Do you hate it when some people say "I'd rather be THIS than THAT."

Like, if you tell a fat person they need to go on a diet,

And they respond with

I'd rather be large and content with myself than super-skinny and hating myself in order to please the public.

Or, why not find a happy medium?

You can lose some weight, still eat the food you like, and be content with yourself.

Yeah, it's certainly daft.

I'd suggest that people invoke common sense more frequently in order to avoid false dichotomies, but it is what we regard as common sense that generally leads us to make false dichotomies like the aforementioned one in the first place.

story time. I had to help this huge fat guy on a scooter in the bathroom at walmart once. he was in the handicapped stall and he had trouble backing out. it was hilarious! he was blaming the scooter. "I hate this thing! it never turns the way you want it to!" he was seriously frustrated with the scooter. i wanted to tell him so bad that if he would at least try and walk around the store, he wouldnt have that problem. god it was hilarious.

The whole fat thing is bad anyway. People who are overweight now think they are "Curvy" and skinny girls aren't what guys want. Some girls can eat all day and night and just stay the same figure and others bloat out and I know plenty of guys who prefer thin girls.

So yeah I do get annoyed by stuff like that :P
