Concepts and tolerances of what is fat have changed a lot.

Ironically, not so long ago, when people were generally less fat, more meat on a woman was found more attractive.

Conservative vs. Liberal Beliefs

We all want the same things in life. We want freedom; we want the chance for prosperity; we want as few people suffering as possible; we want healthy children; we want to have crime-free streets. The argument is how to achieve them

LIBERALS – believe in government action to achieve equal opportunity and equality for all. It is the duty of the government to alleviate social ills and to protect civil liberties and individual and human rights. Believe the role of the government should be to guarantee that no one is in need.Liberal policies generally emphasize the need for the government to solve problems.

CONSERVATIVES – believe in personal responsibility, limited government, free markets, individual liberty, traditional American values and a strong national defense. Believe the role of government should be to provide people the freedom necessary to pursue their own goals.Conservative policies generally emphasize empowerment of the individual to solve problems.

NOTE: The terms “left” and “right” define opposite ends of the political spectrum. In the United States, liberals are referred to as the left or left-wing and conservatives are referred to as the right or right-wing. On the U.S. political map, blue represents the Democratic Party (which generally upholds liberal principles) and red represents the Republican party (which generally upholds conservative principles).

Liberals on Abortion - A woman has the right to decide what happens with her body. A fetus is not a human life, so it does not have separate individual rights.The government should provide taxpayer funded abortions for women who cannot afford them.The decision to have an abortion is a personal choice of a woman regarding her own body and the government must protect this right. Women have the right to affordable, safe and legal abortions, including partial birth abortion.

Conservatives on Abortion - Human life begins at conception. Abortion is the murder of a human being. An unborn baby, as a living human being, has separate rights from those of the mother.Oppose taxpayer-funded abortion. Taxpayer dollars should not be used for the government to provide abortions. Support legislation to prohibit partial birth abortions, called the “Partial Birth Abortion* Ban”(*Partial Birth Abortion: the killing of an unborn baby of at least 20 weeks by pulling it out of the birth canal with forceps, but leaving the head inside. An incision is made in the back of the baby’s neck and the brain tissue is suctioned out. The head is then removed from the uterus.)

Also find it rather sadly amusing how americans HATE being labeled by "outsiders" yet have zero problem whitewashing their own either 'liberal' or 'conservative' -- and all the perceived attached evils! LOL!



I wonder...have the concepts and tolerances of what is POOR/POVERTY changed a lot since...say the 16th century?

Of course it has. People in poverty today have flat screen televisions, a new car in the driveway, smart phones, etc.

Nice call.
Except for the fact that none of those technologies (including 'driveway') existed in the 16th century.

Well, golly gee, if we are going to go with the whole "liberal vs. conservative" black and white bullshit, then how come it is that the same people who believe it is an active choice to be poor do NOT think it is a choice to eat a lot, not exercise and smoke?
I guess our concepts of intelligence have changed, as well.
 
In my locality, some unions are pushing to get the poor eating habits of shift-work employees classified as a "Workplace DISEASE".

Holy fuck me silly.

The program showed a nurse who ate vending machine food INSTEAD of packing a healthy, nutritional meal/snacks for herself.


"Oh! I eat like shit because I have to work at night so now I have a disease and the government will take care of me! Oh, woes me!"

Slippery slope.
 
There are alot of factors, fast food, processed foods, video games, over protective parents not letting their kids go out and play because of the 1% chance their kid could get hurt or something, not letting bigger kids play little league football because 'they could hurt' the smaller kids

Alot of reasons for kids but once you are an adult you need to suck it up and start taking care of yourself!
 
Thats capitalism for you. Banks loaning out money they know someone in poverty will never be able to fully pay off.

Actually, I believe it was the politicians who passed laws saying banks HAD to give loans for housing to those who were incapable of paying their mortgage.
 
Even though I am not arrogant. I am glad I make you sick. Vomit for me. :tongue:

Thank you for once again proving my point. Disregard everything of substance, avoid mentioning the part where you were shown to be wrong, select the small, insignificant part you are capable of answering, and end with a smiley. Your posts in a nutshell.

By the way, as you don't seem to know what it means:

ar·ro·gant [ar-uh-guhnt]
adjective
1. making claims or pretensions to superior importance or rights; overbearingly assuming; insolently proud: an arrogant public official.
2. characterized by or proceeding from arrogance: arrogant claims.

Yup. That's you.
 
No one proved anything from you. Now go vomit and do something else. :tongue:

There is nothing to even respond to here, Will. Even by your asshat standards, this is piss-poor. You're letting me down, and I think you're the bottom of the pit here. That's pretty bad.

Nope, more like you.

:1orglaugh
I guess to continue to hold the positions you do, you need to think like you're in fourth grade. You certainly argue like you are.
