Get the hell over it.

If your neighbor wants to eat whatever they want and not do a damned bit of excercise, please kindly fvck off and die before you even think about trying to control anyone's life but yours.

However, if your 800lb fat-ass neighbor comes over to your house and gets himself stuck in the front door so as to lower your quality of life, promply search for your "Home Liposuction w/ Chainsaw Accessory Kit" :D

but it's not that simple, is it. obesity costs billions - time off work, premature death, heart disease, mental illness, etc. those costs are borne by society at large.

They slow down the world's pace in an era where everything needs to catch up. They are the leeches and virii of this community and should be sent to concentration camps and burned so that they can never pass their inferior genes towards a new generation. Call me Hitler or whatever but he actually had a great idea and pushed it.

I don't like fat people either... but.. ummm.........?? :(

I confess I fail to see how the sickcare industry isn't to blame here.

..no mystery here. All you's puss guts are just the end result of highly successful marketing concept. The marketing people told ya to eat and your just following orders..all the way to your local industrial fast food joint. Just think of all the stock holders and people in the medical community that take great joy in your waddling about..while you contemplate your next multi-meat double cheese burger,fries and diet koke. Isn't it time for a little snake??

Bingo!

Well, except the not pleasant to look at bit. I can turn the other way.
what really sucks is now that I'm working at a hospital, it does kinda sicken me what the percentage of morbidly obese patrons we have is (and I mean those that are in the hospital because of diseases accociated with obesity). It's actually higher than cigarette smokers.

They're disgusting and I have a generally negative disposition towards them.

Stop being a control freak, says Mr. Wrong-Forum-Reminder.

Right, because posting a link to the correct forum is the same as trying to control everyone's lives and tell them how to live even the most intimate aspects of it :confused:

Everyone bats an eyelid at the sh1t you post in the anti-japanese thread and look where it leads; no regard at all for other people who you don't consider equal to yourself.Your opinions are extremely messed up. Even if this was sarcasm or a joke; it's in extremely poor taste. In short, fvck you.

It's funny that people get all worked up about fat people...

It's even more annoying when people bring up excuses like they raise my insurance premiums.

Other things that raise your premiums which are worse than fat people and in a lot of cases controllable:

Smokers, heavy drinkers, bad drivers, old people

Everyone has this ridiculous assumption that it's how they eat or they're eating too much. Have you ever considered that their metabolisms just suck? A lot of fat people aren't eating more than normal people. Hell, I know a lady who plays softball 6 days a week and runs all the time. All she eats for meals are cup o noodle's and is definitely fat.
