Steven Assanti is going to Die

[CavLancer]

My status as an expert is once more confirmed. 100% of all reply's to my post are in complete agreement with my assessment. I am the world's foremost expert on Steven Assanti.

I may now pontificate at leisure to the spellbound masses unwilling to dust off their synapses.

Here's an example of a potential news release using my expertise:

Steven Assanti today consumed a pizza while a hospital supposedly dutifully tried to get him to slim down as he's somewhat let himself go. The hospital released him, but an expert on Mr Steven Assanti said that they wronged him and through their treatment of him may have caused emotional problems which could aggrivate his eating problem which he was in the hospital to alleviate. Instead they should have limited him only to veggie pizzas which would boost his morale.

So, for only 60% I say Mr Steven Assanti should sue for emotional distress, and get some justice...and I'll take pepperoni on mine.

 

[bhavv]

Veggie pizzas are the best anyway.

 

[useless]

Maybe there is something genetically in him that forces him to eat, like prader willi or something

 

[Kyriakos]

What is prader willi? It sounds more like some Amstrad 80s platform game

 

[BvBPL]

After watching the videos, how can anyone have any sympathy for this massive waste of space?

Is is fair to judge the worth of a man today based upon a few videos he made three years ago while in a state of crisis?

Seems like that would be the same as if I had gone back to 2012 in the archives and picked a few choice crappy posts you made and then started a thread today making fun of you because of those.

Perhaps he should join the Beatles - observations thus far give joining the Beatles a 50% mortality rate, compared with approximately 97% for failing to do so.

1) He got to his current weight entirely by his own fault
2) He's abusive towards the staff looking after him
3) He's abusive towards the people paying towards his health care costs.

I've always said that morbidly obese people don't deserve free health care. This case right here is a clear example why.

So, for only 60% I say Mr Steven Assanti should sue for emotional distress, and get some justice...and I'll take pepperoni on mine.

And the nurses should sue him for the emotional distress he caused them while under their care. I believe that they do have a rule that being abusive towards hospital staff also gets you kicked out, in which case they were right to do so.

I don't understand the reasoning behind why people who are entirely at fault themselves for getting this fat are expected to be given free healthcare. Let him eat himself to death, its no ones fault but his own.

I don't think health care is something that you should have to deserve - I think it's a moral imperative for us as a society to care for people who need help. If we only extend rights to people that we want to, then they're not rights in the first place.

Incidentally, I think the sort of eating that makes you like that as a form of addiction - and addictions come about when people need to escape from things, not because they're weak or indisciplined. Becoming that size and losing your health like that isn't something that a person of sound mind can do. You could even say that it's self-destructive, in other words an indication of something badly wrong with a person's mental health.

How about smokers?
How about alcoholics?
How about people who rider motorcycles without a helmet?
Those who engage in risky sports?
Those who get lost hiking?

But to be fair, your ideas may have sounded better in the original German.

I feel a temptation to agree with bhavv.

Most illness has some component of personal choice. Obese, should not have eaten all those pies. Bowel cancer, should have eaten your greens. AIDS, should not have had risky sex. Malaria, should not have gone to that dodgy country. If healthcare is a right, it should be a right for everyone.

It's easy to be in support of human rights when you consider people you don't like to be sub-human.

I can see the logic behind small charges for people who suffer relatively minor damage from risky activities - in the vein of charging for plastic bags, where the point is simply to affect decisions rather than actually recoup costs. However, most people who undertake risky activities do so with the mentality that they won't get ill or injured - you'll rarely meet a rock climber who expects to break his leg. However, we do already routinely charge in practice for minor medical treatment - prescriptions being the most obvious example, or over-the-counter painkillers - so I don't see any objection in principle to extending that somewhat.

He should too.

All yes except sports and hiking. For the rest, as well as such a level of obesity as this guy, the individual has shown no responsibility for their own health and safety, and thus should be liable to cover their own costs for treatment.

Do you see mental illness as a choice?

 

[Kyriakos]

I am not really seeing the angle of "these people cost xxxxxx money to the state each year. That is your money too, fellow german"

I mean surely the burden there is not that great, even as a fraction of the state's budget, if you want to directly attribute it to obese people, let alone smokers. For one thing those people pay abusive tax on the products they consume. For another thing, though, it is a bit too misanthropic to deem them as a burden on any one personally

 

[Akka]

I agree that universal healthcare should be universal (Captain Obvious here).

The guy is still a disgusting jerk, and health workers are not here to be taken advantage of or to be abused, they are here to take care of patients, so I feel it's perfectly justified to kick him out.

At some point, his addiction to food became like being addicted to certain drugs, he is losing himself, going hollow
