If I can help it, no. Their foot tastes good, but it's absolutely awful for you... so I try not to.Taxpaying_Acorn
When I choose what to eat, I only consider its taste. We don't have that much time here, so we might as well enjoy ourselves, and eat like pigs :D

[QUOTE="jm4847"][QUOTE="bt_the_great_78"][QUOTE="jm4847"] Moderation and self-discipline is important to you, what if other people don't care about that, and choose to enjoy eating and hate exercise and tofu? Are you going to think less of them just because they don't share your values? stkr

Well, yeah. I am pretty sure I've got that right. If obese, lazy, undisciplined slobs wish to think less of me because I am not obese, lazy, and an undisciplined slob and share their values (or lack of values), they also have that right.

But what do you gain by being intolerant towards a certain group of people?

Nothing, and all large people aren't that way because of their eating habits.

True. Sometimes is genetics or a disease.

The reason I didn't nominate anyone for the OTcars is because I assumed it was something about cars, and since I don't like cars, I didn't open it, now I regret my lack of curiosity :cry:

I can't believe how many people are advocating obesity in this thread and saying it's not a bad thing. :|luke1889
It's neither good nor bad. It just is.
i only mind fat people if they are not making an honest attempt to become healthier.  inyourface_12
I mind them when they hate themselves for being fat but do nothing about it. If they are fat and ok with it, I don't see the problem.
Well we don't live in the magical world of bunnies so it's natural that we get annoyed by simple things. I love to crack jokes about weight, hair color,anything really. If you take it too seriously then maybe you just need to get laid. Bottom line is we have people of all different kinds of sizes and there isn't much we can do except joke about it.boyblob
One thing is joking, I'm ok with it. But only as long as we respect each other.

[QUOTE="eggsiboss"][QUOTE="jm4847"]to make fun of and discriminate them? There are laws (in the US and my country) that condemn racism and discrimination based on sexual preferences. Today it is okay to be gay (as it should be). But I hear and read how some say that fat people are disgusting and they hate them and are a waste of taxpayer's money (that's such a weak argument, some people do pay for their medical insurance). Can't you see that when people say "Fatties make me sick", "They should all be fed to a poor family" and stuff like that are acting like the people that says homosexuality is an abomination? Why can't we be ahead of our times, and stop trying to find reasons to hate or discriminate against others? If someone likes to eat and doesn't care about his/her figure and assumes responsability for whatever happens to him/her, why do you have to demand that person changes his/her life style? Our time here is too short, and if someone doesn't want to mortify himself/herself with diets, healthy food (yuck!), exercise and struggling to get society's ok, I say let them, and respect them.

Dude let me start by answering your question- We can never be ahead of our times and stop discriminating against others as this is inherant human behaviour that has been with us since the start (and before!) of civilization- people unite in what they have in common and discrimate against people that do things the opposite way- that is to say- We do things right and the other tribe over there do everything wrong! (we have always formed tribes, look at music subcultures ,oh and look here too! System wars needs to exist to contain all the people who would rather battle for supremecy than form a kleek; this is to do with alpha tendancies and dominant personalities of individuals). In order that you are accepted in society you have to conform to certain un-written social policies; to exist outside of these invisible barriers of acceptability is the decision of the individual and also a reflection of how much indeed they want to be accepted. My point is that we live in a free world, a world where the individual has the choice to do as much or as little of whatever pastime they see fit, adversely and in turn living in a free world constitutes the right to free speach also, giving the individual the right to say what he/she sees fit from that particular social standpoint. So if someone likes to eat whatever they want, doesnt care about exercise and cant be bothered to diet or regulate what they are putting into their body then that is their perogative, but to the next person it isnt seen as a good way to live a life due to their different views on life. People always try to put their views on others, if we didnt we wouldnt realise we ever had anything in common with people and on the other hand we would never realise or address our differences. Because the individual has the right to free speach they can say what they want to anyone, whenever they want and however they want, abuse is wrong I admit, but people should have the right to pass their opinion (hey GSer's!:)) even if this is upsetting for another individual. Society and culture are always demanding that we address our health with a more serious approach, as scientific advance is made the more we learn about our bodies and how to look after them, to ignore this information is , well, ignorant and (IMO) lazy to boot! In my opinion if you dont care, why should I care about you, what I say to you or how you feel. Society isnt demanding that anyone change, it would like them to but if they dont want to then fair enough, that is their decision, the thing is though once you make a decision or take a standpoint (even if laziness could be considered a standpoint!) then you have to stick by it and be proud of it- be proud of who you are! Otherwise when people criticise you for the way you are, you are too vulnerable, have no come back and are letting other peoples opinion or view of life taint yours, belittle you and make you feel bad! My opinion is this, if you are fat, either be proud of what you are and dont let others bring you down or do everything you can to get in better shape- your life will bge enriched and the problems you are getting from other people will disappear! Do not blame it on society- they arent asking anyone !! And in response to your comment on healthy food- healthy food doesnt have to be yucky- learn to cook! If you just want to fill yourself full of S**t then dont expect to be anything more than that, and also (even though this is a sad fact of life) if you want to be accepted, then conform.

