Craig, <<The American Psychiatric Association's board voted unanimously Friday to reject therapy aimed solely at turning gays into heterosexuals, saying it can cause depression, anxiety and self-destructive behavior.>> Trying to break any bad habit or self-destructive tendency can be very upsetting to the person. Is that a reason not to try? Trying to lose weight can cause those things too. That's an under rated prejudice. This country is very biased against fat. Fat people are excluded from jobs who are completely qualified because of their weight. Looks will always win out and that's OK for the lookers, but what about the unlookers. I had an experience where we were hiring some people and an applicant came in and turned in an application. The regional manager came over to me and said I better tell Vicki not to hire that one. I said Oh? He said yea, she's way too big, we don't need that. He also identified fat with stupid and lazy. Any of you agree with his assessment? BTW, he was gay. ROFL! Bob
