      His poor wife... She's going to hear that story fifteen times this week and hundreds for the rest of her natural life. And his kids? Don't take Dad anywhere that he can stand by the grill or you'll introduce him and hear "..so Arnie, we're '*like this*', so that's what I call him, he says... Guns. ". And the kids are mortified mostly because half the people standing there have heard it. And how each year Echo and Arnie are '*like this*' just a bit more. 😆

I've noticed that both sides point fingers at each other and can't discuss anything without yelling or raising pitchforks. Nobody today can disagree with anyone on anything stupid thing without people wanting to automatically crucify them. It's ridiculous.

    The one and only Arnold Schwarzenegger. This man was my hero growing up and a huge inspiration for me. Great to hear stories of his early life.
    His advice on working and toughing out is spot on, like the saying goes: Tough times make tough people. As a kid who was bullied all though school, my life changed when I discovered sports. My athletics coach, who I will be forever grateful for, provided me with guidance and pushing me when I felt like giving up. He changed my habits, my diet and my whole outlook on life. He is gone now (passed away in 2005) but i learnt his lessons well and try to pass them on to my children.

      Arnold made that comment from the perspective of trying to help those out there who are vulnerable. You could say he was misinformed perhaps but at the time he felt that lives depended on people wearing masks in public. Being alive seems more important than someone putting others at risk by expressing their freedom to not have to wear a mask if they didn't want to. I can understand the frustration he was feeling at the time, even if it was misinformed.

      @@RichieIsRight All authoritarians could make the same excuse. Also, if we were actually free to choose and discuss the issue, then being misinformed and arguing for masks wouldn't have been as bad. But to take people's freedom away both by mandating masks and restricting discussion on the matter was too far.
