It's wrong to yell hurtful things at people....but it's also pretty silly to talk about an eating disorder as if it were a problem that someone has no control over. You can seek help. You can listen to people around you when they tell you that you're seriously hurting yourself.

The fucking victim mentality that's been taking over this country is pathetic. Infantilizing people does nothing to help them. I'm not saying they should be publicly berated...but I also don't think that sighing "Oh....poor so and so" is much help either.

I wholheartedly agree.
I think many people love the sympathy, commiserating, bitching and whining so much that they don't WANT to make themselves better. People really get off of being messed up.
All you wankers are really boring and I don't feel sorry for your lame ass.
And just for the record, I know I am guilty of wanking and whining too. . .

There's a broad spectrum of seriousness with Eating Disorder. Some people on the mild end of the spectrum have control over what they do. People at the moderate/sever end might need extensive long term therapy to get back some control over their lives. Some anorexics spend years learning behaviours to avoid calories. There's often complicated family stuff going on too, so a family member saying "You should eat something" is often part of the problem. Really, it isn't as simple as someone making a choice not to eat anything today.

The fucking victim mentality that's been taking over this country is pathetic. Infantilizing people does nothing to help them. I'm not saying they should be publicly berated...but I also don't think that sighing "Oh....poor so and so" is much help either.

But I agree with this bit. A lot of people seem keen to attach a medical label to themselves when they're not anywhere near that diagnosis. This doesn't help them or the people with that label.

Yeah... because once someone has some money, they become totally worthless as human beings, right?

Theres a lot of societal problems that come to the forefront of the media, thus society, because a rich person either A: is directly affected by the problem, or B: decides to become involved with it. Don't bag on rich people because they are rich, bag on them if they truly deserve it.

Please start naming the possitive things Nicole Richie has done with her affluence. Aside from being a disgusting role model for capitalism's youth and a heroin addict.

So it depends on positive things people do for society... name what you've done positive for society... as self righteous as I am... I can't name one thing I've done positive for society (and yes... I've donated money to the local "feel good" charity" doesn't count).
