How do I get my oldest son stop picking on everyone in the house?

My oldest son just turned seventeen years old not long ago. He’s in very good shape for his age. He’s a state champion in wrestling and did quite well in swimming and run cross county, and is training for iron man contest. He also already has 9 credits from community college and is at top 50 of his class. So of course he’s very careful about what he eats, how he looks, and everything.
My daughter who is fifteen and my younger son who is twelve is opposite. My daughter and younger son are perfectly happy to stay home, watch television, play video game, and being on the computer. Also they are quite fond of sweet and junk foods which I try to limit.
My oldest son is always picking on them about this. He has complained that my younger son is getting chubby and my daughter is fat, blaming it on their life style. He also is always saying that if I keep this up, one day one of them will be carried out of their house on backhoe because they’re too fat.
Other day when my sister was here to visit us, my daughter was complaining that mosquito bit her a lot. My son hearing this, he replied “yeah may if you didn’t eat so much sweet, they wouldn’t bother you” This is kind of antic he’d pull off almost every time he open his mouth.
A couple months ago when we were on vacation at beach, my son bought a bodyboard to use at the beach which he offered to let my youngest son try. When my younger son didn’t show any interest, my old son throws a fit and blaming it on everybody encouraging the whole family to live a horrible lifestyle and being lazy. He always does this every time my youngest son doesn’t show interest in physical activity or unusual toys.
He’s also always calling them lazy and say television has rot their brain so much that they have no idea how to live. He also always talk to me about how he’s really convinced that television has fried their brain and point out thing such as how they’d not pay attention to their surrounding until commercial or something. I don’t know if he’s being serious or not, but he do it in a such serious manner that it is scary. He has even asked me to throw television out. Sometime he’d screw television up so it doesn’t work then wait for one of them turn on television and laugh as he watch them getting upset and throw fits.
This is making me so mad; I am getting frustrated with his attitude toward his sibling. I and my husband is always yelling at him about this and he’d just laugh and try to lead us into a argument about if other kids are actually leading a good life style. I don’t know what to do any more, I’m at my wits end.

Why Does Everyone Want To Stop Horse Slaughter?

I’m for it just for these reasons: Many people who are against horse slaughter are against it because all they see is the death of a magnificent creature… many times, a creature they have never REALLY known personally. They’ve seen the good sides, a gorgeous blood bay shining in the sun running across a field of grass blowing in the wind.
They haven’t seen the bad sides. The potentially terrifying horror stories that are possible with such a powerful creature. The expenses, the problems, behavioural, physical, mental.
Slaughter is needed because of quite a few reasons. Firstly… horses are expensive. Many people can’t afford to keep a horse around that is useless. They are expensive to feed and keep. If a horse is beyond use, many people just can’t afford to keep it. It’s got to go somewhere. Again, not many people are willing to take a useless horse. Even rescues can’t really afford to take something absolutely useless because they’ve got to be able to turn around and adopt a horse out to be able to keep taking in horses. So the horses would end up being abused and most likely starved to death by their owners.
Disposal of a body is even expensive. There are four main options… through euthanasia, you can either bury at a specific depth away from ground water… Rental of a backhoe and a means to get the 1200 lb body into the hole. Or cremation. Which is not overly common, requires a nearby facility, and a way to get the body to the facility. Donation to a large predator facility… trailer the horse there, employees put to sleep, end. Donation to science. Sometimes a University will pick up a body, but most times the body must be taken there. Lastly, the slaughter option. Another point is that most of the people against horse slaughter EAT MEAT. Most mammals are killed the same way, so why does everyone try to save the horses that are slaughtered?
