Fatties can't help it
A huge and costly "scientific" report has concluded that that it's not my fault if I get fat. Obesity is, according to this report, not the fault of the individual for eating too much instant, packaged food and slumping in front of the computer or TV all day; rather it is all due to societal changes. This is nonsense: it is not possible for something called "society" or "the nation" to go to the gym and to eat sensibly. Whether a person gets fat or not is all down to the personal decisions he makes about eating and exercise. I am no more obliged to slob around and eat junk food than I am forced to listen to the sickening pop music on all media twenty-four hours a day. Of course the food, the slobbishness and the rotten music are all signs of the way we society has degenerated: but no one is forced to become degenerate
Actually, we should not be surprised at the tone of this report: it is just the latest in a long line of reposrts and policy studies which remove individual responsibility and corporatise it. Essentially this method is statism, nascent totalitarianism
I read that someone in America is trying to claim that it wasn't his fault that he committted a murder, it was his brain that made him do it.
The Judge should just try him any way and after sentancing ask if he wants to go with his Brain to Jail or be seperated so he can go home while his Brain serves its sentance.
