Poll question: SCENARIO: Mom may become obese. (really about Social Security)
Edited on Tue Jan-25-05 02:20 PM by UdoKier
Sure, she's thin at 45 now, but stats show she has a 50/50 chance of becoming morbidly obese by age 65. So what do you do - have 40 lbs of muscle and vital organs preemptively liposucked out and probably kill her, or leave her alone, in spite of the impending crisis?








Isn't this essentially the argument the Republican scum are using for Social Security piratization?

1. love her and any extra pounds she may develop over the years
and urge that she walk every day--that is the best exercise around.

2. No one can determine
if she will become obese or develop disease because of it.

3. Knowing that you are genetically presisposed to something
can actually help you avoid it, whether it's obesity, cancer, heart disease, alcoholism ... if you know that the genetic predisposition is there you can make adjustments to counter it.

5. Is NOBODY getting the point of this post?

Another meme that makes perfect sense to me, and goes right over everybody else's head...

Or are people just not reading the whole thing?

8. Okay.
I hope everybody else is "getting it".

Either way, this poll is clearly not one of my better ones...
