Critical thinking and ridiculing - Are these the same? The first time I landed in America, i was taken aback with the fascination/dependence of america on paper. I was ridiculing the consumption of paper in this society. Forgetting the restroom, paper flyers/coupons, records, paper trail, packaging etc etc. Over time carnivorous animals were taking center stage and no matter what mr T-rex did, he was always the villian. A lion was only on the prowl, and would kill every thing in sight. Alligators, crocodiles, snakes all were out there ready to pounce on you and so on. Then came deluge of videos that wanted to make me thin. Frankly if i became any thinner, I should invest in some wings. There is not a single video out there that helps you gain weight to a reasonable level to make me healthier. Why is it that only all the fat people of this world should become healthier? Ok the word 'fat' may not be diplomatically correct, but since i am not taking names that should be fine. Gee, i am sure that each of you reading the blog thinks that i am calling you fat. :D!!!
Ok I forgot the part of critical thinking in all the side topics. Laters when I recall that.
BTW Wrestle Mania this week :)

t1: eat at fast food joints.. first eat food (ir)regularly u will gain weight.. eat at odd times..
11 am.. 5 pm.. 1 am.. then again at 9 am.... then 2 pm... then 8 pm.. then 3 am..
u will surely gain 20 pounds in one month..
tanman, have you looked around you?? do you think this country needs a video telling them how to gain weight?? i do not think its a good business idea (wt gain tricks)when your target market is all of 5% of the population.
trust me, you are better off the way you are.
Interesting post... firstly, in case that was a rhetorical question, the answer is no, critical thinking and ridiculing are not the same. One requires an objective, rational state of mind and the other doesn't.
Consumption period, let alone that of paper, is a big, frightening problem in this society. Everything in excess, the more the merrier, bigger is better, etc etc. Yuck.
And you're right, being 'healthy' does not necessarily mean being thin. There are plenty of people who may look good on the outside, but that is mainly because they have been blessed with fast metabolism. They may very well have poor diets, indulge in little or no exercise and have high cholesterol and other internal health issues.
Are you calling me fat?!?!?! Lol, j/k.
Yuck, I hate wrestling.
dude, do you read comments on your blog.. I m timing you now.. its 24 mins past 22nd hour of Wednesday, 29 th day of month March, year is 2006.
Yah, seriously... if you don't respond to your readers' comments, they'll get offended :D

if he does not then he is not getting any treat.
All my posts are very interesting. Get good visitors over here as well as good comments.
freshman 15 is so common when you are live by yourselof for the first year. But this post was not about weight loss or gain though many of us could use one or the other.
good ideas though i have tried all of T2's suggestions. I was grad student before you were ...
anonymous (as you choose to be) - It is so nice to see in the videos that all the people in the background are like models. if mr billy bob is showing fat people talking about their weight loss, then why doesn't he show fat people enjoying their exercise in the background!!
paapi pate ka sawaal hai.... thats why i am commenting.
tax ne mujhe poora choos liya hai.
taxes suck.. i hav to do mine too..
but i guess taxes help in keeping roads clean and bummpy. in tempes case, to dig them build them and dig them and build them again and dig them again.
Looks like all the roads in tempe are in construction.. this light rail thingy...
Oh, man I totally forgot about taxes. I hate numbers :P
come to my sis at H&R block on Ray and McClintock. Tell my name, she probably will do it free.
ok free ad again for a company. Tell your friends too :)
She'll do it for free? Sweet!
And btw, I take offense as the former (main) contributor to bkrn in regard to the 'in memory of'... this other blog isn't nearly as entertaining!
:) try again - you will probably be lucky sometime. It gives random logs.
she wont do it for free for anyone else except a chosen 5. Make it 4 since she has to do mine
In that case, I won't bother her :)
