If muscles were money, would hippies protest Gold's Gym?

in Chit-Chat
While working out today I spied a few guys with very nice bodies. Their hard work showed. They sacrificed, and sweated and performed the required steps to achieve their results. I'd bet these guys are in the top 1% of society in terms of fitness. Sure, they didn't build their bodies on their own - I mean...The Government had to collect taxes for the infrastructure required for the fitness center to have a place to operate. Sure, the 'little guy' build the machines and weights. Mom and Pop stores created and sold the nutrition. But these guys took what was freely available to EVERYONE and turned those ingredients into very big muscles and amazing levels of fitness. Some of them probably were born into their genetic disposition - I bet some fit folks build muscle easier than others. I'm sure some of them make more money than me - they can AFFORD healthy foods. Nobody..NOBODY forces me to buy fast food (I don't...but just saying Ultimately, I make the choice of what goes into my body). Never once have I thought about protesting them demanding they give their "fair share" of muscles to all the FAT folk or Super-thin folk out there who ALSO work hard at...uh...they work...uh...hrm...they work hard at whatever they are doing that does NOT produce "fitness". How much of their muscles would be 'fair' to simply cut from their bodies and apply to those who do not do what it takes to build muscle.

If I want fitness - or a measure of the same - I will have to conduct my life in a way that demands fitness as the consequence. If I want to to have a f'ing hot body, the solution is SIMPLE. I have to do the things that result in a f'ing hot body. I cannot do OTHER things and expect those results. I can work twice as hard at Madden 13 than anyone. I can pour myself into something like...riding my lawn mower and put honest effort into my photography. I'd easily be able to camp out, sh|t on cop cars, and disrupt the lives of others while DEMANDING "I work hard (at things other than making muscles) so i DESERVE YOUR Muscles!"

I'm a skinny-fat guy. I see guys with hot bodies and I don't wish for them to give me what they've earned. I look to them and (gasp!) become INSPIRED to create that body on ME.

but I'm just sayin....

    Maybe a gym tax...we could use it to fund self-esteem training for the under motivated.

    Oh god don't let that idea off this forum, it'll probably happen LOL.

    And YES to respond to your title, you're dang right that hippies would protest it if they thought about it. Those guys are obviously taking up more nutrition than their fair share should dictate and they should be forced to stop and share at least 80% of what they earn from it!

    I would say it depends on how you got your muscles... If you actually put in the work and earned it then no worries.. But if you cheated and used a bunch of steroids, human growth hormore, sugically altered your msucle mass, had liposuction or other cosmetic surgery or had your DNA spliced then yeah... I could see them having an issue with it.

    Especially if you hid your junk DNA in a shady account overseas so the FDA couldn't track it and hold you accountable. :P

    Oh, you'd probably assume everyone got big that way. They must be cheating if they have more than you.

    Everyone that has more must be cheating and some way!! There's no way that they have more talent or are better than me, my mom and teachers told me so my entire life!!

    Now excuse me while I go confiscate my neighbors boat...I don't have one and think that I deserve it dang it!

    Nah! I don't think real hippies would protest it. It would require too much energy to get out there and protest. Really, man, I think he/she would just rather stay sprawled out there on the floor listening to tunes and waiting to Bogart that next doobie.
