I sleep very little and like to eat.

Population is going to become a larger and larger issue in the future. More and more people are being born and those people are only going to make more babies. One of the problems is what I like to call “The Reverse Darwin Effect.” This effect is what results from more advanced medicine. As out knowledge of human ailments becomes more and more advanced we can save more and more people from death. It is truly amazing.
Unfortunately, many people who are “saved” have problems that doctors really shouldn’t have anything to do with, or medication. The largest of these is Obesity. People who become grossly obese have become eligible for medical treatment. Medicine and all of its branches, I think, should be reserved for ailments that people have no control of. A broken arm, a viral disease, sickle cell, cancer and AIDS are all eligible in my view. Having a habit of eating too much McDonald’s is not. Drug abusers don’t get medical treatment, they go to rehab. Obese people get diet pills and diets. Many of them are so far addicted to high cholesterol foods they don’t even want to do healthy diets and don’t participate. The Atkins Diet is one but it can be effective if applied properly, but who’s supervising?
Some people go so far as to have surgery done to solve their psychological habits. Liposuction is one. Having all your fat sucked out doesn’t improve your health, it lessens your fat. Another much more dangerous and problematic surgery is to have your stomach stapled. In this process ones stomach is literally stapled to itself to decrease its size and therefore storage capacity. The problem with this is the huge loss of absorption area. All that space that used to break down food is no longer available. People who have this surgery done can only eat certain foods and can have very adverse reactions if they eat the wrong ones. But once again it is not a real fix. Even though one is strictly prohibited from many unhealthy foods, people have still been able to find all the high calorie good tasting food and gain back all their pounds. Now they are over weight and have a minute stomach, awesome.
By allowing these people to persist in eating so unhealthily we are doing them a grave disservice. If they can not muster the self control to stop themselves from eating a Big Mac, is it really moral to pamper them by supplying surgery that doesn’t actually work to fix them? It is persisting the week link, the “Reverse Darwin Effect” the week are no longer subjected to the elements, people can go from place to place in cars and elevators (or on those ridiculous little scooters i see people riding in). They don’t have to try, all the answers are given to them, its a business. But by supply such simple answers it destroys any control of population. In the wild “natural” state we humans lived in for so many years all these unhealthy people would die. Stopping those week genes from being continued in the world. Only the strong survived, those that were adapted to the climate. There is no climate anymore. Cold no longer exists with central heating, heat no longer exists with air conditioning; people can live any where.
What happens to all of these “naturally” unfit people, who don’t live up to the ape man standards, if there is a terrible world wide disaster. If there is some kind of disaster that destroys civilization and we have to live off of the carcases of endangered species, will we still feel the urge to help those who do not help themselves? A pandemic is the most eminent of world wide disasters. If the avian flu really blows up, who will be the first to die from it?
The only way to stop obesity is to fight it from its roots. One’s eating. If you eat unhealthy food you get fat. If you don’t exercise you get a little chub but it isn’t that bad. If you mix the two, you have a problem. Get on a good diet and exercise, don’t ask for some kind of miracle cure its in humane.
I have been thinking about this for quite some time. After many of my friends diagnosed me with homosexuality, I have come to the conclusion that if everyone was just a little bit more gay the world would work a lot smoother. First off if guys were a little more gay I think that it would greatly increase the lucrativeness of our society and create a lot more balance in the world. If guys were just slightly more gay they would have a lot less hygiene problems, like smelling like ass all day. Who cares about how someone smells? If you’ve ever been sitting next to a guy who smells like he’s been swimming in his own sweat for hours on end, and then he starts hitting on your friend who’s sitting on the other side of you, you’d probably realize what a terrible condition poor hygiene is. Not only is it unhealthy but it is also very unattractive. If every guy at your school started smelling good, or even like nothing at all, I’m sure that you and I would like to hang out with them a lot more frequently than we would now. Disease is also a concern but I doubt that much would change just from a few baths/showers.
As well as creating a more sociable aura I think that a little bit more of fashion sense could help. I know that fashionableness doesn’t come naturally, but it is not hard to obtain. Just imagine for a moment what a nice environment that school or work would be like, if every man in the building was wearing something nice that looked nice on him. It’s not that hard. The one thing that I see that bothers me is guys that don’t even try to wear something that fits. I think the main reason that no guy tries to look nice is because it would tarnish his masculineness. “I can’t wear that, it makes me look gay.” Who cares. I wore a pink sweater that was almost skin tight and really short dress shorts one day, and at least three girls told me that i looked hot, not even mockingly. I had no fear of being called gay by someone because I know that there is nothing wrong with it. If people weren’t afraid of hurting their image I think that they would get a lot more action.
Diversity would be improved. Most of the gay people I know are easy going and don’t give a crap what anyone else does. How awesome would it be if every one was hella lax instead of lame and on your ass about stuff all the time. Every one would feel a lot less threatened by each other because instead of thinking ” She/he’s moving in on my action, She/he’s so much hotter than me” you’d just think “damn, what a hottie. I sure hope I get to be friends with that fine ass” And you wouldn’t end up being all protective and lame.
It would also partially solve the problem of the greatly increasing population. If every one was more gay they would feel much less obliged to bang their partner as much. Though the want for children would be just as great. There would be more control for those who have unwanted/unplaned/unexpected children.
In short, I am very radical and want wide spread great change in order for my strange plans to work.
I was wandering around Barnes and Nobles this morning by myself, in the sexuality section. I started flipping through this book and i saw that one in three men cheat on his partner and only one in four women do. It is interesting to me that men and women act so much differently than each other. Allegedly men, when they are working on something, use a lot of their brain to do one thing, but women use smaller parts but multitask. Weird. Is there some kind of primeval reason for this difference in the way that our minds work.
Another interesting fact that i have recently found out is that testosterone is what makes people horny. So a very easily aroused girl, in fact, just has a lot of testosterone. It makes sense in a strange way. Both mails and females have testosterone and estrogen, but what does estrogen do for males? Make them gossip?
Men lose their virginity at a younger age than females do. Is it because they reach the stage in their development where they want to become sexually active but don’t have the maturity and intelligence to keep themselves out of trouble, or is it because men get around to a lot of women (very unlikely, i think). It is mostly likely caused by mens single mindedness about sex. If you are always thinking about it and then an opportunity arises to shag what are you going to do? Make waist of all those hours alone? But what if you hardly ever think about it, then when someone proposes a toast, or such, to you you will be surprised and probably veto the idea.
Men and women will never understand each other, but if either of them ever figures out the other first i think would be women figuring out men, they read Cosmo (They know everything).
