>> As one of your "fat chicks" I want to tell you that
>> (1) I prefer sex over food but don't have a partner at present; Ha ha - and do you think there is a connection between being obese and
partnerless? >> (2) discrimination of ANY type, including weight, should be illegal; Really? And what about discrimination on the basis of intelligence? Should that
be illegal? How about honesty? Should I be threatened with prison if I
discriminate against someone because of their dishonesty? Or do you mean that I
should only be allowed to discriminate on the factors that you say that I can -
that I should only be allowed to make decisions on the basis of factors that
you get to dictate to me? Wouldn't your life be better if you could control my
ability to make my own decisions? Wake up and smell the bacon, Porky. I have the right discriminate on
whatever basis I choose. If I discriminate against someone for a stupid reason,
I simply create opportunity for someone else. >> (3) people assume that fat people are fat because they do nothing but sit
>> and stuff their faces all day, which in many cases is not true. There were no fat people in concentration camps. Food intake and obesity are
closely related. You are in denial. >> Before making uninformed judgments, you should do a bit of research. Genetic
>> predisposition, glandular disorders, emotional disorders, and medications being
>> taken for other illnesses may all contribute to weight gain. Scientists are
>> researching something, I think an amino acid called Leptin, which has to do
>> with triggering the body's signal that hunger has been satisfied. I myself have
>> an autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's disease, in which my body is trying to kill
>> my thyroid gland, which controls metabolism. My endocrinologist has told me
>> that despite taking thyroid medication for the rest of my life, my metabolism
>> will always be slow, so I'd have to eat next to nothing and run ten miles a day
>> to lose any appreciable amount of weight. No can do as I'm also diabetic and
>> must eat at certain times of the day to keep my blood sugar levels steady. I'm
>> also asthmatic and have orthopaedic problems from an accident and fall last
>> summer, so exercise is a problem. Hmm - sounds like obesity is just a symptom. Your real problem is hypochondria. >> In any event, I'd never wear a size 4 or 6 or 8--it just isn't in the--
>> cards. Marilyn Monroe wore a size 12/14, and everyone thought she was
>> gorgeous. These days, all you guys would think she was fat. You are remarkably confident in predicting other people's thoughts. Actually,
Marilyn was sexy. Marilyn had shape. A barrel does not. >> I'd be deliriously happy to wear a 14, and I wouldn't give a shit if I ever
>> dated again or not -- I'd be a lot healthier. How much did you say you enjoyed sex? Or did you mean the kind that does not
involve a partner? Give praise to that miracle of modern technology, the
battery operated motor. >> I've got a 131 IQ, so while my wt. is higher than my IQ, I'm smarter than most
>> of you bozos out there, so kiss my fat ass, and you better start now 'cause
>> it'll take you a while, ha ha ha. Actually, at IQ 131 I think you would be below average for this group. I have
met many of them, and their analytical abilities are extremely high. However as far as whining and self-delusion go you seem to be in a class of
your own.
