Yet, it’s ok for extreme fatties to say “I’m big and beautiful and hot as hell”?
I mean, there’s a double standard here.
Oh, I forgot – it’s because you still feel superior to the fatty, but not the mean hipster kids.
There’s truth in this statement.
Along these lines, it makes me wonder exactly why Shots or anyone else cares enough to rant about a nonspecific subset of fat people who entertain delusional excuses that of no palpable consequence to anyone except themselves and their waistbands. Don’t get me wrong, I’m as much in the “eat less, excercise more” camp as the next skinny person, and I also know how costly obesity is on a societal level. But I’m too busy taking care of my own diet and fitness to give a rat fuck about what’s going on in the head of someone struggling with their weight. Most people I know who are overweight don’t blame their condition on genes or any other uncontrollable factors, so I don’t think the OP’s juvenile attempt to “educate” the fatties about their lazy, slovenly ways is going to do anything except make her look rabidly assy. (And I don’t mean that literally.)
Can I also say how amused I am by the way Shots busted out this OP as if she had some new, eye-popping knowledge to drop on our heads? Seems she had some kind of epiphany by looking at some pretty slides at work or something, but the whole genetic explanation for obesity stopped being credible um…about 30 years ago when the whole fucking epidemic started. Next thing you know, Shots is going to start demanding skeptics of the germ theory to start explaining why so many people in the same households get the flu every year if evil spirits are to blame for our maladies.
Sure it’s ok as long as they don’t then add something like “and all you skinny bitches are ugly and stupid and look like 12 year old boys!!!”
Because when virgins speak of their “experience”… and, no, Yahoo chat, a fresh box of Puffs and the economy bottle of Jergens doesn’t count… as if speaking for all, I tend to get testy, Cialis notwithstanding.
Please post some pictures of what you’re banging, because I’m pretty well convinced that you aren’t all that either.
Here’s you:
wait, I thought you fatties thought that being fat wasn’t a bad thing and was not a good way to insult others?
Oddly enough, I think you and Shot From Guns are saying the same thing, just from opposite directions.
Hmm…looks like he’s a defense attorney.
Heh heh heh…
Very few people think being fat isn’t a bad thing.
Well, never mind fatties, I pit poor people. Stop whining about it and get some money, or something.
And depressed people. Cheer up, for fuck’s sake, it’s not that hard.
And insomniacs. They should just shut up and go to sleep, goddammit.
And bald people. Why don’t they just grow some hair?
No, but harping on the issue à la Muffin and her thought police is.
But that is a problem thin people have as well as heavy people. Almost everyone has an emotional and juvenile relationship with food. From the first time our mom gives us a cookie for being good or a sucker because we had to get a shot at the doctor, we associate food with reward and comfort. Whether you are trying to recreate the feeling of your childhood Thanksgiving or never got it other than from a Norman Rockwell painting, food is usually tied into our emotional well being in a truly dysfunctional way. (Add in the societal pressure for ‘thin’ - particularly for young women - which tends to result in an eating disorder the other direction).
However, some people decide to break their emotional relationship with food - or at least control it (a girl STILL needs a bag of Oreos after a bad breakup - just not after every fruitless and frustrating first date), and others let it control them and impact their health and their lives. And, granted, some of us got a better head start from our parents (morbidly obese children make me insane).
Sorry, I don’t understand that. What do you mean à la Muffin. Clearly I missed something. I’m more of a lurker these days except in Baseball threads.
People on the Dope have done that quite a bit in the past, though, and there’s usually a half page of posts or more before they’re called on it, if at all.
Open pedo?
Protip: If you are sensitive about being overweight, don’t open the thread called “Heeeeeeeeeey FATTIES”!
“Hey DUMBASS! HA! Made you look!”
I’d wager this thread caused a measurable uptick in sales of ice cream and snack foods. Taunting chubbies is, therefore, good for the economy. That’d make it a moral imperative for any true conservative.
ba-dum! tsssh
