[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;17279313]An opinion saying people that choose to live a certain way is "wrong" is valid, albeit, stupid as shit.[/QUOTE]
"Valid" but "stupid as shit", yep, that makes sense
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;17279346]As if anyone should have personal freedoms.[/QUOTE]
You make it sound like I want to restrict people in some way.
[QUOTE=Uberkitty;17279354]As always there's a happy medium between overweight and underweight. Of course if you're underweight verging on anorexia it's unhealthy, and of course if you're overweight to the point where you can't walk it's unhealthy. Being five or ten pounds overweight or underweight never hurt anyone.[/QUOTE]
This. This.

You do. No one can be fat because you don't want to pay for it. You're saying, people can't be a certain way because you won't pay for it. Not really your right.
[QUOTE=Billiam;17279335]Or they can smoke, drink, and eat as much as they want, as long as they can afford their rates, and want their government health-care[/QUOTE]
Adjusted for the masses.

I want, for the third time, increased public education with the aim of discouraging obesity so that the healthcare system isn't overburdened. Nothing more.
[QUOTE=Billiam;17279294]This is true. Though why not design the system, so that when a person has a chronic condition, his rates don't go up for a problem related to that condition?[/QUOTE]
My grandfather has chronic leg pain. He pays for his painkillers and his medicine. TOO much people would get free treatment.

This sounds reasonable.

Hrm... this would overburden the system as well.

Not how you phrased it the first two times, but sure, that's fine.

[quote=Post #146]I already said I don't think being fat should be illegal or whatever, so no, I'm not advocating "infringing on the others lifestyles". I'm for public education and programmes aimed at decreasing obesity levels and helping people be more fit.[/quote]
Anyway, my eyes are about to fall out, goodnight guys.

The only way to stop it is to declare a 'War on Obesity'.

Eye dislocation is a serious medical condition, why are you raising my taxes like this

I weigh barely over 100 pounds. People should be more like me. Underweight!

That's almost as bad. I'm 6'1 and 190lbs, and a lot of that is muscle thankfully, but I still have some fat on there anyways, I'm still one of the healthiest person I know.
