Fattism

[manboobs109]

Disussion on Sky news at the moment regarding the most acceptable of prejudice, fattism. What is everyones thoughts on here? Studies show that fat people are clearly discriminated against in lots of walks of life so if we have legislation regarding race, creed, sexual orientation, gender and age why not body shape?

Fuck 'em.

 

(Not literally)

[rumpus]

You can't help your gender, colour, sex etc.. All it takes is a bit of willpower not to be a fat fuck.

 

That's why. Not difficult really.

So people can be discriminated against because of their choices that affect no one else? Religion for instance?

[Quagmire]

Calm down fatty.

[manboobs109]

Being fat isnt an innate characteristic, its the consequence of negative behaviours.

 

We should be allowed to criticise behaviours, but not demean innate characteristics.

 

People are all equal, but behaviours are not all equal.

So I get that a person can choose to be fat due to laziness but religion is usually forced on you when your young so its a tricky one that, I think being a cunt to someone for a facile reason is not good but for me it really depends on how funny you are.

So people can be discriminated against because of other peoples perceptions of their behaviour? Who's to say over eating is negative if it affects nothing else except someone's health?

This is where the socialised medicine argument comes in "why should I pay for a fat fucks heart transplant" substitute fat for junkie or non seatbelt wearer etc

Fat people are discriminated against in all walks of life. The NHS are one of the few organisations that don't.

I get you now. Obviously healthcare is an issue in itself.

[manboobs109]

You edited it back! Make up your mind Rumpus you wee shitbag.

In what way are fat people discriminated against? They are mocked certainly, but discriminated against?

 

I think its reasonable to have a negative opinion of negative behaviours.

Life and therefore health are intrinsically good - so something damages someones health, it is objectively bad.

[manboobs109]

CS you are on another thread talking about drinking? Surely thats negative?

I'm not surprised by rumpus' attitude towards those of Pakistani origin. He much prefers gentlemen from across the border - particularly the offshore cementer type....W⚓️
