copypasta from the wikipage on utility:
is a measure of the relative satisfaction from, or desirability of, consumption of various goods and services. Given this measure, one may speak meaningfully of increasing or decreasing utility, and thereby explain economic behavior in terms of attempts to increase one's utility. For illustrative purposes, changes in utility are sometimes expressed in units called utils.
The doctrine of utilitarianism saw the maximization of utility as a moral criterion for the organization of society. According to utilitarians, such as Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) and John Stuart Mill (1806-1876), society should aim to maximize the total utility of individuals, aiming for "the greatest happiness for the greatest number". Another theory forwarded by John Rawls (1921-2002) would have society maximize the utility of the individual receiving the minimum amount of utility.
In neoclassical economics, rationality is precisely defined in terms of imputed utility-maximizing behavior under economic constraints. As a hypothetical behavioral measure, utility does not require attribution of mental states suggested by "happiness", "satisfaction", etc.
Utility can be applied by economists in such constructs as the indifference curve, which plots the combination of commodities that an individual or a society would accept to maintain a given level of satisfaction. Individual utility and social utility can be construed as the dependent variable of a utility function (such as an indifference curve map) and a social welfare function respectively. When coupled with production or commodity constraints, these functions can represent Pareto efficiency, such as illustrated by Edgeworth boxes in contract curves. Such efficiency is a central concept of welfare economics.

My bad! Condescending isn't the right term for it.
I should have said, I hold a quiet disdain for them.
I don't. That's why I'm always polite.
Only the ones who I know are fat due to laziness. You'll never catch me badmouthing a fat person that I know is fat due to issues beyond their control.
However, I'm the type of person that will say anything to a person's face that I say behind their back. A backbiter I am not.
Exception being in a corporate work environment. I would like to stay out of HR's office.
You tell us. You seem to think you know all about a person from their posts alone.
I would ask you if you have Down's Syndrome, but that would be a major insult to the Down's Syndrome patients that I know.
Even if that is the cause, excess body fat will cause even more joint pain. It's a vicious cycle that can be ended only one way: eat less.
The logic for weight loss (and ultimetly fat loss) is very simple: calories out - calories in $$>$$ 0 $$\Rightarrow$$weight loss.
If they just eat less, even without exercise, they will lose weight. It will probably stop when they are around 18-20% body fat, but they will no longer be obese. It will then be easier on the joints to exercise.
Not that I know what severe joint pain feels like... but my right ankle fucking kills me from time to time due to an injury I had on a skateboard back when I was 16. I have a compressed disc in my lower back and a herniated disc in my neck. My right arm and right leg go numb sometimes. I can't swing a baseball bat without experiencing strong shooting pains in my left shoulder.
None of those stop me from doing anything that would cause those pains. The solution to weak and painful joints is to make them stronger. Also, some people need learn to develop mental toughness.
ah, look at that. Mike made a funny. good for you. :thumbsup:
On here, I would hope nobody. Here I'm not worried about my job or having to beat the shit out of someone in the process of defending myself after they tried to start some crap due to me being an ass.
Who's joking?
Roman, are you trying to seduce me?
yes he is.
I do not have a Down's Syndrome.
Don't insult me lady. I am not insulting you, so keep off me, as well.
Yes we can.
Now let's say we have a fat person who is fat because he/she is lazy. They don't care if they are fat and are perfectly happy being fat...
Why should I feel bad about making fun of them if they are happy the way they are?
Any fat advocates on here gunna tell me that those two are fat due to medical reasons?
they might be Mike. I mean this sort of things is not just a habit...it has to do with low metabolism as well as genes.
Yes they are not really fighting against it, not much strength of will.
