I love how I'm the heap of crap vicious piece of shit for calling you horrible.

Myth One: Australia is the Fattest Nation in the World. False. The International Obesity Taskforce ranks Australia as the 44th fattest nation in the world, with 19.3 per cent of men and 22.2 per cent of women classified as obese (BMI over 30). Importantly, obesity in Australia is influenced by socio-economic status. Quite simply, the poorer you are, the more likely you are to be obese.
Myth Two: Being obese will markedly increase your health risks. The relationship between weight status and negative health outcomes has been overstated. The relationship between weight and mortality is fairly low until people reach quite high BMIs. Most epidemiological studies suggest that overweight people do not have shorter lives than people in the healthy weight range and we know that the negative effects of weight on health can be mitigated by physical activity.
Myth Three: Rates of childhood obesity are exploding False. In the historical long run (30 years plus) there have been increases in both adult and childhood obesity in Australia. However, experts now generally agree that the levels of childhood obesity have plateaued in the last decade.
Myth Four: Obesity is caused by a simple equation of eating too much and exercising too little Whilst at the most basic level this is true, weight loss is far more complex than eating less and exercising more. This is because of the complex range of genetic, environmental, socio-cultural and psychological factors that lead people to be obese. Similarly, messages that tell obese people that they simply need to “take personal responsibility” or just make up their mind to lose weight are simplistic in the extreme.
Myth Five: Most of our AFL footballers are ‘obese’ according to BMI Whilst there is no doubt that the BMI is flawed when applied to individuals, the vast majority of our AFL athletes actually fall in the normal and overweight categories according to the BMI. A recent analysis of an AFL club showed that 75 per cent of its players would be classified within the normal weight range for their height, 25 per cent of its players would be classified as overweight and none were obese. Of course when 19th-century Belgian astronomer and mathematician, Adolphe Quetelet invented the body mass index (BMI), he probably didn’t envisage that it would be applied to professional athletes who design their body to be “fit for purpose.”
Inconvenient Truth One: Discrimination on the basis of weight is on the rise According to an extensive study undertaken by the Rudd Center for Food Policy & Obesity at Yale University, discrimination on the basis of weight is the fastest growing form of discrimination in the US in the last 10 years, and is now more prevalent than racial discrimination. Perhaps by focusing on the facts rather than the myths, we might be able to help people manage obesity rather than marginalize them through what is rapidly becoming a propaganda war against obese people.
JAMES F. FIXX DIES JOGGING; AUTHOR ON RUNNING WAS 52
Published: July 22, 1984
James F. Fixx, who spurred the jogging craze with his best-selling books about running and preached the gospel that active people live longer, died of a heart attack Friday while on a solitary jog in Vermont. He was 52 years old.
Myth: If you are overweight or obese, you will eventually develop type 2 diabetes.
Fact: Being overweight is a risk factor for developing this disease, but other risk factors such as family history, ethnicity and age also play a role. Unfortunately, too many people disregard the other risk factors for diabetes and think that weight is the only risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Most overweight people never develop type 2 diabetes, and many people with type 2 diabetes are at a normal weight or only moderately overweight.
Last time I went to the doctor's, I was healthy. I have a little extra padding and I'm not perfect, but I'm not merrily on my way to an early grave.

I've now slept on the idea of them two fine young women having pride in their appearance. Yes, I agree they do. No, I can't see them finding husbands anytime soon, what with the access to all them fine brown young lithe third world ladies out there only a few hours by plane away. That's the problem with the free market for the fine ladies of Australia these days, don't y'all think?
Also, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the topic of my first note in this thread.
Just because you can't see yourself with a larger woman, doesn't mean they won't find partners, there are plenty of hot, young men who would happily be with larger women, usually because they have (generally) much better personalities. The same can be said for all relationships people have. Infinite diversity in infinite combinations.
And yes, I agree, the advent of widespread internet use has allowed people to find information without using the controlled media, this has caused a lot of disconnect from the standard mantra, I'm not sure I would call it a bubble though.

You're starting to sound like an x factor contestant Blondie.
I hope you never have to experience losing any of your children.
Thanks for showing me your true colours.
Newjerk? can you try harder than dig up another person's blog. My first promo was with Billabong and my name in English is modified with a T, am Perth born but also lived in Sydney to make my $$ It's Absolutely Fabulous if it includes brilliant locations, & high calibre tenants..what more does one want? Understand the power of the two "P"" or be financially challenged Even better when there is family who are property mad and one is born in some entitlements.....Understand that beautiful women are the exhibitionists we crave attention, whilst hot blooded men are the voyeurs ... A stunning woman can command and takes pleasure in being noticed. Seems not too many understand what it means to hold and own props and get threatened by those who do. Banks are considered to be law abiding and & rather boring places yeah not true . A bank balance sheet will show capital is dwarfed by their liabilities this means when a portions of loans is falling its problems for the bank.

If you have to travel and the only attractive women you can pick up are from poor countries you must be a pretty poor specimen of the male species.
Definition of a doom and gloomer from 1993 The last camp is made up of the doom-and-gloomers. Their slogan is "it's the end of the world as we know it". Right now they are convinced that debt is the evil responsible for all our economic woes and must be eliminated at all cost. Many doom-and-gloomers believe that unprecedented debt levels mean that we are on the precipice of a worse crisis than the Great Depression. The doom-and-gloomers hang on the latest series of negative economic data.

I dated a couple of larger gals when I was younger, and if there's one thing they were it was FUN. We always laughed a lot, ate a lot, drank a lot, danced a lot, and um.... a lot.
Besides, there's big then there's big.
I, for one, am uninterested in keeping a skinny missus who wants to prance around like a princess.

When did she not?
"ooo la la I got in before the boom and I'm soo goood, tee hee".
"i'm pretty, tee hee"
stinkbug omosessuale Frank Castle is a liar and a criminal. He will often deliberately take people out of context and use straw man arguments. Frank finally and unintentionally gives it up and admits he got where he is, primarily via dumb luck! See here Property will be 50-70% off by 2016.

Since you put it so politely friend, I guess you must be right. I aint allowed to enjoy my status as a white man who can take the iron horse with wings because I have to date from a pool of entitled, balloon-resembling local gals who spent their whole life in the sun and have skin like elephants, instead of dating from a much larger pool of gals 40 years younger than me who are finer than heck.
Thanks for telling me friend. I feel a whole lot better now.
Now let's talk about this bubble business. It seems to be a real concern for a lot of folks out there, especially them ones married to Mrs Entitled.

Moops go away Don't everbother me again..please.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
