Corporate Responsiblity for Obesity

So you're still justifying his behavior. Being verbally abusive does
not justify murder.

worth looking around for a low-cal breakfast.

This can be shortened to: "I like eating." And that is the root of
the problem.

Not even close. I have no idea how you extrapolated that from what I
wrote.

In both cases, it's a double standard.

They're not even remotely comparable.

And I never claimed my feelings on the subject are based in logic.

Well... yeah... duh... what are you doing for your next trick?

I like eating. I've liked eating ever since I can remember. I don't know
anyone who doesn't like to eat. Were you born on this planet, or what?

And some people just get ****ed when people start calling them names.
This
particular person is about the worst I've seen for a while, in terms of
falling
into such a mode in such a short time. Have you seen the language
she/it
has
been using since I killfiled her/it? I see this stuff when I use google
to
look at the thread - boy, real Tonya Harding trailer-trash talk.
Prolly,
she's
got biker tattoos, too...

And maybe it's a cultural thing. But then that wouldn't make you the
perpetual victim you seem to be, first of the evil corporations and then
of
some women on usenet. Hard as it is to believe for you holier-than-thou
types that are apparently perfect, but some of us live in a culture where
swearing is commonplace and some of us grew up that way.

There is general swearing and then there is insulting. I killfiled the
insulter, and just pointed out that she/it is liable to get hurt that way
if
they talk to someone like that in the same room.

There you go again. You seem to be the only one who thinks people go around
punching out other folks' teeth for things that are said. You definitely
hang around with the wrong people. You are wrong. Your view of the world
is that of an adolescent. Grow up.

As for the victim thing, the American People, who are getting fatter and
fatter, might just be the victims. Not, me - I don't buy the huge
portions of
things.

The American People are not the victims. You are the perpetual victim.
First you were victimized by your liquid diet (that you shouldn't have been
on in the first place and then did it wrong), then by the corporations who
you think should all become altruistic and screw the bottom line thus
demonstrating your ignorance of economics, business and general how the
world works, and finally by people in Usenet who can see you for exactly
what you are and call you out on it.

You act like a 12 year old - whining about how the world doesn't cater to
your wishes and making enough excuses for your lack of self-control, ****
poor planning, and bad choices without accepting the fact that the
responsibility lies solely with YOU as an alleged adult.

Yeah, its unlikely, and so is the likelihood that she/it would even act
like
that in the same room with someone that could and might punch her/its
lights
out. IOW, she's/it's mean when she/it knows there are no consequences -
IOW,
she's "enjoying" usenet, like I originally said - being mean and knowing
there
will never be any consequences.

You're the one that keeps bringing up this punching thing. I don't know
what kind of immature trash you hang out with, but I've always been
outspoken and not afraid to speak my mind and have yet to be physically
attacked for it since I was about 14 when I broke some girl's nose after
she
jumped me.

Well, good for you. But speaking your mind is different from calling
someone
names.

Well, the guy I called an asshole yesterday didn't hit me. He actually
apologized for being one. I didn't lose a single tooth over the incident.

I don't hang out with _anyone_ who would do such a thing, but... that
doesn't
mean that there aren't such people in the world. If you look around, you
can
spot 'em, usually. They're not all that rare.

Again, if you hang out in the kinds of lowbrow places that meth-heads and
drunks frequent, sure. As an adult with actual standards, I tend to be able
to have good enough judgement to avoid that kind of stuff and knowing Dally
like I do, she hangs with a much better crowd too.

Exactly! But you aren't going to get through to this one. It's obvious
based on the litany of posts that he's got the mentality of a 12 year old
and doesn't actually understand the complexities of real life.

Naw, that was no threat... it was just making her/it aware that a mouth
like
that could get them in trouble (but not from me... I'd just walk
away...).
I
actually know of a female who was like that, who is dead now, shot, and
I
always have to wonder if the guy that did it just got tired of her
mouth.

So then that would be a good enough excuse to kill someone? You really
do
have some very serious issues.

No, it wasn't any sort of excuse, the guy was just a criminal type.

Being verbally abousive does not justify murder. Period. That you don't
get that still says volumes about you. Your weight is the least of your
major issues.

It's not Dally he wants to beat up; it's me. Because I told him he was
lazy and ignorant.

Well I don't know much about you but I'd imagine you aren't hanging out with
meth heads and drunks either.

I don't like to eat. I eat because I have to and because hunger
occasionally drives me to it.
