Socialists out there?

6months_to_go

Hi everyone! I wanted to form a group of like minded people who are socialists and want to make themselves healthier, fitter and stronger to be able to work for a better world.

Sound like you?

Join the group! Socialists For Healthy Bodies

Interesting! I am conservative and find the Socialist platform very very disturbing. But...that is not the point of MFP. I welcome you aboard MFP and think that it is great that you have formed this group for like-minded people to get fit. Forget about politics for a second.....we are all human and there is a massive problem in the US with obesity. So, bravo for you for starting this group. Finding like-minded people (in this case, politically) will only assist in y'alls weight loss journey.

I am 51yo, male and in pretty good shape. If you have any fitness or nutrition questions, please feel free to PM me. I am always glad to help people along their fitness journey. It helps me, too! If I can not explain something well (meaning, find the right words so that someone else can understand) then that means that I do not understand it as well as I seem to think!

Hey folks - Just a reminder - here are a few of our community guidelines:

15. Divisive Topics Are Better Suited For Groups, Not the Main Forums

Divisive topics and posts, particularly those that seek input from or are relevant only to a select group of users, are better placed within an appropriate Group rather than the Main Forums. For example, topics relevant to only one religion should not be placed on the main forums but rather within a group related to that religion.


16. No Political Topics in the Main Forums

Political content is not allowed on the Main Forums. This includes images. Please form or join a Group if you would like to engage in political debate on MyFitnessPal.

It's completely alright to create a group for divisive and political topics - especially since those types of discussions are not allowed on the main forums.


PLEASE DO NOT TURN THIS THREAD INTO A POLITICAL DEBATE. If that happens, it will be locked and warnings will be issued.

OP, welcome back to MFP.

Hey, Miss Moderator. In no way was I going to turn this into a political debate. Not my intent. Just glad that they have created a group of like-minded folks! And are working towards a healthier 'them'. :-)

My note wasn't directed at you. It was a general notice so we don't lose our heads.

According to US American definition I would probably be a socialist. Based on European definitions left of the centre. I still don't put political believe into my own health programme

I was pretty sure of that....I just wanted to be super clear with you. Don't want any "you have been warned" messages! :-)
