I don't know where you get your facts (probably the government), but the usage of cocaine has led to far fewer deaths than obesity. Far far fewer. The health implications of moderate use are no worse than cigarettes or GASP eating a lot of fatty food.

Maybe its time to take a step back and ask yourself, ask your friend, ask your mother why we have such a hard time with maintaining a healthy weight in America. I like to think its that we have this excessive and babying society. A society that promotes and says its ok to eat large portions and fried foods despite not being able to handle it, but hell I might be wrong.

Maybe if we did make it socially unacceptable (such as you pointed out we've done with spitting dip and smoking) to eat gross portions of gross food we'd see a further increase in the health of our society as a whole. Sure its not easy to maintain your weight, but its more than possible. Maybe with enough effort... who knows, our health insurance premiums might even go down as the demand for health care due to clogged arteries and lung cancer starting to disappear.

And you'd be right that there is nothing imposing on me from fat people. Frankly I could care less if Johnny KFC stuffed himself till he died. I don't know why you and other people like to throw around the boogey-word "prejudice" so much. I definitely don't look at an overweight person and think anything other than "that guy doesn't take care of himself like he should." What I am saying is that if you're going to bust on smokers, huffers, snorters, etc for their bad habits then maybe you should take a look at who you defend.

And while we're at it, let's promote good healthy excerise routines, because from what I hear its one of the best methods of weight control and promotes longer, healthier life.

You're not very wise when it comes to history, are you?

Yes, blacks had to sit at the back of the bus, and would get pushed around, and all sorts of bad shit.. but you were not going to see (edit: an all out beating) happen on Main Street.

That seems to be what you people don't get... people have never done that sort of stuff in public, unless you were dealing with a situation where the Nazis were dragging jews out of their homes and similar genocides in Africa.. but that is because those people aren't viewed as human beings.

In Magnagora, all members of the Engine are considered deserving to live, so that whole genocide reasonings goes out the window. And aside from genocides, you're not going to find similar situations. It just doesn't happen. The only people that do it are drunk rednecks (immature) who will get locked up by the KKK sherrif, because you just don't do that sort of stuff in public.

Let's not turn this into a debate about weight, it will get way too heated. I'm liking the relative calm of the forums.

Please oh please .
