So if the government had just paid Karen Carpenter to eat, she would be alive today....Brilliant. I'm sure that would work the other way around with this lady.

Holy freaking crap what are you talking about!?

Don't mess with linear thinkers. That's the lesson I learned today. Gotta run. I'll check in tomorrow to digest the latest round of fat slams. In other words, please resume the "Can't believe ..." and "Wow! How can anyone ..." posts.

Well, here comes a classic tangent. Wait for it........

....and I told you so.

I have not slammed her one time for being overweight. I did make the mistake of thinking your wanted to have an actual intelligent debate about an issue. My mistake, won't make it again.

:idunno:I knew better. Was even laughing at everyone else that entertained his game then allowed myself to be sucked in. No one but myself to blame.

Now now woodsie old pal...you know if the government had paid you NOT to use your computer and get on line and read BGP, you wouldn't have gotten dragged into this and wouldn't be disappointed. So, technically, it's the governments fault, so don't feel bad.

:lol2: Ah, there's entertainment value in it anyway.

Dang it...can I sue someone?

Time to introduce a little levity. I apologize if it offends. But it does illustrate the "two sides of the same (eating disorder) coin" thought.

It's an oldie but a goodie.

 

If Mama Cass had given Karen Carpenter half of her sandwich, they'd both be alive today.

189 posts and I've gotten dumber.

It all comes down to this. People that are fat eat too much and don't burn enough calories. If you're happy with the way you look being plus sized, then more power to you.

 

At the same time, how can any reasonable adult blame anyone other than themselves for being fat? I mean, there has to be a point in your life where you change something that you don't like about yourself. Passing the blame on other people is an easy way out. All that it means is that you don't want to take responsibility for your own actions. If you're in a state where you can't take responsibility for your own actions, then you need to be supervised at a psych ward.

 

Does that make sense?

Which is really difficult to believe.

 

Think of the billions of dollars we'd save down the road when these people turn 65 and start drawing on the Medicare system. Say what you want, but this plan certainly would reduce the federal deficit in the long run.

 

.....if some people didn't procreate.:walk:

Is this woman required to stop at D.O.T. stations for weigh-ins or is she allowed to travel freely on interstates?

Which is really difficult to believe.
