ParticipantRumor has it that she is still lifting, and that she's up to 227 pounds!!! I'm assuming that's her off season conditioning… Either way. Wow! 😮
227 pounds seem unbelievable, until you actually look at the picture above. Jesus H. Christ!!!

ParticipantI only saw the first video. If that word-twisting, fact-twisting propaganda is where you base your facts on, I won't even bother watching the second one.
Let's all post some Youtube videos and make a big video fest!

ParticipantPublic healthcare works at in all the other countries, why wouldn't they work in the US, who has more money then anyone?
In most countries, if you have money and a private insurance, you can treat yourself into any hospital or doctor you can afford to. But if you don't have money, or are unemployed, you can still get all the medical treatment you need. If you get a head wound, you're going to get a tomography, if you develop cancer, you're going to get chemo or radio treatments and if you get HIV you're going to get all the cocktails you need to treat your disease.
Of course, in some countries this works better then others. And even in the same countries there are major differences in efficiency depending on the region. But still, even the availability of a bad public healthcare, is better then none at all, if you're broke and sick.

ParticipantWow! She's beautiful! Great find!

ParticipantWell alex, you've just alienated a lot of people here, including your near-namesake AlexG.
I do agree, however, on the central points. Maybe a definition of socialist in the sense of a socialist state is what is needed here. I always think of what many trade Unionists tried to make the UK in the 1970s. Strikes were going-on almost continuously, many of them wildcat strikes (i.e. not planned by the hierarchy of the Union but just spontaneous) and often included flying pickets and violence for anyone who crossed the picket line. Ricky Tomlinson (best-known as Jim in The Royle Family was jailed for such offences. Even if Obama gets in (and I don't think he will), he'd have to have almost as much Communist zeal as Stalin to cause such a shift in US thinking, culture and politics. How come no previous Democrat President has already done this?
Well CP, sorry about that. But it really annoys me to no end the level of intolerance that has been imbued into the American people towards anything related to "Social" and "Public" that leads them to automatically associate them with communism, loss of freedom, evil dictatorships, etc…
During the 60's and the 70's, such paranoia had it's reason. It was a different time, and there real pressure for marxism and socialism in all parts of the world, by student bodies and labor parties. But that was almost 40 years ago! The world moved on, and such ideas have died already. And so should this whole paranoia.

ParticipantSome Americans don't seem to have a clue what communism and socialism is. They seem to have an irrational fear of anything being funded or regulated by the government, like the country is going to become a communist dictatorship in a few years if they're not careful. Pffft!
Seriously. Here in Brazil, our current president used to be a bigger communist then any of these so-called radical Americans marxists. Some people were scared shitless of what would happen if he ever got elected president. Some said he would nationalize a whole bunch of companies, that he would alienate the whole international community and would perform ultra-radical social reforms…
Pfft…when he actually got elected, none of those things happened. He actually became one of the best behaved presidents ever.
No president has the power to to change a country like the US into anything close to a social-democracy (like in the most developed countries in the world) let alone into a communist nation. The simple notion that someone is afraid of that is too ridiculous to mention.
I don't know if Obama has socialistic tendencies or not, but I hope he does. America needs to turn away from this pure-capitalism crap. Having the government regulate and finance some parts of education and health, is no different then having it finance and regulate police and the judicial system. It DOES NOT make a country a communist one or even a social-democracy. It just makes it like all the other developed nations on the face of the earth.

ParticipantI saw this some time ago and was very impressed. We are definitely getting there. Give it another 10 years or more, and we'll probably not be able to tell if it's real or not.

ParticipantWow! This last picture was just awesome! Very hot. I loved the effects.

ParticipantLet me get this straight. People who like to watch sports , and enjoy rooting for their country's competitors in various sports activities are…xenophobic nationalists?
And what's this thing about the world cup?
Seriously man! Get a clue! You don't do war because your country lost in the world cup. You don't start hating a nation or it's citizens because your country lost in freaking sports competition. You just get pissed for a day or two, then move on.
Seems to me, some people only focus on the negative side of things.
alex
ParticipantGreat ad! 😀
I wonder though how many people would really prefer her weak and flabby…
