WTH are you rambling about?
The person in the OP, Katie whatshername, is a UK Independent.

What does the politics of Katie whatshername have to do with the crap I see spewed here on a daily basis?

I don't know. You brought it up in this thread.

What is it about conservatism? It seems to me as though their rejection of what they call "political correctness" is just a Carte Blanch license to be mean to others. In other words, an excuse for their narrow minded and shallow selves.

 

[JohnL.Burke]

Political correctness (such as the speech codes in colleges) stems from a far left view that Orwell wrote so eloquently about in the book 1984. It's an attempt to intimidate the masses. Brainwashing through rhetoric. an attempt to convince people that 2+2=5. It's an acidic and dishonest rhetorical device used to bludgeon ones political adversaries while not having to study information available. Some of the tools of political correctness include the race card. A metaphorical ninja throwing star usually used as a way to bypass facts and equate government with righteousness. A war-on-women meme was used as a way to deflect the encroachment of government into religious institutions. Political correctness is a bias wrapped in a psychobabble and disguised as a thought process.

First off...most of the time when the race card is played? It's one of you saying something racist in nature...purposely I might add, so that when someone calls you on it, you can claim the "race card" has been played.

Second... if you'd stay out of people's bedrooms and mind your own business, you wouldn't have half the problems your side does.

Not sure what you mean by 'you guys'... I also don't see where anyone is 'agreeing' with Kate whatshername.
Now that the you vs them has been dismissed, what do you think of the OP?

I think it's a line of crap that some woman with the gift of genetics is pulling to make her shallow self feel better.

That's what fueled the rant against the right in this thread. I think that shitty self esteem rears it's head in all of us in one form or another. For some, they become introverts...wall flowers, if you will....not wanting to take chances and break out of their comfort zones for fear of failure or ridicule.

The other manifestation is to put down others to feed that insecurity within themselves I think Katie(and a lot if extremists, right band left) falls into this category and many obese people fall into the former....which coincidentally, gives Katie an easy target....and she loves it, because she can simply say..."hey, look at the hippo!" , and that takes all eyes off of her.

So, there you have it...my semi professional analysis of Katie whatshername and people like her.

 

[editec]

Good looks indicate good health.

It ought to be no surprise that what we think of as beauty really hasn't change all that much over the eons.

Now I know that some people with a PC agenda will try to convince us that beauty is arbitrary and culturally based.

That's largely nonsense.

What humans find attractive sexually is programmed right into our genes.

Massively overweight, massively underweight?

Both are genetic turnoffs.

WE all know what healthy looks like.

You know, I looked her up, she has a wiki page. She sure comes off as a class a biatch.

Oh....I know what you're saying....but that's not the point here....the point is that it does no one any good to call an obese person a cow. It makes you look like a dickhead and makes then feel like shit, which they will just turn on themselves and eat more.

I don't want to call an obese person a cow, or otherwise insult them. But I don't want to be expected to think they look good, either. Or to buy into the idea that there is anything positive about obesity. It is unattractive and unhealthy to be obese and I refuse to be forced into calling it anything else.

I agree with Kate whatshername. Just like her, I don't think we should teach kids that "big is beautiful" (big meaning fat). "Big" is unhealthy, not beautiful.

Although, I do kind of enjoy the way things are today. There are so many fat people around that if I do get a little overweight it's not the stigma it used to be when I was young. And, in fact, my fat self is actually pretty skinny by today's standards. Because a lot of people today are not just overweight, they're obese.

I used to diet and try to keep my weight down for "looks." Now I do it for health and to feel better. Looking better is a nice side benefit, though.

Disagreeing with Pres. Obama is not a racist act. Redefining "racism" is a product of political correctness. The left plays the race card in the same manner certain religious extremists play the "infidel" card.

If the right would stay out of people's bedroom and mind our own business we would have less problems? It is the left that wants the government to pay for contraception. Why is this the governments job? Why does the left always want to control private activities? The left of course wants to invade people's bedrooms because they want the government to invade every aspect of people's lives, privacy and speech.

Some people do like curvy or extra weighted folks.

Historically someone with extra weight was seen as wealthy.

The only thing I see as any legit concern about weight is health.

Smoker's experience the same kind of concern, as do alcoholics.

Still, I would not discriminate as an employer against a smoker, drinker or overweight person.

If you are qualified for the job you should get it.

If you are not attracted to a smoker, a fat person or heavy drinker don't date one

Public "shaming" of smoker's, fat people and promiscuous people have become trendy, and all that body policing has allowed legislation to ban big gulps in new york, shame smokers where more and more the designated areas are nil and the general attitude is nobody likes you.

Being "un-pc" is really just a clever way to throw social stones and it is manipulated by the media just like this lady who wrote the article, influenced by politicians who like to ban gulps and designated smoking areas.

