My opinion (don't read if you're overly sensitive)

Yeah, but the rest of us would never have joined mfp at all if we weren't full of those same excuses at some point. I ate like a pig, didn't exercise, and whined about being fat. Now I'm here. We should try to remember that these excuse-filled people just aren't ready yet.

Thank!

Hate breeds hate. I don't see the point of this thread. I'm not overly-sensitive, I just believe that everything should be looked at from all perspectives without coming to harsh conclusions. Everyone has made excuses. Just encourage them, and hopefully they'll grow out of it. The hate won't stop a thing.

Sorry all 'those people' bother you so much. Maybe you are overly sensitive??

I agree with a lot of what has been said on here from both sides of the argument. Depression is a scary thing and there are many different degrees of depression. Never be so arrogant as to compare what you are feeling to what someone else is feeling simply because you are both "depressed."
Also, to you "youngsters" that are arguing that you know so much about life:
-You may have been through a lot for your age and no one here is disputing that. What they are saying is that you do not have the years of experience that others have that are older than you. That is a simply scientific fact. Stop trying to argue it. Are you possibly wiser than a 40 year old that has had a relatively easy life? Maybe. But don't assume that just because your life has been tough you know everything and can judge others.
