I have nothing against cardio. I just think weight training is WAY more beneficial. It isn't about being 'big' and 'muscular' either. You're not going to turn into Ronnie Coleman the day you pick up weights.
I think most people would agree that have a certain level of 'strength' is extremely beneficial. Not big, bulging muscle....but just a normal all around level of strength. And the best way to attain that is with weight training.
Starting Strength is a great program. Challenging and difficult....but awesome.

True, but you have to realize some people DO NOT like lifting weights; they would rather run or bike for hours on end. Starting Strength is the same as Stronglifts and both programs are really good. They make you focus on your form and get you to use the exercises that work the most muscles in your body. I've seen massive gains from these workouts. People are trying to lose weight here and the key to that is DIET!
