    Madcrappie doesn't get angry. He just hits the "banned" button and goes about his day.

    because bias against overweight people is so fucking common, and definitely not seen as unreasonable by most people, unlike sexism or racism. Discriminating against overweight people, joking about them cruelly, it's socially acceptable. And it fucking hurts when you're one of those overweight people who gets mocked. Who gets called names about it to your fucking face. When people throw slushies at you and call you fattie as they drive by

    so you work with a racist dishwasher. does he verbally attack you all the time?

    trust me, I know what its like getting picked on....... I was skinny throughout my childhood years....... all through highschool and whatever else.... I was picked on then, trust me. what do you think its like to be a weak little bean pole?? I wouldnt gain weight or muscle no matter what I ate or what exercizing I did...... then I started to go through college, gained a bit of weight, and I dropped out and lived with my parents for awhile, gained a bit more, got kinda pudgy and got comments about that. then I moved out of town, away from my family, lost some weight, and I had alot of people comment about how skinny I looked, compared to how fat faced I was before...... now, after age 30, I packed on a few pounds, especially in my gut area, which is hard to get rid of, and I get comments about that beer belly...

    so please dont tell me that I dont know what its like to be picked on. people get picked on for being different, or against the norm, nothing to get worked over about..... just laugh at their ignorance. most have problems with their own self-image. so just laugh about how ignorant they are about their own appearance.

    I'm not trying to say that you've never been picked on, but using the dishwasher guy as an example wasn't very relevant to the topic at hand. I mean, if you've been teased about your weight, surely you know how painful it can be. Especially with the media telling you to be x size when your really really not, and probably never will be. Hearing people on what's theoretically a fairly open-minded forum bash people and laugh that they're at an "all you can eat buffet" is disgusting. I get dirty looks in the gym because I sweat when I work out. I get dirty looks at a restaurant because I ate cake for my birthday. Society is fucking ridiculous when it comes to how it treats overweight people, and you saying "oh just laugh it off" sure as hell doesn't help. Were women supposed to laugh it off when we couldn't vote? Black people supposed to laugh it off when they get targeted by the police when they're innocent? Prejudices HURT, they're hard to just laugh off.



    (I still like you as person btw, just this is a sensitive issue for me so I tend to rant like hell on it)

    HippyFreek, perhaps you missed my joke that skinny people are those that don't enjoy life. I am sorry that my attempt to heap scorn on the OP upset you.

    lynsey...sounds like you have one of the most intelligent responses on here right now; I am currently battling weight, but I just had a baby, you know? And I resent the fact that it is believed that all overwieght people stink. I take showers just like everyone else, you know? And an all you can eat buffet is NOT my favorite hangout. Whoever originally posted this, (I can't even remember your name because I try to block simple minded people out of my head), you need to pull yourself together. You have NO IDEA what someone who is overweight is going through. Sounds to me like you are the one with severe ass issues.

    being very fat is just a visible symptom of weakness (unless it's genetic). Somone who smokes cigarettes, takes health deducing drugs, does not exercise, drinks too much, has an eating disorder ect ect-these people are just as weak just in most cases there are no physical symptoms of their weakness. Most of us are weak-it's called being human and weakness is not about size or fatnesses it's about personal choices.

    fyi...for all ya fellows out there chicks love a guy with a tummy and it's been psychologically proven. The theory-nurture. Men are so physically hard and there's not a lot of comfy spots to lay on them. I don't think I could ever go for a guy who was completley hard (just stop I beat you to the punch line). If I got tired on the couch; where would I sleep? I don't dig the 6 pack thing. I like guys who take care of themselves but don't take it too far. In fact as long as a guy's not super skinny nor is he morbidly obese that's good for me. As long as I can cuddle up all is good in the world.
