How many people deliberately contract the disease each year? If you can, please show some evidence to support this - links to studies etc. Or, if it's something that you've just made up, let us know that too

lol this topic always comes up when we have an overweight housemate(s)...

Might as well just insert a link to a previous thread and save everyone some time...

But more generally the fact that they have accepted that they are fat and clearly have no desire to lose weight, is somewhat equivalent.

I love cake and I'm ****ing proud of it

MatthewS · 19-06-2013, 12:14 AM

It's a poor decision. People make those sometimes.

Yes, because that represents a vast majority of people doesn't it?

Why don't you just pull up stories about English serial killers and say we're becoming a country of psychopaths as well?

Kizzy · 19-06-2013, 12:16 AM

Can you catch fat like AIDS? omg! .... double up everyone!!

Hence why I said more generally.

Interesting stuff. I didn't know about that, but I'm still a little skeptical about the overall numbers, and what might be driving such people. And to me, it is in poor taste to compare such people with the overweight. However, following the overweight around with a tuba is acceptable.

I am overweight too OP and I agree with you. I am going to try and lose the weight. It isn't easy.

Good for you. It isn't easy. But when you reach your goal it will be worth the struggle.

Working where I used to work, a few years ago, I knew of a handful of people who had deliberately contracted HIV in order to receive benefits such as housing and disability allowances. Not sure how well it worked out for them now the Tories are in.

They're plesantly plump x

I'm getting really sick of these fattist threads.

the twins aren't proud to be fat, they're fat and and trying not to be negative and moany about it which if they were, I'm sure you'd be complaining.

There are people who like being fat, are proud to be fat and want to be fatter.

Also, of you're worried about overweight people on TV and children wanting to be fat then surely you'd be better trying to ban all the smokers from BB, as its arguably worse for you and unlike obesity kills those around you.

In summary, if it really bothers you so much don't watch.

believe it or not, that has actually happened.

But you know what I mean, people complain about other peoples personal choices that don't affect others yet something like smoling which is passive doesn't raise any concerns.

When Michael said they were moaning about rations and one of them turned around and said "Im 18 stone!!" as if that justified his moaning, bloody hell.
