Why are people so fat?

For me I am tired of it. I'm surprised not more people are asking, Why are you so skinny? Either way its unhealthy to be fat or skinny. And Why do people keep asking this question over and over again when It has already been posted.

Poverty and Corruption of underdeveloped countries has caused kids and even adults to see the devistating state of hunger and malutrition. Do you believe as a society that we are doing enough to stop this preventable disease?

Children are in bed and the music is really quite good. Funky, even.
Am going to open the patio doors and pretend I'm at a party.
Pickled onion anyone?

I recently accepted a new job and moved to H-Town about a month ago. Last Wednesday my cousin and I went to check out a local mall and went to a near by bar afterwards. There I met Ralph, or should I say Ralph Hamilton (he assisted I call him by his whole name). For whatever reason he is treated like some kind of celebrity, doesn’t wait for drinks (no matter how crowded it is), the restroom, and has no regard for anything or anyone. I don’t know who he or the north side of town thinks he is; personally I didn’t see anything special. But when I asked around the bar I got the same ignorant response, “He’s Ralph Hamilton!” Nobody gets A-list treatment for just showing up. Who is this guy, what does he do, is he rich, or is H-Town just crazy? Let me know!

I know that Christians believe in being saved, but I have heard about Jews not believing in Jesus' return. Can someone elaborate on this. I am not stating any facts here. I have been confused as to why Jews don't believe Jesus is coming back? Do I have all my thoughts and facts mixed up? I need some good honest answers...anyone who answers in a slanderous way, I will report them for abuse. I am very serious about this question.

Is it of the same energy systems that physical matter consists of, or are they just chemical reactions that the brain interprets as an illusion of consciousness?
(For those who wish to go deeper -- Do you think the ideas that come to us exist in an environment that may be explorable, now that we have experience of them existing. Post-life?)

For the blessing at mealtime I say the same thing each time. I make sure I do not get called on at church to pray. I don't go to some things because I'm afraid I will be called on to pray. I hate it and would like to feel confident to be able to do it.

Consider two very religious people, a Pastor and a Teacher. One day the pastor loses the plot, gets drunk, smokes weed, sniffs some white powder, then enters into a total rage of madness. Drives off into town, breaks into a house where a teacher and his family were saying their evening prayers before retiring for the night.

The pastor knocks out the teacher, rapes the wife, kills the children, steals their money, heads off down the road and is caught by police. The pastor is put on trial and receives the death penalty.

Before execution, the Pastor once again finds and renews his love for God and repents. The teacher on the other hand loses all faith and belief in God, and hates God for letting his family be killed by the wicked pastor. The teacher becomes Atheist.

Why would any good God welcome the wicked pastor to Heaven and banish the good teacher to Hell?

Following up from sorry_to_disappoint's question about why we don't have trailer parks in the UK:

http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aj0GdgDBcBZ7rc7SrddPZ0iKBgx.?qid=20060819142212AAJ6NaN

In the UK poorer families live in Council Estates which are estates of houses and flats built by the local council or a housing association, with cheaper rents than you'd have to pay if you rented from a private landlord. People who live on Council Estates tend to be stereotypically the "Chavs" - basically poor "White Trash", of the type that lives in Trailers in America

I've seen some American films where they feature "Housing Projects" - are these similar to Council Estates? They seem to be mainly black families in these projects, is this true or do you get all races living in them?

Something isn't right here. I don't remember the American people ever associating themselves with an owl. And I don't understand the spider web at all. Whats up with that?

Considering that its fact that very short men have much harder lives than the general population (make less money, date much much less - if at all, or remain an involuntary virgin for life)) - would any of you ladies abort your fetus if you knew that (he) was only going to grow up to 5'3". State your answer and a rational reason.

Notes: I mean if you hypothetically knew that IT WAS going to be a guy.

If I was a girl I would abort him because personally, as a short guy (5'6") at 21, life sucks!!!! - no girl (23 girls I asked out so far) has ever given me a chance even with all the confidence that I show. Everyday is constant suffering in my computer room hoping for a quick painless death. I wish I never existed. Maybe Im just too ugly perhaps I should kill myself?

Is this just a disguise for a way to tax the fundamentally stupid and the poor?

99% of you don't get fat because of genetics! A lot of people are stress but there's more to life than just the refrigirator! Mcdonalds doesn't force you to eat!! And society doesn't pressure people to be fat, its the other way around. If you exercised and stop eating, we would be able to feed all of the world's hungry with the excess food!!!!!!!

the christian holiday is based on pagan saturnalia holiday, christianity is just a religion that was made to match up with past pagan holidays, right?

Since Christians say Jesus was God. Isn't he the one who sent the old testament?
