one day people will be judged not for what they do, think or believe but on how much CO2 they exhale. fyi for the heavier folks.

If all the questions in philosophy were suddenly answered, nothing would be gained.

No better state to start excusing wanton obesity than Alabama.

Besides statistics, I hated philosophy in college. Both classes sucked!

I’m picturing the students in this class trying to squeeze into those little desk-chair things.

“ Philosophy of Oppression”
Secular philosophy can’t even show that oppression is a bad thing.

Check out the Alabama Honeybees. This is epidemic. It is terrible that rather than promote an effort at being healthy, we are expected to normalize and even celebrate morbid obesity. You rarely saw a huge person 60 years ago. Curly Howard was considered fat. So was Jackie Gleason, to the point of nearly constant fat jokes. Compare images of them then to people now. They weren’t all that fat. FWIW, cut the carbs and sugar and much of that goes away.

Hey now... I love the Honeybees! Those ladies can move and are great performers! At least they are very active and doing something productive!

Yes, we are not all toothless hicks that marry our cousins. Please don’t ever move to my wonderful state.

Yes, even here in the most conservative state in this Republic, we have Marxist loons teaching in UA. No different that 99.9% of the U’s in this country. Wish it were different, but it ain’t. I went to Jacksonville St. U. here in Bama back in the day and even way, way back in the 1970s there were liberals teaching at Jax State.
