Category: Weight
The bog-standard toilet apparently has had to have its weight supporting ability increased from 45kg to 150kg. I'm here to tell you that if they can only hold 45kg currently then I must have unknowingly destroyed a few over the years.
The Adelaide Advertiser asked for comments from readers and got quite an uncharitable response. Amongst the comments:
Why are we catering to all these fat people! Make it socially unacceptable to be so overweight and then perhaps we'll see some changes.
and
Let's reinforce concrete for those lardarses and their buggies who are too fat to even walk on footpaths or at the shops or to the ER...
and
This whole body acceptance movement is entirely to blame. Fat folk just started feeling proud about being obese rather than being humiliated into doing something about it.
and this cracker
We have some quite obese friends and they often come over for BBQs on our back balcony (10 metres off the ground). Our house is only 8 years old as is built to structural engineering standards. We have been considering putting steel plates under for extra support as we worry when we get the whole family over that it won't take the weight. If we all go down with the balcony another question who would sue who, do we sue them for their overweighty contribution or do they sue us for not having it reinforced.
And then there is the notion that, because we have a nationalised healthcare system, the state has the right to intefere in our lives
This is getting absolutely DISGUSTING! I think the fat of Australia needs to get up off their asses and do something about it, and stop making excuses! They are EMBARRASSING!!! It even affects my life (e.g. health benefits) because they can't look after themselves! And what is worse is that some of them think we should be feeling sorry for them!
