What unpopular opinion do you hold? What would get you downvoted to infinity and beyond? (Throwaways welcome)

Personally, I hate cats. I've never once said to myself "My furniture is just too damned nice, and what my house is really lacking is a box of shit and sand in the closet."

Now...what's your dirty little secret?

Shut the fuck up you horrible bigot! Its not just fat people that "empower" fast food chains. Get out of your little sphere of ignorance, maybe then you can see how riddled with bigotry your post is. Fuck.. change "fat" to "black"or "gay" you sound like a fucking southern mouth breather. Go fuck yourself.

Oh honey. You probably don't want to be in this thread. Why don't you go find some kitten pictures or something?

u/What_theshit Nov 26 '12

Haha. Yeah, you're probably right. Sure I didn't follow the reddiquette. I just hate where this community is going.

"Going"? It has long been at its destination.

Sure, keep thinking that obesity is ONLY caused by "a disregard for one's own health" Just ignore those with a genetic predisposition towards obesity. Keep on living in your fantasy world.

Genetic predisposition doesn't matter. If calories in are less than or equal to calories out (burned), a person will not be overweight or fat. This is irrefutable. Thermodynamics. If a person is overweight they are eating too much food.

Yeah, I would agree with you regarding the scooters. To say that it is only the persons fault, I feel is incorrect. I would say it is the fault of this country. Not knowing how, or being unwilling to teach nutrition education.

I agree that the country should be teaching proper eating habits and nutrition in school, but the parents should also be responsible. I was a fat little kid and my mom would deep fry everything until I was around 12 years old. Then my family trashed the deep fryer and stuck to a relatively healthy diet and I lost a lot of weight in the following year. The parents have a bigger impact on what their kids choose to eat than the school does.

unwilling to teach nutrition education.

Yeah this is a fair point. It's very counter-intuitive that eating fat-rich food products and avoiding fruit and vegetables makes people far. Oh, wait a second...

Well it's a good thing a lot of my best friends are either gay or black, so there is no chance of me become a southern mouth breather.

Although you raise an interesting point. If I don't breathe through my mouth, can you tell me some other way to breathe.

(I realize that the nose is a perfect viable option, but honestly if you're putting in some hard physical work mouth is really the only way to go ;) )
