Hits this one out of the park, IMO.

I have to agree also. I'm certainly not in favor of bullying anyone overweight, nor pushing someone who has a few pounds to lose feel bad. However, the idea that women nearing or over 200 pounds or men with beer belly and weight up there, is all as healthy as those that eat less and/or exercise more is nonsense. He's right about the young being able to 'get away with it,' for awhile is also correct; yet there comes a time...

I do understand that there are physical conditions that make it very difficult, even impossible to reach and/or maintain a healthy weight, they again-physical conditions as limitations really does go to the heart of the matter.

CAN ANYONE NAME AT LEAST "ONE THING" SOMEONE DOESN'T BECOME OFFENDED BY, INSULTED BY, ANGERED BY, OR THEIR FEELINGS ARE HURT?

I personally am convinced. Our nation of WHINERS, and WUSSES has become a WORLD CENTER OF MENTAL ILLNESS ON STEROIDS.

I agree. I've never been into picking on people without cause which is usually in defense. Nowadays when some fragile little creampuff will go home and hang him/herself over it?

On the other hand, as a jarhead, "Get that fat, f-ing, lardbucket you carry around in your pants moving" or words to that effect is daily fare If you are a fatbody in the Marines, your life will be Hell. Just the way it is. And if you're holding up the unit? There's place worse than Hell called "Pork Chop Platoon" and you will be a guest for a minimum 2 weeks.

People like Mahr is addressing? No sympathy. He's not talking medical, hereditary and such. He's talking gluttonous sloths who think we should celebrate their pride in being gluttonous sloths. Sorry, but if one is 5 ft tall and weights 250, perhaps the bikini is NOT okay?
