Heh - not a powerlifter, I just like lifting heavy pieces of metal.
Even if I was, a 40+ year old with gym work is still no match for a 20
year old farm-hand.

No, as I mentioned before, his family is pretty reasonable. Gonna see
a couple of them on a visit in a few weeks, and I'll bring it up.

As someone else mentioned, I also thought about the "serial killer
getting his start torturing animals". This kid needs help. My son is
helped by getting it off his chest.

I see. You're thinking a pint instead of a mug? 16 oz instead of 12, maybe?


Where'd this booze thing come from? A remnant of the Mary wars? How
odd.

I thought you had actually done a meet or two. I haven't been lurking
around MFW for over a year, so I'm probably confused.

Na, I'm the old fart who hit 40 completely out of shape, and used
resistance training to regain a semblance of health.

Started out 180 lbs @ 24% bodyfat, made it to 200 lbs @ 10% bodyfat. I
wear smaller pants, but couldn't fight my way out of a paper bag,
unless I got the guy on the ground.

Though the thought of getting this little ****er in choke-hold is
really appealing, it wouldn't solve anything.

I agree and I'm not veg. Cultural differences are just that - cultural
differences. It's the treatment of the animals that concerns me more
than anything else. I just wish that they were all humanely raised and
slaughtered. Most aren't.

-L.

That's the main reason I went veggie, cos I'm against the factory
farming side of things, I've seen some really gross outrageous films of
the way animals are treated, with no compassion at all. If an animal
could die of old age I would eat it (I know, I know it would taste
disgusting so I won't). I don't even buy leather anymore, couldn't
justify it as I wasn't eating beef. I'm a hypocrite though, as I
should really be a vegan as I'm told dairy farming is cruel too, and I
can't be 100% sure that my "free range" eggs really are that kind,
sigh, one day I'll do it.

IOW: "I'm a bleeding heart, knee-jerk NUT-CASE"

Awww, have I hit the feeling guilty must attack nerve?
