heh. you americans....I'm Canadian, and we never made the mistake of privatizing health care so much that you'll die if you don't have coverage. true, Canadian health care has issues, but its one HELL of a lot better than what you yanks have.... or rather, given the health care bill passing, had. Even IF it isn't written so its stupid ( which it looks like it has) it'll take you guys years to get up to our standards. guess micheal moore's Sicko finally opened enough eyes that things were done about the problem.

Michael Moore fills with me a ridiculous amount of rage and hatred for a single human being

rage for michael moore? or rage for the inadequacy of the american heath care system?

dont get me wrong a national health care plan is great... woo go health care... but what i really need is a national job plan... that will help me get a job that can help pay for said national health care plan... >.<

i mean im pretty sad here, ive got friends living with parents with little more than a GED looking for jobs and getting any... lol little do they know im sitting pretty on a righteous bachelors degree and still not getting a job either... i mean i have a job, but its not any more than a job i could have gotten without said bachelors degree... i mean christ one of my co workers isnt even out of highschool yet...

hence my interest in squatting, train hopping, and general homelessness... because in such a situation the government has no just ability to fine me for no medical insurance... seeing as i dont even have a home. that and as a homeless wandering garbage eating bum... i can run away from all my school debt too... ._. most of which is federal... gonk

Rage for Michael Moore? What causes him to do that?

Just my opinion, but I honestly believe that most of the anger towards Michael Moore is mostly because he puts an entertaining spin on things and often makes fun of situations and such. Rather than just report facts as is (as there are lots of facts in the movies I've seen), he'll have fun with the information too.

I do know he's biased too and will put a biased spin on things usually for humor, but the facts he talks of remain. His making fun of things is what I think gets most people angry at him. Maybe that's just me though.

Doesn't sound like a great situation there. I hope there's something that could be done in the future to fix things. sad

I think michael moore is hated because he exaggerates the facts and bends the truth. The fact is, though, in general, he's pretty much right. Sure he distorts here and there. Sure he stretches here and there. But he has a point.


My "Fat acceptance" friend is starting to piss me off with her femi-nazi attitude. She's overweight and hates herself because of it, so she's constantly trying to overcome her depression by acting as if being overweight is the most wonderful thing in the world.

Now, some people go about being overweight and lead healthy lives. But some people go from 150 to 500 and can't leave their ******** house. But anytime, ANYTIME anyone says anything about dieting, exercise, or eating healthy, or mentions obesity epidemic or blames it on bad eating, she goes into rabid b***h mode. She does not tolerate anything she sees as being negative towards overweight people. Even if someone who's overweight decides to exercise, she gets pissed off at them and tells them they're giving in to the system and fat hatred and prejudice and should accept themselves.

It's getting stupid, and even though we've been friends for 10 years I'm about to either de-friend her or punch her in the ******** face... :/  

[Jungle Boots]

i suggest a de-friending... and a punch in the face... but make it the face of a baby...

because thats funny.

but yeah garek im not really that destitute.. i have a job, not a good job but a job. and a loving family that will always help me out of jams...

but i have an interesting take on fine art. and right now im investigating the cultures of punk squatters, train hoppers, and anarchists in the hopes to create a body of work representing their values, and also helping spread their ideas, and help them all at the same time.

like im helping a local anarchist collective build some home made wind turbine generators. and even some home made solar pannels. all for free... and maybe maybe ill make some sculptures for them, most of the collective are artists themselves. its just a hard lifestyle to maintain if i need to pay off school debt and now health inssurance.

But the prospect of homelessness to me is almost neccessary to get the real experience of the lifestyle and the real understanding of the values. not to mention i am pretty much right there with them on everything to begin with so there is kind of a romantic desire for freedom motivating this body of work too...

Whew...It;s been awhile since I've posted. Apologies.
I've been spending a lot of time on my mule account which you'll see me posting through on occasion.
I just thought I'd post here before I art dump in that subforum >.<

Yeah, the exaggeration is what pisses me off. That's why I dislike Al Gore too. He's started with this exaggeration about global warming, playing to people's fears.

I can't believe I got warned for flaming and had my post deleted by a mod TWO MONTHS or so after I made the post...

Gaia moderators, get on your ******** job or don't even bother. A two month response time sucks a**. There's no point if it takes that long, the incident is long over after that!


Also, my "fat acceptance" friend, me and her made up. She realized she had misstood me.

I don't know how to explain her hysteria over this. I think it's great to accept yourself for who you are. I think it's great to fight against mistreatment towards plus-size people.

But yet my friend... here's an example. She threatened to de-friend any one of her friends if they're on any kind of diet or exercise. Because, if you're on a diet or exercising, you aren't accepting yourself for who you are and you have a negative attitude towards your weight and body type. So she was telling people basically "Don't diet or don't be my friend" as if she could control other people's lives. Now, she reversed her decision, but when anyone mentions diet or exercise, she pulls up numerous random websites proving that diet and exercise never work and are actually harmful to your body, because as we all know everything online is true.

She's just annoying with that crap, because her behavior doesn't say self-acceptance, it doesn't say self-esteem, it doesn't say "fat people shouldn't be treated like crap," It says more "I'm fat and ugly and it's the rest of the world's fault I have low self-esteem". I don't entirely blame her, she's on psychotropic drugs for a condition that make her depressed and moody, and she had an ovarian cyst which probably screwed her hormones up good.

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

why is the art subforum so dead all the time?
PAY ATTENTION TO MEEEEE BAWWWWW


No really, we need to resuscitate it. The only reason I post most of the time is to show new art in the junkyard or show off art I've gotten in the commissions thread. It's kinda disheartening when only three people post in there on average

Meh, there's nothing wrong with accepting yourself for your body image. But with that body image ya need to be at least aware of the health risks. Being overweight makes ya more susceptible to Diabetes and Heart Disease. Also carrying around extra weight on your body weakens your bones. So even if she does decide to stay with her current body weight, she should increase her intake of certain vitamins. So a multivitamin with B6, B12, C, D, and E would be beneficial for her general health. It wouldn't be a cure-all, just a preventative measure.

Plus, if she ever went to a gym, she'd see that not everyone is twigs. I personally see a lot of people with bellys and thunder thighs. It's fine to have some fluff long as ya do some cardio-vascular to keep your heart worked and have a little bit of muscle to help ya into your old age gracefully so that she isn't one of the old ladies that is in physical pain every time she has to sit down or stand up.

I thought once you got to a certain age it doesn't matter and it would take you hours to get up or sit down? gonk
