The obesity epidemic is something that the United States is all too familiar with. This was, of course, because it had one of the highest obesity rates in the world.
The obese have a lower quality of life, higher medical expenses, and shortened lifespans. It's no wonder that so many are concerned about this problem. However, what can be done to tackle this issue? Until now, no proposed solutions have been effective. Until now.
A large group of people were lined up in the room. They appeared to be wearing clothing designed to accommodate exercise, and the room appeared to be designed for that purpose as well. These people all had their eyes on one person: Their exercise instructor. This instructor's job was, of course, to teach them exercises to help combat their obesity. However, just promoting exercise would not be enough by itself to significantly reduce obesity. The operators of the program understood this, and that was why this routine was far from ordinary. No, it was extraordinary.
95%. If an overweight or obese person went through this program, there was a 95% chance that they would return to a normal, healthy weight range and maintain that weight. The groundbreaking success of this program surprised even those who had researched and developed it; it was to the point where governments and corporations were throwing massive amounts of money at it. The end to the obesity epidemic was finally in sight.
Just then, the instructor finished showing the men the exercises, and then instructed them to choose one and start doing it. After that, each man grabbed some exercise equipment and started doing one of the many different exercise routines that were shown to them. It was brutal.
The children were thrown around like ragdolls as they were violated by the men. Their heads slammed into hard floors and walls as the men pumped into their genitals and anuses. Their bodies were used as punching bags. Their bones cracked and broke. Their muscles stretched and tore. Echoes of children screaming and crying seemed to continue without end.
Yes, this was the true nature of the exercise program. Ordinary exercise would not be effective, since it's tiring and monotonous. However, if you make the exercise routine entertaining and addictive, it makes it easy to follow through. The researchers who developed this astounding program understood this all too well. Thus, the men brutally violated the children in a number of physically-demanding positions, to simultaneously lose weight and to satisfy their unending lust.
The children broke one after another, their screams for mercy completely ignored by the lustful men. No, their screams weren't ignored; in fact, the men reveled in them. Yes, the men reveled in the children's cries and screams, and enjoyed them to the very end. After several hours, the building was silent and no children remained. It was time to leave.
Dozens of sweaty men exited the large building and began traveling home, yawning and stretching as they did so. They were exhausted, but their exhaustion only gave them hope for a future where they could be proud of their bodies.
Hope. It was something that was never granted to the hundreds of children being casually tossed into dumpsters by the building's employees. However, it was never granted to them because they simply never deserved it to begin with.

From what I can gather from posts here and there, he was sexually abused by his father when he was little. He also suffers from autism. Those two things led him to discover the truth of the electric universe and the inherent evil of Violently Imposed Monopolies. He's not quite on board yet with the Exterminate Men Angelic Contract System, but I anticipate he'll one day see the light.

Posting at level 2 lifted up the OP even though it was at -1. Leave your replies at 0 to prevent that. Otherwise you are just part of the problem by feeding the troll.

Just tried upgrading my 6.3 box to 6.4. It seemed to go well until it rebooted and started to load the kernel and then immediately reboots. Not sure what happened but manually copying the new kernel over to /bsd appears to fix it.
