I know there are a lot of them out there in the world but this one bothered me because the start of the series was questioning why there was a divide between the WLS youtubers and the non-WLS youtubers who are trying to lose weight.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOEaGv3TTdk]This is the video[/ame] I am discussing.

Without ranting I wanted to start a list of things that are "unnatural" but super awesome.

1. Weight loss surgery

2. Antibiotics

3. Basically every medical innovation since people figured out diseases aren't caused by small demons.

4. Air conditioning

5. The internet

6. Microwaves

7. The automobile

8. Movies (I love movies!)

9. Plastic (it really makes life easier)

10. Roller coasters

I could go on, but it would get silly. Lots of things that don't occur in nature are fantastic and the idea that surgery is unnatural and so we shouldn't do it is willfully ignorant.

Surgery is unnatural? Well I guess I should have died giving birth to my first kid instead of having that c-section.

Sorry granddad.....I realize you need that Coronary Artery Bypass Graft, but the family feels that surgery is unnatural

I'm pretty sure that the copius amounts of make-up that chick is wearing is unnatural.

Didn't she say "if only", "if only" , "if only" enough times. I say if only she knew what it was like to be fat.

That is hilarious! Thanks for the laughs :thumbup:

Jack I'm curious in light of another discussion going on elsewhere. You've had the band for a long time. Have you experienced any complications? Are you "one" with your band and completely happy with it?

She's an idiot.

I never got to the meat of the video because she was so annoying just setting up her discussion topic. Moron.

Why oh why would you want to make a complete fool of yourself like that?

What a dickhead. Not becuase of what she thinks but because she thinks anybody gives a rats.

There is a good chance that one of these days she will be obese. She then will go through the experiences that we have had. Then she can take all of her natural words and EAT them. My cousin used to make fun of me as kids. She is now just about if not heavier than I am. All I am saying is be careful of what you say. (Kinda like be careful of what you wish for) It could come back and bite her in the rump and thighs and legs....

Ha! ha! This reminds me of "the little piggy" story that goes around in my family as a moral lesson to the kids. When my sister, their Aunt, was younger, she was a toothpick. She once gave my sisterinlaw, who was heavy, a glass pig for her birthday. With a verbal message...."Oink,Oink, a pig, get it?" She was not only insensitive, but very rude. Now however, as an adult, she is fatter than her and everyone else in the family! Moral lesson...You reap what you sow.

Jack I was speaking to serious complications - not minor inconveniences.

It was said (elsewhere) that most people eventually have complications with their bands and I was just trying to do a little research on my own.

Thanks, your input is very helpful.

I find it really irritating when young people who are not particularly well-educated figure that they are experts and can shoot their mouths off on any old issue. Grrrr.
