This is a normal post It's just Gluttony
One of the seven deadly sins Gluttony was first defined by the Egyptian Monk Evagius Ponticus as "anxiety about one's health, or becoming ill". Perversely in some people this anxiety can cause them to to overeat presumably because they are overly afraid of starving. Conversely gluttony can mean for some people that they stopping eating altogether. So Morbid Obesity and Anorexia are pretty much the same thing -Gluttony - an insane reaction to fear of illness or death. They are very much mental disorders as "normal" well balanced people don't react to this fear of illness/death in such an insane way.
Evagius died in 399AD so overeating or anorexia are not new phenomena. Being a little overweight or slightly obsessive about being thin/exercising are just mild versions of the same mental disorder. Taking it to morbid extremes is without doubt a mental disability and needs corrective psychological treatment. The question in this case perhaps ought to be - should insane people be allowed to care for children? People don't like being called insane, but that's what they really are - if you habitually act in an insane way you are by definition insane.

This is a normal post Here's a devil's advocate response...
How much effort did you have to put into not eating shit loads of crap and being enormous? My guess, like me, not much. When I see morbidly obese people, I just wonder what is it in their brains that didn't say, as I would, "fuck, I've had too much". I don't find it that difficult, personally. I know when I've had enough crap food.

Similarly with people like Peter Hitchens, who aren't addicted to drugs and wonder why drug addicts choose to be "such a way", I wonder how much effort do they, as a non addict, have to put being a "non" addict.

I'm not expert, but I think addiction research would point towards it being more psychological, in that some brains are more susceptible to consuming behaviour.

This is a normal post Yeah, but Peter Hitchens doesn't NEED drugs, because he's got TEAM RABID BATS living in his brain, chomping on his synapses.

This is a normal post I think that's broadly true.
Though after my experiences in dealing with/speaking to professionals there has to be a point where addicts actually take responsibility for their behaviour. A classic addict behaviour is to rewrite truths to paint themselves as 'innocent victims'.
 (I helped save b3ta! Tab Hunter Make this useless process end and so, begin again, Thu 18 Dec 2014, 15:52, , Reply)
This is a normal post Oh I'm sure will power and taking responsibility is colossal in battling any kind of addiction
But at the same time, I just wonder if the reason I'm not morbidly obese isn't because I work harder at not being obese, if that makes sense. Maybe I have less of an addictive personality.

I could be very wrong.

You can make healthy meals for the same price. You just need the time, knowledge & inclination to cook.

This is a normal post Yes, but in terms of "how much effort does it take...",
expensive ready meals are okay for you, cheap ones are terrible.

Laziness is worse for you if you can't afford the expensive option.

This is a normal post Expensive ready meals are just expensive
There was research done by Which? a few years back that showed than many of the expensive ready meals were just as full of crap, if not more crap, than the cheap ones. In some cases the cheapo ones worked out better for you.

IMHO - it is all crap. "Instant food" is just re-heated rubbish massively over priced. Is it really that hard to make up a big pot of chill con carni and then freeze it up in pots oneself?

johnnyvoid.wordpress.com/2014/12/12/custard-creams-are-cheaper-than-cous-cous-but-you-cant-expect-a-fucking-baroness-to-know-that/

It starts: "Anyone who claims that healthy food is a cheaper option has clearly never enjoyed the dubious nutitional delights of a pack of Everyday Value Custard Creams (35p, 1,972 calories).

They’ve also probably never been to a supermarket. Or at least never been to a supermarket with less than a tenner to last until the end of the week and two kids to feed. This hasn’t stopped a string of pompous twats from appearing in the media this week and telling us how much better they would be at being poor than the plebs using foodbanks."

And then gets into details.

This is a normal post Although I avoid sugar, I am well aware how cheap custard creams are, and cheap, mass-produced food is usually loaded with sugar.
I don't know who wrote that blog, but some extremely carefully cherry-picked examples there. The paragraph about meatfree being no cheaper is based on some well-dodgy assumptions too.
He's right about well-off columnists patronising plebs with their poverty-toursim, though.

It's possible to eat very healthily, very cheaply if you know what you're doing.

You'd only ever buy a cheap ready meal that's high in saturated fat through laziness.

Sadly, a documentary on economics presented by a professor would be unlikely to get the punters in.

I imagine Michael Winterbottom will not shy away from showing Brand's own foibles (of which there a many - the graphs thing being a good example), as his films are rarely flattering.

