Fattest man in the world...is British?!?!

[Ace of Knaves]

Well yea exactly. There are people who need the help.

But thanks to those idiots in the European Union who don't really have **** all to do with Britain, it's harder for our Government to just say "No, **** you, you ain't getting a penny"

 

[katie_girl09]

Oh right. Only healthy taxpayers deserve to live. **** the blind, deaf, dumb, and fat. They don't pay taxes.

/hitler

You're only free to say those things because you don't know what it's like to live in a country where you pay heavy taxes on things like national health. It isn't fair that taxpayers should have to pay for someone who let themselves get this unhealthy. The blind, deaf, etc. Do not fall into this category at all.

Maybe when national health comes to the US some of you guys will realize why the rest of us stress about lazy guys like this.

 

[Paradoxium]

You've posted that before with a laugh at the end. What are you racist or something.

You need to lighten up dude - you are going to start losing hair if you keep blowing your fuse t:

Nationalized Healthcare needs some fixes, that's forsure.... but, would it be a bad thing if

to qualify you have to be one of these

1) Under the age of 18
2) In school full time
3) Working either full time, or over 25 hours a week
4) Disabled
5) Unemployed (you get 18 months of healthcare before it stops, but when you employed you pay extra taxes to make up for the time you had healthcare)
6) Your retired
7) Military

This thread makes me sad. You take a hilarious thing like a man who's near 1000lbs and not american and turn it into some sort of political debate. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

I have British friends who constantly act like America is home of nothing but fat McDonald's eaters, so this story is going to put some nice egg on their faces.

At the moment I ain't got no hair, shaved it off

Welcome to the bald man club Ace. Expect to get more chicks on a daily basis.

 

[chamber-music]

ship off too some third world country and give him their diet for a year.

Welcome to the bald man club Ace. Expect to get more chicks on a daily basis.

Not completely bald. Number 3 all over. I do it randomly sometimes when my hair gets too long and can't be arsed to go to the barbers.

ship off too some third world country and give him their diet for a year.

That is a good idea. In fact, you could feed him to all those starving children! It'd take a year to get through him

 

[Two-Face]

Wouldn't work.... ;

"The most important aspect of transporting him is preserving his dignity"

This is my favorite part of the story, does he really have any dignity to preserve? He weighs almost half a ton!

Yeah, that made me laugh quite a bit.

He needs to diet. like bad. If I started to get even a little fat I'd start doing something about it. How can you almost weigh a ton? Theirs more to life than the couch/chair.

 

[chamber-music]

The guy did lose some weight before apperantly but he put it back on.

 

[Lantern Venom]

So, are you saying I'm crazy because fat greedy people shouldn't get free operations at the taxpayers expense?

Yeah, you are crazy. Sure, this guy is likely to blame for his condition but follow your line of thinking....if someone comes into the hospital with a life-threatening condition because they were a rock climber, bungee (sp?) jumper, running with the bulls, etc...and, by your logic, they should be refused treatment. If you set the standard "Your lifestyle should resign you to die on your own", that could be used in a plethora of ways. Not good.

 

[Sentinel X]

70 stone....?

COT DAYUM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those life-threatening things are most likely accidents. This man saw himself getting fatter and fatter every day and still kept on doing what he was doing. I don't see how this is the same.

It is NOTHING like those things.

They would be caused by accidents. Plus those people are healthy enough to work, thusly, pay taxes. This guy doesn't contribute to the country AT ALL.

Not years upon years upon years upon years upon years upon years of sheer, utter gluttony and laziness.

There is people out there with real problems who have to wait for medical service, sometimes not getting any atall.

But this fat ****er gets one? No, that ain't gonna fly.

yeah, it was called "taking a dump"....

 

[chamber-music]

I’ve rarely met anyone as overwhelmingly unhappy as Britain’s fattest man, 70-stone Paul Mason.

His house in Ipswich was filled with a bleak feeling of sadness and despair when I interviewed him in 2006.

Then, at 47-stone, he still clung to the belief that he could lose at least some of the bulk that kept him confined to his specially-made bed.
But even then – at only around two thirds of his current weight – he knew that his over-eating had irreversibly destroyed his body and he would never be able to walk unaided again, or live anything approaching a normal life.

He told me that he was trying to find love using the internet, but confessed that women, like society, shunned him because of his size.
He spoke honestly and candidly about the awfulness of his day to day life, crying as he explained that he was unable to wash himself and relied on his mother to bring him his regular takeout meals.

Heartbreakingly he was actively encouraging people to feel disgusted by his lifestyle in a courageous attempt to force young people, who he cared passionately about, to reassess their unhealthy habits as a result of his cautionary tale.

I’m in no doubt that Paul would have loved to lose the weight, but each time he tried it caused him even more unhappiness when it eventually, and almost inevitably, failed.

So instead he turned to food, both his best and worst friend, for comfort, and the vicious cycle continued.

[Ace of Knaves]

It's good that he is saying to youngsters to not be like him. (asif he needed to)

But I still don't really feel sympathy for him. I mean, how can you actually let yourself get to 47 stone in the first place? It just boggles the mind. How is it possible?

 

[chamber-music]

I guess some people might have a food addiction like some people have alcohol or drug addictions but personally I don't know how they can eat and eat and not be sick.

I just keep envisioning if I had x-ray vision... what their skeleton looks like in that mold of a outerbody....

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Exactly.

I love my food, but I know when to stop, and my body knows when to stop me. I could eat and eat and eat if I wanted to, but my body just won't allow it.

And I mean, even if you get to 20 stone you gotta be thinking "Right, I think I better cut down and lose some weight"

But 47 stoned! Then 70 stone! Dayyum.
