When you are of such carriage, why not just shiat in the woods and wipe with a rabbit?

Not being able to sit on a toilet seat without fear of cracking the thing is yet another reason to look into healthier eating habits, regular exercise and and goodly dose of self control (most folks who are in such shape have eaten themselves that way.)

I will accept fat people when they stop blocking AN ENTIRE GROCERY STORE AISLE!

I suggest a tractor tire for a toilet seat.

I was suprised to read how many people also cracked their toilet seats.....didn't realize it was such a huge problem. You would think it would motivate one to lose a hundred pounds or so....

 
SuperCMC 2002-06-16 11:51:10 PM  
May I suggest adult diapers if you are large enough to crack a farking toilet seat?

"I mentioned in another post that I like to eat prunes, and that just makes my doodies a whole lot messier."

Horrible, the worst comment I have ever been subjected to reading. Not to mention the image of a 450 pound person firing out a giant shiat spray.

 
Grateful_Phish 2002-06-16 11:52:29 PM  
National Association for Acceptance of Fat Americans.. like really, what is that? A bunch of fat americans that accept each other.. I don't know who's making who feel better there but is that really helping anyone? Heh, how many people that are regular weight are with this thing?

"I had a custom seat made for my home. It cost a little bit of money, but well worth it. At 460+, my *** just doesn't sit right on a regular sized throne. I had my custom one made of stainless steel, with a marble seat to stand strong under the intense stress it takes everyday. I love it,.. especially since it holds more water. I mentioned in another post that I like to eat prunes, and that just makes my doodies a whole lot messier. "
That is just sad. I would think it would save people more money in the long run if they just got off their ass and exercised once in a while.

"National Association for Acceptance of Fat Americans"

Fat people don't deserve to be accepted. It's not like they have a true physical or mental handicap that prevents them from being treated as normal individuals. Fat people, for the most part, are just a group of lazy bastards who eat Big Mac combo meals five times a day. Put down the milkshake, turn off the TV and come join the rest of us in a little place I like to call "reality".

When I try to walk through the grocery store, and can't because some 400 pound heifer is blocking the isle, then i get to the register and some fat ass is knocking shiat off the side, my "acceptance" of fat ass-i mean fat assholes dips a little.

fat.
i'm fat.
and as a fat person, i will say this one thing
that site is populated by the most pathetic people on this planet.
you know folks who use their welfare checks to pay for their crack habit? not as pathetic as this site.
you know people who screw sheep in alabama? not as pathetic as this site.
you know people who beg for money in the subway? not as pathetic as this site.
this site is the epitomy of all that is pathetic.
because it totally dodges the most important issue that fat people need to realize.

if you're fat, who's fault is it? yours.
what does that mean?
if you can't find a toilet seat that doesn't break under your weight, who's fault is it? yours.
if you have to pay double for an airplane ticket because you're fat, who's fault is it? yours.
if you can't get a date because you're a fat, disgusting, piece of doo doo, it's your fault!

i can say these things because i am fat.
i weigh 340 lbs.
the reason i haven't lost weight is because i didn't have the willpower to do so.
it's not my "special biology."
it's not my "genes"
it's not my "exceedingly slow metabolism."
it is my fault.
and that's the bottom line
the fact that people would ignore that
and put up a site like this
pees me off.
i'm done.

It's like in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, where Duke and Dr. Gonzo are at that drug convention... and while watching a ridiculous movie about drugs, there's this 400 pound couple making out?

That level of disgust has been reached with this.

Give your sandwich to Calista Flockheart, you fat bastards!

 
xerqu 2002-06-17 12:08:42 AM  
Is the first step to acceptance calling them fat americans?

 
Master_Mind 2002-06-17 12:10:13 AM  
Well, I will qualify my jokes above by saying I can do fat jokes.... I lost over 60lbs last summer, and am working off the last 15lbs this summer to get to my post-Boot Camp (USMC) weight from 1986. I now fit all my old uniforms! Until I lost the weight, I never realized the scope of my weight gain over the past decade; married life will do that to you.

Yes, it takes will power and a lot of hard work... I don't diet (just eat less quantities, pick slightly healthier lunches than McDonalds and STOP THE SUPERSIZING PEOPLE!!) but I do ride a Recumbant Bike 1 hour every night, regardless of whether I feel like it or not. Different things work for different people... if you feel you have weight to lose, find out what works and STICK WITH IT.

That's my PSA for the night.

 
SuperCMC 2002-06-17 12:11:01 AM  
I'll second that. Stevetursi deserves a hero tag

"I mentioned in another post that I like to eat prunes, and that just makes my doodies a whole lot messier."

Now i thought this article was pretty humorous, but no...just no...somebody needs to shoot him...twice, just in case if the first bullet doesnt penetrate. Man that is one of THE grosest thing that has ever been put into my head.

Yeah, if we didn't have so many modern conveniences and so few natural predators I'll bet those people wouldn't be so fat. Hell, I bet we'd all be much thinner - or at least in better shape. What we really need is one of those I-Bombs to destroy all technology coupled with some kind of mass tiger invasion... so no one could drive anywhere, and we'd have to run at top speed at all times to avoid tiger attacks.

