haha. I think I didnt do 1 page.
I do sometimes wonder if my parents had told me in year seven when I gave up swimming(which i was relatively good at, made state once) that I had to keep doing it whether now I would be thankful. I think its very likely, probably depends on what sacrifices I would be called upon to make for swimming as I got older. Granted you are talking about giving adults choices and probably wouldn't object so much to a parent telling their twelve year old they had to go to squads at least thrice a week. But the obvious answer is no aside from alcohol which they were fairly strict about my parents were very willing to let me make my own decisions most of the time.
I've never been extraordinarily healthy I can't really say but I suspect there is a fair bit of correlation between health and happiness.
I think you misunderstand what liberal is. Liberal is freedom.
Perhaps that's a decision which individuals should make because I am pretty certain that different people have very different opinions regarding what makes them happy...
Quite possibly.
What we have found in recent years particularly in Australia and the United States I'm sure you'll agree that a worrying number of people aren't just having the occasional burgers and fries and projections about Gen Y's health in old age are quite frightening. The concerns generally cited are their eating, sleeping, exercise and drinking habits.
I think at least in Australia we are passed the point of being able to cite education (or lack there of) as the problem. People know what they're doing can lead to x, y and z but for an inexplicable reason they don't do what they know is the right thing. Actually it probably can be explained just not by a simpleton like me.
They grant people short term "hits" of happiness. Like a bottle of V is not a goodnight's sleep this is no substitute for healthy habits. You are painting oogba booga Orwellian 1984 images of a socialist state (nobody said anything about revolution you raised communism yourself) which of course sounds horrible. Nobody ever tries to paint a dystopia like Huxley's BNW, possibly because a moderated, watered down version of such a world is not so horrible a prospect.
Control and freedom are relative terms as indeed is moderate and high. This conclusion really amounts to nothing if a moderate state of health means your projected age is eighty nine, and freedom means you get to keep 30% of your gross income.
No. It's their choice not mine.
How intensely selfish. This scenario involves actively degrading the quality of life of one person (your own grandmother ffs) to increase your own quality of life.
And I would expect no less of you.
Firstly I'd like to think the fact I am related to someone would not be a factor in deciding whether or not I exploited them for my own pleasure. With that being said sparring a person suffering via what could be fairly described as "tough love" is not selfish in the remotest.
Agreed completely.
