Are they banned from eating in pubs?

Are the banned from eating in all public places.

Do people eating get dirty looks as they munch on a sandwich in the open air?

Do overweight people get stopped on the street by greenie types telling them of the evil they are doing, to themselves and the world around them? (whilst ignoring all the car fumes)

In summary, you've never tried smoking in a city recently.

Try and twist things around for your benefit. Are people who treat others and think of them in this way REALLY the sort of people you want or need in your life? I doubt it...
I can tell from your posts you have been through the mill a bit like i have over the years, and maybe overeating was your "aenasthetic" just as others take to drink (geez theres plenty of those hovering around in here i can assure you!!) fags, drugs or whatever other hang ups that come from personal misery or tragedies sustained over the years. The only difference between you, me and them is that we WEAR our scars, they can hide theirs whenever they choose..doesnt mean they havent got any weaknesses or crutches though...
then theres those who dont have any of the vices, addictions, issues and problems so readily poured down on us mere mortals.... the holier than though regiment. "I am superior, and the rest of you should think act and behave as i do otherwise in my mind you're not worth jack shit"... i'm gettin long in the tooth..believe me, one day sometime before they die, something WILL happen to them to make them realise what arseholes they have been.

Then theres the people you really should be focusing on... the REALLY happy, confident and at peace with themselves group. They are my favourite people...the ones who live a great life, enjoy others for the good people they are, the fun they bring into their lives and have no need to compare "notes" on how better they are... you must have seem them..the ones who smile at you, pass the time of day and take a genuine interest in you for who you really are (not the size of your waistband).. theres lots of those folks out here and trust me..once you have lived in it a while getting rid of the pounds of misery is not such a daunting task as they make you feel worthy of a better life...hang in there babes and good luck with the struggle!!

im on your side so whoever the hell this marvin person is, dont liken me to them uneccessarily! read my post again 'dear'!

I'm not getting into a debate about passive smoking, car exhaust fumes, and the usual stuff it descends into.

I wasn't singing the praises of smoking in restaurants (i hate it, and didn't even mention restaurants in my post ). Were you confusing my post with someone elses, or did the red mist just well up and block all coherent thought? I was just saying that smokers get more abuse than fat people, both institutional abuse and personal abuse, so her statement was wrong. And in response I get your unbelievable rant.

Seeing as you see fit to assume I smoke, I'll assume you've got pmt and hope you feel better soon,

Cheers,

Personally I dont think you can call yourself a man until you have shagged a bird that weighs more than you.

I'm well over it in dealing with my issues, but you forget that theres many others still out there who aren't...

One of these days i may well do along post about the issues surrounding this subject and it will probably make you feel quite ashamed of yourself...but then again.......... maybe not....
