Abrasively, No. I think were all being fairly respectful. Its not our fault that you are sensitive about your weight.
Blaming obese people, YES. You are not cancerous, you didn't get beaten by a fat stick, you eat to much, and don't exercise enough. I'm in the same boat. If you were a meth junkie, would you still claim to be a victim of outside forces? What if you were addicted to cigarettes. I bet the big tobacco company's are to blame.

Also it seems like part of it is hereditary.. everyone in my family always had a fast metabolism and was skinny. It was passed on to me and I can eat as much of anything I want yet not gain any weight at all. Sometimes I try to eat like a slob and sit around doing nothing, but for the life of me I can't gain weight. 
Seems like some of the so called overweight people are too worried about it. Fuck the standards or whatever that make everyone want to be skinny.
As long as a persons weight does not pose a health problem, they should just accept it and be proud of who they are. I don't think being heavy makes anyone less attractive than if they were skinny.

Of course my metabolism affects how my body is. But, it is up to me to work hard to get to a certain type of physical health. Some people are naturally chunky. Some are naturally skinny. If you want to be at a healthy weight it takes work. Yes, you might have to fight your body a little...but health does not come easy. You have to stay active and you have to eat well. These things take time and effort. A lot of people don't feel like putting forth the time and effort. Hence the high obesity rates.

I've broken with the addiction of smoking two packs a day. Never ever have I blamed any companies for it.
I guess obesity threads in the Pub are like n*gger threads in OTD: either you come to listen to the vulgar choir of moral rejection, or you take part in it. The lack of empathy and the indiscriminate moral rejection of whole groups of people in this thread is sickening.

It is hard to feel empathy for people who put themselves in a particular situation.

Fat people need to stop being lazy and start exercising.
And put down the McDonalds.

Let's get down to the meat of the issue:
1. People are way too sensitive nowadays.
2. People do not want to take responsibility for themselves or their actions.
3. People like playing the victim.
4. People are afraid to admit their faults and they like blaming these faults on exterior things.
What this world needs is more blunt people who can admit the truth and who can run their own lives. For example, I have many problems in my life. About 98% have been caused by myself. Do I whine about them occassionally? Of course...we all do that. Do I blame anybody else? No. I am my own person and I have a backbone.

The only reason I'll feel bad for a fat person is if they have some kind of disorder. That's never the case in America. Most Americans are lazy fatties who like to fill their bodies with shitty fast food and have liek twelve thousand babies and never leave the couch because the newest reality show is on.

That is an extremely forward thinking point of view. I must say its nice to here. This subject is somewhat near and dear to my heart. Everyone in my family is over weight and we do struggle with it. On the flip side we are all the healthiest group of fat people you've ever met. No history of diabetes, heart disease... every one of us has great cholesterol, great blood pressure (low if anything). We're all as strong as horses... We just tend to be curvy women.
*shrug* I approach from a medical point of view and people still feel the need to "poo poo" all over curves. Oh well... I pose this one question though.... How healthy are the bean poles? How healthy are the men and women who eat laxatives and diet soda to maintain the idea of "mainstream" beauty?

Charming P.M.
Nobody is "moral rejecting" overweight people. If you aren't comfortable with who you are, than why aren't you trying to change? Instead your taking your insecurities, and lashing out at others who aren't sympathizing with your status as a Victim.
I don't feel sorry for you .

All the large people i know eat way too much, all that extra weight has to come from somewhere. I'm not sure but if your metabolism's slow doesn't that mean you don't need to eat as much as everybody else.
If a fat person has ever lost any weight before and is still overweight then it's that persons fault for their condition, because they have already proved it's possible to lose the weight. I fully believe anybody can lose weight if they want too.
Weight shouldn't make a difference to anybody, it's when people complain about being obese then don't do anything to help themselves that people get pissed. Ive seen that attitude in 90% of the fat people ive ever met.

"It is hard to feel empathy for people who put themselves in a particular situation."
Normally, no. I can sympathize with people who have addiction problems, as i have been there before. I can symathize with overwieght people, because i, and many people i love struggle with weight issues. I'm not gonna feel sorry for you, because you take the stance that you have no control over your obesity, and anyone that says otherwise can fuck off. In so many words .
