• CJ, did you not see the smiley-face? It was all in jest.

    What on earth are YOU on about?

    And your leap into the dark, about personalities, makes me think that you feel women should be addressed as personalities, instead of objects.
    Who in this world thinks differently to that??!!

    Bingo, in fact I think thats how we should address people in general not just women, you mentioned I feel a lack of respect to people because of how they look earlier in this thread, but that is incorrect. I am a big bloke myself, I used to be even bigger than I am now, a lot bigger, I don't have issue with size, in terms of myself or other people, I have issue with extremely ill health brought on by morbid obesity.
    To explain to what degree I mean this:
    My own mother who is a few stone overweight, has been told that her diabetes will get progressively worse, and her already bad eyesight which has deteriorated in correlation with her high blood sugar levels will eventually turn into near blindness if she doesn't lose weight and control this by a better diet and regular exercise (of which she gets hardly any!), all this and yet she still couldn't be bothered to lose weight, i've told her I find it difficult to respect her as a person because to me she is giving up on life when it would be so simple for her to fix this, which recently she has begun to, thankfully, my point...although long winded, is its nothing to do with aesthetics, but more the effect that someone being in this state has on the people around them, on their own health, and the domino effect about how this damages the country as a whole and the lives of future generations.
    I feel a lack of respect for people who degrade into a morbidly obese mess that can barely walk unaided and do nothing but sit on their fat ass all day because they are so fat they can barely function, they then weigh down the NHS (pun intended) with all the additional health problems they develop because of their own disdain for their bodies, worse still some of these people are parents, and then inflict their problems upon their kids, that also become morbidly obese and suffer awful health problems at an early age, diabetes and kidney problems at 12 years old? Great eh! but that is drifting on to a different subject.
    Anorexia/bolemia etc are all just as unhealthy, but they rarely have the knock on effect that morbid obesity has to people and family around the sufferer, morbid obesity and generally unhealthy lifestyles are a major problem in society today, and I am GLAD, that the government and some companies are doing what they can to promote being healthy, exercise, and activity amongst society as a whole, the TFL pro-cycling campaign for instance is a great thing IMO :)
