Fat People's View on Skinny

WOW! This thread digressed very fast!

I think it's progressed to an open and honest discussion.

It's more like queasy disgust.



Sure he does.
He just did.
About half the people in this thread already have.

There's nothing disgusting about fat people.

Doesn't make it right, Roman.
agreed.
There are people that gain weight due to medication, knee/back injury, etc.
If someone sees an obese person in a motorized scooter, do they think "lazy ass" or 'injured'?

Exactly. Did you see that special on TLC about the lady with the 200 lb tumor on her belly? Yikes.
 
yeah, but why is he angry about it?
Ok I have to ask,
What makes you think you have the ability (and you really don't) to read any type of emotion whatsoever in any post that any person makes on an internet chat forum? Honestly?
 
I think people make fun of fat people to make themselves feel better. Maybe because its one of the few prejudices that is acceptable.

The obese don't hurt me, so why become a sanctimonious prick about it??

I make fun of fat people who are fat by their own account.

No, you just like to be a sanctimonious prick to people who care about their pets as much as they would a human. You also like to be a condescending sanctimonious prick to any guy who would dare stand up for himself to any 'Almight Vagina Owner' :rolleyes:

and how do you know how they got obese? Do you ask them? "hey, fatso, did you eat too much or do you have a back injury"

whoa....what does that have to do with obesity? I think you are carrying around some unresolved anger there :shrug:.

Assuming all things equal among these countries (like the rate of demobilizing injuries not related to body weight is the same across all countries, etc.), America has a major obesity problem. What is it that Japan does differently than the US? I guess the US is full of people genetically predisposed to obesity and that all the other obese folk are fat because of injuries and drugs (/sarcasm)

I think that that the rates we see from Japan to, I don't know, France represent the normal rate of obesity we might see that is caused by things outside one's control. Based on this, for every 3 fatties we see in the US, 2 are fat by faults of their own.

Most of the time, lazy ass. I work near a large grocery store. I see many obese people waddle to the scooters after parking in the handicap spot. Many of them probably take the scooter because walking for a long period of time (I guess more than 90 seconds) causes joint pain due to excess fat being toted around.

so they have bad joints because of the weight? They aren't fat because of bad joints and limited mobility?

I guess I don't know a strangers medical history well enough to know that.

Why else would you ever do anything?

"Oh yeah, I'm eating these cookies because it makes me feel horrible"

"I just love blow jobs because they make me want to puke."

Of course we mock people because it makes us feel good! It's called utility!

I dont' go around haphazardly insulting every fat person I know...let alone any fat person I don't know. While I may be a bit condescending towards fat people who are fat by their own fault, I'm by no means rude or disrespectful to them.

whoa....what does that have to do with obesity? I think you are carrying around some unresolved anger there :shrug:.
It doesn't. It has to do with your high horse statement about not being a sanctimonious prick to fat people, yet you turn around and are quite a sanctimonious prick to others. It was about double standards, not obesity.
 
... While I may be a bit condescending towards fat people who are fat by their own fault, I'm by no means rude or disrespectful to them.....

How is being condescending not rude?
How do you know how they got fat? If they are eating a slice of pizza do you assume they got fat by eating?

I just don't understand how you know how a person became fat.

So you're a jerk to them behind their back?
Niiiice.

Fail.
Work backwards a little bit to her premises. Then I think you'll see her conclusions follow.
