Fat Kids, Food Taxes, and General Perception
Story on Over Weight Kids
Fat Tax in the Future Sum Up [ QUOTE ] Any "fat tax" might be seen as an attack on personal freedom and would weigh more heavily on poorer families, the study warned. [/ QUOTE ] Yup Yup [ QUOTE ] Former Prime Minister Tony Blair has previously rejected the idea as an example of the "nanny state" that might push people away from healthy food. [/ QUOTE ] Too Bad the Voice of Reason was not in New York and California [ QUOTE ] Youngsters who report teasing, rejection, bullying and other types of abuse because of their weight are two to three times more likely to report suicidal thoughts [/ QUOTE ] Now it's ok for a group of kids to mentally and psysically torture some poor kid to the point where he want's to kill himself. Teachers dont' help, Parents tell you to ignore the bully, The problem get's worse and worse until the poor kid want's to kill himself. 1) Why is this accepted 2) Fat kid can't fight back because it's usually 5 to 1 on word of mouth to what happens (bullys crew) If he fights back he's usually the one who get's in trouble and suspended. 3) Fat kid fights back and wins his family is open to lawsuit by bullys family for bully's replacement teeth. What's that leave us with just a crappy situation 1) Fat kid see's no way out and commits suicide 2) Fat kid wigs out and shoots a bunch of random people or the bullys That's a pretty crappy outlook all because parents and teachers cannot control their kids. Maybe it's time to stop time outs and butt slaps and go back to putting kids through walls for tormenting someone else. [ QUOTE ] "Perhaps the most surprising source of weight stigma toward youths is parents," the report says. [/ QUOTE ] Amazing the parents calling their kids fat while stocking the house with nothing but junk food. [ QUOTE ] Teachers did not stand up for me when I was teased," McAfee said. [/ QUOTE ] 100 % true sometimes they just stand and watch this stuff because they are afraid of getting fired. Well it's bull I say. When I was in school teacher could hit or at least call the prinicpal who would HIT. Have we become such a horrible society that kids can get tortured at school while our educators stand and watch ????? [ QUOTE ] "Weight-based discrimination is as important a problem as racial discrimination or discrimination against children with physical disabilities," the report concludes. "Remedying it needs to be taken equally seriously..." [/ QUOTE ] I actually disagree with this somewhat. You can't change your skin color or your race or the fact that you were born with no legs. While you should not be subject to public humiliation and torture at school or work because of your weight. YOu should not be entilted to free seats on a plane or be able to sue a movie theather because the seats are too small. You can change your bodyweight. Weight Discrimination and Racial discrimination should not be lumped togethor. |

Yeah, we should let teachers attack people who are forced, by law, to be in their presence. |

"Did you say something ????"
Yes, I said that it is wrong to have teachers hitting children, especially when the children are forced, by law, to go to school. You may consider it "trolling" to disagree with you but I assure you it's not. Force is not a good way to maintain obedience; it breeds hostility and resentment and of course violence perpetuates itself. |

Re: Fat Kids, Food Taxes, and General Perception
It is also "wrong" to have children hitting other children, since the bullied are also forced to go to school; isn't that right?
I would ask for your solution, but I have a feeling it is going to be something along the lines of "abolish public education". |

Are you claiming that it's not wrong for children to hit other children? As for my 'solution' first, I have to ask, what is the problem? As far I see it, the o.p. just wants teachers to hit children. |

[/ QUOTE ] As opposed to kids being abused, beaten, ridiculed and tortured every day of their lives. You AC'ist live in a fantasy world. The reality is childrens lives are being ruined by scumbag kids that no one will put a stop too over fear of lawsuits or gettin fired. But no here's you and nielso and crowd when that fat kid goes to the school and shoots 10 people...... "uhhh it's the states fault" "Uhh my kid is forced to go to school so he won't be a bum when he grow up" "uhh you force him to go to school it's not my fault he beats on other kids" That's pathetic dude really... I mean REALLY If you put the fear of god into these kids they might not be so apt to abuse other kids. |

If bullies are wrong for using violence to get what they want, why is right for you to use violence to get what you want?
