was just wondering why society frowns upon the devotion of real anorexics, and in saying that I mean the ones with suficcient devotion to starve themselves thin, and yet society proclaims ad good and just the same sort of madness that it takes to be brilliant and churn out straight sevens at university. Was at a graduation ceremony for honours a while ago and the dux of the class had a gpa of 7 which means she didn't get anything but 7's for the whole degree.

In this day and age of obecity I think we should champion Anorexics with the devotion to stick with it, and frown upon the obece that lack the self discipline to get with the program.

thoughts chris.

Who says that the obese are no less driven than an anorexic?

I would assume that the same disorder that requires/allows you to absolutely destroy yourself would be applicable to a morbidly obese person too.

I don't think that your avaerage person is capable of the dedication that it would take to be corpulent to the same reverse degree.

Any excessiveness is frowned upon by society for good reason, whether it is anorexia, obesity, workaholism, greed, etc, etc.

Different sides of the same coin.

This person who had a high GPA across the board, is there any moderation in this persons life or did they devote everything they had to atttaining those marks?

Sure good marks would indicate a successful future, but against what measure? High paying job but no life outside that job (i.e die alone but rich).

Moderation is the key, but it is so easy to lose sight of.

1. The obece are not driven. Often obecity comes out of a sedentary lifestyle and lazyness more than anythine else. Also the undereducated are far more likely to be obece than the well educated and more fortunate. It tends to be a dizease of the lower calsses and the less socioeconomically endowed groups of society but times they are a changing and that no longer rings true.

2. Thus these people are the ones with devotion. We should really take them around to schools as motivational speakers

3. excessiveness in terms of finding a solution to a problem or artwork tends to be champpioned. Many of the great artists and poets of the world were mentally unwell and yet we appreciate their work.

yes granted everything has a price.

I think another point is how society can turn a blind eye to its set of double standards and the question of how our value system became so skewed. Once again we are brought back to the question of intent and the idea of doing all the right things for all the wrong reasons.

don't know if you'll read this but thanks for the effort in your response.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
