Some people are just unlucky to have slow metabolism. I mean you guys tell them to excercise, but then I look at myself... I eat like a fvcking truck and I show no restrain in what I eat. I'm 6' and 180 lbs & my female friends tell me I'm a pretty good looking guy.

Now I don't give a fvck about my looks and neither do you. I'm just saying...some are just born with very slow metabolism and end up being fat. You can't exactly point fingers at the fat people because my diet & effort is no different than them, I just luckily have a fast metabolism.

A thought.

These unlucky people with slow metabolisms should put down the bag of Doritos.

AND GET ON A TREADMILL
There's an idea that'll never take off.:evil:

How in the fuck is that any of your business? Why does it matter to you what she eats?

I swear, the fat-hat on this forum borders on outright bigotry...it's no different than hating someone because of their race, national origin, or religion.

I can only imagine the amount of hatred if someone started hating on Asians or Indians...even though it wouldn't last long...because the person would get an instant permaban...

While you are right in some cases, a few points:

1)medical care and handicapped spaces cost ME tax money.

2)race and national origin are completely out of our control. Weight and religion are not. Sure enough, not a lot of racial bashing gets tolerated on this forum...but a decent bit of religion and fat-bashing does.


1)parks and pe classes for children to learn to exercise cost ME tax money. just let them sit at their workstations, buy excessive amounts of soda, generating jobs and corp taxes and die early. Stop wasting money trying to make everyone into paris hilton.

its that most of them dont fucking care that they are fat

I don't have a problem with the ones that don't complain. I have a problem with the fatties that are always whining about how fat they are.

There is a woman in my apartment building who has a handicapped parking tag. The only ailment that I can notice is that she is obese. I would be mad that I have to park around the corner sometimes while she always has a front row spot except for the fact that she is immense and I can laugh at that.

Agreed. I hate that shit too. Nothing worse than driving to the grocery store in the pouring down rain and see some fat ass getting out of their car in a handicap spot.

Yeah because people can choose their national origin, race, or religion by simply not cramming their disgusting maws full of fat and sugar all day.

You have completely, utterly missed the point. Feel fry to cry about that as well.

Nothing's wrong with being fat. I love fat people. Correction, I love standing next to fat people so I look better by comparison... unless they stink. But if they smell like bacon, then I love them again.

I've never hid the fact I'm fat (375lbs), so if I want to make fun of other fat people I will. But you won't see me park in a handicap space or ever ride an electric scooter.

Then by your reasoning, we should heap hatred on Sash1's grandfather for getting skin cancer, since by all accounts, that is for the most part preventable.

Or we should all be railing against immigrants for coming to this country...after all, they do that voluntary (except for the kids) and since they are taking jobs that Americans might want, that's more to hate them for...right?

Oh yeah, let's not forget...they are costing us money as well. State and other government agencies, hospitals and other businesses have to hire translators for them, publish manuals and tons of other paperwork in a multitude of foreign languages...THAT all costs us money...PLUS, look at how many LEGAL immigrants are getting government services...if they weren't, why would all the paperwork need to be in any language except English?

Hate is hate, no matter what the focus of it is.

But, do you NEED a scooter or qualify for a handicapped parking pass?
If you don't qualify for one, (just being fat doesn't qualify you) then why would you park in a parking place designated for handicapped people anyway? If you don't NEED a scooter to get around, why the hell would you want to ride around, looking like an idiot in one in the first place? It took a lot of nagging by my wife to get me into one. I hate the dammed things, but if I don't drive one, my time in the store is VERY limited. I can usually walk up one aisle and down the next...and I'm done...some days, not that well.

Hell, I'm subject to make a bit of fun at fat people, and I are one, but I don't understand all the hate and anger from everyone here. Many of the people here have something or another that someone else dislikes, race, religion, color, national origin, sexual orientation, (yes, most of those are Constitutionally protected classes) and hating on any of them here will get you a LOOOOONG vacation...(like forever)...but fat people...let them choke on their cheetos. :roll:

Hmm, and yet, we DON'T hate Sash1's grandfather, and we don't all hate immigrants. And being fat isn't a constitutionally protected class. Hmmm... I wonder why that it is? Could it...could it be that being fat isn't comparable to any of those things, and your screeching little rant/bad analogy is completely meaningless? Maybe!

You're right, fat people are pretty much universally looked down upon, and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. Except lose some weight. Or just accept it. Take your pick buddy, because I'll tell you, if you're waiting for the same social acceptance as immigrants and cancer victims, then don't hold your breath.

Unless you're cramming another handful of Reese's Pieces into your sweaty face. Then maybe hold your breath for a sec. Breathing and eating at the same time is dangerous!

2 months ago I weighed ~ 220lbs (I'm 5' 9). Tub of lardass was I.
I started a carb free diet and lost a bit of weight. I'm at 189lbs now. 24 more to go.
