Agreed with Danman.

I'd be more worried about people who think Wikipedia is a reliable source of unbiased expert testimony in any given field.

As opposed to... the Daily Mirror?!? Yes, actually, in this instance I think wiki has more credibility.

I mean if your argument relies on something written on a site which has been reporting the death of Vernon Kay all week, I'm thinking you're struggling for good evidence.

Hmmm, likely to be seperate articles AND moderated by completely different people. I fail to see the link you are trying to 'argue' there.

Well of course, it's not as though Nintendo has divisions in the US, UK, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Spain, Germany, et al.

And what difference does that make? We're all human beings. Just because sumos are commonplace in western society does not mean they are any less fat.

Don't be silly. All they need is a ridiculously skewed eight word summary from someone who either didn't read it himself or didn't understand it, and they're off.

You sound like you're fat. Are you fat? I'm sorry; I didn't realise. Fatty.

Me too but I don't hit them over the head with a newspaper and go "Oi! You're fat!".

I lol'd. I might take that up. Right after I take up some Judo or something...

You never know what not-fat person might be listening. Tehehe

Everybody who is overweight has (or will have) mental and/or health issues?

Being fat IS a health issue in itself. I can't believe you just asked that question.

Yes. Their life is their business - not mine or yours.

Much like that guy who just got stabbed in an alleyway somewhere.

Being skinny does not make you a better person.

No, it makes you a much less fat person.

What, so we should take your word for it over theirs? That seems entirely reasonable.

This doesn't sound like me at all; but in this case I would be happy to give Ninty the benefit of the doubt.
