[Optimus B]

Sorry, Optimus, but in your/our class action lawsuit you would end up making about 2 cents, and your LAWYER would end up the millionaire!!!!

Frack, I don't know ONE person who just woke up one morning and decided they wanted to weigh 400 lbs.

But how many fat people do you know that woke up and said i will never be 400 pounds?

Seems that fat people a weak mentally and of a low IQ. They are victims of their own minds, dieting and eating halthy is not hard, if you have goals of being healthy and fit. Most fat people just don't care. I does not take a genius to figure out that going up a flight of stairs and getting winded warrats a lifestyle change. DMAN, wake up already and get a grip.

Me, for one. And I'm not.



Has it occurred to anyone yet that an attitude like:

Seems that fat people a(re) weak mentally and of a low IQ. They are victims of their own minds

is awfully simplistic? You cannot boil everything in life down to one issue and call it Weight and What The Body Looks Like.

I personally completed 7 years of higher education and have a professional degree. You cannot get through that if you are weak mentally, and you sure as hell can't do it with a low IQ. How is it that a person can be a nuclear physicist or something, but if they are fat, "they are weak mentally and have a low IQ???"

Let me put it this way. Most people have problems with SOME area of life. I know some people with an alcohol or drug problem. Some people have a smoking problem. Some folks just can't get out of a bad relationship, can't stop picking bad relationships, or can't get their finances in order. Some people hit their wives and children. You could say, I imagine, that these people are "victims of their own minds" as well.

And some people have more trouble sticking to a diet and exercise plan than others. Some have trouble looking any different with the diet and exercise plan that they are sticking to. Why is it that ONE category of problem seems to be SO much worse than any of the others to you?

Why is it that only the latter category of problems people have in life is deserving of the sort of scorn you heap on fat people?? You really *don't* know ... they can have everything else going right for them, but if they are fat, they are a loser! Something is very wrong with this sort of thinking.

I see a lot of scorn among you people for those who are having some trouble controlling what goes into their mouths. How about those who cannot control what comes *out* of their mouths? In my experience, that is at least as bad!

Most fat people just don't care. I(t) does not take a genius to figure out that going up a flight of stairs and getting winded warrats a lifestyle change.

Yeah, we DO care.

I personally don't get winded going up stairs. I may fall off the fitness wagon now and again, but I always get back on again. I imagine I am going to take a bit longer to be able to look or lift like any of you guys at this rate. BUT I am still cutting my risk for diabetes, heart disease, and osteoporosis, and even if I never look like a fitness magazine cover, when I am 85 years old and can still cook, clean, and garden, I won't care.

All I am saying is, stop making blanket judgements about people based on how they look. You really don't know that person. You only THINK you do.

DMAN, wake up already and get a grip.

I will if you will.

i have fought the battle too many times to count troll.... i don't like encouraging people to give up, but you are being unrealistic if you think you can change their minds...

 

[ATrollFromTheFatBoard]

I doubt anyone will actually agree. I just want to put these ideas in front of people.

cockdezl put the smack down.

 

[PinK233]

I really could care less who is fat as long as it isn't me....if you like being fat, then be happy and stuff your face....if you don't like being fat, then stop your bitching and get on a treadmill....don't blame other people such as McDonald's or society for your lack of discipline.

That's an irrelevant statement. It's not as if they go from 180-400lb overnight either....it takes years.... if someone reaches 250lbs and continues with their habits until they hit 400lbs, it is 100% their fault...this lack of self responsibility that is in vogue in America is fucking pathetic. It's not the fault of the evil corporations, it's not the fault of the evil magazines with skinny women....if you really cannot take responsibilty for yourself even to the point of blaming your obesity on commercials and convienence, than perhaps you are better off being eliminated from the gene pool...and I am speaking not to you troll directly...Like I said, I work at GNC, I deal with fat people all day long, and the one thing that strikes me the most is that they are whiny, and lazy, as hell.
