  At no time in my original post was there any reference to radio. You made that comparison. As such, if there is an argument you wish to prove regarding radio vs. television, be my guest. It is apparently an angle of interest to you.

  Most of your other comments seem to reinforce my viewpoints expressed in this and other threads. So that must mean we are in agreement.

  As far as fat being more predominant today, and related to sedentary activities, IMO I've demonstrated ample facts supporting that statement.

  Regardless of the fact that there were fat people in Hawaii 8000 years ago.

  bisous,

  Sigh.

  : As far as fat being more predominant today, and related to sedentary activities, IMO I've demonstrated ample facts supporting that statement.

  Yeah? Where? When you assert "more predominant today," you mean there are more per capita fat people today than say 500 years ago, or 100 years ago, or 50 years ago.

  Where are those "facts" that you've so "amply" demonstrated? The only "evidence" you presented was something to the effect that "watching TV can make you fat." My argument was that in the 1930's listening to the radio for the same number of hours can also do the same thing.

  In fact, ANY sedentary activity, even bird watching (if done the same number of hours as watching television) can make people get fat.

  If you want to make any sort of decent argument, then be an advocate for less sedentary stuff and more exercise. But don't just blame TV. TV is only one of the many problems. How about people who spend the same number of hours on the internet? What's the difference?

  But if you do become an advocate for people doing generically less sedentary stuff, you'll be stating the obvious, and people will think you the fool for doing so. However, if you don't do that and blame only TV, people will think you the fool for doing so.

  Therefore, you'd better shut up and go jogging, my friend.

  By the way, this thread was about boobs and we nearly hijacked it. I'm sorry for that. I think boobs are a much more noble subject than TV.

  Now go jogging and get cracking! And if you must respond, make sure you bring up something about Janet Jackson's boobs, or start your own thread.

  I have nothing to say about Janet Jackson's boobs, except I'm sure she's happy she has them.

  Over weight Americans. Fat Americans. I have seen TV *gasp* shows from all over the world. I have seen fat Brits and Fat Russians. I have seen fat Germans. When are people going to realize that Americans aren't fatter than most developed countries' citizens? I wonder if the idea of Americans being so much fatter than the rest of the world is promoted by the vast and lucrative diet industry. I was watching that show Finds on PBS, the bargain hunting show from Britain. I think Finds is the name anyway. All four of the women they chose to hunt the bargains were fat and I might add: they were beautiful.
  

  Now, I realize that the fat remarks were in gest. This is not directed at Bisous or Farkel. Bisous is a good gal. I do want all on JWD to think about this though: do you care about hurting people on this board? Do you realize we have our share of overweight Americans, Canadians and Brits posting here at JWD? Some of us are fat. Now, I don't care if you say, "Heather, you are fat." When I was thin, I used to complain around fat people because I had 3 lbs to lose. I unintentionally made some people mad. I got put in my place. I figure, hey, I wasn't always as sensative to other's feelings either. I am reaping what I sowed, though I never said something like that on purpose to hurt people. I'm fat now. It's not as simple a health problem to solve as it looks like it is. I know this now. I don't care if you must remark about me but your remarks are going to tell me a lot about you.

  There are people here who are plump or fat who do feel hurt when people make shallow, ignorant remarks about fatness. I recall one former elder saying he didn't like flab bag women. I'm sure this didn't sit well with many of the women. I lost respect for him.

  Edited for Farkel: Janet Jackson's boob.

  Bill Maher made a good point the other day. When 9/11 happened, those in the media wondered how we could be so trivial and self-absorbed to obssess on sharks, and Gary Condit, and other unimportant matters, and how 9/11 made it seem we would never waste time on such matters again. Remember the phrase, "Oh, that's so September 10th!" to refer to such banalities? Well, Janet Jackson's boob proved them all wrong. It's almost as if 9/11 never happened.

  Farkel, the only thing you've proven is you're a little ridiculous....but maybe that is living up to your screen name.

  I did post regarding the topic, you hijacked with your silly detour regarding radio and my wisecrack at the end of my post. The only thing that needs jogging is your memory.

  250,000 people complain to the fcc about the showing of a right tit on tv, whilst everyone ignores a right tit in the white house.

  That's not an argument, that's not a rebuttal. That is just name-calling. People who can't answer real arguments usually resort to it. Like you.

  With regards to MY hijacking, you silly twit: the thread was about breasts, and YOU brought up the subject of fat TV watchers. I merely responded. YOU were the original hijacker, not me. At worst, I abettedyour original hijack. But I didn't hijack YOUR hijack, I merely pointed out the faults in your original hijack. So, it turns out you are also a hypocrite by accusing ME of hijacking this thread, but that doesn't surprise me. And it won't surprise anyone who is serious and reads our comments to each other, either. People like you count on stupid and supercilious readers to believe and buy into your bad arguments. There are more people who are not like that in here than there are who are like that in here. Farkel

  farkel, you are a funny dude....

  Not all posts require argument or rebuttal, but can sometimes just be opinion. I confess it ... you win, you lured me in with your bait of insulting language "your statements are really stupid" and I bit, hook line and sinker. Shame on me. I stand by all of the posts I made....wouldn't change a word and IMO they all were as valid as your generalizations.

  But now I tire of this petty little string....arguing for argument sake. Maybe on another thread, another topic.

  Ahh yes, and make sure to get another word in about what a bad arguer I am and how posters like me always run off or quit because we are silly twits and great big hypocrites.
