Intruding Prudes

[Hobbs]

People do NOT murder for Little Debbie cakes.

They [attempt] murder for McNuggets, though.

[KnitShoni]

Driving is needed. Eating all the boxes of Little Debbie's a store has is not.

Who/where are these people you keep pointing out that eat all the boxes of Little Debbie's and put mayo on everything? There are a lot of overweight people in my family. They don't do that.

[Red Panda]

Really, I've before gone an entire year without a car. I have friends who have never owned a car, much less learned how to drive one. Believe it or not, it is possible to live without driving a vehicle. And yes, I do drive, but I drive the minimal amount needed in a car that is not larger than I need, I can't say the same about everyone else.

I notice you didn't make a retort against the point about smokers and drug users.

If you live in a rural area or small town without public transportation its very hard to get by without driving.

[HYHYBT]

Little Debbie, no. For murder, it would have to be, at minimum, an Entenmann's raspberry danish

[Plaidman]

So Red Panda... still no retort about the drug users and drinkers and their effects on healthcare.

[Red Panda]

If you could read you would notice that I agree they also cause problems but it has no stance on how I feel about fat people, an issue other people keep bringing up.

[Plaidman]

Well, then you just hate fat people. It's not because of their healthcare cause, since drug users and drinkers do just as much, yet you never sprout how much you hate them.

Just for clarification Red Panda. What do you consider to be fat?

Do you consider any woman who is not fashion model thin as being fat?
Do you consider any person who is not within the guidelines of the Hight/Weight chart to be fat?
Do you consider any person who is larger than societal norms to be fat?
Do you consider any person who cannot fit on a amusement park ride as being fat?

Just want to get a feel for your definition of "Fat" before I continue on my line of thought on the matter.

My husband is fat. Good thing I'm a chubby chaser; something about cuddling up next to a big squishy teddy bear of a guy just does it for me. I happen to think he's sexy. Just sayin'. He's completely healthy. I wish *I* was as healthy as he is.

His mother is even larger. Like, 350+ lbs. Yet, somehow, she has men falling ALL over her. She eats about 1 meal a day; her weight is due to other health factors that cause the weight gain, not the other way around.

To each their own, as far as attraction goes. *shrug*

[McDreidel09]

As much as I do not agree with Red Panda's view on overweight people, I do think that it is dumb that every thread she makes, it goes back to the Fat People thread. I thought that this thread had potential for a good argument, but then it went waaay off track before I had a chance to reply. This makes me a sad McD.

To get back on topic...

While I think the human body is beautiful and should not be feared, I also believe in following the law. What we need is a societal over haul of the views on the human body as something beautiful and not just purely sexual.

What I do find funny is that this thread is called "Intruding Prudes", however, I see no intruding on the prudes' part. You come out on the balcony, which is now considered public. They are not peeking in your window or coming into your house.

My grandparents check the weather using something called Weather Underground on their computer. It is basically a live feed of the weather.

As for dressing for the weather, I live in Northern IL and go to school in WI, so I know how it is to have weather that changes constantly. I normally dress in a pair of pants, a shirt, and then I have a hoodie with me. I have an umbrella and a hoodie in my trunk, which takes very little room.

Somebody is fat when they are over 350 pounds.

[Parrothead]

As to the weather thing, these things can help you know what the weather is without going outside.


Problem solved.

[Amanita]

I guess I'm acceptable then. I'm a little over 200, and working on dropping some.
I agree- the neighbors were not intruding by commenting on something that was out in public view. I also agree that whatever one's views on nudity, one must respect the law. And most places have laws about being nude and visible to the public.

Also, most nudists/naturists practice a certain etiquette when it comes to their nudism- they don't impose it on the unwilling.

Exactly. If people who live a majority it their lives naked are considerate enough to not be naked in view of people who don't wish to see them, why is that so difficult for you, Panda?

I guess that NBA player or muscle bound NFL linebacker is included too?????
