People being on smartphones all the time
Yeah, I can't stand it when I go to a restaurant and see a family of 3/4/however many all sitting at a table and everyone is on his or her phone and not talking. I see moms, dads, and kids all simultaneously glued to their phones in lieu of talking, and I see kids all the time with earphones in listening to music at restaurant tables.

I've never seen these in the real world, only on the internet.
The "trend" I hate the most is tattooing and peoples' addiction to smartphones.

Nah
Obesity rates for physicians (average work week 60-80 hours depending on specialty) are significantly lower than for the general population who work on average three fewer hours per day.
You cant tell me that its all about the work culture. People who want to stay fit find time to stay fit. People who don't, wont. Its that simple. Unless you are a single mother working two jobs to support four kids or some shite, I don't want to hear your bitching.

Also don't forget the people who don't know how a regular TWO WAY stop works sometimes. They're the people who actually have the right-of-way while you're stopped, yet they see you stopped and slow down and/or stop even though they DON'T HAVE A STOP SIGN IN FRONT OF THEM.

Another one: How some people think it's impossible for any race other than white to be racist

I don't think I've ever gone through a four way stop smoothly when multiple other cars were involved. Someday either sits there when it's their turn or goes way the frick out of turn and many near wrecks occur.

This is up there with the dumbest and least relevant responses I've read on this site.

You're a severe zero summer, so I understand why you took what I said the way you did.
People that want to stay fit certainly do indeed stay fit.
But, as you put it, 'you can't tell me' that the work culture combined with our food culture is not a huge factor in the amount of people that are out of shape.
Also, obesity is an extreme. Therefore obesity rates are only relevant to a certain degree. The fact is most people are out of shape. A lot of people are very unhealthy but nowhere near being obese for various reasons.

It's a technicality based on the fact that racism as defined requires a group to have the power to suppress the group they treat as inferior.
Just call them bigots so they cant pull this card.

First of all, this isn't an excuse at all for fat teenagers/young adults. Most people until they hit their 30s can eat relatively unhealthy and have no health or weight issues if they exercise regularly. The averaging 20-somethings metabolism requires a lot of excess calories combined with little physical effort to become obese at that age.
Now, once your bodies metabolism catches us to you and diet + exercise are required for staying thin I will agree in principle BUT nobody is forcing you to eat anything. It doesn't take expensive organic shite to be "healthy". Eating well isn't McDonalds cheap, but its not gonna break the bank either.

I don't really know what relevance most of what you just said had to what you were responding to.
But for fun I'll dissect some of it.
You might have missed my comment about bad breeding.
Also, our fake food supply does very much effect young people. Kids that are eating poorly do put on weight while still young, and not everyone is born with good metabolism.
This comes from an outdated mindset. Not being fat does not mean you're healthy. Most people are deficient in essential nutrients and minerals. For example, over 90% of Americans are deficient in iodine, a very essential nutrient for thyroid function.
Growing up eating things with virtually no nutritional benefit is a big deal. It may not make you fat, or visibly unhealthy, but you're without a doubt unhealthy.

I was gonna respond to the whole post, but then read this:
And decided it wasnt worth it.
Around 70% of Americans don't consume enough iodine on a daily basis, but only 15-20% actually qualify as truly iodine deficient. Less than 10% experience symptoms from their iodine deficiency, and many of these people have iodine deficiency as just a symptom of a separate illness.
Even globally, only about 40% of people qualify as iodine deficient. If 90% of Americans were clinically iodine deficient, the obesity rate would be much higher than it is and half the nation would have goiter.

It's like the poverty line, a lot of people are very poor but not considered in poverty.
As a lot of people are severely deficient in nutrients and minerals but not below a government decided threshold for what constitutes being clinically deficient.
And your little 'got ya' moment as a way to disregard everything else was cute.
Your responses prior to this last one have had virtually no relevance to what you were responding to.

Flat bill hats, Fatasses, selfies, and social media in general.
Good god does our society suck major donkey. Pussification of America at it's finest.

Just the general lack of respect people, especially younger people, have for others.
Parents treating their kids like a novelty item or a potential paycheck.
That second one is probably to the point of rage. Disregard.

Cant say Ive seen people treat kids like a novelty, though I imagine the paycheck part is true among certain segments of society.
I have a bigger issue with people not parenting and letting their kids walk all over them.

I'm speaking more so to those "Facebook Moms" who post a ton of pics of their kids, brags about how much they love their kids every other post, when in reality they're a shitty parent at best. It's like the new form of attention whoring.