Stevetursi, you ski at 340 lbs?

 
Arkaine 2002-06-17 12:13:54 AM  
I found this on another thread:

"Although I am morbidly obese, I think every form of the human body is beautiful, and as such I like to display mine whenever possible. This of course violates just about every indecent exposure law I can think of, but I was recently told that a person is in violation only if their genitals are exposed. Being that a large layer of fat from my abdomen shields my genitals from public view, can I rightfully parade around my neighborhood buck naked?"

Please people, lock your doors, shut your windows, and never go outside again.

 
Phill 2002-06-17 12:14:47 AM  
The urge to troll these boards and fill them with fat jokes is nearly irresistible.

 
cfporn.com 2002-06-17 12:15:07 AM  
Dead on, Stevetursi.

Like you, i'm a big guy. A little heavier than you, in fact.

I accept that its a lifestyle choice that I've made... and its basically cause I dont like the alternative of trying to 'eat right' and 'exersize' which to me just means 'starvation' and 'constant pain'

But, to the point.

I will say that for other people, it can be a 'bigger' problem (pun intended) and they might actually find it much more difficult to seriously lose weight.

These people's lives are miserable enough with or without your 'acceptance' but when a pathetic excuse of a human being is suffering, and happens to be blocking your way in a movie theatre... do you think it helps them when you're rude, or stare? Think it helps them when you suggest a diet? Think it helps them when you dont have patience, or the ability to just be nice to them? It doesnt :) I can tell you from experience.

So feel free to feel the way you feel. If you ever meet me, feel free to feel that way about ME as well. But for the love of god, people, keep it inside. Because for the majority of people that have posted in that thread... they're miserable enough.

Miserable enough to where they'd most likely do something, if it worked... ya think? So leave em the fark alone.

 
patton1975 2002-06-17 12:16:11 AM  
If you think that all fat people are fat because of lack of will power, you are sadly mistaken, diabetes can cause obesity, and thyroid problems can cause it, and others, just because you dont personally like fat people gives you no right to call them disgusting, i myself am, 6 foot 6, 440 pounds and an ability to leg press well over 600 pounds, and if you dont like it, tough shiat.

jeremyf 2002-06-17 12:22:08 AM  
fark i'm like 6'3 180 lbs (within "optimal range") and I have a broken toilet seat and know exactly what these guys are talking about with the "butt pinchers".. it hurts like hell!

i've also broken chairs and broke the chain on my playground swing when i was little. i think i was morbidly obese in a past life

 
ez76 2002-06-17 12:22:32 AM  
Once you reach 300 lbs., you don't need a toilet with a durable seat, you need a toilet with gas shocks and 2-cheek independent suspension.

 
SkunkDuster 2002-06-17 12:22:49 AM  
At 6'0', 140lbs, I'm a far cry from fat, but I can sympathise with some of the discussions on the NAAFA boards. Okay, maybe they do have something genetically wrong. It's not for me to judge them.

However, I think some of the posters lose sight of reality in thier quest for fat acceptance. The biggest STFU example I can recall was where one of the posters had complained that they were not allowed to sit in the emergency exit row on a plane. I'm thinking, "It isn't a farking fat accomodation row, it is an farking EMERGENCY EXIT meaning that you need to be able to get that emergency door open and assist people off the plane, not block the damned row".

Some of the threads and comments are quite amusing, but comments like that just make me shake my head.

 
SuperCMC 2002-06-17 12:23:56 AM  
I would just like to add that I lost 100 lbs about 3 years ago. It was all a matter of will power and exercising properly. Now I am 6'5 and weigh 190 lbs. Good night.

 
ToToRoSaN 2002-06-17 12:24:53 AM  
RIVAL: Maybe you (and a bunch of others here) should read this:


http://www.naafa.org/documents/brochures/myths.html


In short, it's simply not true that all fat people are so because of lack of exercise, nor are they all overeaters. Sure, those can be large factors in obesity, but it is possible for some people to eat and exercise as much as a thin person and still retain weight. For example:

http://www.naafa.org/news/fatfitness.html


This lady, who works out six days a week and does aerobics for hours on end was told that she could not be hired as an aerobics instructor, not because she couldn't do aerobics, but because she didn'd look like a good 'role model' for excercisers. God forbid someone see an active, overweight person so that we could dispell a few of these myths.

I realize that I'm getting into rant territory, but this just bugs me. Why are people so happy to ignore something as glaringly obvious as the fact that different people have different metabolisms just so they can be arseholes to strangers by saying crass things like 'put down the food and exercise'? Some people eat a ton and don't gain weight. Some people just have to do light exercise to keep wieght off, others aren't so lucky. Deal.

 
Max Load 2002-06-17 12:27:57 AM  
Some kind of Carbon fiber-Titanium-Vermiculite Composite.
Laugh all you want. I'm going to make money off of fat people a different way.

But not any more!"
