Do any of you think she took that as a sign to lose some fucking weight?

That's insane, I never saw a manatee that couldn't swim. It took 6 dudes to pull her out. The waves weren't even that big, looked like a nasty rip current though.

If I was there I would probably watch as she got sucked out to sea. I have a fetish of wanting to see someone die in front of me. It's almost happened twice, but no dice.

I don't understand why obesity is tolerated under federal law.

When I saw the title of this thread I actually thought for a second we were talking about an actual whale instead of some fatass chick.

Japan has an anti-obesity law.

Although I agree with your sentiments on obesity(though I don't think the government should control any aspects of our lives), a big reason why people are so fat is precisely because of the government.

Robb Wolf came up with a great example. Why is an apple more expensive than a Twinkie? An apple grows on a tree, then it's picked, put into a crate and shipped to the market. There are a ton of elements that go into a twinkie; enriched flour, high fructose corn syrup, soy lecithin, hydrogenated soybean oil and on and on. Then there's the energy that goes into processing those ingredients, and the packaging. A Twinkie should be a $1.50 a piece at least.

The reason it's not is because the government subsidizes the shit out of corn, soy and the like. We're paying billions in tax dollars to help these companies turn us in to fat asses. That combined with the governments food pyramid propaganda that has no basis in real science is a horrible combination.

There are many reasons why I am a Libertarian, and nearly everyone of them is because of the government causing more harm than good when it sticks it's hands in to our personal lives and the free market.

am i a bad person because i wanted to watch her drown?

i found the video hilarious but it bothered be those guys helped her out. those guys were fucking with darwinism. she should have drowned as she had no business getting in the water in the first place.

to the fat bitches: just because they make XXXXXL swimsuits doesnt mean you should wear and swim in them

funny video indeed,

That woman is deep in the morbidly obese zone, in fact everyone who appears in this video is a fat ass, exception only to one girl that appears towards the end and one of the heroes

I'd use your same example for how corporations are ruining America. This government is wholly owned and controlled by them, and that's where agribusiness subsidies come from. Good government is good. Bad government is bad. That doesn't mean all government is bad.

I saved a fat guy out of the ocean once - he was just a little bit fatter than the fatter guys that were saving this woman here.

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes
frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Kipling

But see - you can't stop big rich interests from taking over the government. Rich people have been taking over governments as long as there has been recorded history. Thus the only expedient solution is to limit the power of government.

fat jails?

Post: #23

well soup i think fat jails are cruel. however i do not find telling people they are fat cruel. in fact today i was walking by a group of 4 women one was obese and as i passed i heard her speak english. as i passed i said con permisso vaca, which means excuse me cow in spanish. i smiled at her when i said it she smiled back. i wish i was there when her spanish friends told her what i said.

Forget jails, look at Bernie Madoff, he aint learning his lesson in the least. Fat boot camp all the way!
