Alright, that's fair enough then. It merely came across like that, is all.

I don't have a problem with you exaggerating, myself.

But I certainly wanted to point out his hypocrisy in not taking you to task for that actual strawman when he's trying to book me down for pointing out the logical implications of his suggested course of behavior.

I'm allergic to hypocrisy.

I think you may have a point here. But I also think people on both sides of this argument are way too extreme. Is it wrong to suggest a friend or family member try to lose weight? No. I prefer offering to help. I have an anti processed foods policy at my house (except special occasions) and any friends or family are welcome to eat here I will cook them healthy food if they're interested in getting healthy. I have helped people lose weight before. I think if you're not willing to put in the effort of actually helping someone, then there's no use in opening your mouth. Speak out about obesity in general get involved in groups that aim to educate people who are interested in getting some help. Going up to some dude like "hey I really care about you and I suggest you try to eat less for your own sake. I'm not judging your body just genuinely concerned" is completely worthless. At best you'll have told dude exactly what he already knew and made absolutely no impact on his health. At worst you'll have hurt his feelings or pissed him off and still made absolutely no impact on his health.

I agree with this totally.

lol, grow up, child.

When you cannot address a man's points, you resort to insult -- the ad hom is the surest sign of a shoddy thinker.

You have a good evening now, boy.

Yeah, the hypocrisy of your posts is always on point.

And it's essentially all I've said as well. But it's funny how Thumpacuntacus likes to kudos this, but magically when I say it, it's wrong.

Well it's kinda what you said. People react negatively because you tend say everything in the most rude and/or offensive manner and you have a habit of verbally attacking anyone who disagrees with you.

Hey I'm not judging you just genuinely concerned about the effects of your behavior on the way people react to you. Tongue

Lol, but really, I maintain that while it is not wrong to mention something to a friend or relative about weight loss, if you offer them no help it is pretty useless.

Fuck me, the idiocy in this thread. Nobody here has said a damn thing like this. Fuck off with your stupid straw man bullshit.

Welcome to my experience on these forums, Napoleon.
