Clearly, this woman does not value her own life so why should the state. Let the cow pass her last few months in some barn somewhere instead and use the money to help fund public schools.

if being fat is a disease or genetic then why does it seem that America has the worst problem with it?

No, this is Captain Obvious using the oldest trick in the racist's book - find the worst example of someone from a sub-group, and then generalize that person's traits to everyone in the sub-group.

I won't bother to say more on the topic, because Captain Obvious is digging up the same old crap all over again. I'm having trouble figuring out why he's bringing it up here again. After all, he came out of the last debate looking so shallow you could see Newton's Rings forming.

Yeah, yeah, I am shallow but obesity related health problems cost the nation a fortune in subsidized care and treatment. Everyone bitches about smokers and what not but those people cost us a fraction of what fat people do. Not to mention it kills more people.

I think you and I have beat the topic to death about what people think is acceptable as their own personal body image. So no Griff, you aren't fat just a "healthy weight" But until I can check off a box on my tax return that lets me opt out of paying for fat people's health problems then I can complain all I want. I don't see why you protest it. It comes up far less than anti-Bush or anti-gay topics. If you don't want to read it just pass on it.

Thanks, but I was responding to a personal attack which I did not directly provoke by directing any comment at a particular person. Unless of course Fad is the son of the whale. So I think my going into that person''s pictures they chose to post on the web is fair game.
So when I choose to air my personal life out there for a world to see then I will be more than willing to take what is given out.

Yeah, I never did give up my measurements to you last time, did I? Heh, so like the shallow prick you are, you assumed that I was attacking you because I was overweight.

Wonder if I should break it to you? Nah, you wouldn't believe me if I gave you numbers, and I don't have any way of putting a photo online. I have no way that isn't too much of a hassle to make destroying the delusions of a fool worth my while, that is.

You'll just have to remain shallow and ignorant because I can't do anything about the former, and it isn't worth my effort to correct the latter.

Hey I don't care what you look like. In fact I take all that huffing and puffing about me as defensiveness because you know I am right. My point about how the obese are using up limited public resources instead of taking a personal responsibility in their health stands.

All these personal attacks just take away from the points the two articles make. That more money is being diverted away from other needs to address the problems of a group of people who need to be more proactive about their problems. When the money that is used to help prevent childhood diabetes is all used up because its going to help pay for extra large bus seats I am sure the world will be a better place.
22 people to help some fat POS to the dentist? That is a good use of tax funds.

I don't really give a damn about how fat a person is. If you're happy with your weight and its not going to adversely affect your life (or don't care) then fine by me. But if you complain one bit then I'll call you what you are: A lazy fat slob who doesn't have the brains to stop digging the hole you're already in.

I am a very thin person. So much so I have to eat like a horse just to maintain weight. And people say genetics is always working against us

Those cows won't know what hit 'em. They won't know what hit them even after it hits them, because they're cows.

No, they dont you idiot. Do you even know anything about the health care programs? Of course not, you are some 15 year old dork who complains when there is a scratch in his new dual G4 computer him mom paid for and Apple won't replace it. My God your parents need to pay more attention to your schooling.
Money is not allocated equally into programs like the one you described. In fact if you were even capable of doing advanced math you'd see the shear disproportion of over weight people in the country would mean that their health problems would out number any other demographic because of the number of potential cases. Seriously joe, shut up. I know you are just a kid but really you are one of the most sheltered people on the forum. You have zero perspective about anything because you have been stuck in your room for most of your life. Go out more, maybe talk to girls and wait out your life until your parents kick you out of the house. What a goddam tool you are.

He comes out swinging, then complains when he gets a whooping. Hah, classic case of someone pulling the bully act because he's a wuss. Mental featherweights need not apply to Fight Club.

You do raise some valid health concerns, but you quickly bury them underneath your shallow dehumanizing of real people. They say that the best place to hide a lie is between two truths. You try really really hard to pull off that act, but you just can't stop your mouth from spewing garbage, and you end up couching truths between some of the foulest lies a human can spew.

Do we, as a society, need to start encouraging people to live healthier lifestyles? You bet your shallow @ss. Insurance rebates, tax incentives, you name it. Spewing forth the hate that you do is not the way to do it, though, and is actually counter productive to the goal. Perhaps you figure that hating yourself was enough to keep yourself skinny, why won't it work for others? Well, Shallow Boy, different people respond to stimulus in different ways. Some people have eating disorders that stem from depression. And guess what calling them worthless wastes of flesh does? Yep, drives them deeper in to depression, and thus also to seek comfort in food. Then there are the people you just piss off, effectively shutting down dialog. So, even if you're too thick to realize how wrong it is to call someone worthless, you should realize that doing so is counter-productive.

Now, while there is a legitimate cause here, you have to be the worst spokesman for it ever, and I'm calling you on it. Do yourself, and your cause, a favor and shut that noxious piehole of yours until you learn how to control its emissions better.

Yeah, some people are a little thick.

Mentally, that is.


This thread is going nowhere and I hope it gets shut down. Yet someone else is spewing a vomitous of hate.

