Do you treat fat people differently?

[GhostTX]

im eating MC Donalds right now boitch! yea but your right i eat once a day most of the time

See, to me, McD's and similar joints are an indulgence...not for every day consumption.

[lowthreeohz]

Yeah, it's too bad we can't all be exactly the same...

Nobody wants that.. are you just fishing for an arguement? lol

You could eat there all day long if you ordered the right thing, I'm just saying!

I have tachycardia along with a LOT of damage to soft tissue of my brain, balance issues because of that and have a really nifty cane.

V-tach is a bitch. Do you have a pacemaker?

Emma Carney, once a pro triathlete, was diagnosed with ventricular tachycardia. She did retire because of it but still competes at a lower level. She did a 300km bike race in 2008. Her ICD did shock her heart but only because she "forgot" about her condition and decided to chase the lead pack.

You're right.. it's only costing a few billion dollars a year.
Oh.. but i don't pay into medic....oh wait i do. shit.

Maybe we shouldn't be mean to people because they're fat, but i sure as hell have no problem being mean to them for being leeches on society.

Your statement, to me, seems like you think only thin people have / pay for health care. That all fat people are uninsured / non-paying jelly eatin' motherfuckers. And, to boot, that this is the only problem facing our country these days.

Ok, I know you didn't come right out and say it was the only problem in America so perhaps it's more fair for me to ask everyone who's entitled to give off a random shittly glare to fat people for merely existing in their line of sight for a moment, this.

Who else do you treat like shit on a daily basis? A) based on appearance and B) are a drain on the economy and more so your hard earned dollars?

We've covered the fat people... what about single parents? smokers? families on welfare? what about the unemployed?

I'm trying to think of everyday folks like you and I that are just trying to get by one day at a time that deserve to be treated like complete shit for poor dietary choices. That deserve to get a disgusted glare from across the room while they're trying to have a family dinner at a public eatery because they're fat in the eyes of another ......And they're of course getting this treatment by others, who of course, have NEVER had such things as the making of poor choices about what should / shouldn't go into ones body. People who have never put less than admirable things into their OWN bodies.

Fine YOU pay for his multiple bypasses he's going to have to survive another 5-10 years just so he can eat more KFC and Pizza Hut. If we as a nation didn't have to focus our medical care on treating people for being disgusting and unhealthy to a point of gluttony then maybe Dr's could spend the majority of their time working on worthwhile pursuits like horrible diseases that people have no option as to whether or not they get.

I don't take what you say personally kim, nor do I walk up to fat people and verbally try to get them to commit suicide (most of the time). I however lump obesity up there with the guy who needs a new liver at 40 because he drank like a college freshmen for 20 years straight. I have NO sympathy for people who waste their lives by over indulging in shit, poisoning their bodies, and then expect modern medicine to be able to save them at the last minute and help them lead happy normal lives. Maybe they shouldn't have had 30 JITB taco's a week for 20 years just like you'd say to a lifetime alcoholic maybe you shouldn't have put back a bottle of whiskey a day when he's on his death bed. Does it suck someone is wasting their life away to early grave in a fast food drive through? Yes, but 99% of time people don't get obese because of some psychological eating disorder they do it because of little respect for themselves and no foresight for their future.

It's being a glorified bully to sit there and say you have the right to make such harsh statements to people you don't even know. (and again not directly at YOU but to anyone who feels they have the right to open their cock holster to say a fucking word to someone else about something that's none of their fucking business.)

I never said larger folks deserved to have folks feeling sorry for them for their dietary choices. I said it wasn't right to treat ANYONE like any less of a human being because of their personal choices to live however the fuck they choose to.

It will be a cold day in hell before I am rude, crude, judgemental, or otherwise unacceptable to someone based on their appearance. You can fix fat, but douchebaggery is much harder to get reversed

You're not paying for FAT people. You're paying for EVERYONE, get it? Babies born to uninsured folks everyday, injuries sustained by those with no health care, the free dental care provided to the homeless causes the prices you pay for your dental care to go up, so I guess we should go roll some bums after work too?

I went to the hospital twice last year with a bleeding ulcer. You paid for it up front. So did I, as I am a tax payer just the same as you. I got a break on the cost because I have no insurance and didn't have to pay up front for the medical attention though, so I guess it's okay for the doctor who treated me at the ER to give me a fucked up glance on the street because he knows I came in without insurance?

I guess my point is this... Where does the ignorance end? Since when does treating someone like a piece of shit for their appearance become a justifiable act? Last time I checked, that's what asshole bullies do in god damn grade school, not grown ass men and women who SHOULD know better.

I was going to leave this thread alone, then I thought about :

[I]Gluttony
Main article: Gluttony

[I]"Pride
Main article: Pride

It never fails the more I look outwardly at the things I have a problem with, I get directed to look back internally.

Thank you for sharing this

This is DFWMustangs... the threads will appear shortly.

No, just trying to point out that this judgmental, self-righteous bullshit is ridiculous. People are all different in size, shape, weight, and especially function. That's what makes the world go 'round. If someone wants to be overweight, or can't help being overweight, who are we to pass judgment on them? People need to mind their own business. Pick yourselves apart, not others.

True.

I'm only upset at "big people" because American Airlines hates me.

If I have a last minute flight I'm typically stuck in the middle seat of a full plane between two three hundred pounders with breathing problems. Most of the times the attendants don't even know I'm there because I'm hidden underneath sweaty fat rolls.

Oh yea, the person in the middle in front of me is usually 300 pounds as well and leans their seat back.

[Raskal]

I don't like skinny people and it disgusts me when they eat like birds, picking at their salads.

They either are going to throw it up later or have some drug problem.

screw you too knee gro

[OldGuysRule]

Supersize me bullshit

Stupid movie.

We are the tax payers. We are the people who pay inflated insurance prices due to their lack of health. We are the people who foot the bill for their lack of control. We are the motherfuckers getting stuck paying for their bullshit "im entitled to be fat" mindsets.

You're completely missing my point, medical cost wise a majority of my medical tax money is going to be used by undeserving POS's to take care of their gluttony, drunkenness, drug abuse, and general disdain for their own body. The poor anchor baby or average person who only goes when they break a bone regardless of health coverage will be sucking alot less of my money than the fat fuck who is currently eating a 1200 calorie burger. I don't walk up to every fat peice of shit I see and say "Hey FATTY put that burger down or give me back my medicare money!" maybe I SHOULD because being the nice guy gets people no where since there's plenty of people wiling to indulge others faults and say it's ok. I DO have the right as a taxpayer to say that some one who purposely fucked up their own body deserves subpar coverage when compared to someone who has the personal responsibility to take care of themselves even if they only do it to a minimum healthy level.

I'm back from the gym, and I'm still 40+lbs overweight. WTF?
