Do I win a prize? Is this a test?
Threads like this are like the electronic version of tagging.
Sorry forgot to add: J_Kat as part of the other two’s electronic multiply personality
Would you rather I complained about how the whole thing offended me without reading it first?
I didn’t open this thread and read it expecting to be pissed off. I expected to watch the usual crap that goes on in a thread where the OP is obviously a bigoted jerk. When I saw more than the usual crap, on top of a couple of threads like this in the past week or so, I got a little peeved and responded. You don’t like my response, don’t read it yourself.
j_kat, seriously, what is wrong with you? Why is every post of yours that I read so full of hate?
[major hijack]
I just don’t understand all of this hate against “fat” people. It makes me sad. How can the people here who are judging fat people (just exercise, and stop eating so much, pig!) possibly understand why some people are overweight? And why is it such a sin against everything to be fat? (Yeah, I know, they’re causing everyone to pay more for health insurance…much more so than the anorexics and bulimics who are trying so hard to be the thin ideal that society wants them to be…)
I hate to be the goody-goody, but I just am. Can’t we just be nice to each other? People who are judging fat people…are there people you love who are fat? Would you be such harsh critics of those you love? Or maybe you would approach them with a little more understanding? What do you think they would say if they saw the hurtful things you wrote about fat people?
Maybe she wasn’t even buying donuts for herself. I know a woman that I used to work with who bought donuts twice a week for our staff meetings. People buy donuts for each other all the time. But if she was buying for herself…so what?
Maybe she was embarassed that she had to write a check, because she realized she didn’t have what she needed at the last minute. So what if she made a mistake? Have some compassion!
I know, the world would be such a boring place if everyone was more understanding towards each other. Wouldn’t it just be terrible?
Peace, skinny and fat brothers and sisters!
Love,
HOMS

I really think we are all missing the most important point of this whole thing. It’s time to come together, stand as one, and ask ourselves… “how would one go about obtaining those pics of Jack Batty?”
Let the healing begin.
Why do you give a shit what I think? Why does a person saying “fat is bad” make you dive for the McDonalds napkins? Can’t you just say “Hell yeah, I’m Fat James, bitch” and run off, stuffing your greasy gullet with fish-heads and egg brine? Why does someone else’s opinion on how you look matter? If some guy came up to me in the street and said - “Hey you hippie asshole, nice hair! Get a haircut! Where’s Scooby Doo, Shaggy? What’s the matter, couldn’t your mom cut your hair this month?”, I’m just going to laugh in their face. Why should I care if they don’t like my haircut? Why indeed. Same principle. And if you can’t re-evaluate your priorities to put “crying over what other people say” at the bottom of your list, you could always try exercisin’ and eatin’ right, porky. I mean, it might not work for me if I was transported back to 60s Georgia - class and dignity can’t beat sawn-off shotguns and a farmer in a flannelette shirt. But they don’t beat up longhairs anymore, just like they’re not lynching tubbos on every second street corner. So, as stated, either quit your fucking whining or go for a run while eating salad.
Oh go eat some carrots you skinny fuck-wit.
You’re a first-rate prick since it was just stated that diet had nothing to do with featherlou’s situation. That said, you’re also funny as fuck in an “I can’t believe I’m laughing at this but I can’t help myself” kind of way. Sorry if someone gets offended at that, but my sense of humor has always been a little twisted.
Sorry to disrupt the healing process, but I do not have any sexy pictures of Jack Batty. I was just pretending.
I don’t understand this part of the rant. I get where this punk doesn’t like fat people, but I don’t understand why a check in the 12-item lane is a problem. Is there a sign that says “Cash Only?” If not, get the fuck over yourself and grow up.
So you opened the thread knowing that you’d dislike what was in it? I don’t think the OP is a bigoted jerk. I think some people around here are way too damned sensitive about certain topics. As soon as one fat person is the object of insult, a crowd of people claiming that the insulter hates all fat people shows up to pitch a tent in his or her ass.
Funny thing is that the ‘we’re so offended’ crowd would not be here if the OP had been ranting about the twiggy bitch or the cueball asshole or the carrot top motherfucker or the mousy shithead, it’s only because of the word ‘fat’ that there’s such a heinous offense. How terrible indeed that when the goal is to insult someone, the mission was accomplished. The OP wasn’t talking about you, unless you were the cow writing a check for doughnuts in the cash only express lane, so why are your panties in such a wad?
I sympathize with the guy, and I’m a fat chick.
I don’t see the OP judging all fat people. Just the one inconsiderate sow who apparently is so focused on something that she can’t read the fucking signs in the grocery store.
And then just what, exactly, would be posted in the Pit?
That’s odd. I can see where the OP doesn’t like the fat bitch who couldn’t read the sign and used a check in the express lane which he said was cash or credit only, but I don’t see where he says that all fat people are bitches and he hates them. He insulted one person. Why are you extrapolating it to cover every fat person on earth?
You’re right; some people are too sensitive about certain topics, what with them not wanting the identifiable group that they are a member of to be called derogatory names and all.
Good for you.
Naah, bullshit. This is purest-grade sophomoric mean-spirited bullshit, you know it, and you’re just yanking everybody’s chain.
The OP picked the words “fat”, “bitch”, and “doughnut” specifically to paint a picture of the waste of flesh who got between him and his cereal and skim milk. He didn’t have the balls to complain to her in person (or he has enough sense to realize he’d sound like a moron doing it), so he vented here. Either he was stupid enough to think he’d find approval here for his clever rant, or bored enough to go fishing for reaction. I can’t imagine he thought he’d be lucky enough to find somebody stupid enough to defend him.
99% of fat people are fat because:
a) They eat too much, and/or
b) They eat the wrong foods, and/or
c) They don’t exercise
So while I readily admit elpadre’s demeanor is rather repugnant, I must admit I think the same thing when I see a fat person buying or eating junk food. “Why do they do that,” I ask myself.
Still not focused on the issue, instead focused on “fat” - well, you need to get your facts straight because the OP did not say anything about a “cash only” sign.
Now maybe I missed it in the ensuing “discussion” about weight but if there was no sign, the fat bitch didn’t do anything wrong, did she?
I see express lanes that specify “no checks” and others that allow checks.
And that’s part of the problem; what business could it possibly be of yours what someone else eats? Why do you eat what you eat?
I’m not even going to touch your 99% figure, because we’ve done that one to death here before.
Who said I was making it “my business”? Are you saying it is wrong to observe someone and hypothesize why they’re in the condition they’re in?
For the record, I couldn’t care less what someone eats. (Assuming, of course, that their food & medical bills are not subsidized with public dollars…)
Well, it’s kinda everybody’s business when people eat in public. Like noticing what people wear or if they are picking their nose.
You are a total arsehole and thick to boot.
There are many thin people who
a) They eat too much, and/or
b) They eat the wrong foods, and/or
c) They don’t exercise
but purely because they are not fat, you don’t judge them? You don’t think “why do they do that”?
That’s correct. I don’t.
I am not claiming that eating a lot of food, eating the “wrong” food, or not exercising will always cause a particular person to become fat. If you’re lucky enough to have a high metabolism (e.g. Crafter_Woman), then there’s nothing to discuss. But the converse is almost always true, i.e. if you’re fat then it is very likely caused by overeating, not exercising, etc. In other words, if a person is fat, they should recognize that they’re eating more than they’re burning, and make appropriate adjustments to their diet & exercise plans.
The implication here, of course, is the belief that “being fat is not good.” From a health and well-being standpoint, this is (in general) a true statement.