This is a normal post "Remember in the riots when disaffected youth nicked the odd bottle of water or a stray pair of trainers? "
Not quite how I remembered it - I remember innocent people fleeing their burning homes, people being assaulted in the street by gangs of looters and thugs, a guy being knocked off his moped and beaten while someone else rode off on it, posing in photos of their swiped goodies while family businesses were razed to the ground, a young kid being robbed while he bled...

They weren't disaffected or poor, they were opportunist thieves and thugs who saw their chance to cause chaos and went for it. So fucking what if some of them got a hefty slap for their crimes?

This is a normal post Brand does rather make a light point of the riots, in which people died.
But the point about the looters/bankers is a good one to make, I think. I'm no fan of his constant ranting, but it does appear to be bringing the stories to the front pages. And he appears to be doing it out of altruism and not to flog his book.

This is a normal post I just think he picked a bad example
by saying "the odd bottle of water and stray pair of trainers" he's willfully glossing over situation that was far, far worse. As Fray said up there, people died in those riots, homes were destroyed and a lot of innocent people suffered. Whether you agree with his politics or not, it's just wrong of him to write that.

If someone said that the Hillsborough disaster was "just a bit of argy bargy" then they'd be ripped to shreds.

This is a normal post the main sticking point for me, on this whole thing, is the fact he sells his book through amazon...
... then bitches about companies - like amazon - dodging taxes.

Why not make the point of having the book ONLY sold in independent bookstores?! That alone would have been picked up by the press, giving him a fuck load of publicity.

I personally agree with the sentiment of (a sizeable amount of) his rhetoric... but I think the way he goes about it goes nowhere to change the minds of those who think he's a self-serving egotistical fuckstick.

Because that's straining the definition of joke.

This is a normal post do you understand the concept of exhaguration?
Clearly as this film involves the killing of someone in quite a graphic way, see the post above. Although it may be lolworthy to us lot, it isn't for them and for a film like that to be released by Sony to the entire world, it might be seen as a tad provocative.

Now with that in mind, the threat would have to be something that would insinuate that you would want to take someone elses life who also happens to be of importance. Preferably not mentioning defecating monkeys or whatever as that would probably change the tone of the tweet, not that you would fit that in.

And "straining the definition of joke" is the entire remit of most people on this site, just FYI.

Also: You do know that the hackers offered to redact staff personal details?

I'm not sure how much was released by that point, but still.

This is a normal post Dear Mr Hackers, please can you not sell my personal, employment & medical details?
Pretty please?

Gawd bless em and their hearts of gold.

I presume any of the thousands of Sony employees that fail to get in touch with the hackers is fair game then?

This is a normal post Well, I don't know how they would of executed that
but they still offered it.

Yeah they are fair game, it's a war fought out in digital space, and as with any war, there is collateral damage.

Sony only pulled the film because theaters pulled out apparently. They weren't concerned enough about the personal details of their staff to protect them adequately in the first place or stop the film prior to that.

Although it was a pretty ruthless hack, I'm sure they could of done more to protect the data.

Security hasn't been one of Sony's strong points as of late.

This is a normal post No seriously, Sony employs over 140,000 people and you think they're fair game?
The personal details of those employees is now in the hands of hackers or the N Korean state.
Names and addresses
Employment records.
Medical records
Bank details

Any you think they deserve all that? Because "This is war"

This is a normal post I think I've made my point
I don't have much more to add.

Hacking is fucked up, I work in IT security and I'm a programmer but I've never wanted to hack anyone as I don't agree with it.

they were warned
they ignored warnings
their lack of IT security didn't protect their staffs data adequately enough
they stubbornly continued to ignore further warnings
they finally caved in for the wrong reasons

The security of the staffs data should of been Sony's priority, but unfortunately it wasn't.

BTW, Sony Pictures was hacked, not the entirety of Sony.

So you're blaming the victims because Sony didn't have strong enough security to stand up to a nation states cyber warfare program?

Nice bit of blame relocation there.

But if you want to get technical, who do you think secures their data? That will be staff who work for Sony. It's also responsibility of the staff not to use retarded passwords which only makes hacking easier.

Nice bit of completely missing the point in anything I say there.

If David Cameron doesn't try and push through legislation to make the mooning of bus drivers mandatory on Thursdays, I'll send a team of highly trained poo-throwing gibbons to Chequers on Boxing Day to mock him and the smoothness of his chin.

As far as I can gather she's technically in charge but choses not to exercise that power because it would cause massive problems.
