Ha, you still have PE.

You don't have gym class?

Lucky

Actually, scratch that, my gym class is awesome, mainly because it's all about playing games (i.e. 30 minutes of actual fitness, and an hour of just playing games).

Gym is one of the 'big 4' that I'm good at in PE - Football, Rugby, Basketball, and Gym.

Huh, what's your definition of gym down there?

In the U.S. (or at least around here), gym is synonymous with P.E.

 

[W|M]

here, it's gymnastics.

 

[Joecoolyo]

Oh, really? That's a totally different thing over here

(well, not totally, but, whatever)

What's wrong about it?

As mentioned before, it's unhealthy, it's dangerous, and it has too many side effects. Eastern medicine is natural, effective, and if you stop the therapy the effects from it last for a long time. If you stop taking pills, the effect from them stop immediately.

Western medicine isn't a set of practices or techniques, it is science, and therefore, it is supported by empirical evidence, a standard to which eastern medicine is not held.

I have a dilemma. I like a guy. But here are the problems:
1. He's almost 60.
2. He's married.
3. Even if he wasn't married, there is a lot of other girls who would want him.
4. He lives in California.
5. I DONT EVEN KNOW HIM.

What are the chances of this working out?

Bonus points for anyone who figures this out

 

[W|M]

1) Oh well, good for you.
2) You didn't mentioned if happily married.
3) But you could get him!
4) Go there.
5) Meet him there.

I know! You like Tom Petty!

I'm like a freakin' detective!

[aimeeandbeatles]

How did you both figure that out?

As mentioned before, it's unhealthy, it's dangerous, and it has too many side effects. Eastern medicine is natural, effective, and if you stop the therapy the effects from it last for a long time. If you stop taking pills, the effect from them stop immediately.

On the other hand, Western Medicine has cut infant mortality in half in fifty years and doubled life expectancy in a hundred years. So yeah.

What do people have against PE?

 

[choxorn]

Is that a rhetorical question?

 

[PlutonianEmpire]

What do people have against PE?

Yeah, that's right! What do you guys have against me?!

 

[Tee Kay]

What do people have against PE?

Organized sport + peer pressure + popularity contest + being forced to participate + treating it as an academic subject all in all makes for a crap experience.
