"heliumflash "I didn't call ANY of them fat. By YOUR definition they are fat." Point taken. My bad. Yes, by my definition they are fat. And they earned your respect. My point is proven. Done deal." - Robert Garcia

"And you certainly can't fault people who enjoy being assholes even though they know it's looked down upon and their character is always called into question, and they loose respect because they like being assholes. I never said anything to the point that it was GOOD being fat, or that fat people want to be fat. But respect is used in poor framing of the argument. Don't respect a man for being fat? Or being chinese, or being gay? Fine, I don't respect assholes, and I would be wrong, because an asshole just might save my life one day, and I'd have mad respect for him then." - Robert Garcia

"Bandwidth is only one issue with net neutrality. Businesses would suffer HUMONGOUS problems of the ISP's suddenly control how much bandwidth, if any at all, they are allowed to use. If Republicans where REALLY and truly supportive of business, especially the only business that has growth, you'd think they'd try to protect it from net neutrality. But no, they are so afraid of the black man in Washington and his teleprompter, that they would disagree with him even if he had the cure for cancer and was giving it away free to the millions who are dying from it. Bandwidth? Plenty to go around and not even close to being tapped. It's the physical structure needed to tap the bandwidth that's an issue. And that's because ISP's don't want to invest in their infastructure, which is lame as shit because of the plethora of business that is available from a population that is begging to give them money so they can get better internet and broadband usage. Dufus." - Robert Garcia

"Dugg you up because you just gave me my new favorite word." - Robert Garcia

"Hardataq - heart was getting in the way of your life huh?" - Robert Garcia

"heliumflashheliumflash - "Marylin Monroe has a perfectly fine body by today's standards. And a good actress. Respect earned." My girlfriend is a model (not saying it to earn points, just trying to make a point) and almost every tut, coaching, and training she gets would suggest that a voluptuous body is considered fat by the "today's beauty standard." I'd still hit that in a split second. Babe Ruth was still fat. Ate three hot dogs per game, put down two dinners at night. By your standards, FAT. But still earned respect. George Foreman was a beast in the ring who beat the shit out of people, then the next day would do a cookie eating contest. By your definition, FAT. And he bitched about his weight all the time. Made jokes too, just to be honest. It's one thing to be disappointed in people, which I think is ok in this situation. But call me next time you are suffering from pneumonia but you refused treatment from your fat doctor because you don't respect him." - Robert Garcia

"Will somebody reprint what the fucker said. Apparently it's too chickenshit and deleted it's comment." - Robert Garcia

""When nearly 3,000 people were killed on 9/11, we began wars and were willing to devote more than $1 trillion in additional expenses. Yet about the same number of Americans die from our failed insurance system every three weeks."" - Robert Garcia

"Obviously from these comments, not a lot of those who respect you enough to take the time. Babe Ruth was fat as fuck, but if you're a sports fan, mad respect for what he accomplished. George Foreman was a big fat beast who knocked the shit out of people after he was 40. I'd like to see you walk up to him all bad-ass and say the same thing you just wrote down. By today's standards, Marylin Monroe was fat, but I don't know any hetero man worth his salt who wouldn't hit that if she was alive and young today." - Robert Garcia

"Apparently, the doucheometer just spiked. Obesity is probably one of the strangest afflictions, and in a lot of cases character flaws, there are, especially in a world where people are dying of starvation, but it I'm sure a fat person would most definitely gain your respect if he or she was the only person who, let's say, voluntarily donated their stem cells to you, or could sign off on that loan you desperately need, or was a fat doctor that could save your frickin' life. I feel obesity can be attributed to an addiction or addictive personality. It should be a cause for concern, maybe some pity, even disappointment, but lack of respect? Kurt Cobain addictions and character flaws led him to take his life, but I don't see anything but respect for him and his music. Same goes for Jimmy Hendrix, Elvis, and a shitload of other entertainers. Yes, it might be their own fault that people are fat, but recovering from it is not as easy as "cutting calories." Recovering from crack isn't just..." - Robert Garcia

"Just smoked a doobie to get over the fact that I have no respect for what you just said." - Robert Garcia
