getbig views on being overweight, poor , old .....

[B_B_C]

should they be helped or shunned ?

[Rambone]

Free information is everywhere thanks to the internet. Some people are dealt a bad hand, but if you’re as broke as you were at the beginning of adulthood, you’re a loser and will always be a loser. SHUNNED!

old? i gotta imagine most of the posters here at 45+, this place is nothing but old people

[Mr Anabolic]

I can relate to being old.  I was poor in my teens and 20's.  Never been overweight though.

We've all seen that so-called "losers" tend to receive a lot of government money and handouts.

To anyone receiving unemployment and/or government stimulus money... make sure you take it and buy tangible items.  Things of value that hold their value.  You're going to need it.

Fat people should be shamed and ridiculed, tolerance for the obese is far to high, here in the uk where healthcare is free anyone presenting an illness or ailment that is even slightly related to being ower fat should be charged the full cost of any treatment they receive, to be paid upfront so if the disgusting fat fuck doesn't have the money tough shit put up with your illness or lose some fucking weight.

Jenny was hot back then.  She was in a lot of movies and tv shows.  You probably missed her here:

My aunt took me to see Logan's Run in 1976, I was 10.  She covered by eyes during the slow-mo naked grouping part.   

[Body-Buildah]

Ill let you know when I become one of those (or all 3).

[ThisisOverload]

I don't mind helping the elderly and poor people that truly have no options in life.

Fat people are different, if we are on the same healthcare plan and i'm responsible for your financial health situation, i have a problem with that to a degree.  However, everyone can get sick no matter how healthy they try to be, so it's a slippery slope.

Looked her picture up and her older self looks familiar but I wouldn't have connected her older with her
younger.

I don't know about the US, but over here I see a lot of people on welfare and complaining about being very poor, but:
- they all appear to be VERY well fed.
- they all smoke
- they have at least 1 or 2 large dogs

I'd say: stop smoking and get rid of the dogs and you have at least 200 euros/dollars a month extra.
At least.

Most poor in the U.S. smoke lots of weed and that isn't cheap.

As pot becomes legalized, I hope more ppl turn into stoners... it puts me even further above and beyond.

Yep, as everyone else races to the bottom, just staying put elevates you to the top.

Many employers drug test job applicants nowadays.  I wonder how legal pot will come in to play?

Here in New Mexico, if you have a medical marijuana card and you fail a drug test, you are screwed.  It's weird how that works.  It's pretty easy to get the card, just have to classify because of a certain ailment and get a Doctor to sign the paperwork.  The company i work for does work for the federal government, we get randomly drug tested once or twice a year.  Even if i had a card i'd probably lose my job if i failed the test.

They need to change that.

Why do they need to change it?  If you owned the company would you want stoned employees?

Wonder why they dont drug test people who are claiming benefits from the state...
