(Idea from CMF forum.. ) Weight discrimination could be as common as racial bias - USATODAY.com Thoughts?
this is something we all do at one point in our lives if we are not obese, i remember in 6th grade we would pick on the "fat kid" and unlike racial discrimination you tend to not really think about it so much
I really can't help it, but when I see an obese person I'm thinking 'eww, lose some fat'. I would never fire or refuse to hire them though, that's going too far. But I will always look at obese people as people who don't take good care of their body. While that may be a good thing, it does not promote a healthy body. It's good to be happy with yourself, but I still think that all obese people should lose weight. I'm talking about obese people who're fat because of food, not because of medications etc.
I was in an argument with someone that's similar to your point here. I was saying that it wasn't very healthy, and that people could care about there health and such but the other person was like "It's not your concern if they are happy or not" I don't know what to think about that.. I could post a link to the debate if you want. Maybe..
I would agree with this. It's a double-edged sword. You don't want to denigrate someone based off of the way they look, but obesity is a problem people bring upon themselves (in most cases).
Sure, post the link. Sure it's not our concern if they're happy or not. But they shouldn't whine about people looking weird at them, or about discrimination. Ofcourse I'm not trying to talk discrimination right, but in this society you have to look good or else you're an outcast. To the ones who don't care about that, fine by me; to the ones who do care, lose some fat instead of whining.
What a bunch of fuckers over there. They make you look like a fool while you gave valid points unlike most of them. I wholeheartly agree with you. Like I said before, if people are happy with their weight, fine by me, but don't come whining when people have disgusted looks upon their faces.
Also a lot of the people think that people should be able to kill themselves too. Which.. well. I don't think is right at all. But I'm pretty much made up with everyone we're all friends, just .. their views are wrong
