Fair enough.

 

I wouldn't let them adopt anyway because they own a dog and it wouldn't be fair on the child to grow up in a stinking, **** covered house.

Fair enough - far better that a child ends up in care than in a loving family.

 

 

Fair enough, if they 'love it too much' by overfeeding it then it will become a fat bastard like them and would wish it had stayed in care :D

It might seem fashionably over-reactive of the Council, but I go along with this thinking. It's bad enough getting older and getting overweight as one slows down, and I'd should know, I'm nearly 14 stone and I should be 13 stone. But being young and overweight is a massive strain on the body. And being obese is like sitting on a time-bomb. If the couple want to adopt a child badly enough, the man will slim down to a weight, and not put it back on. It will be healthier for him, and will be a good example to the child, who they would have no problems in adopting. I notice the partner isn't the sveltest of individuals either.

Don't beat around the bush, she's also a 'salad dodger' :p

I understand what you're saying StL and I usually agree with you. I just wonder a bit where we draw the line.

 

Will the next thing be an IQ test for potential adopters?

 

There are plenty of 'natural' parents who are overweight but who successfully raise 'normal' weight children.

Agreed, I'd tend to be more worried about the dog than the fella's weight, even then though, should someone having a pit bull type dog prevent them being a parent? I'm not sure on the legalities of these type of dogs so it's hard to formulate an opinion.

What a day, fat b@stards fairly not being allowed to adopt, and an inbred skate couple giving birth to a two headed scaly monster.

Do these stories prove that God has a sense of humour?

So we end up with a 'super race'. Sound familiar?

 

And who would do the dross jobs then?

 

You offering?

 

Are you saying that the only jobs fat people with low IQs are fit for are the dross?

 

Bigot.

Whats it got to do with jobs.

Surely bringing up a child needs some sort of intelligence.

Yes there should be. In fact it shouldn't just be for adopters but for anyone that wants a child. There are too many stupid people that have children. They are unable to bring those kids up properly and do more damage than good.

You KNOW I'm not saying that. You know me better than that :)

 

I probably didn't express myself very well. I was responding to Hatch's response to my sarcastic proposal that parents had to have a (presumably) high IQ.

 

This would, quite possibly (depending on your views on the nature / nurture debate), lead to their children being intelligent too and, therefore, not willing and available to do jobs that people with low IQs have historically and conventionally done before.

 

OK? :rolleyes:

See my response to Ponty above.

 

I was developing your response to my 'suggestion' (made with tongue firmly planted in my cheek) to the logical conclusion that a super race could develop........

if my dad was obese it would mean we wouldnt have played football and i wouldnt have been f*cking amazing, and it wouldn't have given steve grant the chance to ruin my knee just before christmas.

 

i hate the social services

Remember her..?

Wow..! Did anyone notice she lost 10 pounds..? I didn't know that. Well, we know it wasn't for long.

 

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=I6j6GcP3-uQ

 

She got even heavier too. After a quick search, this is the most recent video I've found:

Anybody notice the parent in all this..? I mean, how thick [excuse the pun] do you have to be not to notice that your kid is suffering..? Surely people don't need to be taught to know when something like this is wrong. Anyway, seems that state services did the right thing here. Of course, this is extreme. But how many years will go by before it isn't..?

 

Hopefully the girl will keep the weight off. Perhaps her Mum should follow her example.

What do people consider makes the perfect parent then?

I shall start with blue hair, blonde eyes.

 

Oh good, I can't wait for babies now! I am going to be awesome. :cool:
