94. The onus is on you Safe, to provide evidence for your assertion...
Mon May 14, 2012, 08:16 AM
May 2012

That the subject in question has complete control over her weight. You issued a forceful statement concluding that she does without any knowledge of the subject's health or medical history.

Are you aware of the fact that obesity is common among those who suffer neuropsychiatric disorders? Considering the woman's behavior and comments, this may be a possibility. Did you think of that? Hyperphagia is a common side effect of many psychotropic medications. Would you by default assume an individual suffering from a psychiatric disorder to be in complete control of their dietary behavior?

Can you provide evidence the subject was not suffering from a neuropsychiatric disorder?

Are you also aware that several endocrine diseases have obesity as one their clinical manifestations? Cushing's syndrome comes to mind.

Can you provide evidence the subject was not suffering from endocrine disease?

I can go one, but these examples alone effectively counter you statement in post #4.

As for asking for details of my medical history? Yeah, you wish... What I have disclosed is the limit of my comfort zone. Accept it on face value or use your apparently fertile imagination and powers of remote diagnosis to create the missing elements

"But, not 100% like you are claiming."

Nope, never claimed such a thing. YOU are the only participant who has made a "100%" claim.

"I can see when someone is obsessing about a topic and can't let it go. I'm assuming that this is not being caused by a medication.'

Are you a MD Safe? An expert in the field of psychology?

You must have me confused with someone else... Marengo May 2012 #46
I'm talking about your outrage safeinOhio May 2012 #55
LOL! Nice try, no dice... Marengo May 2012 #60

Neither you or I safeinOhio May 2012 #83
I don't understand... mvccd1000 May 2012 #75
None of this matters... Marengo May 2012 #78
Why do I feel you are going overboard on this. safeinOhio May 2012 #82

He wasn't carrying a gun on him. GreenStormCloud May 2012 #33
You are correct. safeinOhio May 2012 #69
Non sequitur. My line of inquiry concerns obesity as an alleged indicator of character fault. Marengo May 2012 #47
And yet... mvccd1000 May 2012 #51
Irrelevant... Marengo May 2012 #61
Safe did apologize and removed the offensive remarks. safeinOhio May 2012 #68

Yes, you did... Marengo May 2012 #92
Ok, you gave yourself as an example. safeinOhio May 2012 #93
The onus is on you Safe, to provide evidence for your assertion... Marengo May 2012 #94
If you can point out, safeinOhio May 2012 #95
It will be my pleasure... Marengo May 2012 #96
I did not say 'the individual in question has complete control over her weight." safeinOhio May 2012 #99
And therein lies the problem with your statement Safe Marengo May 2012 #100
Logic? safeinOhio May 2012 #101
Perhaps you explain to me how that statement... Marengo May 2012 #102
Interpreted? safeinOhio May 2012 #104
Considering your education, I am shocked to discover you … Marengo May 2012 #97
I would have if your real name and information was on your safeinOhio May 2012 #98
This information is not required or necessary... Marengo May 2012 #103
behavior? safeinOhio May 2012 #105
Speaking of behavior mvccd1000 May 2012 #106
When using weight or body type as an assumed measure of charachter... Marengo May 2012 #107
No defense of your unethical behavior? Marengo May 2012 #108
You people are still arguing about this? Glaug-Eldare May 2012 #109
Still flashing that badge, eh? Marengo May 2012 #110
That's a no, then. Have fun Glaug-Eldare May 2012 #111
Yep, sure is... Marengo May 2012 #112
Sorry but you are a jerk. Anything you had to say means nothing because of your bigoted post. nt Walk away May 2012 #11
Sorry I offended you. safeinOhio May 2012 #19
So overweight people are safe. Who will you insult next? Blacks? The Handicapped?.... Walk away May 2012 #20
Interesting to see... mvccd1000 May 2012 #52
shame you let your OP go astray DrDan May 2012 #24
I figured it was more about the lady's asinine comment Glaug-Eldare May 2012 #25
yeah - you are probably right - just reread it DrDan May 2012 #26
Which is it. Do you hate SYG laws or do think they need some rewording like the OP said. aikoaiko May 2012 #29
at a minimum, reworded to add some sanity DrDan May 2012 #35
How would you word them? n/t Glaug-Eldare May 2012 #38
are you suggesting no changes are needed to the way the law is stated in Florida? DrDan May 2012 #53
I'm not a lawyer gejohnston May 2012 #57
well - a lot currently involved with the case seem to think it does DrDan May 2012 #58
perhaps it should gejohnston May 2012 #70
The question is what specific changes need to be made hack89 May 2012 #77
I too think it important to clarify nonprovocation with SYG. aikoaiko May 2012 #64
I think most agree with that DrDan May 2012 #67
ever take a history class? gejohnston May 2012 #32
I am quite sure you understood my point DrDan May 2012 #36
Yeah, but gejohnston May 2012 #37
a description of the justice I refer to follows: DrDan May 2012 #54
Are you serious? gejohnston May 2012 #56
"Actually, no it does not. Nor is it the goal of SYG." - guess that is now resolved DrDan May 2012 #59
I didn't see anything in your OP where she said anything about "a black man". rl6214 May 2012 #115
100% spot on; all fat women want revenge for what Michelle has done to their Twinkies. ileus May 2012 #8
Safe, you really must be a rude and uncaring person! But... Logical May 2012 #12
You are absolutely right as safeinOhio May 2012 #14
Sounds like you have't learned anything but how to excuse yourself. Walk away May 2012 #21
Corrected. safeinOhio May 2012 #15
Now we're talkin' Glaug-Eldare May 2012 #18

"You might get shot" safeinOhio May 2012 #17
Riveting tale slackmaster May 2012 #22
The poor lady. Remmah2 May 2012 #23
Last time I checked the word "fat" was an adjective tularetom May 2012 #27
What would you change? Callisto32 May 2012 #28
Typical of what? gejohnston May 2012 #31
I was talking about those safeinOhio May 2012 #40
then she has been watching gejohnston May 2012 #43
She has been listing to too many safeinOhio May 2012 #45
That too, but gejohnston May 2012 #49
What does being "half Irish" got to do with anything in this post rl6214 May 2012 #118
Just like the death penalty, safeinOhio May 2012 #41
not correct and not relevant gejohnston May 2012 #42
We can agree to not agree, then. safeinOhio May 2012 #44
each state is different gejohnston May 2012 #48
I'll bet over the next safeinOhio May 2012 #50
She probably thinks Liberals should be shot on sight, too. BiggJawn May 2012 #85
"Bigot" was the first thing that crossed my mind JustABozoOnThisBus May 2012 #86
Well, Glaug-Eldare May 2012 #87
