I didn't mention anything about being pretty.
Fat acceptance is promoting unhealthy behaviour. The NHS is on its last leg and it could do without the additional stress of self inflicted, destructive behaviour i.e. Being overweight.

I have been very very fat (and I'm glad I was judged because I've lost it all and become so many healthier, happier and prettier (only mentioning this prettier thing because you brought it up, I don't think being skinny makes you pretty).

Exactly but saying fat acceptance is wrong is indirectly stating that skinny is better
i understand where your coming from but people are sometimes fat because they cannot get rid of it - let this live and show them you still accept them no matter how they look bodywise

like english is better. it's like a twitter slang term for more popular (sarcastically) but it isn't lol

That would be amazing! I think some of it is amazing, but it's simple things that stump me. It's so embarassing may I PM you?

that's actually so true! i don't think i've met someone good at maths and english. I would say maths and science (chemistry and physics) as they have some maths to them, but it's normally one of them!! how true!

yh sure you can pm me

glad you agree with me :smile:

The Last Jedi was flawed and there is room for improvement, but ultimately it was a thematic masterpiece and just what the franchise needed to stay relevant and not tied to old assumptions and tropes.

Again, I didn't mention anything about being skinny. What I am saying indirectly, is that being normal weight is better, not that being skinny is better.
Cannot get rid of it?? There are very very few medical conditions that result in people being overweight and being unable to lose it and I sympathise with those poor individuals. However the majority of people are overweight because of their selfish, greedy and lazy behaviour.

Disagree (asssuming the actual dictionary definition of feminism)

Agree. To a limited extent.

Mine:
Aging should be viewed as a degenerative genetic disease in much the same way we'd view Parkinson's or Alzheimer's.

Modern day feminism would be a better phrase that just feminism alone.

Whats the problem in people enjoying food? even though its unhealthy i don't think we should be promoting body shaming
it affects peoples mental health too which in my view is very underrated

There is nothing wrong with enjoying food. The problem arises when people don't balance their calorie intake with their output. The problem is that my hard earned money is going to pay for fat Jill's gastric band surgery and her type 2 diabetic medication whilst poor Mike waits for his therapy to help him cope with PTSD.
I agree that mental health is underrated and we need more resources to help people with these issues. But these people are being made to wait for weeks and weeks because the NHS is clogged by people indulging in self destructive behaviour.

that sounded a bit aggressive - r u going through that situation?

anyway okay i agree that people have to help - but being rude about it and saying fat acceptance is wrong etc is just de motivating people instead of helping them - saying about the burden the NHS carry because of them is a hurtful coment and because of these comments peoples mental health are affected so i would appreciate if you didnt say it all in a blameful tone because its not their fault necessarily - its like a smoker - ofc initially it is but after its not - they cannot control it easily

"Privilege" isn't exclusive to white people. Depending on the circumstances you find yourself in, anyone could have a "one-up" on someone else. e.g. If I went to Japan, the locals will obviously be preferred for jobs and housing etc as I don't speak Japanese. This isn't them having a 'privilege' over me, but how life is.

being skinny is also a problem. unless you got a medical issue that disallows you from gaining/losing weight you have no excuse to not be in good shape.
