Are you saying they don't?

Also, you said you don't read my posts, which is obvious, because the whole time, I was saying that I could have been easily born into their shoes, I'm not looking down at them.

Well, I've read that many people who are overweight are victims of childhood molestation. They eat a lot and become purposefully unattractive, so they won't be seen as objects of sexual desire, after such a traumatizing experience.
That said, what about the individuals who are overweight and weren't molested?
Well, maybe a lot of them do lack in self control, and many overcompensate for their empty feeling inside, by overeating.
Here's another theory for you, and this I believe does pertain to some of them.
They say, everything in the world serves a purpose, so what purpose is it serving us to have overweight and obese people to look at?
It seems that as long as we need people to judge for one reason or another, they will be there for us.
Some people need the reassurance that there are more disgusting, more revolting people out there than themselves to help their own self-esteem.
In our sex obsessed society, I'm sure a lot of the chubs pack on the pounds, and think, 'fine, you think whatever you want about me,' and then are able to live probably happier lives than weight obsessed paper-thin models.
I believe there is truth to it's what's inside that matters.
If we didn't need to see overweight people, then we could be happy, and not really even notice them, and then, if we did, we could at least be more sympathetic, and not be so forthcoming in poking fun at them.

They way you speak of obese people is disgusting and look this word up and remember it, PATRONIZING.

Arguing with you is like arguing with a 6 year old. I could make you feel really dumb,

Oh but, please do, I WANNA see you shame me....

Here's another topic: Why do teens almost always rebel against their parents?

Well, the teen age is one where the person is in a transitional state. They're about to break free from the reliance of their parent's and become independent. Your parents still want to parent you, those last few years before you move out, because no matter how much you grow up, they will always be your parents. People should feel privileged to be able to rebel, because that probably means your parents are trying to control you, which at least means they care.
Parents must learn to draw the line, and let their kids become their own person at some point. But, before they draw the line, or before you move out, they want to instill their beliefs into you.
Also, recent scientific studies have shown that the teenager's brain isn't as advanced as once thought, and most teens have an unstoppable need to fit in, and resisting peer pressure is virtually impossible for most of them.
Heh, now I don't feel as bad.

calibur...no such word.

dude. A speaker at my school came to speak to students about the brain and rebellion, all that ****. Not really a philosophy issue again.

All I got from it was don't drink, have sex instead. And masturbate until you pass out, then continue masturbating when you wake up.

I can't speak for everyone but if the parents are anything like you then it's because the parents are bloody morons.

This has nothing to do with philosophy...at all..ever
Society, science, but not philosohy. If ya wanna read good philosophy read about Archimedes, or Morihei Ueshiba

EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A FAT FRIEND

[right-track]

Girls have fat friends to make them look good.

[sleepy jack]

Christ TheUsedToolGuy can you quit fucking speaking for entire groups of people? I didn't have a great childhood and i'm way too thin, I have a friend whos had a way worse childhood then me and hes just as thin as I am, though he is bigger.

Fat people are fat because they're lazy and eat too much. I don't care how shitty your childhood was, you're lazy and you eat too much your childhood won't change that. I'm tired of people blaming they're issues on a bad childhood, I doubt anyone has had a perfect childhood. Seriously "lolz don't send me to jail for killing 17 people I had a bad childhood! Put me in a therapy center that is basically a resort!"

And as for teenagers having an unstoppable need to fit in? Bull, I know alot of people who don't feel any need to fit in, stop with the sweeping generalizations.

Is your next bit of "philosophy" going to be on all black people being thugs and people from the south loving incest?
