    are actually the new:

    1. Negroes

    2. Catholics

    3. Jews

    4. Retarded

    5. Poor

    6. Hippies

    7. Muslims

    8. Russians

    9. Immigrants (illegal or otherwise)

    10. Whatever else "Americans" don't "like"...

    ... on the block? Methinks so. I also have to ask, as I would with the others... why? Seriously. Coming from an ethnicity where "big" and "thick" really isn't a problem, where people really are judge more by the content of their character than... say, the size of their butt... I'm curious. What say you?

    And, please, try not to give me too much of that "it's not healthy" melarkey, because statistics show (TRULY!)... that skinny people have a 70% higher change of dying early than fat people (10%). Really. Look it up.

    In the meantime, peace to you all!

    Big and thick isn't the same as obese.

    I know. Being able to walk 100 yards without a break is so unhealthy.

    because statistics show (TRULY!)... that skinny people have a 70% higher change of dying early than fat people (10%). Really. Look it up.

    The very first thing I found disagrees. http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/weightloss/2009-03-17-obesity-death_N.htm

    Yea...if you're stranded on a deserted island with no real food but a source of fresh water, then the fat people will last longer than the skinny people...

    ...unless, of course the skinny people rise up and slay the fat people and have a Donner Party party...

    Don't forget the smokers and SUV owners. Glad I quit smoking last month; I was getting crap from every direction.

    I haven't looked up statistics, but my overweight parents both lived into their eighties while my 64 year old non smoker brother in law died of lung cancer. When I was a teenager a 16 year old friend died of a heart attack. He wasn't thin, but wasn't obese either. Just average.

    I believe in taking care of myself without being fanatical about it.

    Oh really?

    The 400 pound dude who rides my bus, and takes 3 minutes to climb the 3 steps up from the curb into the bus, and wheezes for 5 minutes afterward, is 70% more likely to live longer than me?

    Dang! I better get moving!

    I've got to gain 225 points post-haste!

    I guess the first step is hit the Golden Corral and load up on some deep-fried butter and chocolate filled lard cakes.

    Don't want to be a fat man,
    people would think that I was
    just good fun.
    Would rather be a thin man,
    I am so glad to go on being one.
    Too much to carry around with you,
    no chance of finding a woman who
    will love you in the morning and all the night time too.

    Don't want to be a fat man,
    have not the patience to ignore all that.
    Hate to admit to myself half of my problems
    came from being fat.
    Won't waste my time feeling sorry for him,
    I seen the other side to being thin.
    Roll us both down a mountain
    and I'm sure the fat man would win.