The price of conforming is too high. Acceptance is way overrated. You seem to be the kind of person that follows the trend and wants to fit in with the crowd, so this will be almost as me speaking french and you speaking chinese. For you an individual can never be ahead of society, can never be above of it's unfairness and filth (discrimination), has to conform to "un-written social policies" and anyone who dares to think differently than us is ignorant and doesn't deserve our attention. For the sake of this post, let's say society is as you describe it. I would never change myself to get into a crowd in order to discriminate another crowd. What is the point of that??? If this were 1857, you would have written the exact same text about homosexuality. If this were 1398, you would have written the exact same text about people that weren't catholic. It's up to us (individuals) to try to be always ahead of our times, to be critic of society's mistakes and live our lives doing what reason tells us is right and fair, not what the crowd says. The again, I'm and individualist and you're not so this is almost like debating about whether God exists or not. Still, it's always nice arguing with you.

[QUOTE="Schwah"]

[QUOTE="jointed"]I don't like fat people because they contribute nothing to society and are discustingjointed

Let's see if we can name some contributing members of society who qualify as fat... President Taft, Peter Jackson, Luciano Pavarotti, Babe Ruth, Biggy Smalls, B.B. King, Winston Churchill, Benjamen Franklin, Orson Wells, and of course Ron Jeremy just to name a very few.

Oh, and I happen to find you disgusting, jointed, and would you look at that? I can even spell it correctly. It's time to crawl out of that shell my little friend. .

I know better than to respond to childish posts like these..--.but here we go

You obviously don't know what I mean when I say that fat people dont contribute to society...

Most "fat" people are not playing a major role in any work force on the globe but they are still using the countries social benefits that should have gone to peopel that need it more....

You try to offend me by pointing out my minor spelling error, but I frankly dont mind this since I can speak 3 other international languages fluently and I'll give up my english anyday if it meant keeping the other 3.

To be honest.....I dont care what you think about me...because after all......you're insignificant

Even if they didn't contribute nothing to society, they're still humans. And you say it like it affects you directly.
i dont make fun of them, i just hate them, because they waste my timekyleali11
How do they waste your time? I'd really like to hear your answer to that...

Everybody's gotta hate somebody.

Its true. Humans are warring, violent, animals, and now that "modern civilization" has kicked-in it is no longer acceptable to express our rage. Why do you think we get in fist fight over girls, or enjoy violent video games, watching boxing, violent movies? Those forms of medium help us express the violence that we can no longer express due to our civilization. Now that it is no longer acceptable to make fun of other races, mentally challenged, religious, or gay people we have to find some one else to make fun of and unfourtunitley it is fat people. Making fun of "someone" or "something" is a form of dominance and as humans we loooooove to be dominant, its in our biology and we can't help it. At some point in your life all of you will discriminate, or worse, inflict violence upon someone (even a sibling) over a situation, but deep down inside it will simply be because of your human biology.

Good post, see mine too, we have got a similar level of understanding:)

Yes, you make great points. All are very true, including healthy food being delicious.

I'm sorry tequilasunriser, but what you say, it can't be acceptable. We are more than animals, because of our intelligence. Maybe even I feel the urge sometimes to be savage (vindictive, abusive, etc), but I know it's wrong, and I don't do it anymore. Mainly because it doesn't feel right. I refuse to believe that we aren't in control of ourselves. The day I do, I might as well die...
If you stuff your face, don't exercise, sit around getting heavier and more pathetic, feel sorry for yourself, but don't do anything about it but expect others to respect you, you're laughable, a clown. There is no reason to respect or coddle people who lack common sense. You consume more calories than you use in a day, you're going to get fat. You don't want to be a pitiful slob and joke, then do something about it. I don't feel any more sympathy for obesity than I do for people who do anything to an excess, whether it's smoking, drinking, drugs, and then expect others to feel sorry for their inability to grow up and learn moderation and self-discipline. bt_the_great_78
Moderation and self-discipline is important to you, what if other people don't care about that, and choose to enjoy eating and hate exercise and tofu? Are you going to think less of them just because they don't share your values?
As much as I hate to say it, I honestly don't have any sympathy for people who have eaten their way into obesity. I mean, it is their fault after all. :|luke1889
It's not about feeling sorry, it's about accepting obesity as a life style, as valid as any other.
