Fat people should/is be placed in their own groups??

Do you think that over weight-fat people should be placed in their own "group" since 99% of over weight people are discriminated against and put through hate crimes and get rude remarks/ treated as 'Not Normal, Not Human, A waste of space."





Do you agree that fat people are discriminated against and are victums of hate more then gays, lesbiens, bi's, trangendereds, blacks, whites, reliogous and the handycap?





How many times in your life have you heard people making fun of a fat person? How many times have you made rude comments or put downs towards fat people?





Do you think you are BETTER then fat people? Do you think LESS of fat people? When will fat people have to no longer take the abuse they go through everyday? Would you HELP them fight for their rights as a human and to be treated equally?

Fat people should/is be placed in their own groups??
I am going to attempt to answer all of your questions in the order you wrote them.


1.I am not sure what you mean by their own group, maybe you mean legally, if so I do not since being fat is too variable and could change at any time. Plus there is no official/legal definition for fat.


2.I agree that fat people are discriminated against, but I can't say if its more than the groups you should mention. There is a difference between most of those.


gays, lesbians, bi's, blacks, whites, and the handy-capped don't have a choice, the rest including fat people do.


3.I cannot count the number of times I have heard or made comments about fat people, it is alot though.


4.I think I am healthier and more attractive than fat people, so yes I guess I do think I am better than.


5.It depends how fat they are, I mean I have fat male friends %26amp; i don't think less of them. However I don't have any grossly fat or obese friends and do think less of them.


6. I don't know, perhaps they will always suffer.


7. No why should they be treated equally when they are different, it makes no sense.
Reply:Are you overweight or are you just obsessed with overweight people? The only 5 questions you have posted are about overweight people
Reply:no. it shouldn't, it is like segregation. It is UNETHICAL to do that. what if your MOM, DAD, YOU as well or your Sibling?





Take people consideration if they make fun of FAT people. Just think of them as not your level or they are uneducated people. Then see there is a peace after all =)
Reply:OMG I cannot believe I am reading this!!!
Reply:dude this is just dumb. i am a fat man and i have never been made fun of cause if they tried to i would eat them.








yum yum yum yum more food

Reply:it is their fault they are fat. they can change it. all they need to do is exercise and eat healthy.
Reply:Fatties rule!!!!! My brother is fat and he like being called fatty.
Reply:i love over weight people now im not one my self but i think over weight people are always 10x more out going...


and i dont think there should be hate crimes against over weight or gays or any thing if people are happy the way they are why should any one else have a problem with it all you know the AS* holes makin fun of these people prob have some thing very wrong with them selves and they are trying to feel better!!


and to be honest my self as one person couldnt help i can just be nice and polite as always and as for me being better HAHAHA i think over weight people have more insite to the world and can help and yeah screw all the bums who pick on every one else
Reply:Unless you are morbidly obese, I don't think people really pay attention to you. Since most of the population is over weight it doesn't make sense that they would be the most discriminated group of people.


I think America needs to get off the bigger is better mentality and get rid of all the low fat foods. It seems like ever since they started introducing the low fat stuff we have gotten bigger and bigger instead of smaller. We need to get back to more natural food instead of all the over processed junk they sell now and stop super-sizing our fast food. It's called a Value Meal, but that's a bit of a joke isn't it? It may be cost effective in the short term, but look at the health care expenses it ends up costing you if you eat them all the time.
Reply:I don't think your in the right mind. R u crazy, R u dumb, or R u stupid. This is the dumbest question I've read on this site.


take a hike.
Reply:i think over weight people are in a group of their own, but i do not agree with it. there are some things over weight people cannot do but 'normal' sized people can but everyone deserves a fair chance at everything. athletics and sports for example, the 100 meter sprint, an over weight person may not be as successful as someone who is at the normal weight for their size but darts, 'the viking' is one of the worlds best players but he is rather big so from that alone you can see there are some instances when over weight people can succeed more than other people of a smaller size.





