i was at coldstone creamery the other day. its one of those places where u choose an ice cream, and they put it on the cold marble slab. then u pick a candy or nut and they mix it in witht he spoons and serve it to u

anway. i saw these 2 people and i wasl ike OMG. i told my bf 'to the left, motherfuckers that have absolutely NO business being here'

it was a father and daughter. combined weight im guessin at around 350-400 lbs. and the daughter mustve ben only 13.

my bf is a nurse, sees fat kids all the time.

anyway, i tolds him 'ya know.. if I worked here, id straight up give em a little bit less ice cream than everyone else. do em a favor'. and he got mad at me and said it was none of my business and i told him to STFU cuz i was JUst being nice. then he said i was 'discrimnating against fat people' and i was like 'what.. cuz i want them to live a bit longer?'

that and its not like id remove THATTTTT much choclate.. but come on, when ur that size even taking a tablespoon out of every meal will make one hell of a difference!!

So...What if someone at that ice-cream shop happened to notice your cracked teeth (which you mentioned before, at some point) and decided to give YOU a little less ice-cream because sugar is very bad for your teeth...Just to be kind and do you a favor?

If a person is overweight, and they decide to eat ice-cream (or lard, for that matter)...That's THEIR business not yours...

I don't believe that ANYONE should treat people any differently based on their appearance, whether it's 'for their own good' or not...

I assumed we were talking obese here - not overweight...
overweight is the norm .. we all eat more than we need and get less excercise than we need ..except serious atheletes and heath nuts.
as we get older its harder to loose the pounds - our mentabalisms slow down, our families prevent good fitness regimines... i'm guilty of all of those things.

but obesity ...

there is no excuse.. its plain and simple greed ... with the exception of mentally handicapped people who dont have the facilities to know whats good or bad for them.

at that point i dont look at them differently for their appearance - rather what mindset they have that allows them to become that way ..

I Agree with your post :)

I try to reserve judgement.
I could stand to lose a few pounds m'self, but, more for health rather than appearance issues...however, I don't really think the size I'm at it what you're referring to...I'd like to be a little fitter, but I'm happy with my size.

Regarding the OBESE...Well, in my experience, having been good friends with one guy that WAS fat to the point of poor health at about the age of 13...well, yeah, he had really poor eating habits, and his parents didn't give a fuck less, they practically endorsed it, very, very lazy people. Funny thing was, THEY weren't obese...but, I still blame them for it more than him, or, at least equally so.
Now, in MY opinion...most people that are obese, or are going to be, are well on their way during childhood. You can see it 90%+ of the time.
So, Why do people become obese?
*Parents being lazy or negligent of their responibilities to their child/ren
*Their own self control, or lack thereof.
*Poor education about healthy eating and nutrition.
*Low self esteem = weight gain = low self esteem which can go in cycles, sometimes insults, or things like this being the catalyst to perpetuate the process, if they're not already thinking "look at me, why bother trying?"...
*Availability of more junk than healthy food, at home, school...etc.
*Poor school funding resulting in REALLY bad quality, fat saturated foods being served to children.
*and...I suppose there's a FEW that have ACTUAL disorders?
*Lack of excersize
(Now, on their own...these things may not lead to one becoming obese, but I am sure many people have factors in their life that bring about combinations of this stuff)

When it comes to OBESITY, I think that aside from a few cases, of actual sickness (I dunno, glandular or metabolism issues), and on the other end of the scale, completely irresponsible self indulgence...it largely comes down to the parents, fitness/nutritional education and the food that is made available.
Poor diet, poor habits, not knowing better.
Now, if a person has lived in such a household all their life.., and these problems have not been corrected by the time the person leaves home, I would imagine the ongoing diet will be much of the same routine.
People are creatures of habit...it's fucked up but true.
This is why so many stupid assholes continue smoking on a regular basis, regardless of how much harm it does their health, or how many people around them it "repulses" - same deal, different "drug" of choice...sometimes it's hard, and from the outside observers perspective, certain things are much easier said than done.

For these reasons, and the fact that I know how difficult losing even a COUPLE 'o pounds during adulthood can be, I reserve judgement.
Sure, I might think they look terrible, they might even smell bad, but yknow...fuck it...they gotta live with it too.
I personally feel sorry for the majority of these REALLY big people, aside from how much what they do to themselves (intentionally or not) sickens me.
Yeah, I blame them, but I also blame alotta other things, and for good reason.

Tax obese people, sure...but only if you're gonna give extra taxations to smokers, car drivers, large corporations that pollute, makers of aerosols and appliances with cfcs..etc, all those and the many other things that take up more of "your" oxygen than an obese person, with a more than likely diminished lung capacity
ever would.
The thought is pretty ridiculous.

OK, I've had enough. I say we start taxing fat people, if you can't pay the tax we feed them to starving children in third world countries. No longer will I be late for something because I'm behind a fat person in the hall or get so much ass in my face at the theater.

We'd have fat tax brackets so that most morbidly obese people in america would probably be eaten. Think about it? What's more important? Feeding starving children or another morbidly obese person, stuffing their face completely oblivious to their rapidly approaching death?

Why not tax fat people for that many extra pounds? Unless they have some medical condition (not that many people actually do...) they are just greedy and unhealthy right? Shouldn't we try to help these people by taking their money? They'd only waste it at Mcdonalds anyway.

Also with the fatty tax, more people would get lyposuctions in order to save money. :p

We're putting the crunch on smokers, I say we do the same thing to fat people. They bump into you in bars and they get really disgustingly sweaty. I'd take smokers over them anyday, kick em out. I would like to see atleast a few "no fattys" bar just to get the message across.

So is this a great idea or what? With so many fat people (especially in america) it would be a great source of revenue.

I'll agree to an extent. It's not the fat people who should be taxed directly, it's indirect corporation tax, that should affect all those who choose to eat unhealthy take away food. Unhealthy fast food outlets should be controlled and taxed at a much higher rate, or have new 'Unhealthy' Taxes applied. Corporations making billions on the addictive nature of fast food, whilst creating an unhealthy nation, should be the ones who pay the initial burden. Then they can pass this cost, at their discretion, onto everyone that chooses to eat the unhealthy food, be it skinny or fat people.

In the end, skinnies and fatties will realise, the unhealthy option is not the tastiest option anymore.
