SS Radio #52: In These Trying Times

[Nockian]

if only a few had the balls to do what you have done. I wish I had a way to protest this tyranny other than writing on forums. Indeed, last week I managed to get myself banned from a forum as a result. I hope all these weak kneed bastards get it good and hard when they realise that things are going to be a lot different when/if our authoritarian gang masters decide we are 'allowed' to recommence our lives. If your gym had opened up in my home town, then I would be there lifting, whatever they threatened me with. Sadly there appears nothing I can do until this blows over. So well done, you have my wholehearted support FWIW.

Nockian beat me.

Sic semper tyrannis Rip.

I hope you don't get thrown in jail. It'd be a sad day in the Republic of Texas, but I do hope to see the video if you do.

If I gradually increase the height from which I conduct my concrete belly flop do I get to call it training?

[Mark Rippetoe]

Depends on the adaptation you want.

[wiigelec]

Trying to get dumber

[Mark Rippetoe]

It should work.

“This is the most fucked up think that is ever happened in the United Stares...”

Hyperbole much ?
Just off top of my head

Treatment of the Indians

Slavery

Civil war - brothers killing brothers

Jim Crow

Internment of Japanese Americans


Sure, this is worse. whatever you say....

It’s designed as an efficient and effective program for those wishing to serve in public office and/or become loyal subjects of the New America...

I have 2 points...

1) I think if a local small business can make it through, I'd be MORE willing to shop/buy from there. But that's just me. I am willing to pay a small premium for the same product at Joe's shop vs Lowes. And I would, right this second join a SS gym if it was in my neighborhood in Tampa.

2) re: folks who tattle. If I am driving down the road in a 45mph zone, and some ahole is doing 95, and I get the plate number and somehow am able to get it to the police which leads to the driver getting a ticket, am I a tattle then? What is the difference in my scenario and the folks who may turn you in? The two sut

(I am not being argumentative at all... Trying to see the difference, that's all). ((I also don't care in my scenario if I am a tattle... I was directly involved in a hit and run, so that's my perspective)
