The proposal has been tabled. Maybe inevitable, but when? And who will qualify? Those are two reasons to wait to enroll.

I can think of a lot of countries worse than Israel, but you probably think PRK, China, Russia, and Iran are great.

Again, I think people need to exercise more and eat better foods. I just don't want the government involved that is a lot of conflicting info (and misinformation) about which diet is healthy and which isn't. Even the experts do not agree. We have multiple people on here saying diet coke is less healthy that regular coke, but I have seen multiple PhD nutritionists disagree vehemently. I'd like to make these choices myself, and not have the government do it for me. Remember the food pyramid?

Now please post studies regarding ethnic groups in the US. (Not UK)

Wrong country though. THat would be somewhat important.

Wait... is that the UK?

So says red herring.

I'm not downloading anything you post. Please screenshot.

It isn't basic logic. It has major flaws at every turn. These states do not vote 100% conservative. You are making a tremendous amount of assumptions, and I am not even referencing your "class-ist" assumption that private schools have healthier meals. (It was less healthy for me, for instance). A lot of assumptions... Have you bothered looking into obesity by ethnic group in the US? Are Irish-Americans more likely to be obese?

Are you saying that there might be people who are not conservative that live in "red states" and maybe they are influencing the obesity numbers of the red states?

People eat terribly and do not exercise. That is bad. Where is your study that says conservatives are more obese than liberals? I must have missed that.

I gained weight working at an elite private school! All you can eat isn't really a good solution for weight loss!

Actually, I may have been wrong, though I heard it from a reputable source. However the UK is on the rise.

I believe the UK may have surpassed the US...

Then find a different, more accurate metric.

Delicious local foods! But also, once you are using BMI to determine obesity, we have a real problem...

I know Minnow refers to himself as "Uncle Pat," but them calling him Uncle Minnow would be amazing.

There is no accepted conclusive scientific evidence to back this claim.

Pretty sure Oklahoma State wore tights on at least one occasion during the Smith era. There is a school in my area that wore them (tradition) up until a couple years ago. A D3 All-American I coached wore them because he didn't like how dry his skin got during the winter. (This may have actually been illegal because he was technically wearing a different uniform than the rest of the team)

Don't let Mineo see that you wrote that! Someone on the facebook forum said he's sick of all the Bassett stories and Mineo said he was banning him and the other 180 people who liked the comment. He then said he was only kidding about the other 180, but ws definitely banning the thread starter.

But he saw some really cool movies about operators... Honestly, at the time I wasn't sure it was a very well-thought out decision and I feel even more strongly about it now.

It is a service academy admissions policy, I would imagine. They can still take a "gap year," but this would be different.

I listened to a podcast the other week, and I don't think anyone is unprepared these days. Guy was a career SEAL and said he wouldn't have been accepted into BUD/S these days because all of the new candidates are blowing away the requirements relative to when he went through selection 30 years ago. Also, a kid I coached was a successful Naval Academy wrestler and a SEAL. He did not know that he was going to BUD/S until November-ish of his senior year. He was hopeful, but didn't know for sure. I wouldn't say he had years of preparing. Also a top 1% physical specimen.

Due process for the Louisiana Dad and neighbor!!!!
