I posted about his tumor to debunk your belief that being overweight is not disease-related. Jimmy was born with a tumor that Dr.'s said would have no effects until he hit puberty. That's because it involves his endocrine system: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocrine_system

As Lana_Lang stated, this involves hormones and crap. It's also the reason he can't grow facial hair.

So now you know Coprolagnia: sometimes weight issues are in fact disease-related.

So is being fat a disease? You keep dancing around it with "disease related" how about answering the actual question. Actually don't bother the answer is no. There are alot of reason people can be fat doesn't make it a disease. The only people who think being fat is a disease are fat people, just so they have an excuse. Smokers, alchoholics, gamblers, drug addicts, think they have a disease as well. Ohhh Tiger Woods likes to have sex i guess hes got a disease too.

I don't know why you keep telling me about your son I never attacked him about being fat (or about anyhting else). as I said i couldn't care less about your son. Him being fat/skinny or not growing hair is not a concern of mine. He could live to be 120 as the richist person in the world with the hottest wife and the beard of santa claus and the figure of a ballerina or he could die tomorrow. I don't know him so it makes no difference to me.

Everyone understands ur point, you haven't reached some sick level of conciousness. You just disrespecting a mother and her son.

Pretty pathetic position to defend your semantic point...

sometimes weight issues are in fact disease-related.

read that over and over again coprolagnia, she just put it out there for you to fish it up eventually. he is fat because he got an tumor in his head affecting him in a negative way, hence making it vvv easy to amass fat. Friend of mine works out 10 times a week, ~1,5-2h per day just not to be ******edly obese(he is still fat tho), he doesnt eat much junk at all, eats way better than me, and while i dont train at all, and havent for 10 years i havent amassed any fat at all, he can never in his life ever slack with training or it will go out of hand. HE got a disease that does this to him, he just decided to fight it as best as he can.

What gobbomom says is that his tumor is affecting his weight, this is nothing strange, medicines can also do this, not just diseases, try to eat cortisone like candy and let us know how it went after 2 months.

Not saying that being fat is a diease, or obesity, 99% its just lazy ppl being lazy, but there is a few that is just on the bad beat train when it comes to this sort of thing.

I DON'T CARE. of course there are reasons for being fat, there are nothing but reasons for being fat. everybody who is fat or has been fat has/had a reason. I'm just saying being fat is not a disease. gobbo may have gotten fat because he got a disease, but he didn't get a disease because he got a disease.

which noone never claimed?

who cares

How in the hell is this a five star thread?

It went from slightly amusing to a mother defending her son's fatness.

gobbomom, 2+2 and BBV have a positive overall attitude towards gobbo. I honestly don't even understand why it is so positive. I have often thought that the very reason was sympathy for someone of his weight and looks trying to make it in the poker world... sort of a representative of the poker players who don't look like PA or Blom.

I never liked him very much (because of his attitude), but I rarely make fun of him because I know there will be backlash from gobbo supporters.

I'm just reminding you that he's respected and liked by most of 2+2, so you should be happy that many people seem to like the man.

Everybody gets some crap on BBV. That is the nature of BBV. BBV has been unusually nice to gobbo.

This thread still sucks imo.

Now THESE guys are battling their fatness. And they are getting pwned.

Merry Christmas buddy! <3
