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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
