The reasons you don’t SAY it or at least you don’t say it with as much scorn as the OP is are many:
-They are generally already aware of prejudice against them
-Most would not choose to be so heavy
-Many have emotional shit going on that has caused or is caused by their weight
-YOU generally ain’t getting any thinner
-It makes you sound like an asshole

Word.
I hereby pit Two Inches for making me agree with msmith537. :mad:
I hear the jury is still out regarding the health effects of smoking.
Well, at the very least, fat people eating doesn’t have any effect on me. Second hand smoke may not kill me, but I find the smell of nicotine/smoke to be fairly repellant.
Yeah, but what about the smacking and slurping and gnawing sounds, and the belching and farting?
I’d like to say that posting insulting nonsense is disgusting.

I’m a man, and I have a uterus. But it’s in the chest freezer in the basement, so I don’t think it counts.

Really? Seems like it would get all frigid and rock-hard that way.
I keep mine inside this woman I know at work. That way, when I’m hungry, it’s already warmed up!!

Besides… the chest freezer is for torsos.

Outside the Courthouse, having a smoke.
I’ve been fluffy my whole life. (Yes, there are five levels of fatness: big, healthy, husky, fluffy, and DAAAMN). It’s genetic, it’s in my family. I don’t suck down pork rinds and twinkies all day. I blame my genes dammit! Well, that and lack of exercise, but I am doing better what with cutting out soda and all.
I’m disgusting? Huh. I guess my boyfriend didn’t get that memo from the country of Fuckedupistein that you live in. We agree losing weight for my health would be awesome; but y’know what, dickshit? I like extra padding on my men. I likey the tummy. I find ‘em snuggly. Bring in the bears!
And I’ve had my boyfriend for eight years. I can’t imagine the creature who would want to be with someone like you. Holy shit.
Assflakes like you need to learn their place: at the bottom of the toilet bowl and flushed.
Now get the everlovin’ fuck out of here, and don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out.
The OP’s screen name gave me a hudley vibe

If so, it’s no doubt composed of the same sort of folks who were on the first OJ jury.

Please. I am a smoker and I fully acknowledge that it’s an unhealthy habit. Let’s not kid ourselves. There are very few of us who are waiting to hear one day that smoking is actually not bad for you. Maybe how bad it is for you could be up for debate.
I agree that the Dope in general is harsher on smokers than it is on people with weight problems. The reality is, though, that all other things being equal, a slender girl who’s smoking at a bar will probably get more positive attention than a chubby girl who isn’t. In my general experience, anyway. YMMV.

If you wish to deride the quality of his argument you have to be honest about it.
Are you seriously suggesting that the vast majority of obese people have genetic disorders or diseases that have led to them being obese?
I think it would be pretty safe to say that the majority of obese people are that way because they don’t exercise enough and eat too much, both of which can be solved as easily as the smoker stopping smoking.
While I don’t agree with his statement in the original OP at all, I think he is right to believe that if he had made the comment about smokers no-one would have cared. They are routinely described in those kinds of terms.
[/QUOTE]
Of course, you and WhyNot are right. I think I got some stupid on me after reading his post. I wasn’t being articulate enough.
I was mostly riled by his statement of comparing smoking to being fat. I’ll freely admit that most obesity is due to lazyness and over-eating, but smoking is a choice that no one ever has to make.
I would also argue, that when it comes to smoking, it’s the habit I find disgusting, not the person. But since being fat changes the appearance of the person, you can’t argue that eating is disgusting and not the person. He saying fat people look disgusting, and should be taxed for it. Then arguing the exact same rules apply to smoking. I call bullshit.
Also, there are degrees of obesity. I’m simply 15 lbs overweight. Do I get taxed? Am I disgusting? If so, fuck that guy. What do I do, get on a scale before I order a Whopper?
When you’re a smoker, there’s not as much subjectivity there. Either you’re a smoker, or you’re not (granted, some people can smoke every so often, but still, most smokers make a real habit out of it).
So what I was getting at before, was besides all this, there are some issues that prevent people from losing weight. Especially for the morbidly obese. I think even if I tried to gain 150-200 more lbs, I couldn’t. My WAG is there’s something else at work there. (but I could be wrong)

Somewhere near -60 calories a cig from what I recall. Care for a smoke break?
