount of, not barbaric, but kind of sophisticated sickness... But you find this kind of **** - and WORSE - from everywhere. See Japan for example. Not to mention some uncivilized tribes deep in heart of Africa. Or China. Or... it's never ending list
  10. I disagree. While it may seem that way, this is only because the movies showed that kind of system. This is because GL governs the laws of this particular universe and one of these laws happens to be "Thou shalt live amidst absolute morality".
  11. Ah, it is always lovely when outsiders get jealous of our pure, soft and beautiful white colour we nordic people share
  12. HUR HUR HUUUURRRR
  13. No, no, no! It is a battle between what is often perceived as good and what is often perceived as evil. Personally, I believe the entire world, thanks to the way it was introduced, has a major bias towards the "Darkside" that will be very hard to overcome. And you're just stupid then SW is black and white There is BAD, and there is GOOD Oh, and siths are ridiculous, moronic and without any depth in their philosophy. Something jedis - for all their faults - at least have
  14. "Not Big Macs, french fries and chocolate shakes, but salads, wraps and apple dippers without the caramel sauce. " Yeah Volourn, what a great way of debunking Supersize Me!
  15. Crap, this haven't happened for me in ages. I started second game immeaditly after finishing Bloodlines. Oh, and not only one, but THREE (and that is unheard of. I guess that could be interpreted I loved the game... One as badass "**** you ****" brujah chick (just reached Downtown) Other one as crazy malkavian babe And third as male ventrue (whose personality I ripped off from Gendo Ikari who fits in VtM very well ) On the top of that I started Arcanum, hoping for once I'll finish the game Looks like it'll be all Troika for me for the following weeks \o/
  16. RIP lawl
  17. I forgot to say, of course, that is one of the sickest things I've ever heard
  18. After weeks of playing VtM:B that sounds your average freaky mission Except this time it was real. I didn't know about that eating thing
