It would be nice if when the governing party is accused of unethical behaviour the (accurate) response wasn't always "you did it / will do it again too".

The NDP would be well positioned to attack this behavior. Or least they would have been before they decided to start doing everything they could to make themselves indistinguishable from the other parties except on some very narrow policy grounds. Jack Layton gambled everything on winning power. He and his chosen successors failed. Now the NDP stands for nothing in the minds of the public and is no more capable of taking advantage of this issue than anyone else, because after Mulcair the party just looks to the public like a less competent and electable version of the Liberals.

Now you've done it. First the food and music derails, and now here comes the Losing Weight train rumbling down the tracks. May God have mercy on our thread. Not a doctor, but I'm guessing the risk associated with some surgeries increases significantly with more fat? The fitness centre might be missing a marketing opportunity, a fat but fit instructor might be less intimidating to unfit client than the buff, beautiful young bods we all want to see in Spandex, Lululemons or whatever the gently caress these creatures wear these days. If the government wants to do something they need to start taxing white sugar and anything made with it out of existence. Make Tim Hortons donut trays look like the prices in a B.C. Ferries cafeteria.

Of course the doctor is judging me by my weight and that's why he wont give the surgery! He is an anti-fatty bigot. Its not because the risk of complications is so high and the fact you have diabetes,high blood pressure and hypertension makes you a dangerous candidate for any type of surgery. patonthebach fucked around with this message at 20:06 on Nov 29, 2016 |

Yeah, it's really quite simple. Doing surgery on obese people is difficult and has a higher risk of complications, therefore we should tell them to loving lose weight before they have surgery, unless it's literally life-threatening if they don't have surgery immediately.

You shouldn't mock and dehumanize marginalized people just because you think they deserve it for not conforming to whatever you deem normal, and you shouldn't shame people for their bodies. It's not complicated. If you honestly believe there's something wrong with mocking the disabled, or trans people, or whoever else, but it's cool and funny to mock fat people, then you are an unprincipled idiot. At least be consistent in your prejudice.

Some of the jokes in this thread weren't in good taste, but my original point was that they arent being judged because of their appearance, they are being judged by doctors because being obese is a serious clinical issue and makes them a poor candidate for surgery.

Part of why the cultural left was so strident in insisting that sexual orientation or gender identity are completely out of your control is because one of the strongest moral premises of our society is that we generally shouldn't blame people for things they can't control. Fatness, despite a lot of evidence to the contrary, is still regarded as a personal choice and thus something acceptable to mock. A pretty good starting point for getting this thread would be to keep in mind that PT6A and Cultural Imperial are both very obviously self loathing alcoholics using CanPol as a sort of primal scream session therapy for working out their issues.

The doctors weren't judging my lifestyle choices, they were giving me medical advice. PT6A fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Nov 29, 2016 |

Pinterest Mom posted:I don't think we came to that belief strategically, no. I think we did though? Obviously there wasn't a meeting in a smoke filled room somewhere but I think that cultural assumptions in the 1980s and 1990s created selection pressures for which kinds of arguments got the most attention and were promoted the most heavily. I'm not saying people are insincere in their beliefs but I do think cultural biases about the moral importance of choice played a role in determining what kind of arguments were most consistently used in justifying better treatment of LGBTQ individuals and groups. The particular fixation in some places on homosexuality being something you're born with rather than a product of environment or choice seems like the most blatant example to me. It absolutely shouldn't matter whether you "choose" to be attracted to the same sex or whether it's hard-wired but the much more common argument, especially when gay rights was still somewhat controversial for mainstream politicians, was that homosexuality was something you were born with.
