Haha. I was thinking about that earlier today. Is anandtech the elite race? Sure seems we are. But after thinking for awhile I realized its probably just that we have so many members on the forums we are bound to get a lot of people who are intelligent, or fast, or tall, or whatever else. Its just the law of truly large numbers I guess?

nope just elitist morons who need to think they are better than everyone else to feel better and get on with life

It worked on smoking and we will make it work for the obesity epidemic.

Costing you money? Why are you paying Son of a Noob's medical bills?

If you're referring to increased medical claims related to obesity raising your insurance rates, well, lots of lifestyle and activity choices result in increased likelihood of needing additional healthcare. It's apparent how you feel about smokers, but should we penalize others who engage in dangerous activities, such as, say, motorcyclists? Or how about all of those athletes, with their strains and sprains? You know who really gets me, are all those pregnant people. I really hate what they do to my premiums, what with their prenatal care and cost of delivery. I shouldn't have to pay for their "choice".

Listen, if you do not accept the notion of distributed risk and the fact that people will do things you don't approve of, cancel your insurance policy. Pay for your healthcare out of your own pocket. Or write to your insurance company about their policies. Just enough already with the "waaahhh, other peoples' behavior costs me money" BS.

Oh, and I agree with the OP. I haven't seen this much childish fat bashing since elementary school.

No sorry, I cannot. Certain things need to be said. I will not walk on eggshells for fat people, bottom line.


20 years old.


Don't get me wrong, I don't hate or despise fat people. But there is no point defending obesity. It is NOT ok to be fat. It is not ok to make excuses for being fat. Bottom line.

Then do something to help them instead of being an a$$. Be part of the cure instead of part of the problem. And yes you're part of the problem if all you're doing is complaining about the fat people. Obesity is an emotional problem as well as a physical one.



I completely disagree with this statement. You see it is not my responsibility to make sure all the fat people (or insert other random bad habit) change their ways. It is THERE responsibility. I will not hold your hand through the process. Futhermore, you could argue that me 'rididculing' fat people is or isn't helping them lose weight. Common sense would lead me to believe that it would motivate them to do something about it, because being overweight is leading to undesirable outcomes (one of which is being ridiculed). But that is irrelevant.


As for my bashing Son of Noob before reading his entire post - Well it was obvious I did not need to read his entire post to see that he was full of crap. Halfway through the post he threatened to find my IP and beat my ass. Prior to that he implied that all of us 'non-fat' people were geek noobs. Basically his post was full of worthless crap, and thus I decided to flame. He deserved it.



YES BECAUSE CALLING A KID AT THE AGE OF 5 STUPID MOTIVATES THEM TO GO GET SMARTER AND TRY HARD????????????????????????????


fing moron stop trying to back down and not look like an idiot


I'm not backing down, not even the slightest. Show me one sentence where I have conceded the point? You won't find it. I have however clarified myself, since some people were making assumptions that simply were not true. Despite my best efforts of clarification, it seems to have missed getting into your thick skull. Read again, this is specifically for you Son of a NOOB:

I do not go out of my way to make fun of people, including and ESPECIALLY little kids.

okay since it will not get through your skull that must be thicken than the stomaches of overweight people oout there that you hate...lets recap...

you do not like fat people becuase they do nothing to help themselves..so you bash them making it worse...ANSWER THAT...you keep dodging the bullet



Wow, you really are stupid. I have said time and again I will not go out of my way to make fun of someone who is overweight. However, if they deserve it (I.E. I hear them making up stupid excuses) then the onslaught begins. I'm not sure how I can make it any more clear. Is there another language you would prefer me to type this in? Maybe English isn't your first language.


you will not go out of your way but you still do it...hence making your own hate further...so you can enjoy it more...your just as bad as the "so called" fat people you hate

the point is stop being an asshat



How am I just as bad as the fat people? I'm not costing you a dime with my statements. All it hurts is your sensitive feelings. As for the rest of your statement, it did not make to much sense. So I'll just let it sit for a few and hope someone can decipher what you were trying to say.

