It's a small, small world, and you're too fat for it

Re-read your own posts in this very thread for examples.

Sorry, you fail

He says he has an aversion to fat people, what does that mean to you?

I can't speak for him, but when I read that it seems that he wants to avoid people with unhealthy lifestyles. It doesn't mean that he said obese people should be denied interaction with others. In fact, he wasn't even talking about obesity specifically in that post, he was comparing it to crack addiction and how people avoid crack addicts.

Yeah, when I see some fat guy chowing down on half the friggin buffet, or have trouble sharing a standard isle with someone because they are so fat...I get sick to my stomach. Just like I'd hope you would feel sick to your stomach if you saw someone selling their car to pay for their crack addicition.

No. You're the one who needs to seek help, not the other way around. Batman is not going to swoop down through someone's window and save their life, not in this world. Just like Black Lantern said, when he was fat he busted his a$$ to get skinny. I'm sure once people saw him putting forth an effort to try to curb his problem, they were willing to offer a helping a hand...but, as the old saying goes "you can't help those who don't help themselves".

Averting fat people is what you said, making crude jokes and ridiculing fat people is what you did on this thread, not going out of your way to help somebody is one thing, and I don't expect that of anybody, but to pass judgment like you all are doing and being cruel is just silly.

That's hilarious.

Almost as hilarious as the time at a baseball game, I saw this woman so fat she was spilling over into the seats on either side of her. Ugh.

In your post about hating to see fat people eat bad foods, and how it makes you physically sick, in a thread with people ripping into fat people, maybe that was the only sincere post. My bad if I read it wrong.

I really do think that you're misinterpreting me....I even made sure to specify that it bothers me when anyone eats like that. When it's fat people however, it really does make me thoroughly disappointed that they've let themselves go and continue to promote their unhealthiness to such extremes. I can see if people have "cheat days," but when I see someone eating like that EVERY DAY, MULTIPLE TIMES a day, it really is sickening.

 

[BlackLantern]

let me cite another example....I went to SDCC this year, and it was crowded as hell....I was in the midst of the crowd going through one of the doors to the exhibition floor....the person in front of me was extremely large about (6'6 about 290 maybe 300)...he stops dead in the doorway so people cant traverse in or out.....he stands there for a minute or so, and the security asks him to keep moving so people can start moving in and out and he got an attitude....."I'lll stand where I want..." unaware that there was a line of people in back of him....

Exactly the words I would expect from you.

Averting fat people is what you said

That's right I have an aversion to unhealthy lifestyles. I don't go to McDonalds or Shonny's. I don't make a point to date or hang around a crowd who engages in eating unhealthy foods on a regular basis. Most of my friends exercise, eat right and/or go to my gym.

In fact, the flip side of that sounds remarkably similar to how fat people live. I don't see a lot of fat people, or rather those not trying to be healthy, in gyms. I don't see a lot of fat people going to the healthy food stores and restaurants I frequent. And I certainly don't see fat people at any bodybuilding shows, running tracks or pick-up games we play.

making crude jokes and ridiculing fat people is what you did on this thread

Very outlandish comments you seem to be taking a bit too seriously if you ask me, considering most were very sarcastic.

not going out of your way to help somebody is one thing, and I don't expect that of anybody, but to pass judgment like you all are doing and being cruel is just silly.

I am judgement, but it's a fairly accurate judgement. You said it yourself "Yes, it's that simple, eat too much, don't exercise, get fat". There isn't much guesswork in figuring out someone's lifestyle from their relative shape and size.

In was a previous post he said he has an aversion to fat people, or as you put it, 'avoid' people with unhealthy lifestyles. What does that mean, because you don't approve of their lifestyles, you will not be their friends or acquaintances? Afraid of catching a bit of the 'obese' by being around them? Afraid of getting food on them when a fatty sits down at a trough to slobber down ten hamburgers? Do they smell worse than other people? Are they of a criminal element? Afraid their bad habits will rub off on you?

Really, what is to be averted in fat people, I am seriously asking anybody.

 

[BlackLantern]

Prime...it sounds like you want everyone to be accepting of people who are obese/overweight and that we should take time out of our lives to assist those same people....2 of my closest friends are in the gym constantly....one of which is an assistant head coach of a college team here in CT.....so she has to set an example for her team...and my other friend is in sales, and appearance is very important in that world...I'm not a big fan of the gym....more of a runner, myself....

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

an off topic question what would you class as obese, according to the scale at my gym i'm obese though according to my doctor my the right weight for my size and age.

i'm 6'0, weigh about 13 stone(182lbs) wear a size large shirt and most of my trousers/jeans are a size 32 waist.

according to my gym for my build i should be no bigger than 10 & 1/2 stone (147lbs) i havn't been that weight from i was 15, i'm 25.

i do agree that too many people in this world are obese, but there are lot o fpeople who are being classed in that category when they arnt

The healthier the food, the more expensive it is. And the worse the food is for you, the cheaper it is. Conspiracy? I think so.

That's bullsh1t. If you know what to eat and are willing to put a little effort into preparing your own meals, whole and nutritious foods are priced the same or cheaper than the garbage most people buy and put in their bodies. The major differing factor is that most of what people eat is pre-prepared or requires little effort to make it ready for consumption. Mass production and cheap ingredients plus lots of chemicals and preservatives enable companies to do it cheaply but you are paying for that convenience no matter what you might think. Most people aren't willing to take the time to do some smart shopping, learn what to eat and how to prepare it and then take the time to do so. That's why they're so malnourished or bloated up on absolute crap that has no nutritional value and a host of associated negative side-effects.

No one said this. But I would say it would mean I'm a lot less likely to have friends who are fat than not.

Afraid of catching a bit of the 'obese' by being around them? Afraid of getting food on them when a fatty sits down at a trough to slobber down ten hamburgers? Do they smell worse than other people? Are they of a criminal element? Afraid their bad habits will rub off on you?

That one. You are who you hang around with. If you don't want to develop a drug habit I would suggest not hanging around a crowd who does drugs. If you don't want to believe in Christianity, I wouldn't suggest selecting your friends from your local church. Would you?

Damn fatties ruin it for everyone.

We just want to be loved. :heart:

speaking for myself, its not an aversion issue....there are simply no fat people in my social circle...

You honestly any of those were remotely serious . You fail again

Need help. Refer to this post:

Nah, just don't be a jerk to them or about them, don't 'avert' people because they are fat, don't make snap judgments that because people are fat they are lazy and unworthy of anybodys respect.

prime...thats called sarcasm...Shadow is known for it....

I'll avert or avoid whoever I choose....I'm sure the bigger people of the world have their own friends and they make fun of the rest of us.....

Those two examples are really a stretch, especially the drug one. With drugs there is a criminal element, many drugs are hyper addictive and the results from drug use can oftentimes be voilent, all of which are risks to your person.

There is nothing a fat person does that is even close to that risk, are you really afraid that being near a fat person you'd succumb to overeating? Is that your view of fat people, that all their life revolves around eating, there is nothing more about them to befriend or find worthy? Seriously, your first comment is unsettling.

Oh yeah, fatty on skinny ridicule is outrageous, I see it everywhere, on the streets, in the forums, at work . .

Why is that? Is it willful or just no fat people around that are interesting enough to know?
