I'm not a bodybuilder but I have broad shoulders, I used to cycle a lot so my calves and thighs are rather bulgy. I never had a six pack or anything but I didn't have any weight issues ( I didn't look like I was over weight, and that's what really counts, not the numbers). While the BMI would make it look like I was over weight the BMI is bull shit. It doesn't account for body type.

I developed type 2 after contracting pancreatitis due to complications associated with surgery to remove gall stones ( actually it was a second surgery to clear remnants of grit from the passage that ends at the bottom of the stomach). At the time I was 22 years old, 90 KG (about 198 pounds) and I am five foot nine. I am overwieght now but that is down to what diabetes has done to my metabolism. People shouldn't make assumptions about someones situation. Just because they are fat doesn't mean that's what cause their type 2 diabetes.

Forgive me for the crudity of my medical terminology, I am not a medical student.

Basic income, everyone gets it, it is not means tested. That is going to offset the income tax somewhat, it will offset it a lot more ( or totally if your income is low enough) for lower income families and a lot less for high wage earners. It's a bit of a logical fallacy to just quote the tax rate and leave it there.

Someone in the UK aught to add that they want religious material blocked as well. After all if you're blocking "offensive" content you better make sure you block everything people find "offensive". You should block all "offensive" content or none of it. I personally find exposing children to religion is harmful, more so than pornography.