WOW

FFS STOP POSTING OR GO BACK AND READ THE THREAD!

you miss the whole point

EXIT THIS THREAD


you do not want to pay more "dimes" as you say, stop bashing the fat people AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT YOURSELF or at least do not BASH....hmmmm who is the lazy ass with low self esteme now?

i'm fvcking ripped and i dont hate fat people ...

however i do hate it when fat people try to make excuses for being fat. it is a fact of life (unless you have some outrageous medical condition) that if you take in more calories than you use, you will gain weight ... just a simple fact of life. dont give me excuses saying its a medical condition and thats why half of america is obese (thats not a real number, just putting out numbers). sure some people have fast metabolisms and can eat more than others and not gain weight, but thats no excuse to become fat if you aren't like that.

the kind of fat people that piss me off are the ones who are fat that think they should get special privelidges because they are fat. or the fat people who wear clothes that show off their fat. its just gross to look at fat peoples blubber hanging out of their shirt. it also bothers me when i see a fat person eating a big mac with a supersized drink and fries. sure, its their life and everything, but usually that same fat person (usually ... not always) is chewing with their mouth open and sound like they are running out of breath just eating because they are so out of shape.

the people i have the utmost respect for are the fatties I see at the gym for more than 3 weeks, because atleast they are trying hard to make a change in their lifestyle for the better.

Cuda,
Your first posts were all bashing comments. So it is obvious that you do enjoy bashing people without warrant, because Son of a N00b is not fat according to his posts. Your last posts are all trying to explain the "fat" situation, exactly what all of us, including "Son of a N00b" has been saying from the beginning. You are an ass, grow up, or you won't get far in life. Stop flaming, it is annoying.

Son of a N00b,
Ignore the little punk. Just realize, with that attitude, either someone is going to beat the living $h!t out of him someday, or some girl he likes won't give him the time of day.

I was bashing son of a noob, not fat people in general. Ive said (since the begginning) time and again I will not go out of my way to bash someone. But if they deserve it, such as Son of a Noob's idiot post (and threat, rofl) then I will give it to them.

No need to "bash" fat people, but I don't think the fact that being overweight is becoming less acceptable is a bad thing...

Totally agree with that statement Pablo. Although, I do not neccessarily believe it is becoming socially acceptable to bash fat people. The only thing that even indicates that is the fact that the government is finally getting wise and letting it be known that the American public should eat more healthily. Something that should have been done a long time ago. At the same time, I here more and more excuses about being fat.


I was in a social problems class this last semester. This topic came up one day in class. Now keep in mind the demographic was probably split between middle aged women (25-40 maybe?) and 18-22 year old students. (Community college, if anyone is interested.

As you could imagine, most of the younger people in the class are quiet, with the exception of a few. Myself being one of the few. Most of the middle aged women (a majority of which were overweight and lacked intelligence, to put it bluntly) defended being overweight and made all kinds of excuses for it. These excuses ranged from it being genetic, to not having time.

Now I realize that some people have 3 kids and work 2 jobs etc... but that is still not an excuse. No matter how busy you are, Im sure you can find 15-20 minutes a day to go outside and excercise, if not a lot more. The whole genetic argument is total BS, and doesn't even deserve a rebuttal.


Despite my best efforts, I could not convince the defenders of the 'fat epidemic' to see the light, but I didn't expect to. The whole point of me posting this story is that it is the main reason many people despise or are aggravated with obese people. I don't HATE someone because they are overweight, but I do get annoyed by them. And I also think they are full of sh!t when they make up excuses for their inadequacies (sp?). At that point I begin to lose respect for them (read: still not hate).


It has been my experience that many overweight people are simply lazy, and will look towards a billion other 'causes' to blame this on, rather than themselves.

Yup; people make excuses for being lazy. If you want to make a change, you will. If you don't, you won't. It's pretty black and white. If someone wants to lose weight, they'll take the steps necessary to do so. Otherwise, they'll stay fat and inevitably blame their obesity on everything but themselves. The middle aged women in Cuba's story are a perfect example. "Whaa I have 2 kids", "whaa I work 40 hours a week", "whaa my mother was fat so I can't help it!". Those are common excuses, and they're all a bunch of bullsh*t. I have absolutely no problem with laughing at someone and calling them a fatass if they're going to be lazy asses and not make the effort to change. They deserve being ridiculed.

It has been my experience that many overweight people are simply lazy, and will look towards a billion other 'causes' to blame this on, rather than themselves.

Yup; people make excuses for being lazy. If you want to make a change, you will. If you don't, you won't. It's pretty black and white. If someone wants to lose weight, they'll take the steps necessary to do so. Otherwise, they'll stay fat and inevitably blame their obesity on everything but themselves. The middle aged women in Cuba's story are a perfect example. "Whaa I have 2 kids", "whaa I work 40 hours a week", "whaa my mother was fat so I can't help it!". Those are common excuses, and they're all a bunch of bullsh*t. I have absolutely no problem with laughing at someone and calling them a fatass if they're going to be lazy asses and not make the effort to change. They deserve being ridiculed.

and so do you for your ignorance and closeminded bs...


