** Broomstick**
Paul McCartney doesn’t agree with you. 
And I’d really like to know what a choad is too.
Paul McCartney don’t agre with me either. (burrrrrp) Better go get some Alka-Seltzer. Dang stringy tough old musicians!
A choad is a crude euphemisim for Penis, mostly, though it has other meanings.
And Broomstick, the line about dung beetle groupies is so perfect, DNA_Man should be forced to use it as his sig line until he gets old and his metabolisim fails, and he starts to get fat and repulse himself.

As long as it’s made clear that it’s an opinion, I don’t have any problem with it. “In my opinion, eating right and fitness should always be a goal.” No problem with that. But “Eating right and fitness should always be a goal” makes my skin crawl.
When talking about people’s choices, the word ALWAYS makes me nervous when stated as fact.
In my mind, it’s no different than me saying, “Women over twenty should always have short hair.”
Although personally I am DISGUSTED by an older woman with hair down to her ass, it’s none of my damn business. It’s not her problem that I have some bizarre hang-up about it. It’s her hair. She can do with it as she likes.
It’s my body. I can do with it as I like.
But again, just my opinion. So no big if we disagree.
We, of course it’s an opinion. No one’s suggesting mandating anything, nor would we. (Well, I know I wouldn’t, and I’m alomost 100% certain that gobear would rather eat glass).
As to the rest, weeeell . . . we already establish universal goals as a society, and punish infractions through the legal system. It’s always a goal to drive safely, for example.
I think it might be argued that a fit populace provides a real, tangible benefit to society that short hair does not. But again, I’m not suggesting anything beyond that.
Well, I’m, not into eating glass, but I also am opposed to mandating anything to anyone.
Now that’s just silly. Why is recommending health and fitness bad? Do you prefer to be weak and ill? Nobody is going to arrest you for failure to show up at the gym; you won’t be shot for eating Doritos, so stop being a victim already.
No, you don’t have to work out and you don’t have to eat right. Exercise is not a panacea. You could take care of yourself all your life and still die from cancer or a heart attack. But here’s an indisputable truth. Ready?
Exercise improves the quality of your life.
If you want to avoid using a walker when you are older, work out.
If you want to walk up stairs without huffing and puffing, work out.
If you want to be able to lift groceries without assistance, work out.
If you want to feel calmer and more in control of your life, work out.
It is absolutely your choice. But if you live a sedentary life, you can count on losing 1/2 a pound of muscle mass a year after 30. You can count on weakness and greater susceptibility to cold and flu. You can count on higher risk of heart attacks and strokes in middle age. And you can definitely count on a increased likelihood of osteoporosis and bone fractures in your old age.
I think those are things that anyone with sense would want to avoid, hence my saying increased fitness should be a goal for everyone.
But if you want to be sick and progressively weaker as you age, go right ahead. It’s a free country,
Sorry, that should read "It is absolutely your choice. But if you live a sedentary life, you can count on losing 1/2 a pound of muscle mass per year after 30
I never really had to deal with the weight issue. I have always been skinny and pretty fit. I have had the opportunity to travel to 3 different countries recently and I saw almost NO overweight people. Made me wonder… until…
About 6 months ago a loved one told me she was struggling with anorexia. She is so beautiful. Seeing her struggle with the guilt and shame of this has helped put things in perspective a little better for me. Why does it matter? We live in a society that wants everyone to be skinny but has enough food to feed the whole world ten times over. This country is built on pleasing self and not helping others. And I’m not talking just about food here. Money, power, that 2nd car…
I’m not going to pretend to know what it’s like to be made fun of for being overweight. But I know the pain of being different. And I am sick and tired of people who only see the outside. You people are truly the gluttons and pigs. No more deep than you are wide.
Actually, in all my years of slang, “choad” is analogous to “taint”, not penis. At least, where I come from, it has always, to my knowledge, been used as such.
I suppose you learn something new every day.
Sam
Whoa. Who the hell said I was the victim? I exercise three to four times a week, eat my daily five fruits and veggies, and have my 48 ounces of water a day. I’m still overweight, but I don’t blame anyone or anything. I love my body. Sure, society portrays the “ideal” woman as a size zero with huge breasts and model facial features, but that’s not my goal, nor does it make me a victim. It only makes me a victim if I let it. I don’t live by those standards, and I don’t idolize them. My problem, as it relates to the OP, is that people assume their hang-ups about fitness should apply to all people. Exercise may improve quality of life, but so does money, and I’m not about to make it my number one priority either. I will die one day whether I exercise or not. Period.
Exercise is good. Blah blah blah. Lots of things are good, but that doesn’t mean EVERYONE should strive for them.
I don’t think we will ever see eye to eye on this one, gobear.
Well, what does that mean? 
Choad is a noun. Taint is a verb. How can choad mean the same as taint?
Taint (from www.merriamwebster.com)
1 : to contaminate morally : CORRUPT <scholarship tainted by envy>
2 : to affect with putrefaction : SPOIL
3 : to touch or affect slightly with something bad <persons tainted with prejudice>
The only way it can be a noun is if you use it to mean “a contaminating influence”.
Does “taint” have some slang meaning with which I am unfamiliar?
A TAINT is the piece of skin between testes and anus…at least that’s my understanding of it.
Sam
Wow. I’ve learned something new today.
Just so you know, that’s what I was told choad meant as well. Of course, it wasn’t called taint when it was explained to me.
Which is why it’s called the “Taint”
b.
BTW, around here, not only is a “choad” a penis, but a specific kind of penis, one which is larger in diameter than it is in length. hence, bigmouths were referred to as “choad smokers”, a term which is meaningless when applied improperly to the “Taint”
But again, slang and jargon mean different things everywhere to everyone. YMMV
b.
Huh. First I’ve heard of that, Bilirubin . . . I haven’t even seen “choadsmoker” used. I’ve just been using it as an all-purpose epithet for years now, without being too concerned about what it actually meant.
Google search both choad and choad smoker.
One hit, here, gives different definitions, down to “vomit” or “Puke”, but the “wider than long” comment is there also. Of course, this link just goes to the raving of a kid who believes that he began the term.
b.
And it’s Billy Rubin, please.
Huh. You and Sofa King, I swear . . .
I’ll chime in and say that a choad is the same thing as a taint. Has been for as long as I’ve ever heard it (10 years, and in different parts of the country.)
Also, while I’m here, I’d just to add that I hate fat people and tell them that at every chance I have.
Wait, no I don’t.
You know what I hate more than gross fat people? Fuckin’ faggots. Man, I tell you, nothing disgusts me more than seeing some fey faggot boy prancing around in public - how unnatural is that? I mean, why don’t they just conform and act straight like eveyone else? No, they have to go out there and, like, exist just like everyone else - it makes me sick. It’s against God’s law, and they should all be put on an island or something somewhere. And don’t try to tell me my opinion is wrong or anything - I’m speaking for the majority of this country, and everyone else is too chickenshit to say it out loud. That doesn’t make me a bad person - I’m just stating my opinion is all. And don’t try to tell me that those fags don’t exist, because I see them all the time, plain as day. I have every right to think they’re sick fucks, and they make me sick just to see them! Sure, maybe we shouldn’t actually say this stuff in public, but man, I’m sick of everyone telling me I’m wrong to feel this way.
:rolleyes:
Thus endeth the lesson.
Esprix
ooooo HA HA HA. LMAO.
Thank you ** Esprix** you’ve made my day.
