Do they think they stand a chance of picking anybody up? If you’re going to be 50+ AND obese AND fem AND drunk, you might want to think about not acting creepily predatory.If I were single, I would reject a good-looking guy who behaved that way, let alone someone who is heavily challenged in looks and personality. It appears that my admonishment has had a favourable affect on your attitude towards overweight people. I congratulate you! ---

Oh fer chrissake, is this not the Pit? If someone is a gluttonous, fat arsehole and irritates a Doper, do they not have the right to call it like it is and vent about it (and the same thing for the lazy SOB who’s leeching off of his sister)? Or have we suddenly voted certain individuals as the arbiters of all that is righteous and ‘acceptable’ here. I mean come on folks: if the rant annoys you, flame them right back. But don’t, DON’T try to set up some wacked out Morality Committee and force people to conform to your ideals as to what is and isn’t acceptable. That’s just silly. Forbidding me from using a term indeed…:rolleyes: ---

> [@](#): > > You keep saying that fat insults insult all overweight people when it is clear that they don’t. “You keep saying that insults about gay people insult all gay people when it is clear that they don’t.” “You keep saying that deaf insults insult all deaf people when it is clear that they don’t.” “You keep saying that wheelchair insults insult all people in wheelchairs when it is clear that they don’t.” I mean, sure, it’s true, you could be insulting a _specific_ fat/deaf/wheelchair/gay person, but do you _really_ think that no one else who belongs to that group will NOT be insulted? Maybe not all of them, but a lot of them? And while it is also true that we all choose to be offended (no one FORCES us to be upset by comments, no matter how rude) do you really think that we should just sit back and not react or respond to cruel or tacky comments? Come on. We are all human beings. All of us have feelings. Some will be offended more than others, some will not be offended at all. But that doesn’t mean that it’s all of a sudden OK to say whatever we wish, without consequences. Look at the [current flame against pkbites](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=109273) because he said some not-nice things about gay people. But hey! What’s the big deal? All of us who were offended CHOSE to be offended! So why is he getting his ass flamed, then? Why is he getting a negative reaction for his comments? He does not _specifically_ insult any gay Doper, so why is everyone getting upset by what he said? Obviously everyone is _choosing_ to be offended. Yeah. That’s it. :rolleyes: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/when-two-spiteful-sluts-attack-some-of-the-dopers-i-respect-most-i-get-angry/103198.md?page=6)