I do not think less of 'fat' people I would help them fight to be treated equally. I do not think im better than 'fat' people and they shlould no longer have to suffer from abuse everyday.
Reply:how would your mom feel like
Reply:i didn't even finish reading this and i all ready don't like it!!!! i think you are saying this cause maybe your ex's was overweight and left you!!!!! don't start putting us beautiful women in groups cause you cant handle us,but its ok,your young mined anyways!!!!!
Reply:being fat doesn't make you a bad person,it's bad for your health, and no one should make fun of anyone at all, none of use are perfect
Reply:I don't agree with any of the above. I think how a society treats fat people depends on the culture....not every culture treats fat people poorly
Reply:You are not normal, you are stupid... u are probably fat. get a life
Reply:Fat people are the same as regular people, they just stand out more. Those people who go out of their way to make them feel bad are simply acting out on something terrible in their own lives. Perhaps they were dropped as an infant, or they were picked last in kickball. The reality is: Who cares? If someone wants to be a jackass, he'll/she'll will get what's coming to them. We are all humans(some less than others) so let's just get along. And, if you see someone making fun of a big person, will get in a swing for me?
Reply:sure why not,, and we should put people that hang out on answer websites into their own group also,
Reply:People should not be "grouped" period. Think about it logically, would you want to be labeled? No one does, but it happens. There is much in the way of discrimination in this world, unfortunately, many people are affected by it.
Reply:they can change it. u cant change color of skin, etc
Reply:People fit or do not fit in due to many reasons, and some discriminated against more than others. Just because someone is overweight does not mean they should be singled out. Nor should they be considered for special grouping. Personality, hygiene, dress, etc., all have factors which add to or detract from the acceptance of people who have weight problems when it comes to identifying with others
Reply:A lot of people can't change their body. Hormones and heridity can keep people from loosing weight. A lof of people don't have money for wegith loss surgery, so to say they can simply snap their fingers and change it is shallow.


I am 5'5", 200 lbs, if you know anything about women's clothing you'll be shocked to learn that I wear a size 12 or 14... where as most people My height and weight wear 3 or four sizes larger!


I work out 4 days a week for one hour and I HATE GOING TO THE GYM! Nothing makes me sadder than to work my *** off on the eliptical for an hour and after 3 months I've only lost 6 lbs! It kills me!


I am classified as "obease" by weight charts... but i certianly don't look at it. I know how it feels to look in the mirror and not like what you see... I can't imagine being as large as some of the people I see every day. The struggles they must go through! I think that we as a human race need to open our minds to others. I think that one day weight will just be another thing... but it won't be in our generation.


The best thing we can do as a society is to teach our children, as well as ourselves, to be more sensitive to others... wight, race, gender, religion and anything else that makes someone "different"
Reply:Hey friend, cool down. Try looking at the brighter side. I absolutely understand how you feel, because i was once very fat before.


Everytime during reccess time, fat students like us are not allowed to eat and we had to jog or run while our skinny friends eat all they want and never seem to gain any weight! Sometimes, mean guys will tease us and shout "Ha ha ha!


F A T S O" and humiliate us... Its super depressing...





I never ever made fun of fat person because i know how it feels to be ill treated at.





For me, i was just too sick of people teasing me fat like a hippo, so i began to eat healthily and walk more.





I'm not sure about you, but i just hate the word excercise. I just don't like it at all. But if i just walk more, like taking the stairs instead of the lift and walk to school to enjoy the fresh air, wind and sun, i don't feel like i'm working out at all.





For the past few years i've shed off about 10Kg and currently feel more confident and happy.





That's why, for my friends who are fat and feel insecure, i encourage them to enjoy their life, eat healthily and walk more.





Have a nice day ^_^
Reply:You can control this problem. Just get together with some guys and work out!!
Reply:Yes Heavy ppl are discriminated against.....I hear ppl calling other people ugly names because of their weight on a pretty regular basis.....it's sad...


when my son was 8 years old he was a little chubby (not even that much) he was playing in the front yard and a car load of teenager's drove by yelling an insult about his weight at him...due to his being blind this frightened him so badly he panicked and tried to run....he was injured in the process and had to get stitches.....my husband was so angry I could not stop him and my oldest son (17 at the time) from jumping in the car and chasing the teens down.....I do not know what happened when they caught them (they told me not to worry about it) my little boy didn't do anything to cause this. I know the teens didn't know my son was blind but that just goes to show you that you never know as much about someone your making fun of as you think you do.





Don't feel too bad for my son....I decided that I never wanted him to fear what he couldn't see again...I taught him to skateboard and ride a bike.(in unobstructed area) so he could feel a sense of freedom like everyone else...he's 14 1/2 now and is only limited by his imagination...his doctor's are amazed by him....he is wonderful....
Reply:i think you're blowing it out of proportion.





hate is hate and most of America is obese, and no i dont' think anyone whoes over weight is discriminated against atleast not in my neck of the woods..
Reply:Have you noticed that almost everybody is above their ideal weight?
Reply:the difference between fat people and all of those other groups you mentioned is that fat people have a choice whether they want to be fat or not. gays, transgendered, blacks, whites, handicap people do not make the decision to become that way. i think it is fair to make fun of someone for something they can control, like weight. but to make fun of someone for something they can't control is unfair. fatties make the decision everyday to stuff their freakishly fat faces and not exercise. if you really hate being fat, quit whining and PUT THE FORK DOWN! if you like yourself for who you are, MORE PROPS TO YA!
