Fat-ism

[Beach Hut]

I think the train companies should charge extra for the amount of space they use.

 

[Husty]

Eat less cake?

Its high level stuff isnt it?

 

[Husty]

Isn't it just illegal to attack people for any reason? As Tina Turner once sang "What's fat gotta do with it?"

yes but on the other hand i dont like people who have made a choice to be fat (yes its a choice) throwing themselves in the same group as people of a different race/gender/dissabilty and a do a lesser extent today gays who dont choose these things

2. Jolly fat people - i like these

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

I like fat people that take the piss out of themselves for being fat!!

 

[Simster]

Fat people piss me off. Kinky/Edna etc are right, most fat people are fat because they don't look after themselves and/or eat too much.

And they look hideous and sweat profusely.

 

[Northstander]

Was the train empty or were the seats taken at the time, (ie two seats by the person at the top of this thread?)

 

[coventrygull]

When we are talking fat. How fat? I like a woman with a bit of meat on her

 

[looney]

If your fat stay out of chip shops, eat more salads and stop stuffing donuts.

Oh and take more exercise, how difficult a choice can that be?

It might be difficult if you have deep psychological problems. These people need help not insults.

Obviously no-one deserves to be physically attacked for their appearance. Well apart from gingers naturally but to put this on the same footing as gender/race related abuse/attacks is beyond ridiculous.

On the other hand on a recent transatlantic flight I narrowly avoided being sat next to a fat woman (there was some convulted seat swapping going on) and I would then have had to speak up as the alternative would have been only having half a seat for 8 hours.

Other than that I'm pretty neutral on our rotund doughnut obsessed porky brethren.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

What is that meant to mean? Do gays choose to be gay do they? Tit

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Some fat bloke waddled onto the train yesterday and spotted a seat between two women with three people sitting opposite. You could see their hearts sink as he squeezed himself between them, forcing one of them to sit half on half off and squashing the other up against the side of the train. It looked ridiculous.

Do these people have no dignity?

Thats the thing isnt it, ok its them that will have the heart attack but why should others suffer? some american airlines are forcing people of a certain size to buy two seats .

A large section of fat people have psychological problems causing them to
"comfort eat". Thats a matter for them to sort, it doesnt warrant abuse.

On the other hand, to claim its not their fault or is some sort of disability,
or bracket their discrimination with race/gender etc-they can cut the crap
(preferably out of their diet!)

Head, nail, on, hit.

Happens here too and rightly so.

exactly, there is already protection against violence whether you are 20 stone or 12. Fatt people dont deserve abuse, but neirth should they be "protected" from their self inflicted life style choice. put the cake down.

i reckon we haven't heard the full story, people dont normally get attacked on trains for being fat.

Hospital says man is too fat for testing

LIVERPOOL, England, (UPI) -- A 308-pound British man is
demanding an apology from a hospital in Liverpool, England, where he
was told he was too fat to have an angiogram.

Alan Nolan, 57, told the Liverpool Echo his doctors knew his size and
had promised special equipment would be on hand for his scheduled heart
procedure at the Royal Liverpool Hospital.

However, he said, when he arrived for his appointment, he told he was
too fat to fit on the operating table and sent home.

Nolan said his doctor told him five months ago there was a potential
problem with a heart valve and now he has to further wait for a
diagnosis.
