I've always noticed that in America it's socially acceptable to be prejudiced against cannabis users, tobacco addicts, alcoholics, unmentionable-heads, etc. but not the obese. Sure it's okay to share jokes at their expense in certain situations but true prejudice against them is never tolerated. On the other hand it's usually deemed perfectly acceptable to lambast tobacco users, alcoholics, unmentionable-heads, etc. in most situations. Why? Do you support this current societal double standard?
Well, there are many aspects to the problem. Being an alcoholic, tobacco user and unmentionable fiend are all things you can do to hurt yourself. The issue with hating fat people is SOME have serious medical conditions. Some people find it unacceptable to judge people on their looks and that often affects views on the subject. Although, if it's known for a fact the person just likes to eat their life away.. There often looked down upon because they are damaging their body, potentially becoming dependent on our system and lead a bad example for children.
I'm prejudice against morbidly obese fucks who sit around eating McDonald's and only getting up to get ice cream while they rot in their own fat.
How about not haboring hatred towards anyone? Prejudice against fat people is redundant because their physical condition doesnt affect you.
That's because, in America, there's so many fat people that, if you say something about them, one of them is bound to hear you. In the UK we find fat people hilarious.
But if we aren't prejudiced against anyone, we'll have to face our own inadequacies, that's never good.
I'm not so sure that's accurate. You'd think it raises healthcare costs and makes them more likely to cause vehicular accidents as a result of the Type 2 diabetes many manage to inflict upon themselves. And because society is so accepting of them, many are allowed to enter into occupations where their obesity could put your life at risk. I'm sure a fat fireman or paramedic will be a lot less effective in the field than one of healthy weight.
No, its the same all round for me..... blah blah blah.... if I make a fat joke and you get offended.... get fucked.... its simple
If you have a medical condition and you eat healthy but are still fat I have no problem with you. But if you have a medical condition, drink soda, eat non stop fast food, and don't do shit its no different than any of the other lazy people in this country. It pisses me off when people go to mcdonalds 3 meals a day and think ill just get a diet coke to offset the retarded amount of calories I'm eating. No. Eat a damn apple and get off the couch. Sorry. I'm from indiana so all I see is fat people who eat fast food non stop, never exercise, and take government money because they're "sick"
Note that I agree with you, I'm gonna throw an alternate viewpoint in just for giggles. You choose to get healthcare when you can heal most anything wrong with you (short of a severed limb or other serious injury) on your own. It's completely your choice to receive healthcare, if you don't agree with the cost go somewhere else or do it yourself. Similarly, you assume the risk of being in an accident, regardless of fault, every time you get in your car. It's your choice to drive. If you don't want to be in an accident, don't drive. Their actions don't effect you unless you let them. Food for thought. Peace.
There's been an increase of desire for unhealthiness in general for a while now.. processed food, pharmaceuticals, sugar, staying inside, not exercising, diet pills as substitutes for healthy living, churches, climbing the corporate ladder, ad nauseam. Barf.
But more than ever, there's fat slobs of a woman walking like they're a playboy model with the massive glasses pound of makeup eyelashes gallon of perfume and huge slabs of lard hanging out of the skinny lady skirt.
Is it? I openly share with people how I think obesity is repugnant and that come the apocalypse, we'll eat fat people first because they'll harbour the most food.
We don't eat fat, we eat muscle. When the apocalypse comes I'm gonna eat the idiots who wasted their life bench pressing.
I'm prejudiced against fat people but not just fat people the ones who are pretty obese. Just in the sense that I don't feel sorry for them and I believe they should have to buy two seats at football games. I understand there are ones who can't help it and I'm more sympathetic to older fat people but I can't stand when i see family of fat people and their 300 pound 5 year old. The other day they had a fat lady in one of those little electric shopping carts at wal Mart In line an another fat lady walked up to her to see if she could get it when she was done and waited at the door for her to get off.... Really??
Yeah I have no issues with chubby people. It's the ones with the dark spots on their cheeks and stuffing mayo induced food into their mouths that could feed an entire family.
