at the beggining of the year it took 25 dollars to fill up my tank... now it takes 40... considering i fill up 3 times a month... thats 120 dollars a month... a whole extra 45 dollars more..
not considering my car bill, plus insurance... insurance is 100 and car payment is 300
if you are saying shit like that its because either you dont have a car, mommy and daddy pay for it AND gas, or u won the lottery...

i dont understand why you makes posts like this man. it makes it really clear how young and naive you are. you have no life experience,and have a lot of growing up to do. seriously.

500 a year is about $1.4 dollars a day. Again, not a huge deal.

you probably live a comfy life but some people need that extra 1.4 dollars to make ends meet and if you can't manage that extra money 500*40 average lifespan of what someone would maintain a job thats 20,000 you're in debt

I suppose if you're going to be a pedant, I should let you know you misspelled 'disenchanted' in your thread title.

Going in order:

Your first concern is actually very common and could be explained medically and biologically. For the most part, our brains evolved a way to avoid things perceived as diseased or otherwise anomalous. Unfortunately, being aware of the ideologies you follow, it puts you in an awkward position of simultaneously experiencing something and denying it's true.

If you want the nitty gritty on what's actually happening, here's the studies I'm referring to (PDF Links):

Don't get me wrong, you're still incredibly prejudicial, but at least now you have a scapegoat.

Second point:

So it's basically church. Moving on!

Your third point is a frivolous rant about people's frivolous ranting about gas prices. Then you go on to say:

I'm not sure how you can seriously propose that after giving a spit-speckled rant on fat people.

I'm going to talk about how the average American citizen needs to quit whining about having to pay an extra dollar or two for gas each day.

Oh but hey, I just realized that this whole obesity thing might actually be a blessing in disguise. Obese people die younger then most people. Which means that they won't be a burden on the tax payers for very long anyhow. Fantastic.

Fantastic.

I see your point. But there is very little the average American can do about the current gas prices, and yet there is quite a bit that overweight people can do about their current situation, but they don't.

And yes, I am being "mean". But last time I checked, this whole, "Let's just not say anything to obese people about their weight because we don't want to offend them" approach hasn't really done any good.

My frustration with obese people is that their obesity, actually effects the people around them. For instance, I went to the capital with a few classmates of mine. One of them happened to be an obese 18 year old girl. Thanks to her obesity, she was unable to keep up with the rest of the group. We had to go up a rather long flight of stairs, all of us, with the exception of her, didn't have any problem doing this. She, on the other hand, had to sit down for a few minutes, one of us had to run and get her water because she had dehydrated herself. She was out of commission for the rest of the day, which ruined quite a few of our plans for the day, all because she just couldn't put down the fork, and get some exercise. There's no excuse for that.

And don't even get me started about having to deal with obese people in confined areas. Such as trains, cars, etc.
