max Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 It's kinda interesting how folks who'd never tell a racist joke or call someone a faggot have no problem discriminating against the overweight. As if their condition is evidence of some kind of moral failure on their part. I think many people's frustration w/ fatties is based on the assumption they could have done something about being overweight, like change the diet or increased activity. I know there are people who have medical conditions that put this out of their control, but I also see fat people at the store buying chips and junk food, then getting in their car and driving home. I'd figure most of the overweight in the US could reduce their problem with a change in lifestyle. And when someone else let's their shit slip and their problem becomes everyone elses problem, people start to judge them. Seems pretty standard. But, all this said, I'd like to think I agree most with what Chuck said. Compassion is the high road. Quote
