some people are fat because they are lazy but others aren't.

Some?

No, MOST people are fat because they're lazy.

I became a massive, bloated sack of shit because I was fucking lazy. Well and truly on the road to fixing it now, but people blaming thyroid conditions or genetics constantly need to put down all those genetic cheeseburgers they keep eating too.

**edit: I kind-of need to come down with Southwest on this one. Smith was originally booked on a later flight with two seats, was then on standby for an earlier flight with a single seat available and was bumped. Thems are the rules.

Southwest probably should have handled it a little.. smoother.. but they weren't exactly in the wrong here, and I'm a Smith fan.

Hmm, I think the only one who has read this right so far is the Saint. He was booted for being a loudmouthed arsemonkey not for being fat.

[thegraeman]

Right, so trying to wade through the anti airline OMG he got kicked off cos he's fat bullshit it reads to me that he was on the first plane, with his two seats booked, and a larger lady got chastised for not booking two seats, so he had his two cents worth, and got booted.

But of course, that doesn't sound as good as getting booted for being fat.

(and requires a bit more than getting your "news" from one online media source)

all this "people are fat cos they are lazy" shit pisses me off, some peoples metabolism make them store more fat than others, my mum is fat, she walks her dog 1-2km a day, does all her own gardening, works as a cleaner in a factory and eats small but healthy meals. Its alot of activity for some one over 60. So stfu if you dont know the individual or the medical reasons as to thier size

if you eat less energy then you burn, you lose weight.

[BigDee]

The point is fat people are fat because they are no good lazy arse gluttons and they know it.

Haaaaaa this is gold!

I'm 145 kilos work my arse off still thrasing around on bikes and loving every bit of my life who gives a fuck whether your big or small, fat or thin...

Lazy arse gluttons thats a classic

[Professor Redfern]

Some have geniune medical reasons Malenko but 95% of fat people are lazy and greedy.

Also you can change your metabolism fairly easily.

No disrespec to your mum she may have a genuine reason but most dont.

@ bigdee, I never said you cant have a full life but if your body fat % is too high it is because you dont exersize enough to lose it or you eat too much. I dont have a personal issue with you.

Not necescrily no, look up body types, eg messo endo and ecto morph's

so why didn't he offer to share his extra seat with the other lady? 3 seats between 2 people should be more than enough.

Simple science is simple

Incorrect.

Science still wins this arguement.

The different body types sure do make it harder or easier to lose fat where required, but unless you have god living in your gut you cannot create more energy in your system than you consume.

[Professor Redfern]

Wouldnt itr be great if that was actually the case though?

We could find out what gene causes massive energy extraction from simple foods in small portions and start manipulating the gene pool so we can all survive on a tiny portion of food due to awesome metabloic rates.

Then Bam! hey presto world food shortage solved.

[darkfibre]

..................you cannot create more energy in your system than you consume.

No such thing as a free lunch?

[mekon]

I'm such a fanboy I'd buy the extra seat for Kevin plus one if I could chat to him on the flight. It'd be my own private 'Night With Kevin Smith' and I could bore him to tears with my banter about Walt Flannigans' Dog...

No "fatties" in a concentration camp part of the inmates after a while, being starved.
Have a look if you can find people who gained weight in the terrible WW2 death/work camps.
Sorry but, every pound comes through the mouth!

[CitizenD]

Yes and alcoholics need only stop drinking. Degenerate gamblers need only stop betting and so on.

Ask the man himself as he's probably the most freely accessible 'famous person' you can get. Facebook, Viewaskew.com etc. Obesity wasn't the issue Smith was throwing down over - courtesy and preservation of dignity was. Agree or disagree with his methods or message, this is a guy who stepped up for a total stranger. Good on him.

You forgot Bert only needs to stop posting.

Very true, but it would 'appear' that he may have taken it a bit too far. He was smart enough or aware enough to buy a second seat and the other lady was not.

Truth is we don't know what was said in the exchange... he may have gone overboard in his handling, or the cabin staff might have overreacted.
