An unhealthy and uneducated population is one that is easy to control and manipulate.

On the people watching front, I keep my eyes to the ground and avoid eye contact. Too many crazies out there.


Two very bizarre posts.

Guess we are on a forum for motor oil, though...


Its a fact! Did you get triggered???

Oh I don’t need a graph to convince me of the obesity problem we’ve got. I live in Tennessee, and, according to a little research, 68% of adults here are overweight, and we’re in the top-10 for obesity with over 30% of adults falling into that category. It makes me sick.

I just didn’t much care for the tone of your post. Makes it sound like you think pretty highly of yourself and that you sorta have your nose in the air.

And the other guy talking about not wanting to make eye contact - paranoid much?

Where else can you get such an interesting mix?

Do you enjoy people watching too?


Yeah you do find a very diverse group of people to watch in any airport and in one you have a decent layover in you also usually find decent sit-down food and drink to enjoy while watching them.
Not a whole lot more to so while awaiting a flight.
You can converse with your wife and you can play online of course.
WRT the abundance of fat people, a lot of those proclaiming this should have a look in the mirror.

I know this off topic, but the latest trend I'm seeing with tailgaters is Q-Tip heads with a handicap placard hanging from their rear view mirror...Granny Gumption's in a hurry to get her Geritol!
