It's all because of them that we are collectively the fattest country in the world. Think about it.

Somehow we have become addicted to overworking ourselves. I think in general both sexes are uptight, ladies on the micro level and guys on the macro level.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14526768359403038489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510429.post-1145107565268892672006-04-15T09:26:00.000-04:002006-04-15T09:26:00.000-04:00It doesn't offend me, but I'm rather uptight.

The Xtians, Muslims, Jews, etc...funny though they all think everyone else is going to hell, their religions are all spawned more or less from the same source.<BR/><BR/>I've come to the conclusion that though I don't hate people, I generally hate being around them.

You've been dissed here? I don't remember that, unless it was something I said, which I do all the time without thinking.<BR/><BR/>messiah - thanks. And I think the lawsuits are a mixture of people being too uptight, not taking responsibility for their own actions, and the fact that they've seen so many companies pay big money rather than risk going to court.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08040058320473775641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510429.post-1145042044918767742006-04-14T15:14:00.000-04:002006-04-14T15:14:00.000-04:00sorry leesa - i think you meant parrhesia?that's k...sorry leesa - i think you meant parrhesia?<BR/><BR/>that's kind of what i like best about grant - sort of a laid back, kiss my ass, this is the real me attitude.<BR/><BR/>of course, it may explain being single.<BR/><BR/>i'm not convinced being uptight has anything to do with sueing everyone - i think that may just be a poor legal system. or your president being used as a role model.paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00877492628206201961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510429.post-1145042035817341192006-04-14T15:13:00.000-04:002006-04-14T15:13:00.000-04:00sorry leesa - i think you meant parrhesia?that's k...sorry leesa - i think you meant parrhesia?<BR/><BR/>that's kind of what i like best about grant - sort of a laid back, kiss my ass, this is the real me attitude.<BR/><BR/>of course, it may explain being single.<BR/><BR/>i'm not convinced being uptight has anything to do with sueing everyone - i think that may just be a poor legal system. or your president being used as a role model.paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00877492628206201961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510429.post-1145040507234733642006-04-14T14:48:00.000-04:002006-04-14T14:48:00.000-04:00I wholeheartedly agree with you on this one.