How is he being closeminded? Or ignorant?

You are costing me money. You should be fined if you are overweight or at the very least pay 5-10 times in insurance premiums so I don't have to pay for all your health problems from you CHOICE to be fat.

It worked on smoking and we will make it work for the obesity epidemic.

Costing you money? Why are you paying Son of a Noob's medical bills?

If you're referring to increased medical claims related to obesity raising your insurance rates, well, lots of lifestyle and activity choices result in increased likelihood of needing additional healthcare. It's apparent how you feel about smokers, but should we penalize others who engage in dangerous activities, such as, say, motorcyclists? Or how about all of those athletes, with their strains and sprains? You know who really gets me, are all those pregnant people. I really hate what they do to my premiums, what with their prenatal care and cost of delivery. I shouldn't have to pay for their "choice".

Listen, if you do not accept the notion of distributed risk and the fact that people will do things you don't approve of, cancel your insurance policy. Pay for your healthcare out of your own pocket. Or write to your insurance company about their policies. Just enough already with the "waaahhh, other peoples' behavior costs me money" BS.

Oh, and I agree with the OP. I haven't seen this much childish fat bashing since elementary school.

As long as they pay substancially more for health insurance and get taxed out the wazoo, society will be much better. I'm not paying for their poor choices.

20 years old.


Don't get me wrong, I don't hate or despise fat people. But there is no point defending obesity. It is NOT ok to be fat. It is not ok to make excuses for being fat. Bottom line.

Then do something to help them instead of being an a$$. Be part of the cure instead of part of the problem. And yes you're part of the problem if all you're doing is complaining about the fat people. Obesity is an emotional problem as well as a physical one.



I completely disagree with this statement. You see it is not my responsibility to make sure all the fat people (or insert other random bad habit) change their ways. It is THERE responsibility. I will not hold your hand through the process. Futhermore, you could argue that me 'rididculing' fat people is or isn't helping them lose weight. Common sense would lead me to believe that it would motivate them to do something about it, because being overweight is leading to undesirable outcomes (one of which is being ridiculed). But that is irrelevant.


As for my bashing Son of Noob before reading his entire post - Well it was obvious I did not need to read his entire post to see that he was full of crap. Halfway through the post he threatened to find my IP and beat my ass. Prior to that he implied that all of us 'non-fat' people were geek noobs. Basically his post was full of worthless crap, and thus I decided to flame. He deserved it.



YES BECAUSE CALLING A KID AT THE AGE OF 5 STUPID MOTIVATES THEM TO GO GET SMARTER AND TRY HARD????????????????????????????


fing moron stop trying to back down and not look like an idiot


I'm not backing down, not even the slightest. Show me one sentence where I have conceded the point? You won't find it. I have however clarified myself, since some people were making assumptions that simply were not true. Despite my best efforts of clarification, it seems to have missed getting into your thick skull. Read again, this is specifically for you Son of a NOOB:

I do not go out of my way to make fun of people, including and ESPECIALLY little kids.

okay since it will not get through your skull that must be thicken than the stomaches of overweight people oout there that you hate...lets recap...

you do not like fat people becuase they do nothing to help themselves..so you bash them making it worse...ANSWER THAT...you keep dodging the bullet



Wow, you really are stupid. I have said time and again I will not go out of my way to make fun of someone who is overweight. However, if they deserve it (I.E. I hear them making up stupid excuses) then the onslaught begins. I'm not sure how I can make it any more clear. Is there another language you would prefer me to type this in? Maybe English isn't your first language.


you will not go out of your way but you still do it...hence making your own hate further...so you can enjoy it more...your just as bad as the "so called" fat people you hate

the point is stop being an asshat



How am I just as bad as the fat people? I'm not costing you a dime with my statements. All it hurts is your sensitive feelings. As for the rest of your statement, it did not make to much sense. So I'll just let it sit for a few and hope someone can decipher what you were trying to say.

the kind of fat people that piss me off are the ones who are fat that think they should get special privelidges because they are fat. or the fat people who wear clothes that show off their fat. its just gross to look at fat people. it also bothers me when i see a fat person eating a big mac with a supersized drink and fries. sure, its their life and everything, but usually that same fat person (usually ... not always) is chewing with their mouth open and sound like they are running out of breath just eating because they are so out of shape.

the people i have the utmost respect for are the fatties I see at the gym for more than 3 weeks, because atleast they are trying hard to make a change in their lifestyle for the better.
