FI find it fascinating that we can sit here and discuss fat, unattractive people as if they all have a say in their appearance (they don’t, in fact many don’t, or lack the education to understand how). Let’s mock them, their dull stupidity, and enourmous guts. But if we were to have a similar conversation about Blacks and certain southern fruits and fried products, we’d all be somehow more bigoted than when we are doing the same thing to an overweight crowd.
Start with the doper in the mirror.

Are you black? Do you think most of your audience is black? Can you walk us through why you thought that was an appropriate analogy to use, especially with the “doper in the mirror” tag? Do you think black people exist to be your all-purpose rhetorical device?

**My last word on this in this forum: No, I don’t think black people exist to be my all-purpose rhetorical device. **Honestly I was thinking of Fuzzy Zoeller’s comments regarding Tiger Woods and how folks righteously jumped him for saying such a thing. If you want to address me further about this, you are welcome to PM or E-mail me outside the forum or call me out in Debates or pit me if you like.
My stance is that arrogance and bigotry know no color or size, the example was meant to reflect that.

I think his intended analogy was
Racist Stereotype - Black people like fried chicken & watermelon
I’ve eaten a few (four?) since they were introduced. I like the lettuce-wrapped ones (generic white hamburger buns are the ick). Once I ate one of those & a bunch of curly fries, which makes a sick kind of sense. But don’t try to eat more than one…
I’m a girl and I used to eat Monster Burgers all the time. Of course, I was on the Atkins diet at the time and would take the bun off and eat half of it for lunch and save the rest for dinner so I guess that doesn’t count.

A few months ago you wrote about sculpting your buttocks. Now this. For the love of Og, stop burning these wretched mental images into our brains!

Thaaat’s right you just ponder about the sex life of 40 and 50 somethings. Interestingly it’s not all that different than when I was younger. Your sex drive really doesn’t really fall off a cliff, and as long as partners are enthusiastic and willing it’s hotter and more intense than ever. Wild monkey sex with eager 40 and 50 something women is out of this world!
