Yes we have “obese poor”, think about it!
Throughout history until now a logical impossibility.
Historically thin meant unfed ergo poor, fat meant well fed ergo rich. In some sense our civilization should be congratulated we have solved the problem of the “poor”, but there has been a cultural cost as well as economic one.

In your sick, angry mind, so you feel an actual need to rebuke people for not procreating?

But what is the advantage to working your life away to pay for a house full of luxuries for a woman and children?

You already posted that. I agree with you, but I also recognize that God killed 5 of my children for some purpose. This must be it.

Just a reminder of who are friends and enemies are. Here’s an example - Which Liberal Obama-kiss-ass wrote this delusional sentence?:

"After 88 consecutive months of the economic expansion that began in June 2009…"

Answer: Never-Trump PUSSY George Will. Just remember that when he tries to tell you he is a conservative, or a Republican, or anything except what he is – an inside-the-beltway elitist twerp who has never done a day’s work in his entire 90lb weakling life.

Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

They apparently had AIDS back then too.

Or at least due penalties like Gonorrhea, Syphilis...

Causes

Epididymitis is most common in young men ages 19 to 35. It is most often caused by the spread of a bacterial infection. Infection often begins in the urethra, the prostate, or the bladder. Gonorrhea andchlamydia infections are most often the cause the problem in young heterosexual men. In children and older men, it is more commonly caused by E. coli and similar bacteria. This is also true in homosexual men.

E. coli... where does that live?

"Intestinal bacteria, such as E. coli, most often cause epididymitis."

It's reasonable to expect the effects of those and other STDs were just as unpleasant back then... before today's "medications" existed to become resistant of.


Sexual attitudes, preferences and infections in Ancient Egypt.

I am a staff nurse at a busy acute care hospital....I and all of my coworkers, mostly women, could run circles around the likes of you...

I've wrote this before but in our ICU ONE nurse was responsible for the total care of a huge obese man...moving him, feeding him, medicating him, changing him, etc....

the day came when he was going to be discharged to an acute care rehab facility....

they sent 5 burly firemen to more him....it took 5 of them what it took one nurse to do...

If you want to motivate man, get him married at 18 and he’ll work himself silly for his family.

You and probably every woman in the world can probably run circles around me today, because I “work like a girl” now. Not so many years ago you couldn’t touch me - and I have the pay and promotions to prove it. Since then my work went from a mission that consumed my every waking moment to practically a hobby, and I get to play a very active role in raising my children.
