I agree with what you say about the fat acceptance thing and there should be something to find otu if it is genetic.hypothetical fact said:
Gender Selection should banned outright and never spoken of again some people would be happy to have a child in the first place never mind specifically a boy or a girl. Even besides that Imagine if the world was 1 sex(which could happen with women only because of engineering of sperm). Imagine how boring that would be and some people who were straight as gay can be a choice or the way your born those people would just go there life never being truly happy with a massive hole in their life.
I competely agree with Australia as it lead to disproportionately gendered population which could eventually lead to the scenario I have stated.
I don't see the big deal with people being overweight. I am overweight but I am also losing weight as well. If someone likes being fat than let them be fat. No one has the right to try and change someone else just because they don't like seeing them that way.
I just say live and let live. If they are not causing harm to others what is the big deal about it?
Isn't the point of having children to be surprised about the gender? Although, if a parent will only love a child because it is a certain gender perhaps they should not be parents.
I have no desire to ever want children so my opinion does not really count.

1. Being really fat is bad for you. However so is being a smoker or drinker. Should people be banned from working jobs during the week because they smoke and drink at other times? If it doesn't affect their work performance I see no reason why fat people should be discriminated against getting a job, or anything else, becasuse of weight. Only if the weight can be shown to actually impede thier ability to do something directly relating to whatever they're being excluded from, should such discrimination be permissible. For instance really obese people in the army is just silly. But a really obese person at a desk job is not such an issue and someone shouldn't be barred from that for that reason alone.hypothetical fact said:
2. Gender selection should be banned everywhere because of disproportionate population issues. Either have a child or don't.
I am completely against fat acceptance, i mean come on. the government should be doing the opposite, the ammount of tax obesity costs in health and welfare each year is REDICULOUS, the money should be being spent elsewhere fat people should be bullied into skinnyness, and dont tell me it isnt doable, obesity runs in my family and from age 10-18 i had problems with my wieght i was at least 20 KGS overweight most of the time. but ive decided to lose weight, it doesnt require great diets, im simply eating less and moving more and im still not extremely skinny but im not far off. its not hard >:{ i mean shit if my 45 year old dad can lose 34 kgs after being overweight most of his adult life then other people can do it too >:{

Um yes, if someone is an alcoholic or drug addict then yes. but yeah also smokers are forced to keep their habit at home pretty much smoking in most public places is illegal so they're also discriminated against in that. Obesity is one of the biggest problems in the world atm.

I don't hate fat people so much as I hate people making silly excuses for their problems. I saw an interview a couple of days ago, where a few fat people were picketing in front of the White House, I forget why. One of the women there said she believed that being fat was just part of the American gene pool. Then they cut to some guy who at least doesn't beat around the bush: he's fat because he eats too much and has no willpower, he freely admits. This man, I can respect. The lady... not so much.
Shut up. being fat is great. except for when the weight (ha!) of your insecurities crashes down on you and you spend hours at a time crying in a corner, eating a can of Pringles. Try the cheddar Pringles; they're delicious!
Im gonna sidestep the fat acceptance and put my 2pence in on gender selection. I dont agree with it, when some gets pregnant its a coin toss, and that is part of the magic, some parents get what they'd prefer the first try some dont.
For example, I want kids and I'd love daughters, but id also like at least one son as well, but if i get all sons or all daughters, id just be happy im able to have kids in the first place.

No, that is the worst thing that could be done. Bullying anyone into anything is wrong, even if you are trying to help them.
You are not being hurt by people who are overweight. Their health is their own. If they want to lose weight than yes I can see where people can help them accomplish their goal. But if someone does not care about being fat than they should not be forced to change.
Just because people do not like the way others look that does not give them the right to try and change that person.
I'm with you OP, fat people who keep whining about how terrible it is to be fat but keep stuffing their face make my toenails itch. but hey, that's what you get for having a consumption society where the highest goal is to have a car so you have to move as little as possible... what is it that americans have against bikes anyway? they're great!
as for the gender selection, I'm against it. I'm in favor of abortion so women who get raped or who accidentally tear their condoms or whose pill doesn't work or anything like that can have it removed. it's wrong when you have random unprotected sex and go 'ah, never mind condoms, i'll just have it removed later.'
but when you decide to have a child, mess with it as little as possible.

To quote the 'The king of chefs and the chef of kings' Careme
'It is my job to cater to your excesses highness, it is your job to curb them'.
In the end obesity falls under two categories; A)Those who have medicinal problems ie hypo-active thyroids etc B)Those who rely too much on food and like the crowned prince Careme catered for, are unable to curb their excesses.
As a chef I am over wieght. I know this, I recognise this and I realise that this is a problem. So I go to the gym, I eat real food not crap, I mind what I consume and in doing so keep my weight down to managable levels.
I also realise that if I don't want my customers to develop cancers, diabetes, foot spurs, arthritus and other joint problems in their knees, heart problems, scirosis of the liver, heart disease from eating too much salt and any array of other maladys that are a symptom of obesity than I try my best to make sure my meals are as healthy as I can manage.

True, I have seen a few chunky NFL and UFC fighters but they tend not to do aswell as the more athletic players.crypt-creature said:
I watch NFL almost never so I probably messed up there, but no biggy.
(Did I ever message you back, I am sure I did).
Well, fat people trying to pitch that some people can't possibly not be fat because they were born that way is about as retarded as people giving fat people a hard time.
Most players that are bigger are either power players or are in positions that almost benefit from their girth. Fighters... they can go either way.omega 616 said:
But Sumo wrestlers are always going to be on the big side!
No worries, any sport where the players aren't in constant motion are bound to have a few big guys/gals on the team.
(Actually, I don't believe you did. I'm a little sad now).
