Uh, so is LUST, the very thing that lines out pockets.
cashbot, thanks for the encouragement, I do believe you meant it sincerely, so please consider what I am about to say. Hating people for their own good doesn't work. The repulsion you may feel towards an obese person is your right to feel, and you're right, many people feel that way. But treating someone as less than human because of anything isn't right. I'm not saying you do, I'm just addressing the way that overweight people will likely perceive your comment.
I have to say that Tony is right. I don't judge people by their appearance, or my perception or assumption of the kind of life they lead. Everyone gets my respect until they un-earn it. Even people I dislike I go out of my way to treat with the respect of a sincere disagreement, rather than resorting to childish personal attacks.....at least the vast majority of the time, lol, sometimes I slip. ;-P
When I'm fit, (note I don't say thin), I'll feel really good about the dedication that I put into myself, and I will probably have more energy and stamina, and less stress....but I can't imagine expressing my pride by disrespecting overweight people.
