10:24 am
incorrect our resident went to the streets of new york to chew the fat with the people. the u.k.'s national institute for health and clinical excellence has issued a guidance suggesting that the word obese might be too upsetting and derogatory to use is this a case of political correctness gone mad this week let's talk about that last forty films is that when you were still heavy and someone called you obese with that offend you. have been called worse you know what's worse calling someone obese or calling someone fat. the same thing. so should we not address the facts because it actually you can dress it like that's just. the facts just better things we don't but it's bad for people it caught me it's the heart trouble and a diary. covered. this week who is in charge of deciding when
10:25 am
a word is leg and when and where it is the proper term will i mean you don't really want the government to be in charge of that that's for sure you have anything yeah i mean the government shouldn't be in the in the in the game of policing what you say certainly of what you think you know what if someone called you whitey somebody called me why do you have say the property accurate but what you would you be offended no so why do people take offense to some words and not other words. probably because they care about what other people think it's an insecurity so we should just stop caring about what other people think and then the whole p.c. thing all go away it's not like you should stop caring what other people think you should start caring more about what you think i think it's matters in the context that it's used like if you look at somebody and say damn they're obese that's in that context i think it's derogatory i think does say the word obese or say obesity in general and when you talk about a condition is it would not be derogatory just
10:26 am
a statement of i'm a problem in a society maybe if we ever get this word to people would feel oh ok maybe oh it will be good for regular people so there's no problem and was he one think about what to take exactly like what are we afraid to college drug user or a drug user exactly who did this it being so what where we should escape from the pros defied the problem the escape for a bit whether or not you think the word obese is derogatory the bottom line is it's also a medical condition and simply avoiding the word is not going to make the issue go away. well certainly hope you can stay with us here and not see you in just a moment our special report uncovering the rather dubious methods used to justify the two thousand and three invasion of iraq we go behind the scenes here on.
