    according to the height and weight chart, i am 50 pounds overweight, but i pass my PT test in the army and the body fat. I can run 2 miles in 18-19 minutes and do about 35 push in 2 minutes, also about 58 sit ups in 2 minutes. this is well above the requirements of the army, so if i am considered fat, then oh well, be scared and make fun all you want, i will probably outlive you cause i have low cholestoral and very good blood pressure, not to mention a good healthy lung capacity

    I would never make fun of a person for their physical appearance. I have laughed at clothing choices...the whole thong sticking out of the back of the pants is not only disgusting, it looks skanky. I have laughed at bad manners or bad behaviour...but not to the person's face or anywhere near them, where they might hear. An overweight person just outwardly shows either signs of rare medical problems or deeper emotional issues....some people reach for a big mac, others Jim Beam, or drugs, sex or develop obsessive compulsive disorders-to include over excercising, etc. So if we all took a good look inside ourselves and tried to better ourselves, we wouldn't have time to notice other's shortcomings, unless we were trying to constructively support them in making positive life changes.

    No. No way.

    I feel sorry for people that are obese. There are alot of circumstances that may cause a person to be overweight.

    I am not disgusted by overweight people (as some people say they are) I am disgusted by those that make fun of them.

    I don't like them. Every fat person I've seen just eats too much. At restaurants, they order way too much food, and they eat it all. They're constantly snacking and drinking cola. It's not that hard to excercise and eat right. Many weaknesses can be hidden, but overeating is something that shows on the outside. If someone is obese, it shows that they do not care enough about their health or looks. They can't control how much they eat. I like them less than I like drug addicts, because eating is an addiction, too. They take up too much space, especially on airplanes, concerts, buses or in crowds.

    Yes, I have made fun of obese people in the past. My wife is obese, however, and i love the hell out of her. I worry about her health, and she is trying to lose some weight, but thats my only concern.

    4 Bananas and a cup of earl grey old bean.

    For it is written in the stars, if all the world's a tram-ride then jam is also a free spirit to warm you like toast on a cold and frosty morning or in the middle of the night when you lose your underpants whilst tripping a*se over t*t.

    Anyway, If this is understood to you by yourself I wish it to be known also that you have a friend in clay pottery classes. Hoooooooooooooooooooooo ray !

    Yes when I was little I did. I teach my children differant. I tell them it is whats inside that counts. Obese people are God's children too.

    It depends. If you are wearing clothing appropriate to your weight it's fine. If you weigh 700 pounds and are walking around in a thong, that's bad.

    i do but not directly sometimes, but i tend to be more sensitive about how they would feel if you make fun of them. you'll never know one day when you wake up you just might tip the scale a 100lbs more than how you weigh now.

    i doesn't make relaxing of each person that is overweight for the easy shown truth that that is ignorant habit. human beings favor to make stronger up and some by no skill will. And "Dave" that still doesn't furnish you with the right to make relaxing of them.
