Not true. Most Colombians get fat when they move to Europe.

Hmm, one of my friends’ kids slept outside for a couple of years just for the hell of it. Who knew he could have made so much money?

A lot more walking and bicycling in Europe too. American food is poison though, which is odd because they have access to a lot of ingredients. When it comes to food I think Americans accept a lower standard for convenience sake, it’s the convenience that lets the whole run crooked.

For me (and my family) it's because as Americans we walk around a lot in Europe when we find out something is just a 2 mile journey instead of a 20 mile journey. In addition we're there to see stuff and walk through streets in cities that aren't at all like ours. Every time I go to Europe I end up walking over a hundred miles a week.

Holy shit, these guys are drinking some major kool aid. Order two mcChickes, add cheese to one, Mac sauce to the other, throwaway one top bun. That’s it. There you have it, for fuck sake.

Cool... now lets just fund cancer and hospice care so kids can focus on things other than plugging the gaps in our failing systems.

Funny. I thought he was GOP because he wouldn't resign.

It's not like calling them something else would help. Anything we come up with will eventually be construed as misogynistic (and indeed would even be intended as such by some people). Just calling them arseholes would not communicate what specific sort of arsehole you mean.

Haven’t you heard, being fit is now republican and being overweight is now liberal. There’s no body positivity movement on the right, and the left is has taken personal responsibility out of the equation.

I'd bet the biggest factor is that they're more active, walking to train stations, seeing sights.

Reply to comment by Irate_Alligate1 in Insulate Britain protesters jailed for seven weeks for mentioning climate change in defence by Mighty_L_LORT
This is one of those situations where the way the law works doesn't always make sense to someone who isn't immersed in it.
The critical issue here is that "I broke the law to bring attention to climate change" isn't a legally recognized defense. It was the judge's job here to exclude it as an irrelevant attempt to influence the jury with emotion rather than a legal or factual argument. That's because the way the system is set up, the jury is supposed to consider only the narrow issue of whether the accused committed all the elements of the crime or not.
The law is set up the way it is; it doesn't care why someone did something in a case like this, only whether or not they did it. The judge's job is to follow the law. The judge had no choice but to exclude.
You might think that's wrong, and reasonable people can argue that point. But that's a question for the legislature. The judge doesn't have the freedom to make that call without exceeding their authority.
