You are being deliberately insulting, and not helpful at all. Obesity is
often genetic, and even when it's not, certain eating disorders seem to be
caused by mental disorders rather than lack of personal willpower. You
denigrate because you do not understand and have a religious agenda to
push onto those who already have problems of their own. I shudder to think
that you and I are both identified with the same religious beliefs.

This from a man who got his ass handed to him in talk.origins over
massively dishonest behavior and for utterly humiliating remarks towards
an honest and decent poster who happened to know more about a subject than

Piggybacking: I am not a poster on SSFA; I am a regular on talk.origins.

You are an asshole, Davey. What's more, you are a fucking asshole. You
don't have any damn clue about anything that you're talking about. Your
ignorance precedes you everywhere you go. Your performance art might allow
you to pass through entertainment groups unnoticed in your dishonesty, but
that shit don't fly in talk.origins. We call people on their bullshit
around here.
One of the central understandings of modern-day biology is that
populations are understood not just by looking at the averages and the middle
of the distribution curves, but by looking at the individual organisms and
data points. Saying, "most people like skinny women" doesn't say a damn
thing about the value, even of the sexual desirability, of those who do
not fit within your accepted curves. People have widely divergent tastes
in sexual partners, and so long as individuals maintain relationships of
an intimate nature with other partners, they will give their genetic
inheritance to later generations.
In short, different strokes for different folks. What you may find
attractive is not what all people find attractive, and even if it was,
there's more to life than sex, and more to sex than appearances. It is
precisely those people who are less concerned with their physical
appearance who have the time, energy, and focus to actually make some
progress towards a better world. Certainly they are much more interesting
people.
And just for the record, attractiveness in body types changes quite
frequently even in mass culture. Playboy centerfolds of the fifties and
sixties were much larger than the current crop, and the pin-ups of the
forties and dancing girls of the earlier generations were even larger. The
modern-day attitude towards being able to see a woman's ribcage are
historical accident that come from a number of sociological reasons, but
are in no way indicative of a general rule that can be applied
cross-culture. To say otherwise is to be utterly, astonishingly, wrong.
Am I getting through yet?
