What is your concept of warfighting? Throw your bullets at the bad guys? Harsh language? (Probably not...) Speaking to the enemy in a firm voice?
You're the most sensitive Ranger I've ever heard of.
BTW, I never claimed to be a Ranger.

The fact is that the study isn't "so narrowly crafted". What WAS "so narrowly crafted" was the thread title, the OP and the source cited in the OP.
As I posted earlier:It's important to remember that nearly half of straight women are obese, too, and that the study is also figuring out why straight men are more often overweight than gay men:

It sticks out like a sore thumb to me, that it is the gay man who wants to be attractive to other men who stays in shape. Straight women, who also have to appeal to men aren't as afflicted with obesity. Seems as if the real factor here is the superficiality of men, gay or straight, who make judgements on attractiveness on body shape and fitness.
Those who rely on attracting women, obviously less superficial, gay women and straight men don't have to worry about being fat.
Motivational factors explain much that never is revealed in clinical studies.

In order to reduce the deficit? Of course. Don't be silly. I think there should be steps taken to reduce spending on the major entitlement programmes. But I don't think the necessary political courage is available among the current U.S. leadership.
At this juncture, political courage may be equal to political suicide, because so few people are willing to forgo whatever the benefit they get from government. Citizens have been pandered to by politicians for so long, they have come to expect and rely on it.

If the object were to study obesity, why would the study be so narrowly crafted. Are there similar studies necessary for gay men, hetero men? On and on we go.
There doesn't seem to be any reason to believe that you don't remain just as clueless and are therefore unfit to ascertain the possible benefits of the study.

Originally posted by ThinkOfOneIt could well be, as this thread is just a lark to me. I responded to the thread title not the link posted. Do you disagree with my observations on men's seeming superficiality compared to women's.

Stuff like this is why people don't want to raise taxes. Why give more money to people who waste it?
