i'm 5'9", 230 and 19% body fat. I've went up to 270, i've been down to 175. I never once thought about being offended if someone said "dude, you're getting fat". I took it for what it was, cut back on my calories and got on the treadmill and started running and start changing up my workouts.

The USA is the fattest nation on the planet and preventable disease has crippled the entire healthcare system. You'll never see me saying "hey man, you're morbidly obese, but its ok, thats just your personal choice". It's a personal choice to be obese and people should accept the consequences of their choices, particularly when they affect everyone else as well.

We need to stop the shit.

We need to stop telling everyone they're perfect just how they are.

We need to stop giving out participation trophies and telling kids they're special.

We need to stop heading down this path of churning out narcissistic, self centered assholes and start telling people like it is.


And here's some food for thought on the idea of not hurting feelings.

Who excelled as a group more after high school?

The fat kids, the nerds, the social retards or the popular/cool kids?

The people who were least popular and had the lowest self esteem worked harder. The kids who were the star athletes, fucking the cheerleaders all peaked in high school... because all they knew was how awesome they are and then got out into a world they weren't prepared to deal with.

No one changes themselves until they want to change. All that however, has nothing to do with the individuals choice to be morbidly obese and unhealthy. At some point, an adult is supposed to act like an adult and take responsibility for their actions and decisions.

It shouldn't be a crime to say "you're fat" - when its a blatantly obvious fact. Tom Cruise is short. I seriously doubt he runs away and cries every time someone says "wow, i thought you'd be taller". No one has the power to hurt you unless you give them that power.

You want to know how many fat people get picked on for sincerely trying to lose weight in a gym? ~0-ish.

How many obese people get picked on in a restaurant after downing 3000 calories in a single sitting each day? probably quite a few.

Being obese is a choice.
Part of the consequence of that choice is being unhealthy and being looked at by society as an unhealthy, gluttonous person.

We shouldn't be looking at society and sending they message "hey man, be very careful not to let the morbidly obese women know she's morbidly obese"

Discrimination is wrong, plain and simple. :2 cents:

Its not discrimination its labeling. He didnt not serve them because they were fat, he simply labeled them as fat. If I labeled your table montreal guy would that be discrimination?

Those hogs need to get in the gym

I never said what they did was okay anywhere in my post, so Im not sure where youre gathering that from. All im saying is people who are obese like that and are a drain on our society and health care systems. You cant ask someone like that to get healthy and workout, they need to be forced either by the health care system or the gov't which is practically the same entity at this point. IMO free will stops once it starts effecting our country as a whole. OUR COUNTRY OPENLY GETS MADE FUN OF FOR OBESITY :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Well said. that is the problem with America....we would rather have everybody be PC about obesity than do anything about the problem. I like what they do in Japan where some companies will fine you for being over weight because you are causing healthcare cost to go up. Or when I was in the AirForce if your body fat was above a certain level for so long you got kicked out. :2 cents:

They didn't say anything about getting bad service because they were fatties. He was just calling a spade a spade. If they are offended for being called fat maybe they should diet and exercise instead of crying about it.
