Something that amazes and infuriates me here is the casual and insistent insulting of anyone who is overweight or obese, especially since statistics tell us that it is almost certain that 50-75% of the people here fall within that category. Is that a “conservative” thing and I somehow missed that meeting? I’m not defending this woman, per se, but I have to believe that many people making jokes and casting aspersions on fat people are they themselves out of shape, flabby, fat, portly, chubby, overweight or worse. Please explain that to me.

BMI is stupid.

Most athletes are obese and morbidly obese using those measures.

Don't get me wrong, I don't pick on or ridicule over weight people because of their weight. I ridicule them if they are libtards who are part of the establishment that wants to tell us and our kids what we should eat, what we should not eat, how much we should exercise and in general how we should live our lives.

I also ridicule overweight people when they have physical handicaps that are a direct result of their weight and they whine about their handicap but refuse to acknowledge which is the obvious, they need to lose weight.

I had a very obese cousin. Doctor basically told here to lose weight or die. She did not whine about it. She got her stomach stapled, exercised, and lost about 300 pounds. She feels great.

I used to work at wall mart. It was always sad that the genuinely handicapped would sometimes have a hard time finding a handicap parking space or electric cart because the obese were using them all. One of the regulars at wall mart that I knew who was handicapped used to always come in early so he could get a parking spot and get an electric cart. I used to talk to him and he would bitch about all the fat a$$es hogging the electric carts. His words, not mine.

In conclusion I will say that I do not ridicule people based solely on their weight. I ridicule them for other reasons.

BTW, I got a good case going on where my 6 pack used to be.

Oh and please, don't bring up glandular problems. I know about glandular problems and I feel for anyone who has it.

I left out, I also ridicule obese people if they are libtards who want me to pay more taxes to take care of their medical problems which are a direct result of their weight.

If you go by the BMI equation, and turn sideways, if you are still visible you're fat or worse. It all depends on how large a shadow you cast.

Part of the phenomenon relates to people who aren't in any better physical shape telling the rest of us how to live (Moochelle, for instance). While many of us are not perfect, we tire of those with obvious flaws telling us how to live, and will waste no time pointing those flaws out.
