Default OT / My pet peeve *fatties*


"Ellen MacArthur" wrote in message

I can't seem to get those pictures of Tom's fat family outta my mind.
Maybe if I tell you all my pet peeve you'll all know why it bothers me so
seeing
people cripple and sicken themselves like that.
It used to be that people in my generation just said : "Leave 'em alone,
if
they wanna be fat it's their right to be fat." Not any more! Nyut uh! My
generation's paying for all their Medicare that takes care off all their
health
problems. Problems they wouldn't have it they weren't so freakin' fat.
Just like cigarette smokers who sue tobacco companies because they got
cancer fatties won't admit they're the ones to blame. Their problem is
they can't
shut their pie-holes. They ate so much because they're gluttons. The Bible
even
says gluttony is a sin. Do they care. Not a chance. They eat like hogs til
they get
so fat they can't do anything physical for a good time. The only good time
they
can have is to sit their obesity down to another big fattening meal. Then
just like
in Tom's photos they lie around and let the weight pack on. Is this even
considered
*human* behavior? It's more like how ticks behave.
The result is the typical American family. Tom's is the typical
American
family, I'm afraid to say. It's disgusting. It's even worse that my
generation has
to pay for the results of their gluttony. They're aughta be a law.
And how about the way they slow the whole world down. Ever get behind
one
of them in a Supermarket? Forget about getting around them. They're so fat
they
block the whole aisle. Some of them have to sit in those electric carts
while they
push a full shopping cart and they stop you and ask you to get some sugary
or greasy
thing from the top shelf. Pathetic and disgusting.
And the fat women are the worse. They wear some kind of big and tall
man's
slacks and a XXXXXXXL tee shirt that they keep pulling down to try to
disguise
the five or six rolls of fat that bulge around what should be their waist
line. Makes
me wanna hurl.
Now, I know it ain't PC to say these things. But by all that's holy
somebody's gotta
start the ball rolling before these fatties eat every penny of what they
take outta
our paychecks. They'll be nothing left for us. Next thing ya know they'll
have to
double and triple the withholding. And just because a bunch of fatties
don't have
any interest other than eating.

Cheers,
Ellen (nobody calls me a fat chick)


Large numbers of Fatties can only exist because of excessive government
regulation and socialism. Most of those fatties are on group health
insurance or government run health programs. The health risks of these
behemoths are pooled with non fatties. If the government would end medicare,
medicaid and undo the tax benefits of non qualifying group health insurance
programs and make the fatties pay for true risks and consequences of their
own health problems they would see the skinny real fast. We don't need to
raise taxes on fast food or regulate what people eat. We simply must do less
and let individuals do more for themselves.

The American health care system is not the problem, for it is the best in
the history of the world. It is American health that is the problem which is
the result of lifestyle choices and the removal of responsibility.
