Remain Strong ".........Thoughout the ages history has repeated itself. Macedonia, Sparta, Carthage, Greece and Rome each took their turn at ruling the world, until dissipation and a love of, and indulgence in, luxury took the place of physical exercise with its resulting strength creating and good health building. A nation remains strong and virile as long as its people strive to excel physically. When the time came that they were willing to rely upon the muscles of slaves, as did the great nations which fell in the past, or are willing to be served entirely by modern conveiences as we have today, then that nation falls. In the past, the world leaders were overun by savage nations - barbarians as far as the arts were concerned, but men who still believed in physical strength and physical ability. That one of the paramount reasons for dedicating my life to encouraging the men and women of our nation to continue to better themselves physically. In many other countries of the world there is physical training, usually with goverment supervision - enforced physical training. This makes the dictaor ruled nations strong. We many not subscribe to their theories of goverment, but we must admit that their rulers are building a strong, virle race of people - cannon fodder, if you perfer to phrase it in that manner, but men who will conquer the world world unless we of this country and of other democratic nations continue to keep ourselves strong through physical training. Strength begets courage and confidence; strength is the best means to peace. And our nation will lead the world just as long as the younger generation continues to retain an interest in their physical selves, their appearance, strength, and are willing to work toward the end of excelling physically. Just as long as a race of people or a nation excel physically, are really strong, healthy and beautiful, its men and women will be mentally and spiritually strong and beautiful. And just as sure as death and taxes, when a race of people or a nation succumb to a willingness to indulge their bodies in empty ease, idleness, dissipation, or even vicous licentiousness, when they reach the point of believing or imagining that they can continue to retain or develope red-blodded. strong, virile bodies by substituting vitrolic dissipation for dynamic exercise, there is bound to be but one result - completed failure and collapse of their civilization; the conquering of their country by stronger, more ambitious, more courageous men, who are organized their lives that they strive industriously to be stronger and healthier, that they live simple, wholesome lives and keep themselves at the peak physically. A close study of modern and ancient history, the history of man as man and woman as woman, has many times proven this to be true." America is strong because we are only a generation or two removed from the hard-working simple-living, courageous, ambitious pioneers. Now that our mode of living has changed with many modern conveniences, labor saving devices, short hours of work, it is imperative to keep our nation at the head of the parade of nations; that we make up for the hard work and simple living of lives not too different from those which helped our ancestors make this nation great.........."

Re: Remain Strong Definitely written in the PRE-NUCLEAR age. ONE nuke and EVERYONE starts shooting. Then we ALL have a bad day. And being physically fit means squat these days.

Re: Remain Strong Tough to remain strong, when getting raped from both ends. Thanks for the reminder though, this past year has taken it's toll on me. I can feel the stress settling in my bones and sinew.

Not every attack is or will be a nuclear attack. Yes, I agree. I do do squats to help keep physically fit.:wink:

Re: Remain Strong Bounce around as much as you will with your exercise machines etc. it is not going to help you as they put cancer virus in your vaccines, allaxan in your flour, mercury in your sweeteners,bisphenol A in your drink bottles, etc.etc.etc.

Re: Remain Strong YOu can never overestimate the importance of physical fitness. You heal faster, digest food better, have more energy, resist disease easier, You do not want to be trying to get in shape in between firefights or on the bug out trail, where gassing out could very well mean death for you, or more importantly your loved ones. You can have some fat stored but you need the muscle and cardio or you will have shit for endurance. Endurance is important you would be amazed how much work just having adreniline jack your heart rate 10 beats per minutes is and how tired it makes you.