People are confusing social preference which they can chose without public shaming and without government assistance with rebelling against political correctness.

Yes. Those few 'conservatives' who want the federal government to outlaw abortion and/or gay marriage, for instance, are not conservative at all any more than are those who want the federal goernment to require the taxpayer to provide those free contraceptives, who want the federal government to make abortion on demand for any reason and at any stage legal everywhere, who want the federal government to recognize gay marriage, etc. etc.

True conservatives want the federal government to secure our rights and then leave us alone to form whatever sort of society we wish to have and pass whatever laws we need/want to govern ourselves.

True conservatives are perfectly willing to live and let live so long as our rights are secured and we are allowed the strength of our beliefs and convictions. We will push back every time though when somebodies are in our face accusing us of being selfish or greedy or hateful or racist because we don't share THEIR beliefs and convictions.

Anybody who thinks the federal government should have the power to assign the rights the people will have is not conservative no matter what rights he/she wants assigned. The true conservative believes we are born with basic, fundamental, unalienable rights and the purpose of the federal government is to recognize and defend those rights and provide a structure by which the various states can function as both individual entities and also as one strong nation capable of providing the common defense against all who would threaten it.

All the petty, contentious, and sticky issues that some use to accuse, blame, insult, or coerce others are matters that the people themselves must handle under conservatism. Those who want a Deadwood in its hellfire days should have that. Those who want a Mayberry USA should have that. Those who want a commune with all Marxist concepts should have that. But none should be able to dictate to the others what sort of society they should be.

Life, liberty, property/pursuit of happiness require no mandatory or involuntary contribution by any other person. All that is required is the other person's noninterference.

In your personal life you can treat people whatever way you want as long as your don't assault them.

The article is not about bologna smells, it is about not hiring an overweight person because they are overweight.

It does not distinguish what is overweight either, so while you might be disgusted by someone 20 pounds overweight if they are qualified for a job they should still be hired.

No...disagreeing with Obama is not a racist act. Talking shit about a "bone through his nose" or some other nonsense like that is.

The left wants government to pay for contraception? Oh you mean that they want contraception to be part of the insurance exchanges that they themselves pay for? Imagine that....someone wants something to be part of the benefits package that they choose. That's called demand...and if one insurance doesn't offer it, I'd imagine the ones that include it will do much better.

BTW...what better solution to bring down the number of abortions in this country than to make contraception readily available and cheap? What's worse having contraception as part of an insurance package, or abortion? Oh yeah...I forgot...abstinence only. Well, that might be practical for the 3-5 out of a hundred that practice masturbation because they can't get a date, but for most people, it's not going to work.

I don't expect a rational, pragmatic answer because you guys are incapable of it. You just blindly believe the dogma that gets vomited out of hate mongers' mouths.

The left wants to invade the bedroom? Tell me how. The ONLY people I see telling others what they can and can't do is you guys on the right.

Yes, talking "shit" about a "bone in the nose" or some other nonsense like that is racist. Accusing somebody of racism because one disagrees with Obama's agenda is not racist.
Confusing the two is the art of playing the race card.

Yes, the government wants to pay for contraception by forcing people who are against contraception to pay for it by government decree (Obamacare). Obamacare has nothing to do with choice when it becomes mandatory. Also, who is talking about abstinence in terms of insurance? Abstinence is a private choice. I still want to know why it's the governments job to force people to pay for practices they don't believe in. As for myself, I love contraception. Contraception is my friend. Why am I obliged to be forced to pay for other people's contraception though? Why is it any of my business? If you are so concerned about how people have sex then buy your friends a condom but why drag me into your pathological interest in other people's sex lives?

By the way, you did exactly what I expected you to do. You deny that government is forcing itself into the bedroom and then you talk about why government should force itself into the bedroom. You say," What better way to bring down the number of abortions in this country than to make contraception readily available and cheap?". Of course contraception is already readily available and cheap so that argument doesn't even make sense.

Here's my favorite part of what you said though. You said that you don't expect a rational pragmatic answer because "you guys are incapable of it", but right before this quote you insisted that people who disagree with you are busy masturbating because they can't get dates. LOL! Of course, in the left's world, the government should force everybody to pay for someone else's porno, hand lotion and tissue so the ability for masturbation is readily available and cheap.

 

[Gracie]

QL is what walking sticks would call "fat". Which also means she is not beautiful, right? Wrong. Oh. Wait. You are talking about 500 lb people. Wait a sec. Is there a limit to what "fat" is? Just so everyone knows whether they are a fat ugly person due to their weight, perhaps some of you should give us your ....ahem...rules...about what is fat and ugly to you so we can jot it down in Things We All Must Know book.
