Oh my -blam!-ing god.... there's a "fat acceptance"- movement. We seriously need a nuclear holocaust on this planet.. Being fat is being lazy. Trust me, I'm lazy

  • Even if that were true, why does it change anything? That doesn't make them any more likely to change just for shaming them like some indignant child.

  • but that doesn't take away my right to frown upon it. And besides I refuse to believe that social pressure does nothing to fatness.

    It's true, you have every right to be a dick to anyone you wish to be a dick to, even if it means imposing your will on others (within the bounds of their legal rights). Just don't be surprised if you end up being a dick to the wrong fat person. Let's just call this what it is. If you think that you have a right to shame people for being fat, it doesn't matter if you erroneously think you are helping them. The reality is you are bullying them.

  • I'm not bullying anyone... calm down.. All I'm saying is that obesity is a serious problem and should not be embraced like some harmless habit..

    When did anyone say it should be embraced like a harmless habit? This isn't a binary option, to shame them in hopes that negative reinforcement is actually a motivator or encourage obesity.

  • I'm glad you figured that out. At no point was I enforcing bullying them either.

  • [quote]And besides I refuse to believe that social pressure does nothing to fatness.[/quote]In the context of the OP article coupled with your quote, it seems that you are treading that thin line.
