Bodybuilding is not a sport.

[Soundness]

tell me where the physical exertion is in a beauty pageant

E

Sucking in your stomache,
maintaining perfect posture,
maintaining the most attractive look on your face possible,
portraying desired personality,
the rigorous pre-competition preparation including diet, possibly training, etc...

(it all involves muscle control similar to bodybuilding)

Exactly.  Bodybuilding IS a pageant...  it is EXACTLY the same thing.  Earl is blind if he can't see this.

Yeah, but we actually have a vibrant dynamic economy.   All you have is a bunch of undereducated unemployed douchebags sitting around dilapidated union halls bitching about their lives.

what does this have to do with me, this thread, or anything?

talk about being desperate for a comeback after getting owned hahaha

just saw in today's paper that the burgh was ranked as a top 10 safest city in the country and most livable

your life is getbig 24/7, what do you have 100,000 posts with you and you're gimmicks?  what would you do with your time if getbig didn't exist?

Get back on topic, Earl:

miss america contestants don't have stomachs

maintaining perfect posture is done by anybody with confidence

having a nice face is not a skill or talent

portraying personality is not physical exertion nor skill

eating salads, walking on a treadmill, lifting 5 lb dumbells for sets of 30 is not rigorous

Wow, an entire set of false statements.  Not a single statement there is true, Earl, not at all.

What a coincidence... some bodybuilders don't have brains.

who needs brains when you have 22inch arms?

You can honestly say you think every one of those statements is true?

I'm not being mean, just read them over one by one and honestly consider whether or not you think each really is true...

Someone should tell medical researchers so they can study this phenomenon...   an entire sub-group of humans living without stomachs is extremely interesting and should be studied.

Well i wouldn't consider having a nice face a skill or a talent.

you know what i mean, you did say bodybuilders didn't have brains so i guess we should study them too

You still have to do things with your facial muscles, much like properly holding a pose. Your face has muscles that control the way it looks. You have to voluntarily control your mouth, eyes, eyebrows, cheeks, etc... check this out, it's a book for people to build their facial muscles to make them better looking:

OK, that's like saying that after a bodybuilder builds their body up to a certain form, he/she doesn't have to worry about how he/she presents their body or self on stage.

lol, never heard of that before.

Maybe i've been neglecting my facial muscles...? 

So holding a pose is considered a skill? Bodybuilders do lots of poses that consist of the whole body...

the way a beauty pageant contestant presents themselves is not physical exertion like a bodybuilder

True, and I agree with you. My argument, and I believe Goatboy's as well, is that bodybuilding is a beauty pageant.
"Beauty queens" and bodybuilders simply strive for different forms of "beauty."
