They can increase a chance to become unhealthy, but it doesn’t make you automatically unhealthy as idiots tried to claim.

Even if an individual person is healthy under these circumstances, it’s still an unhealthy lifestyle and idolizing such a person also promotes this lifestyle, which will lead to other people becoming unhealthy due to the statistically proven correlation of this lifestyle and various diseases.

What exactly is “unhealthy lifestyle”? For an unfavourable variation/specimen it can simply be being born and living. As I said, statistics is completely useless here.

I think that statistics are useful here. Statistics are useful in telling the likelihood that a smoker may get lung cancer, so why not in this case?

On the other hand, a strong specimen can withstand extreme environmental conditions without any long-term damage. As I said, statistics is completely useless here.

A lifestyle that has a high correlation to a disease in otherwise healthy individuals. For example smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, shooting heroin, being anorexic, being morbidly obese.
If you tell people it’s ok to smoke since you know that one guy who lived 100 years while being a heavy smoker, people following that advice will statistically more often die of lung cancer than people who don’t smoke.

That’s like if I said people in the UK should pronounce “garage” like the civilized people do in the states. It’s a bunch of pretentious shite.

It doesn’t work that way. When savages take a civilised language and use it improperly, you cannot blame the civilised language users for that.

I’d take savagery any day if imperialscum is a representation of civilization.

I never disputed that something may be unhealthy lifestyle for some or even majority of specimen. I merely disputed that you cannot claim something is universally unhealthy lifestyle.

What was that about being civilized?

Being fat is never healthy.

You can’t compare Ric Olie and ImperialScum!

And fine! Have fun defending your empire against the filthy Millennial incursion with Hansig or something.

Linking only feeds his masturbation.

It’s handy when he makes the posts in the thread itself. Don’t even need to link it.
