Another example of liberal entitlement mentality....

Why on earth would you think that? It's one of the states with the least adult obesity. It comes in at #49 here and this site points out it is among the thinnest states: "Colorado repeats as the slimmest state for the sixth consecutive year. The District of Columbia regained its position as second slimmest state, a spot that it had held for three years until it was edged out by Hawaii last year."

Your powers-of-observation-of-the-human-condition-developed-since-age-six need some re-calibration...

There's a lot of Orientals in Hawaii. That probably makes them look thinner on average. I saw plenty of Polynesian and a few Caucasian women who were between 400 to 600lbs. It was pretty common. Anyone who's ever been to Hawaii would know what Ldsfaqs was talking about.

I get where you're coming from, but how in the world can you read the post above that states Hawaii is 49th in the Union for obesity rates/slimmest and then simply not either:

1) Acknowledge it.

or

2) Not accept it.

You come across as being impervious to facts and common sense. I'd like to think that's not the case?

.... I wasn't perfect..... I remember shortly before I met my wife in Hawaii, I would be there, and especially seeing so many fat people in Hawaii, likely the fattest state in the union, and thinking to myself, how can people "allow" themselves to get that fat...

1. I said "likely".... maybe you need to learn to read. For an English expert you're quite poor at it.

2. I was giving a story of when I really first had the thoughts in that subject matter a great deal. (not that I hadn't had the thoughts before, it's just they didn't impact me as much previously). The weight of Polynesians and others in Hawaii was highly noticeable.

3. Maybe Hawaii is one of the least fattest. I haven't been to most states, so I can't say. That wasn't the point of the story.
It's also possible the darker skin tones made the fat stand out more.
It's also possible I didn't care about fat people until then.
It's also possible those in Hawaii don't go to the doctor as much, so their stats aren't as accurate.
It's also possible I primarily had only spent time on Molokai and the North side of Oahu which there are a LOT of fatter folks.
Who knows.....

It was certainly the fatest place I had ever lived.

There's another possibility.
Hawaii likely has the most "ultra-fat" per capita, thus the fat was more noticeable, compared to otherwise people can be just a little obese and it's considered "obese" by medical standards.

Another possibility is there are less people, it's smaller, so I was seeing more fat people, but compared to a huge state like California the fat people are far more spread out thus not as noticeable.

4. I wasn't making any sort of "definitive" judgment which is why I used the qualifying term "likely". Any of the above factors could have easily influenced my simplistic observation in the matter, especially the last two. I wasn't doing a "detailed study" on what state has the highest number of fat people. That's a non-important subject. I primarily only study in depth important subjects of worth, values, morality, truth, etc.

So spare me your liberal jerk misrepresenting judgment.

In other words,

An ignorant mind is precisely not a spotless, empty vessel, but one that’s filled with the clutter of irrelevant or misleading life experiences, theories, facts, intuitions, strategies, algorithms, heuristics, metaphors, and hunches that regrettably have the look and feel of useful and accurate knowledge. viewtopic.php?f=5&t=42452&start=84

1. I said "likely".... maybe you need to learn to read. For an English expert you're quite poor at it.

This, from arguably the board's best example of poor use of the language.

2. I was giving a story of when I really first had the thoughts in that subject matter a great deal. (not that I hadn't had the thoughts before, it's just they didn't impact me as much previously). The weight of Polynesians and others in Hawaii was highly noticeable.

In other words, you have no idea of what you are talking about.

3. Maybe Hawaii is one of the least fattest. I haven't been to most states, so I can't say. That wasn't the point of the story.

The point is that you cluelessly spout nonsense, and Blixa just owned your dimensionally significant buttocks.

It's also possible the darker skin tones made the fat stand out more.

I don't know; I can't imagine that a large brown-skinned mass would stand out better than a large, pasty-white mass. Can you tell us why you think so?

It's also possible I didn't care about fat people until then.

Why should you? You don't care too much about your own condition or that of your children; we certainly can't assume that you'd bother with anyone else with that being the case.

It's also possible those in Hawaii don't go to the doctor as much, so their stats aren't as accurate.

It's also possible that this is another statement that you've just pulled out of your rotund rear, out of desperation to try to deflect from the fact that you have no idea about what you are prattling on about.

It's also possible I primarily had only spent time on Molokai and the North side of Oahu which there are a LOT of fatter folks.
Who knows.....

Yes, who knows? Certainly not ldsfaqs, that's for sure.

It was certainly the fatest place I had ever lived.

Oh, the fatest place? You mean, the place with the most fate?

There's another possibility.
Hawaii likely has the most "ultra-fat" per capita, thus the fat was more noticeable, compared to otherwise people can be just a little obese and it's considered "obese" by medical standards.

It's also possible that this is another statement that you've just pulled out of your gargantuan gluteus, out of desperation to try to deflect from the fact that you have no idea about what you are incoherently babbling about.

Another possibility is there are less people, it's smaller, so I was seeing more fat people, but compared to a huge state like California the fat people are far more spread out thus not as noticeable.

It's also possible that this is another statement that you've just pulled out of your behemoth backside, out of desperation to try to deflect from the fact that you have no idea about what you are unintelligibly uttering.

4. I wasn't making any sort of "definitive" judgment which is why I used the qualifying term "likely". Any of the above factors could have easily influenced my simplistic observation in the matter, especially the last two.

Indeed, 'simplistic observation' it was.

So spare me your liberal jerk misrepresenting judgment.

Try writing something that actually reflects the facts, and maybe you won't be called on the carpet for it.

Hawaii doesn't even make the top ten.

Also for faqsless, neither assuming nor knowing one is seeing an element of the mode constitutes calculating a mean.

Um no, it doesn't. Quite the opposite is true.

Well, ajax, let's look at the whole concept of "entitlement mentality." Our country was founded on the notion of an "entitlement mentality." The Declaration of Independence states that humans, by the fact of their birth, are entitled to certain "inalienable rights, including" "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." The fight isn't over "entitlement" vs. "non-entitlement" -- it's about what is included in those inalienable rights that are reserved to individuals unless specifically limited. Conservatives have the same entitlement mentality as liberals -- it's the content of the entitlement that differs. So, the entire OP is bull.

That substantive enough for you?

We are not talking about "adult" mutual consent, we are talking about attraction itself.
Further, you are mistaken to think that there is not mutual consent even in child molestation or pedophilia, especially concerning those in the teen years. Most teens are already sexually active by the time they are 13-14, thus choices are already being made, an adult getting in the mix wouldn't technically make a difference if there is the same free, no-forced choices occurring. Of course, SOCIETY places a standard of wrong in that, but that's not the same as what people actually do and think. To give an example, when I was in the Marine Corps, during my apostasy period, I had sex with what I presumed to be a 15 year old prostitute. Of course, she claimed to be 18, but I could tell otherwise. Was that wrong, certainly, and certainly by my own standards today, but it was certainly consensual and non-power based or forced. Of course, her pimp was clearly exerting power, cause we took longer then we apparently were supposed to, thus he wanted to make sure he was getting money, but anyway, all a sad thing.
