Is this a justifiable reason to judge somebody?

[Anonymous]

I don't have a problem with fat people if they try hard to lose weight but I hate fat people who don't do anything about the fact that they are overweight and don't take care of their appearance at all by dieting or eating healthy and choose to get even fatter. I think being fat is okay if you are trying to lose weight. It's not okay if you are okay with being fat and happy to get even fatter.

Both my parents are overweight but I don't hammer on them and tell them how wrong they are for being overweight or criticize them all the time. I think it is easy to judge from the outside but when you actually know overweight people yourself (siblings, parents, friends) you realize how messed up it is to hate on people who are overweight. Healthy will always win against overweight but truth is people have different obstacles in life and it's not as easy as "let's lose some weight" for some people. It's always easy to criticize, hate and judge when you're on the other side of the spectrum. I mean, am I supposed to constantly tell my parents they are not okay and unhealthy and will die soon if they carry on... I don't do that with friends who smoke, get wasted, have reckless sexual tendencies and I won't do that either to my parents who are overweight. I'm not saying we should praise them, but to hate on someone without knowing their story, their life or who they are is NOT okay either.

I know right.I have a friend who claimed she has health problem so she 'can't' work out.I am not sure how does her health affect her work out routine.Working out is suppose to make your body healthy.She eats meats all the time,I can say almost everyday but then often says she doesn't take any foods at home.I won't judge them unless they keep complaining about their weight to me.It can be annoying when you have the solution but being lazy to improve yourself.She will complain about her flabby tummy before period and blame women nature.I mean period or no if you are overweight there is no way your tummy is going to be flat.Do something about it instead of complaining.

There are a lot of medical conditions where working out can harm your body it's the reason why when you get a personal trainer they ask you medical questions. It can do more harm then good. If someone has a knee issue and runs or works they're legs it can make them unable to walk or a heart condition that isn't from being over weight can stop you from doing a lot

Have you ever experienced thyroid disease, ridicule, and discrimination which includes social prejudice, due to your weight?

Have you ever gone to the gym, or most public places, for that matter, only to be avoided, stared at, and treated less than hospitable due to your weight?

Have you ever been stared at even while your eating at a restaurant despite the fact that you are eating light? No! Well, neither have I, which is why I strongly object to the opinion/ unfair assessment of anyone that generalizes overweight people as whole.

If you don't know where someone has been, then, you can't possibly know how hard is for them to get to where they need, or want, to be in life.

Only a tiny percent of overweight Americans, far less than 10%, are overweight because they actually have medical problems. It's a tiny minority looked at poorly because of the vast majority simply being people who can't control their appetites.

[TheStaff_Sergeant]

I agree. However, lets not overlook that ones will power, motivation, culture, and mental and emotional health, influences his/her choices.

You don't need a reason to judge someone. That is just the way human nature is. People will have less respect for people that don't share the same values they have. It might not be PC but that is the way everyone is designed. Even people that claim you shouldn't judge others, will have no problem judging you poorly if they find out you judged someone else. I know its hypocritical but that is just they way they are.

As far as your hating them, I would say that is a horrible reason to hate someone. They are just living their lives not hurting anyone else. Maybe you chose your words poorly, but hatred is going too far.

[pickledxtofu]

Hate is a rather strong word. I don't think hate is a good thing in general, nor justified. Hate can be understandable, but not justified.

Those types of people are annoying though. Sort of how like girls on here will ask "Do guys mind if your have belly fat, flabby thighs and a jiggly butt?"

Working out is healthy. So why not work out and fix those problem areas instead of trying to convince yourself that it's attractive?

Anyways, those are my thoughts. ciao

[cavmanier]

You don't know their past or present situation so you don't know why they do what they do. I doubt many people want to be fat, but they have their reasons. You have every right to judge them, but I think it's a waste of energy and you're really lacking empathy from your ignorance.

[myspacemybroke]

I think I'd agree with pickledxtofu. It's not alright to despise a person simply due to their physical status IMO, but at the same time it's hard to find any sympathy for those who are massively overweight, don't want to be, but refuse to change their lifestyle. Then of course in comes depression, health conditions, etc, etc. I just stay out of people's lives, and choose whether or not to accept based on who they are.

[Cromartie]

That is not a justifiable reason. I know, I'm supposed to explain how ethics works, express why it's not, and give you three paragraphs on how you're wrong. I ... just don't want to.

[martyfellow]

I totally agree with you. Being fat isn't a crime, nafter all, and there are a lot worse tings you could be than just overweight. Plus, it's easily rectified..a little will power, plus maybe Weight Watchers!

[Sexydncr]

It bothers me that they're so flippant about their health but I'm much more annoyed when overweight people complain about being fat especially while they're stuffing their face with Oreos.

[Anonymous]

I don't think you have the right to judge at all. If someones fat and whines and complains about it and does nothing feel free to judge them but if they are fine with how they are why the fuck should you care

Watch that video! Its so disturbing and just sickening. Straight killing herself slowlyyyy.

[Anonymous]

Anyone who thinks that "judging someone is bad" evidently needs to grow up and stop watching the Lunicorns.

[ChristopherLosRivera]

Damn right.

[Anonymous]

There's never a reason that justifys judging someone

[Calex]

I'll just say that I find some fat girls attractive.

I completely agree with you, though.

[Anonymous]

if that's how they choose to live their life then why care?

[Anonymous]

Well, if some maniac goes around killing people, it's justifiable to judge him.

But hating fat person for being fat? Seriously?

[Anonymous]

I don't think it's justifiable.
