what came first, the energy or the food?

i wanna be a jockey yeah yeah i wanna be a jockey! (look like tony from 7 up)

fuck that shit I don't want my nuts ridin on no horse

(look like tony from 7 up)

who dat, tony was a tiger not a big red dot

no i'm pretty sure that the obesity epidemic has to do with kids eating unhealthy foods and they don't do as much physical activity, you would have to be retarded to think that it's because parents give them treats for things like shots and injuries that only occasionally happen

you are dumb

talking about what causes obesity, his whole speil was aimed at hyperactive children bouncing off the walls. children playing and running and jumping and SCREAMING burns up an awful lot of energy

A few of you seem to have a real hard time 'getting' me, or more accurately, my posts. The whole post/spiel was not aimed at childhood obesity. The topic was how certain training modalities can apply to/effect children. I don't think my posts should have to include an index so that everyone can keep up, especially considering that I usually make an effort to break things down to the most parochial level I can stand anyway. It seems that some of you try to interpret what I say in a certain way, if only for the purpose of having an angle in on something you can attempt to refute, even if the meaning that you take aim at is different from the intended/expressed one.

If speaking my mind and sharing my experiences makes me something of a lightning rod for a couple of you, I'm perfectly fine with that.

Before my back got screwed up, I used to do a fair bit of riding. I wasn't spectacular or anything, but I was stubborn and could think pretty fast, so I got roped into doing some breaking (basically a rodeo with no prize at the end except a horse that behaves well, or at least better than it did beforehand). Riding does take some getting used to; I remember doing the stereotypical "walk like a guy from an old western" thing after the first couple of times. I bought a better saddle though, and things improved greatly. I never even attempted English riding, because, with the whole posting thing, it seemed like they had gone out of their way to make riding even more uncomfortable (though, to be fair, jockeys tend to do more of a bouncing half-stand than actual posting).

dude nobody here is poking at you because your saying things, they're poking at you because of the way you say them

for instance

I grabbed onto the thing to hold him steady, or so I thought). It took the neighbor and I together to get him herded back where he belonged.

I think you might be a gay

Case in point. "Thing" referred back to halter, but you seem to have taken it in another direction to support your own argument, heh.

Your post did remind me of something funny I saw tonight though. I stopped at a gas station on my way to band practice to pick up a couple of drinks and had to wait in line behind three guys who were probably the gayest looking people I've ever seen. One of them was even wearing a purse. It was just so blatant that once they left, the checkout girl actually had to stop for a moment and shake her head. When she was ringing me out she said to me "Did you see that?"

"People wonder why there is an obesity epidemic, just think about this"

sorry it's so hard to keep up with your advanced writing style that apparently ignores argument structure. the first half of your post was about childhood obesity, your 'spiel' was an example of operant conditioned aimed at kids bouncing off the walls.

Get your stories straight. One person has accused me of writing "term paper posts" in the past, and now another seems put off that I didn't take the time to normally formalize everything. I figured that when I broke rhythm and started up again with "one of my favorite examples of (something that didn't include childhood or obesity in the title)" that it wouldn't be hard to follow. I guess I could have called it a post after the first part and then double posted to add the rest in.

I didn't say that it was wrong to feel weird about the video, I just offered up a quick re-frame. The rest of the post's content was made up of stuff that came to mind as I typed that first paragraph, after all the name of the game is What's on your mind? not For argument's sake... although that isn't a half bad idea, really.

ya write a lot of bollocks

not that 'we' need a straight story but the accusations are generally that you sound like a pretentious prick using term paper language, not that your posts are structured like a term paper, but this doesn't even matter.

People wonder why there is an obesity epidemic, just think about this: What happens when a kid hurts themselves? A lot of the times, you see the parent tend to them, and maybe give them some sort of candy or treat. "Oh, you were a brave boy for that shot" (the child is sniffling and chewing his bottom lip to keep from crying) ", here, have a lolly pop!"

After enough of this, the child makes the association that "when I'm hurt, candy makes it better." Boom - three hundred pounds of joy before age twelve.

Feeding is natural "comforter," which is why it can be used to increase a subject's tolerance to given stimuli. You can use it to help kids get over things like fear of spiders, certain noises, clowns, etc. The thing to remember though is that at a certain point, you must reduce the reward phase. There is a point of diminishing returns, where reward becomes bribery (which I re-learned the hard way, and had to correct for, early on in training my Akita).

this is all contained, this is clearly about childhood obesity.


People wonder, but I know. What do I know? The source of childhood obesity is parents using food to reward children. Children then associate food with a good feeling, and inevitably overeat to achieve this good feeling.

A good example of curbing childrens misbehaviour (bouncing off walls) without using food is blah blah blah blah blah.


your entire post was dumb and you're a lightning rod because you presented it as if you had just given fire to man. children don't need to be conditioned to find food rewarding and comforting, there's biological systems that take care of that to make sure we eat. further, giving children food when they're in pain is more likely to pair the sweets with pain, but this is unlikely due to the rarity of the stimulus and the nonspecificity of the reward ('treat'), so the first half of your post doesn't account for childhood obesity very well at all, we're still left wondering prometheus.

then you went on to explain how you could curb that horrible thing children do (playing) without using food, when inactivity is a much more likely cause of childhood obesity.

You're just slanting now.

By the way, if you're going to dub me a Titan, you can at least capitalize the name. =) The symbolism is nice though, with the Titans representing the older Gods who were eventually overthrown by the young upstarts.

That reminds me of a song I haven't heard in a while.

Basically we all think you're a prick with too big of an ego whose arguments don't make much sense.

edit: and do not misread that, nothing you say goes over anyone's head here, you just have BAD arguments

Blahblah blah debate about nothing
