Compliments or light-hearted comments are fine.

781309 2009-06-11 06:54:00 I hate the PC movement. But I do agree that we should not call crippled people names (like we used to way back) but it has gone to far.

I personally think that fat people are disgusting, (have you ever noticed that their skin goes all blotchy) and when they get obese it is my problem as we have to pay for them not to work cos they can't and we have to pay their huge medical bills.

I saw a program on tv the other day where hospital in the UK are having to buy bigger beds and bigger operating tables just to accommodate fat people. I would say to those people them - when you can fit in the bed or on the table you can come in. Same deal on airlines !

I also don't like paying for drinkers and smokers medical bills either. I drink, but only once a month or so.

I have had a small pot belly for years and over the last year I have been eating much less and it has nearly gone. So it can be done, its just means eating Cruskets and Marmite and not Macdonalds and chocolate. I have lost 15kg.

(Sorry PCtek)

781310 2009-06-11 07:16:00 I put fat people in the same classification as smokers and alcoholics
Its their free choice, probably because they dont have enough will or wont power like normal people. Buts its my right and free choice to detest them.

781311 2009-06-11 07:43:00 We were told that "Inside every fat person is a thin person trying to get out."

Sometimes there are two or three of 'em in there.

781312 2009-06-11 08:01:00 Im a smoker and alot of people comment on it when im out and about, it doesnt make me feel bad, i made that initial decision to smoke, so there is no one to blame but me (wel there is the guys i was working with who were all smokers which brought on cravings after a few months living in their second hand smoke)

Fat people are the same, some people are solidly built and thats fine, others have medical reasons which is also understandable, MAJORITY just eat too much, thats their choice.

So why do we have to tip toe around the matter?

781313 2009-06-11 12:54:00 Depends when it is used in the sentence.

You can tell someone about what they are doing or should not be doing, then how it will affect them/us.

Bad - You are fat because you eat too many pies.
OK - You should not eat that pie, it will make you fat.

Bad - You are going to die young, you should quit smoking.
OK - You should not smoke, it will make die young.

781315 2009-06-11 15:59:00 If your fat your fat end of story. To me there are 2 types of fat people, happy fatties who enjoy it and dont care and are happy, then there is the denial fatties where its not their fault, ronald told them to keep eating burgers and fries...

Personally I dont care, Im not gonna candy coat anything incase they eat me.

781316 2009-06-11 21:48:00 I dont mind fat people, as long as I dont have to touch them....aaaaw!, but that horrible American Kat Pouse demanding this and that for fat people gets my goat..... SolMiester (139)
