    God, people like you piss me off.

    And people like u who shoot ur mouth of like a loose cannon piss me off as well.

    For the record, I am African-American born in Tacoma, Wahsington, United States of AMERICA. So next time 1. Stop 2. Think 3. Come up with a respectful way to query someone about what they said, cuz u never know when u dont have all the information or took something the wrong way. Then u end up looking like a jack@$$

    And in refernce to my comment, i was talking about how horrible the people of MY COUNTRY (*AMERICA*) are becoming when it comes to staying healthy and in shape, im soo sick and tired of people just letting themselves go. Its utterly riddiculous to me. But i myself cant do anything about it unfortunately, people will realize one day when theres noone else to help them and they gotta help themselves.

    I know this thread is old, but if you click on the link, it has changed. Now the woman is dead. She died while they were trying to get her off the couch! I don't really know what to say, other than that this is inexcusable on the families part.

    Its more sickening to me than anything...geez, how does one get that big? And how do those around her allow her to get that big...

    But yeah it is sad too...I hadn't seen this thread earlier so I have no clue what the other article was about.

    I personally can't even begin to understand how that can happen. It seems impossible to me. There is NO WAY her family should be allwed to get away with this. This is just attrocious.

    God, I just clicked here and saw people laughing and I was like "What the hell are they laughing at? Poor woman!".

    Anyway, so this is old. Umm...it's quite a sad story, really. Have you seen that movie, "Who does Gilbert Grave love?" (Well, I am translating from the Spanish translation of the title). It had a similar case, two brothers and a fat mother who was sick in bed and couldn't move. Yet, when she died they decided that she did not deserve the humilliation of being carried away with machines and a big hole in the wall, so they just burnt down the house with the corpse in it. I thought that was somehow poetic.

    Yes, great movie...Leonardo DiCaprio's best preformance ever IMO. The title in America was "Whats Eating Gilbert Grape?". It was sad...and its exactly what comes to mind whenever I hear about things like this.

    I wasn't launghing at her though...thats not funny by any means...but War Angel's little crack was quite laugh worthy to me.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    Well, it was funny. Funny for a little bit, and then it jsut became horrible. My attention shifted from the fat woman to the hell-bound assholes who allowed it to happen.

    And yes, WarAngles joke was pretty damned funny.

    I don't think anyone is to blame, other than her. I mean, it doesn't say she was mentally ill or otherwise handicapped there - just dumb as a rock. She ate and ate and ate... untill she couldn't move. She could've called someone, as well. Basically, she killed herself. I don't think it's a case of neglection.
