    Again, I don't know. But you have to be a good, strong swimmer, right? You have to be able to hold your breath, and swim while breathing. You have to be strong enough to pull someone out of the water. That's a tall order for someone whose asthma is bad enough to get them out of military service.

    Asthma fucks you up when you swim or play football in all but the very lightest of cases.

    Swimming is generally recommended as excellent exercise for asthmatics. My doctor recommended I take it up when I was a kid.

    Sure is. I was told the same thing. Doesn't mean it doesn't fuck you up.

    Conversely, sitting on the couch doing nothing doesn't generally trigger asthma, but that doesn't make it good for asthmatics to do.

    Please love yourself.

      Please, Ax, tell us more about a medical condition you had to fucking Google because you don't have it!

      Googling, and looking up statistics and cases beyond your own first-hand experience is good because it lets you see beyond a world beyond yourself. Don't approach issues like a self-centered brat who thinks his own experience is all that matters. There is a big world out there with many people with different experiences. You should Google more and make it more of a habit to look up more data, statistics, and case studies when approaching issues that concern more than just you personally.

      Your treatment of your relationships is embarrassing. You don't know how to meet others halfway in their discussions, you aren't curious about anyone you choose to speak with and that makes you a waste of time. It's not your political opinions or the level to which we may agree or disagree on topics. Those are trivial, but your personality is disgusting and there is no instance in which I have felt glad to have been exposed to it.

      I can't block you or else I would have years ago. Do both me and yourself a favor and block me instead. I'd greatly appreciate it.

          Black people can't get sunburned. That sounds pretty racist to me.

                It’s starting.

                https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politics-news/liberal-jews-josh-shapiro-vp-pick-1235967481/

                Among some Jewish American producers, agents and executives there's a sense that — even if the VP pick was the result of electoral calculations — those calculations come with baked-in antisemitic assumptions about the electorate.

                                        Whoops, my bad. He did stand on the tarmac at Bagram.

                                        As part of a Congressional delegation. He conveniently didn't mention that fact in his speech,

                                        He wasn't in the Guard at that time.

                                          89th? Paging 89th....

                                          Just got back from a lake vacation with the family (vacation = just a trip where we relocate the bedtime routine with kids) so I haven't read this thread or most other threads but....

                                          Under Walz it seems we have a surplus (but also higher taxes), great schools, great parks, free school lunches for all kids, and one of the higher ranking states in most categories. So in my direct personal life, aside from the higher income taxes, he's done a great job. In terms of things that don't really impact me but I disagree with... his support for trans and abortion support and other liberal policies is not preferred.