NO ONE is perfect. Sure, the lady should be on a diet and I also think her lawsuit is grossly pathetic (stress the word "grossly" please), but we're also maintaining millions of other people in this country with health problems of various types...which we are also funding with taxpayer monies. Including AIDS from unsafe sex and doing drugs illegally and intravenously, pregnancies that occur due to unsafe sex, and the list goes on and on. Think about how much money teenaged pregnancies cost this country every year?

There are a lot of problems -- including everyone in this thread degenerating to calling each other names.

Know what? I don't want my money going into keeping people like you alive.

Whether you're 100% healthy or not... I'm choosing to discriminate against your personality. People like you who get into car accidents, injure themselves through sport, or any of a million other ways cost infinitely more than obese people may.

I wish I could opt out of keeping assholes alive via my tax money.

Captain Obvious, I may be missing something because I haven't been here long, but I can't see why you find it necessary to insult others. Do you have a problem, and you feel better when you insult others? I personally think that this lady has severe problems, because she is unwilling to do anything for herself. Firefighters worked for 2.5 hrs to get her out of the door. Would a better solution not be to go on a diet, and find a way to exercise? She feels that it is necessary to file a complaint because it takes time to redo an apartment to accommodate her at their expense? I have no problem with obese people in general, but in this particular case she is thinking only of herself. She should have taken better care of herself when she could move. I can not believe that this is even true. Some people just take advantage of others too much.

Why attack people because they have a different view? Make you feel taller?

Sorry, sig stays, and if you think it means I'm some kind of Christian, you're seriously under-educated. Further, I don't have time to help you explore your doubts, you have to resolve those on your own.

Everyone here ranting and raving is falling into Captain Obvious's trap of (once again) causing a total meltdown on the boards.

Seriously, it's not worth it.

Maybe he gets his kicks out of seeing how much people will debase themselves by ridiculing and hating not only the less fortunate, but each other?

Seriously, think about it.

It's like getting "Punk'd" on the boards -- all of you.

Don't give him the satisfaction of watching all of you fall into a pile and beat the hell out of each other.

Incidentally, if you think about it, REALLY think about it, her life must be a living hell. She's obviously mentally ill -- which caused the weight gain or as the result of the weight gain -- and her life must be a real hell. Trapped in your own body that way? Can you imagine how hopeless you'd be? You'd be damned hopeless.

The woman needs an intervention of some kind. She needs the stomach stapling surgery to begin with. She needs Richard Simmons. She needs some compassion.

Someday, every single one of us is going to be faced with a life threatening illness, a terminal illness, or even death. How would you like to be dying and have people hating you and ridiculing you as you were dying?

You're all just like the people who watched Kitty Genovese get murdered...and no one lifted a finger to help or even to call the police. Why? Because they all thought someone else was doing it. They'd rather just watch and do nothing. And the sickest of them all were the people who said she deserved to die, murdered right in front of their eyes, because "she must have brought it on herself." Yep, some of you lowlifes are exactly the same. Captain Obvious, that most especially includes you. You need mental help. SERIOUS mental help.

All of this hate-mongering and mud slinging coming from a guy who is so weak and cowardly that he won't even use his real name.

Yep, that's the way most cowards behave: Nameless bullies.

Oh, so you meant it as a joke, and you feel nothing but goodwill and respect for people who have religious beliefs? That chic[k]en and other Christians on this forum are fully aware of this being nothing but playful comraderie.

Well, in that case, you have my deepest, heart-felt apologies.

Yep, some of you lowlifes are exactly the same. Captain Obvious, that most especially includes you. You need mental help. SERIOUS mental help.

All of this hate-mongering and mud slinging coming from a guy who is so weak and cowardly that he won't even use his real name.

Yep, that's the way most cowards behave: Nameless bullies.
I'm sick of you and your self righteousness.

I don't know if you were targetting me with that comment (I can't see why you would have), but I don't care. If you're such an amazing friggin' person, you go help her.

If we're all such bloody horrible people, what the hell are you doing here? Oh, and how dare you compare us to the Genovese onlookers? You do not know any of us; you haven't a clue what we're like in reality.

Again, I get the feeling you're really only targetting Captain Obvious with that post, but it had to be said... and if so, your wording leaves much to be desired.

All I know is that people in the rest of the world equate America as a nation of fat people.

As a result I try to stay as thin as possible so as to not give people ammunition....

I couldn't be bothered to read this whole sordid thread, but I do get annoyed by fat people who are just fat because they can't be bothered to get their fat lazy ass off the couch and stop eating. There are people who are naturally bigger due to genetics etc, but even they are not naturally obese. That just comes from being greedy and lazy, two unattractive habits.

i think Captain Obvious & iWrite should get married. then go and live somewhere with no internet access. and they all lived happily ever after.

peopel who claim overweight is caused by anything other than eating are lying. it has to come from somewhere.

i had a manager once who claimed it was some stupid gland that caused him to be a sweating blimp, he told that lie to anyone, even when they were talking about some other real deseases they were suffering from themselves. I have seen that man eating 4 (FOUR) Mars candybars within 2 hours. and he drank fruitflavoured energy-water, gallons of it. Yeah..
