Probably true for Summo wrestlers as well, but I don't know that for sure.

Through most of human history, being plump was considered attractive. Food was hard enough to come by that most people were thin. Being fat meant you were well fed, and thus affluent. So people considered obesity to be attractive, thinness to be unattractive. The reversal came about only when average productivity increased to where nearly everyone could afford all they wanted to eat, and affluence was exhibited via other ways - like luxury cars, designer suits/dresses, rolex watches, Apple products, and current-gen 3D video cards. Well ok, maybe not the last one quite yet.
This is still true among North Koreans. Being told you have lost weight is considered an insult - that you're poor.
Is it unreasonable to do an honest analysis of the real risks of terrorism against the security measures that our government is putting in place?
No, it's damned reasonable. So reasonable the president himself was saying we need an evaluation of what's happening.
He, however, was unwilling to provide any detail, leaving that sort of discussion relegated to the paranoid, and the people probably selling, buying or using this info-arsenal (think that's as good of term as any).
Snowden helped out there, and overall I think his revelations helped America more than they harmed.
Obama had no clue how open of a discussion would be going on.
Bad people have cells.
I thought all people have cells? Some even have brain cells!
I'm guessing every other military in the world is also interested in a defence against drones.
Every other military in the world does not consist of lightly armed tribal peoples, and therefore can easily detect and defend from what constitutes a threat in rural Yemen/Pakistan.
Are you suggesting that the fossil fuel companies are headed by aliens? That would explain an awful lot . .
That's silly, they're headed by human looking reptilians.
That's just a bit less than the U.S. uses to bribe countries.
Or increasing the numbers of nodes in the country the Nsa cannot tap.
More research is needed for this horrible disease.
It is progressive with symptoms of irritability as well as illusions of grandeur.
Unfortunately (or luckily for the pre-onset non-symptomatic) it has a 100% mortality rate.
We thought this Methuselah guy almost had it beat, but no such luck.
I think money would be better spent searching for this fountain of youth, why stop aging when you can reset your age and then re-age over again in perpetuity?
Yeah.
Well that seems to be because Obama keeps arguing crazy shit:

It's these social wedge issues they use to rile their base "I don't care if rich people pay less taxes as long as you stop the gays from corrupting Christianity!"
The Republicans want rich people to keep more money under the guise of helping small businesses/job creators. They want to offset it by spending less (you know except on the things they want).
Democrats want the rich to pay more, and for that money to be used to solidify education and infrastructure.
The infrastructure boom during and after WW2 made America what it is. If it is not improved and at the very least brought up to and maintained at modern standards, bad things will start to happen.
Many Republicans don't understand without our infrastructure their companies would be worthless.
Clone Hitler!
Neo-Nazi embryologist found the piece of his skull.
Or
Actual Hitler!
His suicide before the battle of Berlin was a ruse, and VonBraun actually had a pact with aliens (like that Star Trek) which ferried Hitler, Eva and some other Aryan women to make a Nazi Hitler army! The first global television broadcast was Hitler's speech at the Berlin Olympics, maybe they liked what they saw?

For some of those there is a different between prioritizing enforcement.
The other day when I looked at deportation stats, I saw that criminal illegals were being deported in increasing numbers while non-violent/young kids who have lived here their whole lives were being deported less.
Another one with increasing numbers - people who had been deported before.
Now the NRC is obviously flouting the law but they'll be forced to change their ways.
In other things Obama talked about not raiding medicinal cannabis places if they following state law, he then carried out far more raids than Bush ever did.
As far as the coup goes, by not declaring it he has leverage - by using that money to prevent summary executions and extended military rule, as well as forcing them to allow the Muslim Brotherhood to compete in subsequent elections.
Awesome run down. I'd just add the whole war on women thing with many R. candidates. Most of the comments on that subject were offensive to men and women.
I agree with the first sentence as well. I'm 25 and more and more disillusioned with the Democrats, it just comes down to the Republicans being nuts. The only other candidate I liked was Jon Huntsman Jr., far better Mormon canidate then Romney. He spoke about believing in evolution and letting science guide policy, odd for republicans. He also declared a "Dream Theater Day" in Utah.
You will have many recoverable tape errors.
