Here's how you keep fat people fat

Al Roker, the weatherman in NYC, also had his stomach stapled for the same reason. If you saw the TV special on it, the most enlightening thing he said was that, no matter what he said he was doing, he was sneaking late night food (and lots of it). He finally accepted that he couldn't do it by willpower, for whatever reason, and opted to go the surgery route, to good results. He also had the balls to say that any fat person who says they are happy being fat is a liar.

James,

Yes, I am the same guy who was posting as "Flagpole" not too long ago. I was a bit grumpier there for a while as my running was not going well, but I'm more reasonable now. I recognized a failing in myself, and I am now rectifying it.

A good day to you James.

Flagpole,

I thought this was a kindler, gentler Flagpole. I like it.

As for all those fat kids, well, therein lies the great irony. When I was young there was the "one fat kid" in school on whom everyone picked. Nowadays half of them are fat and so it seems like a normal thing. Last year I was at a hotel swimming pool where this really hot jailbait girl was hanging all over and kissing this enormously obese teenage boy. I said to my friend, "What's he got that we don't know about?" My friend said, "Nothing. He's probably the thinnest kid in his school." Enough said.

you guys are all missing the point. the point is that red-haired people are indeed minorities and we demand reparations for the discrimination and ill-treatment we have been recieving.

Well said Evel!

Also, how do you feel about homo's?

There's a Man-Boy Love Association (MBLA) that advocates sex between men and boys. That's right, boys. Want one of them alone with one of your children or nephew?

They spread HIV and AIDS.

Most pedophiles are gay.

That shouldn't suprise you. Deviant behavior begets deviant behavior.

Frank,

This kinder, gentler Flagpole is the core of my personality, so I expect it to stay around for the most part, and I'll deal with injuries and bad things some other way.

As far as the fat kid story goes, I don't doubt it - I see lots of really really overweight high school kids, and it's just sad - they will miss out on so much. I do wonder when it starts though. In my daughter's kindergarten class last year, only one kid (a girl) in the class was really overweight. Her mother is HUGE and she is going down the same path. I wonder if she can get ahold of it in a healthy way when someday she realizes that she's fat.

How stupid.

There's more pornographic material is of females and most of the observers are male. A high percentage is of young girls.

Most "sex" crimes are male on female.

Most number of people with HIV/AIDS are heterosexuals, and they remain the fastest growing group of new cases.

Most pedophiles are NOT gay. They are men, looking for young female to prey upon.

Most "sex" crimes are performed by males and the victims are female.

Sexual orientation apparantly has little to do with your criminal choices. grow up Piper.

What no one is mentioning is that most fat people are also very dumb. They usually smell and are almost always liberal democrats.

So next time you see a fat person remember that they are a very dumb, smelly, fat liberal democrat.

Republicans are intelligent, trim individuals. Just look at President Bush, Wejo, Rojo, malmo, and Trent Lott!

and Rush Limbaugh

Thank you my friend. How do you think I feel about homo's with all these hot chicks running around the mansion? It's unAmerican. I was the all American hero so I don't cotton to all that shit. I couldn't possibly care any less about what they do. I'm just tired of them having to tell us all about it. That's why I let everyone know how I carry on with these hotties of mine. I'm just fighting back. God bless you my friend and God bless America!

Rush Limbaugh?

Great reply, 16x. Bible thumpers, generally, make up their own facts to fit what they preach and ignore those facts that don't fit so nicely. In they end they forget one of the most important teachings of Jesus ...

judge not, lest you be judged.

As Homer Simpson would say "Mmmmm.....bacon".

I would also think that every individual has a scientific 'set-point' in terms of their weight that each body aims toward. If someone was dealt genetic cards of a high set-point, they will struggle to keep weight off (It can be done however through exercise & diet).

Quite right. Your body has a set-point it struggles to maintain. BUT, that set-point can be moved. Now, natural history (or God) has made human bodies much, much more efficient at storing extra weight in good times against the lean times. Thus, the set-point can move upward relatively quickly and be lowered much more slowly. Your body wants to keep the weight on in case it's a month before the next wooly mammoth is killed. Thus, to lose weight and keep it off, you have to stay with it for months and months and, really, pretty much make it your way of life. A few months of dieting can be destroyed by a few weeks of gluttony. But, a year's worth of watching how you eat and exercise and care for yourself can help see you through the unholy holiday food craze much more safely.

Peter's Piper,

Actually, most pedophiles are NOT gay as 16x said, but even if it were tue, then what does that have to do with anything? The pedophile part is the sickness - most gays - in fact the GREAT MAJORITY of them are not pedohiles - it is unfair to link the two. I bet that most pedophiles have brown hair too - so what?

Homosexuals are ADULTS who are attracted to other ADULTS of the same sex. The vast majority of pedophiles are ONLY attracted to children, and so by definition, they are not gay - even if it is a man who prefers little boys to litle girls - he's just a sick bastard. Pedophilia has to do with many things including power, immaturity, inability to form adult relationships, and on and on and on. Homosexuality has NONE of that anti-social behavior attached to it. They are just people who are attracted to other adults of the same sex and find pedophilia as disgusting as you do.

Just curious, but why are you kept awake at nights thinking about what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own homes? Are you tempted or titallated or something?

Former Prime Minister Trudeau said years ago "the state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation".

So are you saying teenagers can't be gay?

Trudeau also said, "fuddle duddle," or something like that... and I believe he have the public the finger on occasion, so I dunno you'd wanna take his word at face value.

;-)

(but wasn't he a also a fat, totalitarian, elitist snob intellectual, francophone, closet homosexual, dope-smoking, communist? ... well, he was probably three or possibly four of those things, but so what?)
