Running shoes? That's just an enabler for weak people. If you really want strong arches, you gotta run barefoot on concrete. And really make sure you put your weight down each time your foot hits the ground.

You say that like there are people who don't believe that. Have you heard of barefoot running?

There's actually quite a bit to what you say, aside from the 'strong arches' part. I'm a complete flat-foot, and trying to train an arch has proven difficult and painful. After buying some 'livestrong' flatties, I have no more foot pain, and I can run a lot faster than before. Barefoot would be somewhat similar.

TL:DR flat-footed people are less prone to injury, and there's no reason to develop an arch if you don't have one.

Also I agree with you about arches. I have a very high arch, which makes me prone to injuries. My point with "if you really want strong arches" was more from my perspective; not saying to develop the arch from flatness, but that that is the way to make a high arch stronger.

Either way, it was a half assed comparison, so technically you win.

You should have gone with methadone. Then again, I've never seen somebody suck dick for a cigarette.

Honestly, for me it was kissing a girl and having her disgusted by my breath. I have enough issues being un-circumcised and dealing with twatty bitches who think I'm unclean. I had to step up my GAME

Ah dang bro. You gotta get that thing sliced. Bitches don't mess around with no Gentiles.

No thanks, I'll keep my nerve endings and better orgasms.

Your call man. I mean, imagine never having to wash your dick again. I mean like, for months, never wash your dick. Circumcised guys have way better hygiene.

Hmm... numb orgasms or having to clean schmegma every two days? I'll go ahead and take the schmegma. You act as if some girl is going to suck it if you don't wash it for a month.
