I do yoga once a week as part of my fitness program. I do it because I love the stretch it gives me and it helps with core strength and balance.

However, if it pisses off a liberal, well, that’s just a bonus Big Grin

I’ll “appropriate” whatever I damn well please deary. Mmkay?

Hey hey, Booboo! We're being called racists now!"

Yeah, yoga. The one started by them brown skinned people over in India? It's racist?



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Well, it's a Michigan State University article with as much credibility to it as Larry Nassar.

Serious question: who are the "people of the global South" referenced in that article? Also "cisheteropatriarchy."

That's why when I do it, I just call it "stretching". Wink

Saves awkward (for them) conversations with SJWs at the Gym.

Wait, I've never had a Gym membership, look I'm already checkin' my privelage! Big Grin

Hey Ghandi... You are appropriating white culture from Ann Arbor and the Native Americans that once lived in Michigan. And, I hope you eat nothing but Indian food and drive a car by Tata Motors, and what the fuck are you even doing here in our country appropriating our American-ness?

Choke on a bag of rhino dicks you worthless excuse for a human. Truly go fuck off and die and make the world a better place.

“Especially during this time when the underbelly of capitalism — white supremacy, cisheteropatriarchy, and xenophobia – is being exposed, it is imperative that everyone, especially those who have access to spiritual practices like yoga, ask difficult questions of ourselves and one another,” the two concluded. “We must ask, in what ways are we complicit in a system that harms people of color, queer and trans people, poor people, people with disabilities, and immigrants?”

Hahahhahahahahaha!

No.

Bugger off, y'loon.

Prior to this, I had zero interest in yoga.

Now, I may reconsider.




The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC

Europeans invented shoes.

NO ON ELSE GETS TO WEAR SHOES.

Take off your shoes all you non-European cultural appropriaters.
