You don't get elected VP in this country sir.
Being half British myself, with the other half descended from Quebec, I've always enjoyed debate Parliament style.I'm not a sir. Please pay attention to the info under the avatar....unless you'd like me to address you as 'miss'.
I rolled my eyes over that one. Even "sissy exercises", as he was doing them, have benefit.Which makes me wonder why was he attacked by some on the right for that video of him doing sissy exercises in a hotel gym.
How so?
Is it your claim that no person of heft has ever been an effective world leader?
Yeah yeah okay so yes we can have a fatass be our president but then what's that say to kids who only see the fat person on TV, their minds don't intercept anything else but that the president is fat.
Can you imagine Christie standing next to Putin? What a catastrophic photo op that would be. Politically that stuff matters in how the country is perceived whether you like it or not.
You know what else sends a message of irresponsibility.
ADVOCATING PICKING A PRESIDENT WITH THE SAME STANDARDS AS A GOD DAMNED PROM QUEEN.
First off, kids don't have the intellectual discernment to form an objective opinion to begin with, so the value of their opinion is minimal, at best. That's why we educate them as they grow up. That's what growing up is, learning how to discern.Yeah yeah okay so yes we can have a fatass be our president but then what's that say to kids who only see the fat person on TV, their minds don't intercept anything else but that the president is fat.

Second, sure, shallow people will perceive and/or spin such things negatively,
If you chop up and cherry-pick my words, sure, you can take whatever you want.So basically, what I took from your post:
"Yes, it will have a negative impact on children because they can't discern yet beyond imagery and shallowness..but my biases completely negate being able to be honest about this issue."
so you'd rather have a svelte moron than a fat rational thinker?I'm just saying, if you want your nation to be judged as a fat blob then elect a fat blob. It's basic human sociology. If your tribe leader is fat it says a lot about the overall state of that tribe that he could even be tribe leader. Other nations will judge your insecurities based off the fact that your leader is fat. Every human knows a fat persons insecurities.

okay
now how is that a healthy message to send to children....don't worry about using your brain, just look fit?
Because there's plenty of rational fit people. We don't have to elect a fat slob to national office. It doesn't bode well for their supposed intellect and all your other insane arguments when they can't obviously even manage their own bodies.
Look at the mass illogical reality of your own logic. You're arguing that we should elect a fat responsible person who can manage the world.. yet they cannot seem to manage their own bodies.. Oh yes, that adds up perfectly..
So apparently, fat people are stupid.
It's pretty sad that you're applying the same standards used when up chicks at a bar to selecting our next president.

So responsible.. What stalwarts of self control and rationality..
actually if you read my post, I didn't advocate nor argue for or against anything, rather I questioned so I could better understand your logic
so what fat slob are you afraid is going to be your next president?
:shock:I read your illogical post. It was illogical and I noted that and you seemed not to be fond of that notation which I assumed you wouldn't be.
I'm not afraid a fat slob will be president. All a president represents is image to 99.9% of everyone and anything. Children are shallow and see things in images. It sends the wrong message to have an irresponsible fat person running the country. It's simply degrading to a country to be run by a physically irresponsible human.
No we're just using basic logic here, nothing fancy. Think on it. Is a fat person really the most responsible policy maker you can find? How responsible could they really truly be if they can't control their own bodies?
Is electing a medically fat US President sending the wrong message to US children?
Should this even be allowed considering the health message it sends to US children that the leader of the free world can be medically fat?
"Basic logic" dictates that fat people cannot make responsible public policy?
Well sir, I don't know, you tell me.
Your in shape, healthy hypothetical daughter, son that you've spent tens of thousands educating and clothing over the years walks in with a visibly fat person who they're dating. If you're being honest, which I'm not at all assuming you actually will be, are you thrilled with that situation when said suitor leaves and you have time to talk to your son, daughter? How is that conversation really going to go do you think if you're being honest with yourself? Are you truly seeing that man, woman your son, daughter brought home in a "responsible" light or an "irresponsible" light?
Again I'm not assuming you're going to be honest with that question but if you are honest then we all know what the answer would be.
My "situation" would be that if that person makes my hypothetical child happy and treats them properly, if they want to date a fat person, that's their business.
Some people are simply predisposed to suffering from weight problems. It happens. They're not all weak-willed pigs strapping on a feedbag. Your blatant, obvious disdain of the overweight is duly noted.
I so do not believe that would be your reaction after said fat person left and you were talking to your hypothetical daughter.
