On this, I agree.

You and Ballsey however will be first to condemn the First Lady for battling obesity and other efforts to force needed change.
:suspicious:

So who shall decide what needs to be changed and by what type of force? :?

C'mon brother, you know the First Lady always champions a certain cause. In the 80s it was drugs, in the 2000s it's education and Snickers bars.

There is nothing wrong with championing a cause, but when you use the police powers of government to force feed new USDA regulations into schools in a one size fits all manner, you have stepped way across the line. :nod:

Conkzaggeration.

Don't need police powers, Brawndo. Set health and fitness goals for each state and reward healthy states with funds. That's one way. How bout mandating public schools to put a higher priority on P.E. How bout taxing Doritos, Coca Cola and Iphones to help fund these initiatives. We did it to the tobacco industry and it worked.

You're a typical lazy conk. Must be black or white for you all the time, anything gray is too much work for you.

That would require the use of grey matter. Donks prefer regulations, put into force by elected officials, and written down in black and white letters...easier to control things with rules rather than using common sense.
These signatures have a 500 character limit?

Negro,
Never said there was a free market and your "point" is ridiculous. You reached badly.
Your Conk buddies are simply fucking people as they have since the Founding. Case in point, I'm reading a book about the Rev War a few weeks ago and was surprised to find out that merchants (Conks) refused to sell supplies to Washington's troops and, instead, sold to the British because their currency was better. Team spirit, Conks!

Strange parallel you're trying to draw there. :?
If you want to put it that way, the "Conks" were the ones who were actually fighting the war. Given the historical tendency for "Donks" to love big government and centralized power, it's only natural for them to be big supporters of the crown...you know King "Obama" over Parliament "Congress".

Another swing and a miss, Cappy. You're gonna have to pull out your pictures, bolt fonts, and super huge type to get your way out of this one. :coffee:

Oh great. So now we have to pay for everyone's "potential" of getting sick or hurt instead of paying for when only a few people actually do get sick or hurt. That should be much cheaper. Good idea.
