People don't overeat because there's some biological imperative to do so; they do it because eating food, especially modern, unreasonably tasty food, is so damn fun. Just like smoking, alcohol, and drugs are fun.
Frankly you're an idiot.
I've never been tempted by smoke or alcohol or drugs. They are about as much fun to me as plucking my own eyes out. Not everyone has the same drives when it comes to addictive substances and pretending that is the case so you can blame people for their inate tendencies is asinine and unproductive.
If smoking was so much fun to you that you walked around thinking about it 24/7 you'd have issues quitting smoking too. If you walked around hungry even after a big meal you'd be fat too.

Yes, but you sound like fat people ahve no choice in their diet. They do and what they eat should be curved.
You've missed the point. You wouldn't ask an alcoholic ot just quit cold turkey. Alcoholics have a choice of what they put in their mouth too. It's just not that easy, and i'm saying it's even harder when the thing you're addicted to is REQUIRED to survive.
By the way I"ve lost weight twice in my life. BOth times required 2 hrs a day excercise minimum AND eating like a rabbit. Counting calories isn't really the answer. Minimising them is. Stressing about how many calories have gone in is stupid. Eat lean meat and chicken and salad and cut out both fat and carbs and you don't have to count squat. The trouble is neither calorie counting nor eating like a vampire rabbit work long term.
Have you ever noticed that some people don't NEED to count calories and their weight is just fine?
Family portrayals seem to reflect the aspirations of American families more than the reality.
People watch them for escapism. You know. To ESCAPE from the drudgery and unpleasantness of daily life. What did you expect.
Working-class people living in well-to-do suburbs in big houses. I'm not a big TV watcher, but I can think of a couple: the Cosby show and Fresh Prince.
And what would a realistic Cosby show look like? The kid's friends getting shot in Harlem? If you're going to write a TV show about a black family living in a ghetto you better be writing it to show how they're getting out of it or no one will watch (who needs to be reminded?) except those who'll moan about rascism.
The Fresh prince was about a rap star who made it big living with rich relatives. How do you expect the rap star to live? In squallor? Who wants to see a show about a rap star that didn't make it and ended up working at the local gas station???
I haven't seen much of either show,
On slashdot this makes you an expert of course. Hey so am I. I hated Cosby and never much got into FPOBA
but I think the Fresh Prince guy would have to be in very rare company even among lawyers to live like that
It's called a Cinderella story. It's fiction. It's suppose to be fun not real.
Servers that scale: check. Resources brought online as needed: check. Software as a service: Check.
And that's what make MMORPGs SUCK in my book. I can't play on the train (unless I spend a lot on wireless broadband - it ain't cheap in Aus). I have to rely on servers being up. I don't have time for any of that. If I get an hour to play a game, it needs to be available then and there whenever and whereever I get a chance to play.
If I want online chat I'll socialise with real world friends and family. I even have a couple of backups (mobile phone and land line). If you think I'm a luddite keep in mind I was on Skype and MSN with my mother 2 nights ago (after going round and fixing the security on her wireless network). I know there are people who love these games - even to the point of neglecting "real" life, but I just can't get into a system where my pleasure is at some company's control. I don't want to play a game against a freakishly good 12 year old. I might be interested in a game against a real world friend but I don't want something that saps my time and requires friends interested in the same niche as me.
By all means diversify but can we please keep traditional on a cd/dvd games that don't require a cloud, or even a network?
Gaming on Weed might sounds like fun with all them clouds but the reality is you'll wake up in your mid 30s, broke, with no life and wish you hadn't. Besides everyone knows your reaction time is better when you're sober.

The dangers of cheeseburgers are also well known, but I don't hear families whose loved ones die of heart disease feel the need to get on soapboxes when people die of heart disease.
You either are not a fat guy or you don't have a family that gives a damn. Fat guys do get hassled. Now you can quit smoking altogether. You can quit drinking alcohol altogether. You can quit drugs altogether. You can't quit eating altogether without death following in short order. Unlike cravings for drugs/alcohol/cigarettes hunger for food is normal and natural and not something you want to curve. Also people have very different hunger drives and metabolise their food very differently. Makes food one of the hardest addictions.

Seriously, why can't people just mind their own business?
Because like it or not you live in a shared society and use shared resources such as our medical system. I'm not saying it's right that people don't mind their own business but I do not pretend I don't understand why it is how it is.
There's also the more generic "donate to science" option, which usually means you get to help train the next doctors going through Gross Anatomy
Yup "Gross" Anatomy sounds about right when you're a tubby dude like I am. Poor doctors.
But that is exactly what I've asked for. Couldn't care less what happens to my remains so either donation or medical research is probably the best chance that SOMEONE will get use of my fat hide!
Why is copyright law so bad? Because 99% of people don't know anything about it, and don't give a fuck. These are the people we need to win over, and it can't be done by yelling
It can't be done at all by posting on a "nerd" forum like slashdot. So by your logic why are you here? And why are you putting down my post here. What's the honest chance of someone even referencing my post? It's unfortunate you don't find what I said compelling but I don't post to satisfy every stranger who happens to read it.
I don't need to mud-wrestle Allen to beat her...

Why can't you just use exclamation points? All-caps may be yelling... for idiots
That's your opinion. Trouble is YOU aren't writing my posts so *I* get to choose how *I* emphasise what I write.
English already has a convention for that. Besides, it would be more effective if you expressed it more artfully through your writing, rather than resorting the the cheapest possible method.
An exclamation mark, properly used, is only good for emphasising an entire sentence. If you're using it in the middle of a sentence that isn't correct. As for writing more effectively, how much time should I spend preparing and proof-reading a comment for consumption on an informal discussion board. Still thanks for your abusive critique of my writing. I've filed it in the waste basket as appropriate.

Did you buy some of her drugs? When people behave this badly, they should expect to have abuse hurled at her. A polite "Excuae me, but I do believe you're wrong" is not going to be heard.
