First, I'm sorry to hear about your condition. It's really quite unfortunate.
Thanks? not sure what to say to that, never was.
However, I do believe my comment still stands. You have a (likely) high-carb diet you are required to be on which results in poor nutrition. That, combined with other health issues has led to weight gain.
Argue the cause, and it's certainly not your fault, but can you honestly say your nutrition is good?
Yes. I see a dietician at least once a month, and my diet is pretty dang optimized for health of this body.
The point I was making was that if someone is obese, they are not healthy. You cannot say the same about vegetarians. Some are healthy, some are not.
That is not what any of this is about.
 
People are only trying to change their attitude now because Jaqie is here.
Yep. I'm trying to wake some people the hell up to what they are doing. Even those that recognize that not all obese are so by choice, the behaviour is still very much there, and that is the problem.
 
This is either the 3rd or 4th fat shaming thread I've seen on AT. Same mean spirited comments being made as usual.

You seem to be fine getting your jabs in the AT religion hating threads.

It is 100% what the post of mine that you quoted was about.

I've have yet to see a "religion hating" thread on AT. Can you find me one? I want to read it.


If you're talking about poking fun in Incorruptible's threads about Christians being persecuted.....lol okay, dude. Ive never seen you post in one of Incorruptible's threads, so you don't know how good it is to mock him.
 
That's not what this is about, it's about you (and others) treating everyone obese as if they choose to be like that and that it somehow impacts your life directly to the point you have some sort of right to tell them what to do, instead of thinking "Hey, maybe this one has health issues and really is trying, maybe I shouldn't be rude or cruel to them..." as if being rude or cruel to anyone because of how they look is ok in the first place, which it is not.

And where did I label everyone obese as being unhealthy by choice? I said the majority and that is true. I never said all.
 
Anyone who doesn't think genetics or gland issues can cause issues with weight gain or weight loss is really ignorant. Metabolism, especially is a major factor in how your body reacts to food. I know guys and girls who are thin that could easily put away a large pizza by themselves and the food goes nowhere. On the other hand, take someone who doesn't have such an awesome metabolism and a 6 inch from subway could equal 3 pounds of weight gain.


Yes, maintaining your weight is a personal issue...but being heavy-set isn't always because you sat by the TV eating tubs of Mayonnaise.

I don't think you understand just how metabolism works. Muscles burn calories even when you're just sitting on the couch watching tv munching on ho hos. Fat doesn't burn calories. But you don't get those muscles if all you ever do is sit on the couch eating ho hos.

Oh excuse me...not EVERYBODY, but the MAJORITY of them....its like ALMOST EVERYBODY...but you know...not like....everybody.

No, it's about you and others trying to rationalize and internally justify treating others badly because of whatever reason. Your last one was grasping at straws because of me and my posts, the last part of your post was trying to justify it based on "it not being healthy for them [to be obese]".

There is no justification for treating someone badly based on how they look. It's that simple. Wake the hell up.
 
You didn't say "majority" in this post:

Oooh, sorry, I missed one post where I did not say majority. I didn't say all either. We can play the technicality game as well.

It's funny, when people don't have a defense against what is the obvious truth in most cases, they nitpick people's post as if that will make their points correct.

You know exactly what you meant. Don't throw a fit when someone calls you out on it. You didn't make a mistake. You said exactly what you were thinking.

They are obese because the keep shoving their faces with unhealthy food and do not even exercise. They aren't born fat, that is retarded. How about they get off their fat asses and work out, and also go on a diet. Instead, fat people get fatter because instead of exercising, they buy a freaking handicap mobile to cart themselves around.

Obese people should be shamed. Shamed off airplanes, shamed out of public places. Maybe then people will realize it's not okay being a giant whale and do something about it.


Don't use the word "Majority" if you don't want to be accused of generalizing an entire group.

Yeah, I know exactly what I meant. It's obvious I am talking about people who make a conscious decision to let their bodies go when they have a choice to become healthy. There is no mention of people with a medical issue as everyone knows that they have no choice.

So what do you mean when you read these posts? Why is your mindset purposefully labeling people who have medical issues? Will I continue to mock and label those who have a choice between being healthy and being fatasses? Yes.

There's a ton.

I admit, I had to search for about 5 minutes to come across a thread similar to this, where you made an off-hand comment about prayer that was deemed insensitive by everyone in the thread.

I occasionally post in his threads, but usually I just read them. Even if you're just ripping religious zealot strawmen to get a rise out of him, there are non-zealot religious people who may get offended too.

Good, so then you know you're the self righteous asshole type Jaqie's comment was about.

Don't be such a jerk. Your line about Shaming obese people off of everything was disgusting. We don't we just line them up and make them wear Scarlet letters?

And this is your example of an anti-religion post by me? I was being honest about an incident that had already come and gone and couldn't be changed by prayer. I think its selfish to push your religion onto someone else when you don't know what they believe. Instead of Prayer why don't you try to reach out to the victims directly. Send a letter, flowers, anything tangible.

My intention was not to be controversial or offensive and I don't think that comment was. I also did not have a hateful attitude about Christians who do want to pray.


That is a lot different than your "shame obese people" comments.

That is hateful.

You are so full of BS it's not even funny. Look at your post, you said all fat people. you said it, you meant it, and now you are feeling like you are in a corner and unwilling to admit you were freaking wrong, so you are fighting your way out of that perceived corner instead of being a rational sane decent person and admitting your actions and attitude were wrong.

Then do explain, please, how you're going to know the difference between someone with medical issues and someone without? How are you going to carry out your shaming plan without full and accurate medical history?

No it wasn't, and you obviously didn't read the context.

I wasn't defending making fun of obese people. I was pointing out that it was hypocritical to attack those who make fun of obese people while making fun of vegetarians.

Platypus tried to justify his comment about vegetarians by saying that vegetarians had bad nutrition. My comment about obese people having poor nutrition was to point out that his reason wasn't a valid one for making fun of vegetarians, because the same applies (in a greater extent in fact) to obese people.

OK then I was mistaken on your intent, but not your wording.
 
Do I have a shaming plan? I'm lost...

Something about putting a target on a manatee?
He edited his post to include something to you, and that line was meant to go above the quote of you, not below. Simple mistake in editing.

I think?
