in the world we nekkid apes evolved in over umpteen thousand years, were there a lot of fatties runnin' around chasin' high-fructose mammals ? ? ?
hee hee hee
for myself, i compare ALL our 'modern' practices and activities to what we evolved doing; the more we deviate from those pre-modern modes of activity and consumption, the more concerned i get for our collective health and sanity...
ho ho ho
other than zoos, are there a lot of fat predators (or omnivores) out there in nature ? ? ? hmmm, i'm sure that isn't a valid point, but what do i know, my brain is too fat...
ha ha ha
no matter, when the hard rain comes, i don't think there will be many fat people left...
(they're so deliciously well-marbled, yummmmmm ! ! !)

i still love you, biggie...
hee hee hee
unfortunately, we stupid, FAT, lazy amerikans have been playing 'let's pwetend' for so long, we don't know any other way to play...
ho ho ho
when you start throwing around actual logical thinking, making hard choices, and rejecting the infantalization of amerika, you start making enemies real fast...
ha ha ha
what? we can't eat cotton candy all day and not get fat and rot our teeth ? waaaaahhh, i like cotton candy! waaahhh we can't sit around being passive observers of teevee and stupid fucking inertnet tubes all day and still be fit as a fiddle ? ? ? waaahhhh, that's *hard*... waaahhh, we can't let 'professional' politicians beholden to power elites make all our decisions for us and not be screwed over ? waaahhh, i don't want to do any work to maintain a participatory small-dee democracy, it's h-a-r-d ! ! ! waaahhh, we can't have our empire hopscotching around the world killing brown people sitting on our resources without the rest of the world thinking we're imperialist scum ? waaahhh, i want cheap plastic crap to fill up the ocean after i throw it out in a month... waaahhh ! ! !

bunch of spoiled, whacked-out babies with stupid priorities...

(and to all the fatties who can't help but be fat: let us assume you DO have some 'thyroid' (sic) problem or some other genetic predisposition to being a fat pig, now just WHAT percentage of all the fat pigs in amerika do you REALISTICALLY think have those sorts of problems, and what percentage of fat pigs are fat pigs because they stuff their pieholes ? ? ?)

...in the same sentence ! ! !
NEVER NEVER NEVER
i don't care *how* rational you think she is; how self-confident she is; or how open and honest she is; i don't care how good a 'body-image' you think she has; i don't care how well you think you know her: NEVER, EVER comment, mention, aside, observe, discuss, think about, or even look sideways at the topic of weight...
hee hee hee
(*except* anonymously online from an untraceable account, preferably on another planet... based on a true story...)
ho ho ho
as one perceptive poster pointed out, it's not like men don't have their own body issues, etc; we just don't endlessly talk about it, tediously worry about it, endlessly blah-blah-blah about it, constantly torture ourselves about it, and -in short- OBSESS ABOUT IT, ALL DAY, EVERY DAY, IN PUBLIC, TO ANYONE/EVERYONE...
ha ha ha
pisses me off that WOMAN put a LOT of this fat bullshit off on men, when it is THEY who put this obsession crap on themselves... just like makeup, weird stiletto heels, evil pantyhose, and other stupid shit that woman perpetrate upon themselves...
ak ak ak
most men i know have NEVER liked makeup, NEVER cared much about weird, fancy, 'sexy', stylish clothing , and really and truly don't give a shit about 90-99% of the 'beauty regimen' crap YOU CHOOSE to put yourselves through for the approval of your fellow chicas, NOT US INSENSITIVE NEANDERTALS...

nope, the answer simply can't be that we live in a velvet police state where automatic and unquestioning obeisance to 'our' (sic) police is the only option...
nope nope nope
sweet geezus, the cowardly cohort who simply refuse to acknowledge we have the police tail wagging the citizenry dog is simply astounding to behold...
wow wow wubbzy
go back to the glass teat and make sure you do nothing to make the donut eaters unhappy...

...is the mere existence of so-called 'executive signing statements' ! ! !
hee hee hee
nevermind that they can be 'secret' ! ! !
(which makes no sense to me, logically speaking: if kongresskritters pass a law, pres signs it, *but* does a secret signing statement, *HOW* are the people who are supposed to uphold The Law (tm) supposed to know that the unitary executive's secret signing statements said 'Not', or whatever ? ? ?)
ho ho ho
no, i'm sorry: the mere fact that Serious Punditocracy, Political Leadership, and Media Mavens either outright ignore, derisively dismiss, or attempt laughable logic or other authoritarian rationalizations over the issue of 'executive signing statements', is only proof positive of how morally vacuous the players in this sad kabuki play have become...
ha ha ha
geez, stupid sheeple have been swallowing camels for decades, *now* they're straining at gnats ? ? ?
