My version? There’s a massive difference between exercise in America vs Africa/Middle East. I don’t think there’s an LA Fitness every 20 miles in Africa. The majority of Americans work out at a designated gym (I understand there are other ways, but I’m trying to focus on the most popular venue).

How are they not allowed to see if it’s something they like? If you mean by not having access to “normal exercise equipment”, as not being allowed then I would agree. I agree that it’s not promoted in the culture, but it’s not like they shun you from the community for exercising (my wife’s mother is Muslim and…

It is completely a personal choice. The majority of young Muslims I know don’t wear a hijab or burka, and many other their parents are the same. They aren’t shunned by their community. Sure, there’s the few older strict parents who talk shit behind their backs or see them as “bad children”, but it’s not like they…

I believe the “running is for idiots” part was to provoke all runners to the defensive.

I find it ironic that we live in a society that looks down upon a religion for wanting their women to cover themselves (pure personal choice within the religion), while we promote sex within every aspect of our daily lives. Is this not in someway oppressive and misogynistic?

I’m sure seeing half naked women walk into Club Aqua downtown equally freaks out them. Cultural perspective can be an amazing thing.

Let’s not take an obviously “meant to provoke” comment to serious.

Although I agree it’s a pretty ridiculous statement, you really don’t understand how strict Muslim’s view wearing the clothes required to exercise. Nevertheless, I would say all religions make statements I would find ridiculous (with Christianity being near the top —- I grew up a Catholic and am no longer)

As a white male who lived in Minneapolis for nearly a decade and now currently married to an first generation American with Ethopian parents, it’s amazing how the younger generation of Ethopian women (and men) have evolved in terms of culture and religion. From my experience, when it comes to the parents who moved…

Heterosexual answer: No

I always love a solid subjective rule. So as long as you lose in somewhat believable fashion, you’re okay? Gotcha

Always some “I don’t do your job, but I know how you could do it better” person in the crowd making sure they police the site they themselves make the choice of reading.

If you perceive yourself to be healthy and not overweight, then I feel your entire rant against the articles (medical) definition is irrelevant.

Although FSU has recently had it’s share of trouble, the re-investigation of Winston and the alleged raped didn’t conclude anything different that the original investigation (although late and poorly organized) done by the Tally PD.

Essentially, anyone who is in anyway acquainted with Kane would not be a source “without potential bias” (and the same would be said for anyone who was acquainted with the alleged victim). I don’t see how his relationship or the fact that he’s a cop is in anyway relevant to whether or not this young lady was raped.…

And we all thought Lebron had no regard for human life ......

Except for the fact that selling your house (owning a house doesn’t immediately classify you as “rich”) is nearly impossible if you have flocks of birds flying, shitting, and disturbing your property. Just because something may not be illegal, doesn’t mean this family has to purposely (after repeated requests to lower…

I’m in no way trying to blame the victims, but ladies PLEASE report these disgusting acts immediately after they occur. I understand the fear of negative impact for your career, but you’re worthy of much more respect than most men show to women in sports professions. We cannot let disgusting men (or women) continue to…
