The "I have a confession thread"

I am certain I have spent over a thousand dollars on the game I play.

If they have a medical condition they can get a doctor's notice and be tax exempt. Oh wow, I just pulled the rug out from under your argument. Go figure.

No, actually you didn't because you're still stupid. Taxing people based on their weight is just dumb in and of itself. And the only thing I was saying was that not all people are fat because of food and I cited an example of that. YOU are still an idiot. Clearly, this is just another instance where you fail miserably to think anything through.

This is an unprecedented level of argument skills we're dealing with here.

Look man, if fat people would take a healthy initiative and schools and families would do a better job educating people about weight, we would have a healthier country. Making excuses for fat people isn't going to do shit. Giving them a good diet and stop letting these shitty fast food companies and processed food companies get slots on television. I have 0 fucking sympathy for the fat people in this country, they caused their own demise. The sooner we start advocating for a change instead of coddling their disease, the better.

Last time I checked I didn't have the body parts to qualify for being a man. 

Listen carefully. I know this is going to be hard to understand so I'll try and choose words that are easy for you to read. 
Not all fat people got that way because they ate too much. If you honestly believe that that is the ONLY reason for why they are heavy, you are seriously fucked up in the head. 
You need help and lots of it.

I'm torn between agreeing and disagreeing with you. Not all fat people are fat because they eat too much, that's true, but I'd wager the majority of them are. There's a big caveat to that though and that's where I disagree with DFM. The "eating too much" part, in my experience, is more often than not just a symptom of a bigger problem. When I was a teenager, I was heavily depressed and eating food was a way to cope with that because it made me feel better for a little time. It wasn't that I was hungry all the time, it simply made me feel good to eat. Eventually I was able to replace that coping mechanism with anti-depressants and therapy. It took me years to get there, but today I'm finally at a healthy weight again. DFM, from what I gathered by reading your posts, you seem to have very simplistic views with seemingly no nuance to them. Once you realize how complex humans are, you probably won't be so quick to judge people.

I confess I'm a totally uncool nerd and always have been.

But you sing an awesome family guy tune. And you do some neat tooth clicking thing.

Thanks very much

I'm very pro health. I am against anything having to do with over weight habits. Yes, I realize that there's many reasons that a person could become over weight. I have been over weight about twice in my life, it was a horrible thing which I overcame by becoming serious about the food I eat. I don't put junk in my body and I am staunchly opposed to any notions that go against health. Yes, I agree that there's a lot of reasons that people can become over weight, I think that we should look at all of them and try to make a culture that is more sensitive to health. From what I have seen, I have been called weird for eating the strict diet that I eat. It is just down right depressing that I don't see more people taking my side with this issue, so they can protect the fatty feelings.

We should defnitely tax people who have all Cs and Ds in school, lazy bastards!

I'm not going to confide in people who use things I say to taunt me. It's fucking dishonest and cruel.

You don't think you deserve to be taxed for bad grades? Sure, the genes play a role here, but aren't most people just lazy? Odds are it's lazyness and lack of incentive, just like with fat people. What do you expect me to do? Shut up to protect loser feelings?

/just to be clear, I don't mean any of these things. I'm just mirroring your thoughtless and ignorant attitude towards others

I don't put junk in my body

Judging from your needing someone thread I would wager that you don't put anything in your body.

We should also have a specific tax for alcoholics.

And drug addicts.

And bad drivers.

And anorexic people.

And..... where does it end?

If they ever institute an asshole tax, I'm fucked.

That's my confession.

Lol, there's an unparalleled difference between fat people and people who are lazy about grades. The model of education that we have, I believe, doesn't account for the individual learning style of all kids. It clumps them together into classrooms. I for one work better when I am one on one, because I can go at my own pace and not have to go through all the redundant parts of class. They teach kids in a rigid, fixed way. With food, there's a mass misconception that it's just cool to "eat like an american" and "live it up", which is just ignorant and fatalistic, which is just some of the reasons why unhealthy lifestyles are so prevalent in our country. You're willing to throw the health of citizens under the bus, because you'd rather make nonequivalent comparisons, which are actually just making fun of me anyways.
