Don't touch the no no's

i dont want a skeleton but otherwise that's true. being overweight shows you don't care much for your body and a lack of willpower

Maverick, your earlier "murika" post pretty much describes a drawing of George Lucas I did for laugh's one year. Except replace the cake with princess Leia and a stormtrooper action figure he's playing with.

I'm gonna go there and say that not all the south are like that and not all the north aren't. Also obesity is a rising trend global and very much in america as a whole. Not all obese people are rednecks

^I second this notion! It's not concentrated more in certain areas. Obesity is a nationwide epidemic.

@Maverck, I know what "Murcia" is. Especially with how often I've jokingly used it with my friends. I can definitely understand how people get the whole "hur dur, the south are dumb, dur durr hur". Doesn't help that I live in the south and I've seen a lot of it first hand, but I've also traveled around and seen other places and, yeah... It's not just some sort of isolated incident. A lot of it is that the unhealthier food choices are cheaper than getting something that's actually healthy.

meow_tron I take some major offense to that, guess what I'm a little over weight and care a lot about my body, I've been trying to get rid of this extra weight for years, I've gone on diets, I've worked out with trainers, I play sports with my friends and I was mocked and self conscious for years up until recently. Now that I'm older the last couple years I've learned to except my self the way I am, I still work out, I still try and eat healthy hell I've nearly cut beef and pork out of my diet and almost all fast food. I am not lazy, I do care about my body and been doing a lot of work to try and get and stay healthy. It's a lot easier for some people to stay skinny than others my room mate for example he eats junk food all the time, doesn't work out at all and yet he is still in a healthy shape, I don't no how he does it but it doesn't matter I'm fine being me but I get really agitated when people say they can't like some one just because of their wait. Some of the best looking people on the out side are the least healthy for real they can eat junk food and don't work out and yet they can still look decent, while others like myself have to actually work to try and look in a healthy weight. You don't have to be attracted to bigger people but at least respect what we have to go through to even try and meet the American standard of a good looking person. Given there are certain people who are lazy and maybe don't care about their weight but I'll speak for my self here I for one struggle everyday trying to better my self. Rant over hate if you guys want but I've been bullied and self conscious about my weight since I was a kid and I'm tired of people thinking over weight people are only over weight because they are lazy or don't try to change things, it's hard to get healthy damn it!

@ Maverick, I might have phrased what I said wrong but I know that it's the accent... @ Soulxevans, yeah I knew WAY too many people like that... They're just those lucky people blessed with that gift of a god like metabolism. It doesn't help that there's a certain image everyone, not just guys, has to kind of meet in each other's eyes. I've gotten to that point where I've learned to, essentially, screw what everyone else thinks about me and be who I am both physically and personality wise. It just wound up with me being a bit more ballsy in certain situations that I wouldn't be for the most part besides getting along better with people. People should be more accepting and understanding of others, but that can take some time depending on the person because a lot of it is that person and how they see things. Some people are more open to others and some might not be. A lot of that is also just who you are. It's like how you can't really help what kind of person you're attracted to, that's just how it is. I'll go ahead and say I find skinnier girls more attractive, kind of like what meow-tron said but reverse genders, but that doesn't automatically mean I look down on other women. It's just what I find attractive and it's all just part of the brain and what it, well... "wants" me to find attractive. We all feel how we do about certain things because of this one organ and it's pretty damn hard to think, or even make yourself think or feel a different way because this one thing pretty much makes us who we are. Sweet Jesus I wrote a lot...
