When did it become the "in" thing to HATE period? This is disgusting!!!!
I can't believe this thread is still alive. I am not fat nor am I skinny. But the HATE on this thread keeps me coming back. Do you people not see how WRONG it is to single out groups to HATE???
This is the plan...divide and conquer. And sadly it's working well.

Telling someone "you can have control over your weight issue if you want to" is not hate. Personally, I don't give a darn if someone chooses to be fat. What I speak up about is when they start blaming society and me for their weight issues.
You talk about anger and hate from ME, yet you've had the most hateful posts, on this whole thread! You're the one hurling ridiculous accusations, and bashing obese people, like crazy. Now you want to find any flimsy excuse, to bash me. That's indicative of your childish need, to put people down, for any reason! I feel sorry for you, because your arrogance will trip you up, one of these days. You're gonna reap
some bad Karma, because of your hateful attitude, towards the obese.
And it just so happens, that people can be victims of many things. Life teaches you that. At least if you're mature enough, to learn that lesson. Yes, people should take responsibility for eating well, and exercising. Doesn't guarantee, that they'll be slim and trim. You can drive carefully, and still be the victim of an accident. You can be a great employee, and still get laid off. You can be streetwise, and still get mugged. You can not smoke, but still get lung cancer. You can be careful of your surroundings, and still get raped. I could go on and on, but I won't. I just hope, that those of you who are on this blame-the-victim trip, get my point. Meaning that ANYBODY can be a victim, including YOU.
Again the anger and emotion comes through. I present you with facts and you respond with emotion.
While what you say about caution not being a guarantee may be true it does increase your chances substantially.
Are you more likely to get into an accident driving 110mph or 55?
Are you more likely to be mugged if your walking around with no street lights with your headphones on or if your paying attention in a well lit area?
Are you more likely to be thin if you eat less than 5k calories and go to the gym everyday or if you sit on your dumper and pound chimichangas all day?
Realism, hurts apparently. Almost all obese people are that way because of overeating and lack of exersize. Face it. No matter what BS excuse they give you they are fat because it's their fault. Get over it. Many obese people smell because of their weight.
And please spare me with the Karma BS, you don't know me or what I do or anything else about my "karmic" state.

It's obvious that there's just no reasoning with you. You're one of these people, who thinks that ALL people, have TOTAL control, over EVERY aspect of their lives. As I've said before, that's an incredibly naive notion. But then, you'd rather try to prove that you have a legit reason, to hate all fat people. The fact is, you're too cowardly, to admit that you hate the obese, because of your own prejudiced mentality.
I don't know you. And because you're so nasty and hateful towards fat people, I'm overjoyed that that I don't you! As for your Karma, hateful people do reap what they sow, whether you believe it or not. And you've shown more irrational, vitriolic hate towards the obese, than just about anyone else on this thread!
I think that Isitmeorarethingsnuts?, is right about the repugnant hate-fest, on this thread. It's incredibly vile, and I think that the moderator, ought to just shut it down. The conversations always come back, to those who try to justify their hatred for a group of people (the obese). As for me, I've had my fill, of trying to reason with many of you viscious, hateful posters on this thread. So I'm bowing out!
It is not always the case that those overweight stuff their faces with all kinds of fattening foods at all. In my daughters case 6 years ago, she is 5"8 for her started putting on weight that she had never done before, but it started coming on, she does not eat a lot, or stuff herself with fattening foods, so i knew and so did she that something was drastically wrong. But unless you get a check up, how would someone know. She did and it came back that in her case, she had a very serious thyroid condition with some other things along with that. She ended up having to have Radiation and Radiation iodine treatments, to shrink her thyroid. They put her on thryoid medication, and Wham she started losing weight so very fast, before we knew it she was back down to her gorgeous slim figure that she always had. Their are reasons sometimes other then the obvious, that people become obese. Wrong food choices, makes me mad, because each of us knows what foods we should be eating, does not take a rocket scientist for that. What i am not for is Obese Parents who stuff their children or babies, with the most fattening foods, i see this happening over and over again, i sometimes want to take the food right out of the kids mouth, but not my call. The worse thing about being obese, is health issues, it is just not good to have all of that extra weight on you.
Some don't fair too well with a thyroid condition. Your daughter is lucky to lose the weight. I have seen thin people stuff their faces with junk food and get diabetes.
I also know some fat people who eat right and don't have high blood pressure or diabetes. They are healthy and have the fat gene. They get alot of miles per gallon from their food.
I believe there is a fat gene and a skinny gene. And thin people aren't necessarily healthier.
It could be that nature has a fat gene in case of famine to keep the survival of mankind on the earth. Who can judge this really? Only our maker can judge.

Ok so it seems that hypothyroidism affects 1.5 percent of the population. WHAT IS EVERYONE ELSES EXCUSE? Really, that's all I want. And it's the hardest thing for obese people and their advocates to acknowledge. They eat too much and work out too little. And like I said already the negativeness that you witness is the backlash from normal people having to hear these people moan about their problems when they are caused by their own actions. Or are affected by these people in a negative way.
And furthermore I reserve the right to dislike whomever I choose for whatever reason I choose. People seem to forget that, I DO NOT have to accept you or your group. I feel that I have legit reasons to dislike the obese and I have my reasons, they seem to be pretty popular and common judging by the responses on this forum. When I don't have to be put out by the obese, comfort-wise, financially or professionally then I most likely my distaste for the heavy will evaporate, until then they grate on me like sand in my bathingsuit. Oh and I'm so glad I could make your day.

assumption of hate a huge leap
