Charlie we're always here to talk your issues through with you....
yeah, that's what tazzy and others say too.
ed..
still not addressing the issues taz?
Cheers Tazzy, the comedy is what most come here for I reckon. If a thread is upsetting me, I take action... and go find a different thread to dick about on 🙄
yeah,i find that useful when dealing with racists too, just let them get on with it eh?
fatties walk the streets among us, internet know-it-alls are much harder to spot in daylight.
yeah, that's what tazzy and others say too.
hmmm sound's a bit serious for me, I normally just make knob gags and post daft pictures, but if a serious talk to uncle tazzy can help be my guest.
still not addressing the issues taz?
actually **** that it's off topic
Have every sympathy with you taz, just makes it seem a bit stranger that your respite from those troubles is to have a pop at other folks.
For this particular problem, having to phone up a zoo to ask for help, is a dead give away that you've reached a crossroads in your life. Anyone who can't see that, well as you pointed out, it's a stupidity problem.
Do you know anyone that thick? Really? Do you know anyone who would phone a zoo for an MRI scan and still think it's someone else's problem?
Or do you know people who are so obtuse that they would phone a zoo for an MRI scan and still think it's someone else's problem.
One of these people need help. The other needs abuse. I'm guessing this woman, who can walk and talk, is bright enough to distinguish between these groups. She knows perfectly well that when she had to phone a zoo that things had gone just a little too far. But her arrogance told her to just keep on pushing the issue.
Or do you still think she doesn't understand the situation she finds herself in?
Being fat and race aren't really the same thing though are they?
Anyhow... I've just re-read the thread to see what 'the issue' is... I can only assume it's the bit about whether we'd like everyone to be homogeneous blah blah blah...
4 pages of post indicate to me that we wouldn't; having differences to take the mick out of seem to give people enjoyment.
I'd say it's given you some enjoyment too Charlie.
I think she might have a problem, psychological, emotional, which prevents her from reflecting on her situation or perhaps addressing it.
charlie, if anything I've done has PERSONALLY affected you I'm awfully sorry. If however you are feeling vicariously outraged on behalf of people that can't be bothered to not put a deep fried mars bar in their mouth then, in the nicest possible way, cock off
🙂

The analogy is only drawn because when someone says something which you think displays ignorance or a lack of understanding, you feel it incumbent upon you to confront those opinions.

I'm not outraged, i just think you are wrong. I think you have a simplistic view of the problem of obesity and i would like to try to change your outlook, so that there is a bit more understanding in society.
I have a costume and everything
don't need this shite
You've gone n bloomin ruined that now
Good!
[i]I think she might have a problem, psychological, emotional, which prevents her from reflecting on her situation or perhaps addressing it. [/i]
I think you're half right. I think she has problems which make her eat too much.
After that, she's just an arrogant individual who deliberately ignores her situation because it takes effort to deal with it. She's lazy. And that's not a psychological disorder, it's simply one of those attributes that distinguish good people from bad ones. She's not bad because she's fat, she's fat because she's bad. All the fat people I know (and choose to know) are fat because they push too much food down their gullet and don't exercise enough and they admit this. I'm sure if they found themselves phoning a zoo for a health check they'd consider it a wake up call and at least try and do something about it. The first step is admitting you have a problem. From the story it appears she doesn't believe she has one.
That sounds like a compromise I can deal with, though on a different day i would take issue with the polarisation of "good people from bad ones".
Sure, eating less or exercising more cures fatness, but that's a bit like saying drinking less cures alcoholism or any of a range of analogies. It's a problem she got herself into, but so is HIV/Aids. I just think it is a bit more complex than some posts here seem to suggest.
I"m floating about, watching samuri float out the large person. good for him.
idlejon,
I’ve posted a link to Thyroid UK and a link to a book specializing in thyroid treatment. If you want to see any of the figures or papers they are there on the site. If you can’t be arsed to read then them then I or anyone else can help you. You are being pretty stupid to argue something you’ve not read, clearly those facts don’t stop your fingers banging away.
You say Barry Durrant-Peatfield’ treatment is snake oil. Based on what? Where are your facts? What IS his treatment and what do you know about it? It’s strange; you don’t seem to be posting any facts at all, just your (probably drunken) small opinion.
Oddly the people who have been helped by him, and others similar to him, would disagree with your opinion. Why let first hand experience get in the way of your opinion?
Sober up, read the links and maybe you will be in a position to try to debate. It probably wont help your poor debating skill but it will at least provide you with some information to the subject you are trying to argue.
roper,
As far as the snake oil salesman is concerned, among other doubts, I'd be wondering about the motives of anyone who gives up a career in medicine to take up one in complementary therapy (sorry AND nutrition). Especially when they show no altruistic motive in doing so:
There will be an increase in consultation fees from January 2010. The cost of an initial consultation will be £150, with the follow-up fee increased to £70.
You've obviously got your own reasons for believing in this man so I think I might end on this post.
Having found the link that you couldn't be bothered to supply I'm still no wiser as to why the learned Dr thinks that rates of hypothyroidism are so high. An initial scan shows no references to support his 'guesstimate'. Still, he IS the expert, although he does have a vested interest..
Btw, I have a slight interest in this as my thyroid levels were checked a few years ago, after a long series of virus-type illnesses. My levels were found to be normal so my reading on the subject ended at that point.
I do find it amusing that you refer to my 'poor debating skill' when all you've done is sidestep and insult while I've been asking you to address the issue.

