Jeez. Talk about touchy. I’m sensing a little over-defensiveness on this. The OP looked kind of like an observation to me, if a little…I dunno…arrogant. But I’m not a very PC person at all, so maybe it didn’t offend me like it “should.” And yeah, I don’t think men are looking too good either. Luckily, us dudes have the benefit of a double standard that makes it generally okay for us to have a belly. But I work with more and more fatasses every year. Here’s a question though…can people lighten up about the fat jokes, or should they even have to? I don’t believe one should be subjected to humiliation, but what’s wrong with having stuff like that pointed out? I’m a skinny guy who used to be fat. I used to be called things like Butterball and Fatass and stuff like that. Now it’s more like Toothpick or Damn Hippie because of my long hair. I can take some teasing. And I’m not worried about what most folks say about my appearance. But I can (and certainly do my best to) give as good as I get. Instead of bitching…why not zing someone right back? I say take the PC bullshit and stuff it. If you don’t like the thread, either flame the kid or just don’t respond and let it die. Personally, I like making fun of bald people. Like this guy --\> :rolleyes: The li’l chrome dome is so cute!! ---

My apologies , never had the time to learn learn grammar .My first few years here I had to make dollars to survive and then I was just to lazy . PS.

That’s sweet of you to say, **duffer**. And you’re right NP, I don’t really have anything to lose. I don’t really have anything to gain, either. I’m here for conversation and maybe to learn something. But I think you’ll be okay…I have a feeling it would take something remarkably belligerent or stupid to get you banned from SDMB. You’ll just have to get the hang of the overall flow of the forums (and establish yourself as someone who can be thoughtful) before you can broach stuff like fat people and accusing the French of giving up on the battle against B.O. ---

> [@lambchops](#): > > You’re guy? Who the fuck doesn’t know how to put an “a” between “I’m” and “guy”? Are you 6 years old? Putting on a bad Russian accent? I’d stop to think before I made fun of someone’s grammar. Even a quick read of **nonpolar’s** posts indicate a lack of knowledge of English grammar, as in someone not writing in their native language, and not someone making careless mistakes. (But then, maybe that level of reading comprehension is beyond you). His usage is consistant–for example, the absence of articles (a, the) is a common error made by those who don’t know English well. His later post confirms that he is not a native speaker (or, if you are determined to dislike him, he’s pulling an elaborate and rather well-executed ruse). I also did not take the OP as insulting. He made an observation about women, the gender he is most interested in observing. In the interest of having everyone participate, he added an observation about men. From his post, it is clear that he does not think big people look that good, but he doesn’t say they are unworthy of attention, or lazy pigs or horrible people. To him, they aren’t attractive. Here’s a shocker–I’m fat, and I rarely think other fat people are attractive just to look at. I don’t think I’m attractive just to look at. Big deal. If somebody bases their opinion, initial or otherwise, solely on my appearence, I’m not that interested in their opinion anyway. But if the initial impression was, “well, she’s heavy, smart and funny, with great boobs”, I have no problem. It’s like the time some idiot chided me for identifying the person I was talking about as “Jim, you know, the blind guy”, because it devalued him as a person to be referred to by his lack of sight. Bullshit. It was something people noticed about him, so it was a good way of letting someone know who I was talking about. ---

I still haven’t forgiven my brother for the time that he told me about a guy (sic) he wanted me to meet at his church - interesting, worked in the same field as I did, been to some of the same places, etc. I was hanging around at the back of the hall after the service, when this black man came up to me and said “You must be Roger”. I gave him a blank look. The penny dropped when he told me that my brother had told him all about me. But the damage had already been done. ---

Only if she’s 5’3". So your girlfriend rolls a Honda, Playin’ workout tapes by Fonda. But Fonda ain’t got a motor in the back of her Honda, My anaconda don’t want none unless you’ve got buns, hon. You can do side bends or sit-ups, but please don’t lose that butt. Some brothers wanna play that hard role, and tell you that the butt need to go. So they toss it and leave it, And I pull up quick to retrieve it. So **Cosmo** says you’re fat, Well I ain’t down with that. Cuz your waste is small and your curves are kickin’, And I’m thinkin’ bout stickin’. To the beanpole dames in the magazines, You ain’t it Miss Thang. Give me a sista I can’t resist her, Red beans and rice didn’t miss her. Some knucklehead tried to dis, Cuz his girls were on my list. He had game but he chose to hit 'em, And pulled up quick to get with 'em. So ladies if the butt is round, And you wanna triple X throw down, Dial 1-900-Mockingbird and kick them nasty thoughts. _Baby Got Back_ _What? Yes, I am a caucasian gay man. Yes, I own the CD Maxi single. Why yes, I do play it. (LA Face with an Oakland booty). Just a quirk I guess._ ---
