Marine Humor
"Here Lie Four Japs. May they rest in pieces.
They fought like hell but Marines were too much.
Killed by Marines. Buried by Marines.
Whipped by God!"
If this offends your sense of living historically, please contact the US Marine Corps.
Ask for human resources and go from there.
Arrest the Parents
Damn I'm sick of all these reality shows trumpeting the triumphs of the obesity clinics- the last one with that poor kid in Texas who can only waddle to the bathroom and back to his bed. All of these morbidly obese people have one thing in common- enablers. This is always brushed over. When you're too fat to get out of bed, then somebody else is bringing you the vittles to maintian your girlish figure. More often than not, it's momma. Well, momma should be locked up for killing her kid. End of story.
It's one thing to pork yourself out. Adults have the right to live on pizza, Big Macs, ice cream and doritos, smoke cigarettes and end their lives prematurely. But this business of 300 pound 8th graders and half-ton teens is bullshit. They don't get with diabetes and arteriosclerosis from toilet seats or viruses. It's their worthless ass parents who feed them crap. Porking out your kid with Little Debbies is no different from beating them, locking them in a hot car, or giving them methamphetamine. It makes their lives miserable- physically and psychologically- and ultimately kills them. Munchausen syndrome- with munchies instead of mercury.I think the solution is disturbingly simple. Charge the parents with child abuse and assault, throw them in the slammer for a night or two...then, as a condition of their probation, require nutrition classes. It'd be a bit like the way one handles parents who don't pay child support. Pork out your poor kid, you gotta pay the price.
I know this will cause some squalling and accusations of discrimination, but get over it. Obesity is a matter of bad choices, not genetics, "bad glands", nasty little stress hormones or any other alien forces. Taking in more calories than you use is the only cause.
Don't bother caterwauling to me that your kid has a medical excuse to be too fat to fit in an F350. More than likely, their health problems are a result of (rather than the cause) their girth. Yes, a minute percentage of humans have genuine medical conditions- but addiction drivethrus and eating till you pop don't count. 99% of obesity is self-inflicted. But kids don't usually do the grocery shopping, cook breakfast or buy dinner. Teaching your kids basic health is one of the responsibilities you accept when you decide to start bumping uglies without rubbers.
People in general are prone to blaming anyone but themselves for what ails them. That's why this whole hogging epidemic sends me into orbit. The cause as well as the solution is right there looking at you. In the mirror.
Anybody want an ice cream...?
