I have liberal friends who refuse to believe this is happening, thinking it must be a loony right-wing conspiracy theory. Wrong. It is illegal in Germany & UK to insult someone & the punishment is worse for online than in person. Even RTing an "insulting" post is illegal.

Why Marathon Training is Shortening Your Life Your heart isn't built for chronic punishment. The same cardiovascular stress that makes you endure pain and suffering for longer can also make you vulnerable. Exercise saves lives. That's undisputed. But chronic high-intensity
