Why did you feel the need to copy and paste this tirade on every google result for “fat people cause global warming”?

It looked really stupid on TheSun.com because your points were totally irrelavent to anything mentioned. To counter your argument I need to make the following points:
(i) The main reason fat people cause global warming is because of the amount of food they eat, this equates to a billion tonnes of extra CO2 production every year. You have failed to address this point.
(ii)25mpg is abysmal, I drive a 1.9 turbo diesel pickup which gets 50mpg and probably has more load carrying capacity than your van. My wife also drives a 1.9 turbo diesel which returns 80mpg.
(iii)I do two loads of laundry a week for two adults, your clothes are bigger, there’s no getting around that.
(iv)You have crap all over your ass from not wiping it after taking a dump.
(v)You smell from not washing properly

Well if you must blame it on someone, sure “blame” the one with the largest carbon footprint. I am not fat just older, slower, and slightly overweight.

I eat, sleep, and I’m happy.

I am aware of my environment ant take steps to preserve it. I clean up others litter, pet droppings, and I recycle. Things the younger generation generally refuse to do.

This is a great idea and needs to be taken further. Small people are better, so everybody but the Asians and pygmy populations need to go and hang themselves with a natural fiber rope.

Anthropogenic global warming is a bunch of crap! It is a religion to those who are truly Godless and have no meaning in life.

Pretty brutal Eddie…pretty brutal, but you didn’t use any profanity so…

I guess you don’t understand that for some overweight folks being overweight is not just something you do, it’s actually mental, a disorder. But i don’t want to get into that.

How’d you get so fat? By consuming more than your necessary intake of food. There are tons of skinny kids who would love to eat your seconds. So yeah, you are gluttonous, deal with it. At least the original poster admits some fat people’s flaws. Also, the original poster wants to become fit. Make an effort. Don’t just be satisfied with being a fatty. It can’t be very flattering for yourself either, fatty. Your clothes themselves require more fabric to make. You probably produce more harmful gases too. You do realize cows actually contribute significantly to global warming, it’s because of the gas they produce. You probably produce more gas too.

Sorry, I’m being so harsh. I definitely exaggerated a lot, but I feel like the only way you can get through to whiney people is by beating them over the head with honesty, fatty.

despite all the hype, the world still is, by and large, not a very green place. Not even the western world. We still have a log way to go, but its good to see lots of people talking about it and seeing different applications for it.

You do THREE loads of laundry a week for TWO people? That seems like an awful lot to me.

Fat people are very lazy and also not energetic. But this doesn’t mean that they are the cause for global warming. There’s no size or type of environment but the extra thing are wasted like the additional water usage and the fabrics.

While I don’t agree that fat people cause global warming, you make some very good points about the other things. But this is true of individuals no matter what their size is. Enviornmental waste does not know size, but it makes sense to me about the extra fabric use as well as the additional water usage.

“After all, we’re fat, we don’t deserve any basic human respect at all.” Vesta, I’m fat too. I never said we didn’t deserve respect. Seems like you have some animosity buried inside that fat of yours. Let it out! LET IT OUT!

I don’t think your generalizations about fat people are true at all. I happen to be fat, and have been so for at least 30 of my 54 years of life. I don’t eat at fast food places (who the hell can afford that all the time?), my showers last about 5 minutes, and I only need to flush the toilet once (if I have to use wipes, I don’t need to use t.p.). I drive a minivan that gets 20 mpg city and 25 mpg highway (and it’s 11 years old, with 162,000 miles on it), and that’s the mileage it gets no matter if my fat ass is driving it or my son’s thinner one is driving it. I do 3 loads of laundry a week for 2 adults, so my huge clothes aren’t an environmental problem either (and not in the making of them either since I don’t go out and buy new outfits every month, I’m lucky if I can manage a whole new wardrobe every 3 or 4 years). You may not be a very “green” fat person, but YOU are the only fat person for whom you can speak. You can’t speak for the “green-ness” of any other fat person out there because you don’t a clue how they live their lives. But go ahead and keep on perpetuating the stereotype that all fat people are gluttonous, wasteful pigs. After all, we’re fat, we don’t deserve any basic human respect at all.

Great post, but “T.M.I.” with the big dumps. I was eating lunch.
