^^^^ this physical activity has a health and fitness benefit, whether or not it meets the dictionary definition of "exercise" One of the main reasons why there was less obesity in the past was because people had more active lifestyles, including jobs that had them on their feet all day lifting and carrying stuff, or even…

this ^^^ that many miles a day he must be some kind of manual worker. No way someone's going to walk 10 miles pottering around an office. I used to work as a postman years ago, I worked out that I must have walked at least 10 miles a day, i.e. all round the streets I had to deliver to, twice a day, plus going up and down…

I'm not that keen on Chinese food but I love all kinds of other foods, and how I deal with restaurant meals depends on the situation: 1. for a special occasion which isn't going to happen that often, I order what I want and sod the calories... I stop eating when I'm full and take the rest home and make another meal of it…

I aim to be healthy, fit and very strong. Looking good is a side effect from that. Yes of course I want to look good... but my primary objectives are health, fitness and strength.

From personal experience, because the digital scale gives you the exact number of grams... the analogue scale unless it's an industrial size one like at a butchers or grocers, each mark on the scale is like 10 or 25g - measuring exactly 5g of something is difficult. When it comes to things like salad dressings, mayonnaise…

the amount of carbohydrate you need to eat depends on your size and your activity levels. Personally, if I was that much into potatoes I'd find ways to be more active (e.g. doing cardio each day) to be able to eat more potatoes. So it's not really possible to give a one size fits all recommendation for carbohydrates.…

I've tried measuring on a non-digital scale in the past... it is much less accurate, but it's better than guesstimating if that's all you have until you can get a new battery. My first kitchen scale died so when I got a second one I got one that ran off regular AA batteries, simply to avoid the hassle of having to get a…

Don't try to eat if you're not keeping anything down. Just aim to stay hydrated (clear liquids only). When the sickness lessens, you can try to eat something again. The BRAT diet is usually what's recommended for stomach upsets - banana, rice, applesauce, toast. But don't force yourself to eat if you don't feel up to it.…

there are loads: https://www.google.com.bh/search?q=cat+wearing+tin+foil+hat&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=xx67U-PTMKHW0QXnkoDAAQ&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ&biw=1366&bih=633

I think Ordo Templi Orientis is better though. Crowley had more imagination than other people who rebelled against christianity.

You clearly know absolutely jack sh** about Islam, because you have no freaking idea who Allah is. Sad, because if you did, you would not speak of him as you do. Seriously. Allah is God. It's Arabic for God. Just like Arabic for "table" is "tawla" Go read any Arabic translation of the bible. the word Allah (in Arabic…

I'm not angry. I couldn't really give a damn if people think I'm a lesbian or not (unless it's a man I want to have sex with, then I have a vested interested in him knowing that I'm straight). Some of my best friends (and one of my cousins) are lesbians. I'm just using myself as an example of why stereotypes are wrong, and…

Allah is God. If you read an Arabic translation of the bible, you'll find the Arabic word "Allah" everywhere that God is mentioned. Muhammad recognised Jesus as a prophet and the messiah - and also that Jesus is still alive, but wasn't resurrected because he never died. So he was definitely talking about the same God that…

It's not a universal thing, not by a long shot!! Cultural differences are NOT biological differences - they are learned behaviours and attitudes. Cultures that go barefoot or wear sandals don't have problems with stinky feet. Women have smelly armpits too (if both genders go unwashed, they both smell bad) so if in one…

I was raised to see other people as human first, and other things like skin colour, gender, etc as secondary. So I don't mentally categorise people according to gender, ethnic origin, sexuality, etc, because it makes no sense to me. People are people. Generalisations are stereotypes and when you question them, you find too…

I agree. If human women were really as fragile as sexist people make out that we are, we would never have survived the palaeolithic era.

Straight men smell? Really?? You've met every straight man whose shared accommodation with other straight men and checked this fact for yourself? My comment was about stereotypes. Your assertion that straight men smell... well that's a stereotype. Stereotypes are one of the foundations upon which prejudice grows. According…

Thor > Zeus

but... but... you can't make a sammich with only middle palaeolithic technology....

I'm sure you're right about those particular ones........ but the ones I used to be friends with weren't like that. Considering the differences in beliefs in that particular pagan community (all the different branches of paganism in one community) I think they were extremely good at accepting everyone regardless of…

<--- is Wilma, the female neanderthal in my avatar, a precious piece of porcelain that should only be got out on special occasions?

The Unitarians. Never met a bigoted Unitarian. Actually, I'm going to add Thelemites and Wiccans and a few other kinds of pagans. They're pretty good at not being bigoted.

That is incredibly sexist against men. I have a good idea, let's take all the stereotypes about all kinds of people, and throw them all in a big skip, and then shoot that skip out into space and then nuke it, and start regarding each person as an individual human being, who may or may not have some things in common with…

I'm pretty sure this thread will be closed down as soon as the mods become aware of its existence. I don't think they are prejudiced against Christians.

Crowley's Law of Thelema is much better though. Crowley > LaVey *not a Thelemite... just speaking in academic terms because comparative religion is fun ETA: for "just speaking in academic terms because comparative religion is fun" read "stirring the pot" :bigsmile: ... But I do think Aleister Crowley is better than Anton…

Yes there's a mating signal. The female flashes her bottom at the male, and he duly steps up to the task. Oh wait... that's chimpanzees...... although I think it would probably still work with humans some of the time.

I already said I was being facetious with the Satanist comment... (the rest of the comment was serious - I was trying to highlight that the similarities in religion are much greater than the differences) - I clarified in my last post on this thread

I was being facetious with the Satanist comment. :bigsmile: sorry about that. I've known Satanists and people who would be considered to be Satanists by most Christians even though they don't call themselves that, and I agree, they don't disagree 100% with Christianity. There is a lot of common ground even between…

How can you disagree 100% with Catholicism and still be a Protestant? Catholics are Christians and so to disagree 100% with Catholicism, you'd have to disagree with all the teachings of Christianity. If you disagree with all the teachings of Christianity, wouldn't that make you a Satanist?

Okay, would you like to go and tell the physiology lecturer at my university that he's mistaken then? Along with all the authors of physiology 101 textbooks? Low carb =/= running entirely on fat, nor is low fat dieting what I was talking about. Running out of all carbohydrate stores in your body is what I'm talking about.…
