I've known a few people that actually needed welfare in order to survive, and they share the opinion that the people who abuse it are useless. Without fail, if the person actually NEEDs the help, they barely get any.
I agree with what Cheeba was saying about fat people. i 3was pretty intolerant of fat kids when i was a kid, because almost all of them were whiny assholes. hopwever, i have since met plenty of people who had thoughtless, stupid parents that never taught them any better, and stuffed them with food in order to compensate for bad parenting. TV is the only substitute parent out there, food is used as a "love" substitue by many parents. Almost every fat person i have known was a fat kid growing up. People are what they are raised to be. If your parents never taught you to respect yourself and allowed you to be humiliated and abused, where is your sense of self-worth that would cause you to even try to lose weight?
MD, this kind o fthread is the same type of thing. Saying they should be taxed is like saying that child molestation victims should be taxed for having sexual disorders as adults, even though the root of the problem is something that cant be corrected. Have you ever been close to someone who was a fat child and had their self-esteem crushed at an early age? It's pretty painful to love someone who cant take a single compliment about their appearance because people basically destroyed any image they had of themselves before they even hit double digits.
Granted, there are plenty of people out there that had every opportunity, but chose to let themselves go. i personally gained 20 lbs in 6 mionths when i went from a woodworking job to a desk job. That was quite a blow, especially since i have always been thin. In my cazse, i desevrved any shit i got. i smoked, i drank execssivley, and i ate fast food for about 70% of my meals.
I cleaned my act up and am back down to a reasonable weight, but i knew what it was liek to be thin, and i have always had an overabundance of self-worth.
I 100% agree with BR in this whole thing: Leave people alone. Dont be a dick and go fucking with people, making fun of their differences because you want to. people who do that are usually more pathetic and low on self esteem themselves, leaving themselves open to attack by people like me who like to make assholes suffer.
People on this planet need to worry about their own shit and quit projecting their insecurities on others. All they end up doing is worring about how other people look/act, and are generally too lazy or arrogant to clean up their own MANY personal problems.
