Should fat people have to pay double?

[flipx]

Yeahh... Then you said.. 'people who are obese can't and don't really have any form of exercise, let alone a job, or career'

Where is the 'most' in that? You are generalising.

You're taking a group of people (overweight/obese) and saying that 'most' are all fat losers who are unemployed and 'don't do shit' without providing any evidence for such claim, means you are just making wild generalisations... Do you personally know all of the obese people on this planet and can say that most of them are lazy and unemployed?.. Didn't think so.

Can you point to empirical evidence that backs up your claim?... Didn't think so either.

So yes, you are making generalisations.

Yes, that was said after, and in relation to the 'most' part. :willy_nilly:You just sound like you're nitpicking now.

I've read, and watched plenty of documentaries regarding obese people, none of the people included in them worked. They physically couldn't get up, and go to work because of their size, and weight. Where is your proof, and evidence that these obese people do go out to work?

Also, when did I mention 'fat losers' anywhere? I didn't, you did. That's obviously your opinion of them, not mine. I can see some form of hypocrisy showing. lol. Just to be clear as well, if it wasn't already... I stated "most", I haven't mentioned any statistics, it's yourself that has. It's you that is making a case out of this, not I.

You're a moron.

Wow, you watch documentaries which involve a small proportion of 'obese' people and you think you're qualified to make the statement that the majority is somehow like that?

Are you talking about the 'Jerry Springer' class of obese or something? Obese is classified as someone having a BMI of 30 or higher... I think you may need to rethink about what you think the majority of obese people look like... if you think of 'all' or 'most' obese people as people who 'can't physically get up'... you'd be very wrong.

Haha, who is nitpicking now?

Obviously, when you make this kind of statement about obese' Food is their comfort, and that's all they do. They don't work, they seek disability benefits from your tax payers money, and laze around all day, every day, eating shit'.. I get the assumption that you might think that they are 'losers'... so it doesn't take a genius to condense all the prejudiced garbage you have been writing throughout this thread into a couple of words, which I think rightly sum up your statements.

I think I'm qualified to make a statement? LOL! Mate, take a step back and look at what you're saying. I'm giving my opinion on the fat arsed lazy cunts that do nothing to help themselves, they exist, I've seen plenty of them. As for the people that are overweight, but try their best to tackle it, and get out there and work hard etc. I have the out most respect for them, and know plenty of these kinds of people.
Maybe I'm more talking about the 'super-morbid obese' people, but that's the kind of people I think about when they can't fit into one seat. You have to be a pretty fucking big size to not fit into a single seat.
As for Jerry Springer, I don't watch that shit, plus that's an American show, we have the likes of Jeremy Kyle here.

Maybe this thread should be merged with the "Right to Food" thread.

So if I get on the bus and I can't get a seat because all of the seats are taken by skinny people does that mean I get to ride the bus for free?

Everyday when I ride to and from work every seat is packed and it's standing room only until there's no more room and the bus driver turns away people. Do you suggest that we kick off all the fat people so we can pack more skinny people on?

 

[sophie]

If only closed minds came with closed mouths....

 

[Codrus]

Fat people should get to fly for free..........so in the event of a crash we can eat them

 

[LetsAllConform]

Fat people should get to fly for free..........so in the event of a crash we can eat them

Lol....at that image of course

 

[sophie]

Not cool. The same argument could be made for small minded people.

 

[pinkporridge]

*puts down cookie and picks up apple*

 

[Codrus]

Not cool. The same argument could be made for small minded people.

no, not really. peoples minds are basically the same size, its the ability to use it that varies

your response makes me think that you either think your fat or you are, and you being a female concerned about her weight would make you a stereo-type.
did i strike a nerve?.......that was not my intention..........but if i did...........do i get bonus points or something? and if it did would that make you a small minded person for letting a simple formulation of words that were meant to be humorous get the better of you??

not trying to piss anyone off, i'm just asking

 

[sophie]

Not at all. You were valuing the lives of fat people as being less worthy than people who aren't overweight. I was making the counter argument that the lives of people who judge others based on appearance are similarly less worthy than people whose minds are open. Just because YOU define fat people as worth less doesn't mean that everyone does! Overweight individuals are just as worthy of living as those who don't struggle with their weight.

Also, if you truly think that when I referred to people as small minded that I was referring to the size of the craniums, then you really ought not participate in debates which are clearly reaching and indeed surpassing your intellectual prowess from word one.

And no, I am not overweight, but thanks for trying there. Would it matter if I was? Would I be less worthy in your mind?

 

[Codrus]

Not at all. You were valuing the lives of fat people as being less worthy than people who aren't overweight....no i wasnt, if anything i implied that they were more valuable......... I was making the counter argument that the lives of people who judge others based on appearance are similarly less worthy than people whose minds are open. ...no ....you werent....Just because YOU define fat people as worth less doesn't mean that everyone does!.......see, your putting words in my mouth again (i wish you would stop)Overweight individuals are just as worthy of living as those who don't struggle with their weight.....i never said that they werent, they coould just feed alot more people who were stranded on a mountain after a plane wreck than somone who was 175 lbs.

Also, if you truly think that when I referred to people as small minded that I was referring to the size of the craniums, then you really ought not participate in debates which are clearly reaching and indeed surpassing your intellectual prowess from word one........oh the pain.......ok i found a microscopic band-aid for that dig,........unforntunetly your brain was using it as a very large pillow so i accidently droped it............but i think i saw the dust mites using it for a soccer ball........if your quick you could......................sorry, nevermind . anyway ...........this was a debate?

And no, I am not overweight, but thanks for trying there. Would it matter if I was? Would I be less worthy in your mind?

again with this worth thing.
it was a joke that you took way to seriously..............pull your underwear out of your ass, your head band is cutting off the blood to your brain

 

[skyblue]

can anyone tell me whats actually classed as overweight in this circumstance and whos going to decide who pays more?

 

[sophie]

Hmm...well given that it is in the debate section and people HAD been debating about it, yes I figured it was a debate. My bad?

I think I am just going to step away from an argument with a person who can't even spell a three letter word correctly. The word is "too" when you're quantifying. "To" is directional. Come back and talk to me when you have a basic understanding of English.

 

[Codrus]

you are absolutely right.....what was i thinking (obviously i wasnt), i should never never try and put humor into a serious intel..(i cant spell that either) smart conversation.who was i to think that i could even come close to making someone with your mental superiority laugh, i should just go back to having pies thrown in my face and enjoying life so i dont take everything so seriously and have to be put in my place by those who must use there enormous brains to ponder such important issues becuase all of the problems of the world are hanging over them like a childs mobile which keeps them locked in constant serious thought and pontification with there mouths hanging open like the village idiot

i salute you

 

[sophie]

Well...you're actually looking to use "their", not "there"...but yeah.

Humour only works when what you're saying is funny and not rude and/or insulting to large numbers of people.

 

[Codrus]

you can pick apart my gramatical errors all day, it bothers me not, im not anal like some

and again your absolutely right, stupid redneck humor didnt do anything for jeff foxworthy, eddie murphys stand up was ruined for talking about black people and george carlin was never ever funny at all neither was sam kinison, andrew dice clay, martin lawrence etc.
life was meant to be serious, we shouldnt waste the time or money on people who make fun of other peope and who are rude and offensive, we should outlaw humor all together and execute the current comedians.

 

[sophie]

The difference is, those men were actually funny.
