TAX THE FAT

Of course you’re absolutely right

There are no fat people about , that are resposnsible for their size – it’s all down to meds , health problems hereditary traits

It’s about time people took some responsibility for themselves – that’s the whole problem with society today – too many people blaming everything but themselves

We are a totally mollycoddled society – and no wonder people feel they have no need to take responsibility whilst others find every excuse under the sun to blame something else

Well said! =D>

read the whole thread drivel,
i did not say that all overweight peeps r overweight bcause of health/traits ect
many meds do actually have side effects of adding weight onto peeps
i am just adding that to the equation
its not that simple
and yes peeps should take responsibilty for themselves
i am not disputin that fact at all
just addin some dimension to an absurd thread

Cath has just forgotten the point of a forum!

its for people to air their views, no one has been angry or aggressive towards anyone who is overweight at all they have voiced their opinion that is all

you come on with your capital letters being aggressive and telling people that unless they have experienced something dont talk about it!

so the next time a topic about rape comes up i cannot comment as i have never been raped or raped anyone else

next time a topic about terrorism comes up i cannot comment!

cath do not be silly about this it is a forum words on a screen, if you eat to comfort yourself then that is fine

some people may think that being overweight is fine some people do not think it is fine

i personally am on the doctors side of the argument

QUOTE:

If someone wants to eat 10 pizzas a day, self inflicts their condition, and then needs a heart transplant, but will continue afterwards in the same lifestyle- should that person have the same right to a new heart as someone who has been active in keeping themselves healthy but for other reasons (ie hereditary or clinical) needs a heart.

You have every right to eat, drink and inject what you want- what you should not have the right to assume is that your actions will be dealt with by others that then enable you to carry on exercising your right. QUOTE. =D> =D> =D>

Very well said Slayer, I had exactly the same point of view over the George Best liver transplant.
