Shit like this makes my blood boil – BMI accuracy

Having been overweight for sometime, then managing to loose 80kgs, seeing this crap in the media really makes me angry http://www.stuff.co.nz/opinion/2662605/BMI-a-bit-thin-on-credibility

Pretty much what it sums up to is ‘all you fatties arnt actually fat its just the BMI measurement to blame’ .  I hate to break it to you, but the BMI is actually fairly accurate for anyone whos not an uber athlete! And just because somebody is super fit, doesnt mean they dont also carry fat!

Media like this just allows people who are ovweight to justify being so and/or staying so and continue to kid themselves into thinking that everything is fine and dandy, and honestly its really not their fault they are fat!

I’ve heard all the excuses, in fact i reckon i invented a good portion of them! My point being that media or blogs saying that BMI is completely wrong based on something silly like that,  is incredibly irrisponsible (and retarded )

Anyway, rant over, thanks for getting this far!

Burger Fuel Spam

Just got an email from Burger Fuel …. Its kinda funny/witty and yet still so sad ..

Dear person who didn’t click delete,

We know you knew the minute you gave us your email address, it was only a matter of time before we spammed you? But, since you’ve made it this far, why not give us a chance to give you free stuff and make it up to you? Think of us as the girl in music video who just wants to love you if you give her a chance or the best “guy friend” in the movie that you were always meant to be with.

We usually send these emails to our VIBs (Very Important Burger connoisseurs) who get stuff that no one else does, so think of this as a sneak preview of what our beautiful relationship could be like. There’s usually no Taylor Swift references in our VIB emails, but the girls in the Marketing department won’t stop talking about it so we had to put it in, so I apologise for that.

We don’t want to be those annoying guys that send you endless amounts of crap that you never bother reading, so if you’re not interested in giving us a chance, then just click unsubscribe (at the top) from the mailing list (we won’t be offended). If you’re keen to stay, then just relax and enjoy the bribe.

My thoughts and opinions on NZ Censorship

Before i rant here, this is my personal thoughts on censorship. Perhaps im an idealist, but im sick to death of criminals getting away with shit.

To me, censorship means we filter out child porn, and other illegal garbage that no decent person would ever want to watch. It’s my belief that the IT industry in NZ is too small for them to get away with massive blanket filtering like china. New Zealand is too small, and the govt will bow to any major pressure by its users because we do tend to band together.
This is clearly demonstrated with Section 92a being stopped in its tracks.

However, the current censorship plans which has everyone up in arms, only stops paedophiles getting their perverted kicks out of naked children. It has nothing to do with anyones humans rights at this stage. Would it not be a better idea to sit back and see how it goes before getting up in arms and starting protests right away?

The world has become to PC for me now, where paedophiles can get away with it because somebody is too worried about their personal human rights. Does anyone think about the rights of those being violated? then having their photo posted on forums for other disgusting humans ?

Rather than just voting our the Censorship, perhaps try offering a better solution? Im not totally adverse to castrating those found guilty of these sick crimes.
