This is one of the most insightful threads I have seen here. I agree with a lot of the claims about how stupid some people are. That said, there's nothing wrong in being judgmental. It's vital to ensure functioning justice. As long as folks have the right IQ to base their judgements on, that is. Most of the r3t@rds who malign people for using short-cuts are intellectually challenged. As others said here, they could be internalizing whatever. Either way, the opinion of sheep should never matter. I was just saying this elsewhere. The most optimal way to deal with such pests is with one of the most profound two-word phrases in the English language: "Fvck It".
That said, it would be incorrect to deny that it is definitely a partial failing of character if someone became obese AFTER becoming an adult. Of course, there is the societal villainy promoting widespread obesity. Nevertheless, one has to be held responsible for their choices. I certainly have no issues accepting the reality that even though my obesity began due to faulty parenting from when I was 6 months old, I made poor decisions that exacerbated the problem. If obesity ought to be treated as the negative it is, then there is justification for vilifying it. But, there is no valid justification for demeaning those who use GLPs or surgery. That's analogous to m0r0ns blaming folks for using antipyretics to treat a fever. Obesity is a disease. Its cause is irrelevant. You counter a disease with the best medicine you can obtain.
Once again, others have clarified that Envy, that true mother of all sins, is certainly a big determinant in this situation, along with their brainwashed existence. Work hard is paltry alternative to work smart. Time is the most invaluable resource for any human being. Logically, one must use the best solution for a problem. Someone mentioned the 7 deadly sins. But the general world is unaware that the Christian version is a b@stardized copy of the original Greek virtues and vices. Amongst the 4 virtues, Temperance is ranked 4th on the list, which is why, I wholeheartedly accept personal responsibility in remaining obese after I turned 18. However, the second highest virtue in that list is Prudence, though I rate Phronesis better myself. Prudence mandates using the best tool for the job. Today those might be GLPs and surgery. Tomorrow it may be something else. Any fool who thinks that's cheating can take a long walk on a short pier or alternatively take a jump off their ego on to their IQ.
Anecdotally, when I was in college, once a drunk bully voiced his brilliance by telling me that "if you weren't 6"3, 295lbs, I would kick your a$$. (Fortunately, India was not as an@l about violence as the West. The bully never vocalized such thoughts to me ever again, inebriated or otherwise.)
The same people said you must lose weight, and two weeks later, taking creatine was cheating. Of course, since I was younger, my personal motto of "Fvck it", was slightly different back then. I used "Off" instead of "It", backed up by a delectable threat of violence. Nowadays, when those evolution-discarded Neanderthals profess such stupidity, I merely pull out my Triple 9 Society credentials and tell them to take their polluting imbecility out of my presence.
Therefore, at the end of all that, my point is this. Do not waste precious time considering r3t@rds and their idiocy. Of course, I have a congenital allergy for the intellectually challenged, but an overriding antipathy for the morally deprived vermin as well.
Cheating on taxes takes money from public services
Taxation is theft. Progressive taxation is a murder of justice.
It's that phucking Rugged Individualism all over again. That bitch rears her ugly head at every turn.
Hey! Rugged Individualism rocks. Entitled collectivism is the rotten skank responsible for this travesty. The same anti-merit, anti-hierarchy vermin with single digit IQs who think that "work hard" is a synonym for work smart.
The terms were(are) gluttony and sloth, two of the Seven Deadly Sins. Gluttony (excessive eating/induglence) and sloth (lack of discipline, laziness, failure to exercise) have been so engrained in western culture that a heavy body is seen as a morally compromised body.
I can assure you, it has nothing to do with Western culture. It's universal. In India and China, too, obesity is viewed as a failing/sin. A lack of self-control and discipline, is automatically stamped on the offender. They're not always wrong either.
I'm all for free speech. As long as they don't try to hinder me, the mouth breathers can continue breathing.
