Fat people to get free slimming classes?

Question

why can't the majority of these slobs get off there backsides and get a job instead of the taxpayers funding them?

Answer 1

I agree with sweet heart. There are many perople in this world that need help with quitting something or changing their life around.  Some have reason and some just slip into it.  There are drink, drug and food and not forgetting smoking. addictions also many more.  If some is serious about quitting they should get help.  I wonder how many people who is against the fat getting help a smoker? Smokers use the NHS as much as fat perople.

I will also point out that i know 2 people who do use the exercise referal program one due to weight and one due to mental issues.  The fat one is in FULL TIME work.... So as a tax payer and using the service please explain what the problem is.  Not all fat people are sitting on their back sides all day.

Answer 2

you do realise most of the time it's not overweight peoples fault that they are overweight.  It is a fairly wrong assumption you made when you suggested that people who are overweight must be lazy.

There are people on Job Seekers Allowance, and not all those are overweight, just a bunch of lazy d**k weeks with no life prospects.

There are people on Disabled Allowance that shouldn't be there - because they are too lazy, but again they ain't all fat.

I'm more pissed about the immigrants we get in our country that are entitled too our free NHS - especially when they don't contribute towards the system. I would rather my money went towards paying overweight people get their self esteem back.

Also i think you need to get real.  The way you judged this is completely both morally, and politically incorrect - one thing you should know also is not everybody gets life easy, and those that do have life easy, most definately should help those that need it.

It's really sad that it upsets you that people should get help in happiness. The happier people are the more money they'll make and the better they'll treat their kids, which will make them better children for our future. You are being short minded and not looking at the wonderful aspets in the long run. We arn't upset that you are happy, so why should you be upset that other people want hapiness as well?  

Answer 4

I think it's quite unfair that other people actually bothered about their health can get out of their house and go to the gym knowing that at whatever the cost is it's going to benefit their health whilst others just sit around and wait until they get very unwell only then realising what's happened.

Answer 5

The majority probably do actually have jobs.  Taxpayers may be funding slimming classes but that is a completely different thing from getting a job.  

Answer 6

Yeah, I have spent my whole life looking after myself keeping myself fit and I get rewarded by having to pay for people that can't be bother to stop eating c**p and look after themselves.

I think everyone should have to go for a health check if your overweight then you should have to pay the government money and then a few months later if you still haven't lost weight you need to pay more and carry on like this until they finally get the message.

You hit the nail on the head!  They are so blinking lazy and expect us to pick up the tab.  It's maddening.

Answer 10

Interesting how you want to attack a person for something that is just as rooted in psychological issues as a manic depressant. Why don't people care about other people any more?
