Gangbangers are ghetto people in gangs who have turf wars and shoot each other and deal drugs.

Gangbang is when a bunch (at least 3?) of guys have sex with one girl at the same time, taking turns. It is often done by Gangbangers, but not necessarily.


I'm with Murderdoll. Fat people should be taxed as they overpopulate our hospitals with their obesity related ailments, raise the cost of health care, and encourage this behavior of overeating by their acceptance by society. Overeating is an addiction and these addicts should be treated like any other junkie.

Actually doing what I do, basically all the dirty work ,I don't get paid much at all. I make $9.25 an hr to take care of 16+ mean old people that like to fight you. Well, not all of them are like that but the majority I'd say. Nurses make anywhere from like $16-$30 maybe more to basically pass meds, change dressings, and chart. They actually are required to do more technically , patient care wise, but they think they don't have to. But my facility is pretty fucked up like that. We get no credit for what we do and yet we are what's keeping a lot of those people alive.

Quit.

I don't want to quit because I've already been there 3 years and I'm about to go to nursing school so I can break free from being an underdog. Plus I do actually care for a lot of the people there and don't want to leave them despite having a burning hatred for one in particular. Also, I only work two days a week and I get paid full time for 32 hrs...I work two 12's on the weekend so I only have to put up with the insanity for 2 days a week.

100% agreed.

Dammit. Knew I was over-taxed. :mad:

Depends on who enjoys it more. It could be one or the other.

No no, we should tax the people paying to watch gangbangs. Like a cigarette tax, it should be passed down to those who finance it.

And come on guys, fat people are not clogging up our health care system. Diabetes and heart disease are just a rampant among skinny folks and marathon runners for that matter. I would say half of the taxable fat people I know have tried 10x as hard to lose weight as I have. And probably 10x as hard as any of you reading this too. If someone is fat because they're just lazy, then sure go right ahead and tax them. But you can't punish someone because they don't fit your mold, some people are just fat. Some people are healthier fat, then they would be after destroying their bodies forcing themselves to lose weight.

That being said, lets also tax the Bulimic and anorexic people too. Hell, why not just have a hospitall tax. If you ever have to be hospitalised, your taxes will be increased 2 fold.

I was just answering Ferret's question. No, I don't think that should be taxed.


@Milktoaste
Sure, there are a lot of skinny people with diabetes, but type II diabetes is usually acquired by fat people. It's not that only fat people get certain diseases, but when certain diseases are usually acquired by complications of being overweight or by other diseases that are also complications of being overweight, I don't want to have to pay for them. Being a few pounds overnight is not a big deal, but when your obesity (and I'm talking obese and not overweight here) is making things hard for the people who actually car about their health, I have a problem with that.

You say I shouldn't punish people for fitting my mold, well if that mold is being healthy and not destroying your body, then yeah they should be punished. Maybe then they'll learn what they are doing to themselves. My mom is a food addict and I've watched her health and quality of life deteriorate over the years. She has type II diabetes and whole other laundry list of health problems all related to her weight and lack of exercise that constantly puts her in and out of the hospital, most of which is now irreversible. Not to mention all the medications she has to take four times a day. And she still has to have her potato chips and ice cream and whatever else she is jonesing for that is bad for her.

I just think it's sad that there's so much gluttony in our part of the world and yet other places they have learn to only eat the little amount of food they have when they need it. As The Doctor once put it, half the world is too fat and half the world is too thin. We eat because we can or we're bored or we just like food while they merely eat to stay alive.
