Fat vs Thin: A Debate

  Hospital's already accommodate to them.
  
  Really now?
  
  They shouldn't.

  What are you saying? If these people get sick, they need to be taken care of.
  
  Hospitals must absolutely accommodate them. That goes the same for people who are 8 feet tall or who have really contagious diseases. It's a hospital.

  I know, I know, but some people disagree :x

  What? Raise the price on fast food/soda/meat?
  I'm underweight and I hate that idea. I practically live off of fast food and soda.
  
  Why do any of you care whether or not a person takes up two seats on a bus or in a movie theater?
  Handicapped people also take up extra space and have designated seating that could be used for other passengers.
  You could say one is a lifestyle choice while the other isn't, but who are you to say how somebody should live their lives? Especially as people who spend a very large amount of time on the computer (the recommended time spent on computers and television is a maximum of TWO HOURS per day), which has it's own long list of unhealthy side-effects.

  You are right, Justified.
  
  However, I appreciate that cigarettes are so expensive. If they weren't, I think people would smoke more.
  
  But you do have a point. Raising prices of FOOD just to prevent obesity seems silly.
  
  I don't care who takes up 2 seats. And I know obese people aren't all miserable. Some of them are happy as they are. I just worry about the health of these people. That's what concerns me more.
  
  I used to be quite overweight before. I wasn't miserable at all, but when I lost all that weight, I gained so much more confidence. I'd love for people to feel this way. It's an amazing feeling.

  See I'd be more comfortable gaining weight, hell I'd LOVE to gain weight. I weigh 145-ish pounds and it hasn't changed for a year, and thats mostly due to my metabolism. I looove junk food like no other but I can't gain the weight. Only thing that works is gaining muscle :I Being this skinny sux, has its advantages but its TOOO skinny.

  Get some more muscle on your figure then. Won't risk your health, but it will make you seem bigger. 6'3" guy with muscles? Yes please.

  I'm sick of people hating on others just because they're overweight.
  
  I've heard from people say that fat people shouldn't even go into public, they should just walk up and down their stairs at home until they're 'presentable'.
  
  The argument is that because they make other people uncomfortable, they have to live like 2nd class citizens. And that's so bogus.

  ^My best friend IRL is on the heavy side and shes a vegetarian but its genetics. Her parents are pretty hefty o-o but its coolio.
  
  I've been doing this program

  My sis has the whole set LEGALLY o' course ;D

  People who complain about fat people need to get a life.
  
  To discriminate a person just because he or she is overweight/obese is just as equal as sexism or racism. On grounds of non-safety, that is.
  
  Kevin Smith should not have been kicked off that plane. He was perfectly seated. I don't know the whole story, but that sounds like discrimination to me.

  You use the same program as my friend xD. I'm to lazy to figure what I have to do, so I let my trainer tell me what to do.

  No I don't. When you sign up for the gym, well at least the one here, you can make appointment with a trainer, tell him your goals, and he'll fix you up a schedule and show you how things work.
  
  I asked for a basketball menu and that I wanted to get some muscles :D.