I think it's a simple medical condition.....an overactive knife and fork.
Couldn't think of an appropriate knob joke.

I know what his fees are and how long a consultation takes. I also know an Endocrinologist and he charges the same. I’m not sure what your point is?
I also know what Dr Peatfield checks, how he does it and why too. I know what he recommends and why certain nutritional supplements are licensed or labeled the way they are. I have also spoken with Dr Peatfiel directly about thyroid treatments.
As I said in an earlier post, five close friends or relatives have been diagnosed with Thyroid issues, not necessarily by Dr Peatfield, the usual GP visits then Endocrinologist then Dr Peatfield for most. He is the one who has the best results, he is also the one who made the most thorough checks on people who have suspected Thyroid problems. This is not just because he charges £150 for the initial consultation, as I said about I also know of a private Endocrinologist who charges the same.
I have also spoken in depth about thyroid issues with endocrinologist in Spain and the UK as well as GP’s in Span, Gibraltar and the UK. In both private and public sectors.
All of the links I provided are there to be read by anyone. The problem last night was you were very keen to label people, “like snake oil” without knowing what the person has said, what the treatment is and why it is done. You did say yourself you couldn’t be bothered to find it.
The figures I posted last night were not from Dr Peatfield , as was mentioned in my post, They were from Dr Thierry Hertoghe who is “President of the International Hormone Society, which is the third largest hormone society in the world with over 2,300 physicians as members” also in the link I provided.
As far as the debating comment goes, last night your first post was insulting and derogatory and you continued to slur and insult for a while. I would rather not squabble on a forum though and I did take some cheap shots myself, so I apologise for them ( to TJ too). Clearly it’s a heated topic. I'm not making excuses for my insults but have witnessed some of the horror caused by illnesses like these.
On a last note, if you do still have any suspected thyroid issues, get them checked out as thoroughly as you can, [u]through all options[/u], and then decide which is best. It can be a simple illness or an obscene one, the sooner it can be monitored and treated the better for everyone.
Ah, the last bastion of acceptable discrimination.
What about Essex girls? 😆
What, like being a thieving gypsy bastard?
Now that sort of comment will get you banned! I made reference to violent lawless gangs who are of no fixed address and got banned! The misguided STW mods mistook this for racism and when logging into STW got the message "You are banned for 48 hours you nasty ****ing racist". It's a shame that people don't understand that discrimination can be wholly different from racism.
As for this woman. I'd suggest she stopped bleating, lay off the pies and when slim enough, go back and have her NHS funded scan!
The trouble with a "do gooder" society is that there is no differentiation between those who are behaving acceptably and those who couldn't care less about anyone but themselves!
The result is frustration caused by the blatent injustice felt by those who do toe the line! In the end, bad leadership has terrible consequences for everyone.
