i've burned out on the tepid flame of your unoriginality. that hurt man, i deserve more than "fatty."
No, she was egged on by people who did not like her, and were intentionally trying to cause her harm (just not that much), having fun at her expense. Hotwater was just joking around: no target. But it was. It was a lecturing, telling hotwater that he could make someone kill themselves, just like psychadelicg1rl, threatened that he could've caused her to relapse. It's not like it was announced at the beginning of the thread that a recovering anorexic was going to be posting here, so no one make jokes.
wait, so is having fun at others expense wrong if it's obviously directed at someone who will be affected by what you say? ...look back dood. The only real joke I had an issue with was the one directly talking to the recovering anorexic and she had mentioned it. i'm sorry for saying that's it's not ok to tell people with anorexia that they're lazy, and will end up rolling around at the phat farm with the other piggies? I was obviously the one in the wrong. once again.. The joke was made after the fact.
It was post 92 The joke was clearly sarcastic. I'm still on humor's side. If I were in her position, his words would've given me solace. Obviously, she is wound too tight on this issue for that. I don't think he has the powers to know that; and I don't think we should be afraid to make jokes as a society.
I looked again and found it and edited my post, reposted for your conveinence: It was post 92 The joke was clearly sarcastic. I'm still on humor's side.

I don't think so either, but I don't think that making fun of someone's life altering problems can count as a joke. Either way.. I'm in too happy of a mood to keep going at this. I'm done here, if the thread keeps going, carry it on in my memory. *sheds a single tear*
My buddy made a joke about my dad being dead the other day. It was funny. We laughed. Then he apologized. Only then, did it get awkward for me. People are different. Why should we favor the types that are highly sensitive over the types that deal with troubles by talking about them the best way they know how to?
Right? If someone says something to me that's true, in a way that's supposed to be an insult... Well, I think they're an idiot. I mean, it's true.
you should wear whatever you want to wear, only you can make yourself happy. Actually that's not entirely true, smoking causes a lot of negative effects on your body such as poor wound healing and damage to the good enzymes in your body. you will statistically die earlier with diabetes if you smoke than if you don't smoke. it affects your whole body, it's not just about getting lung cancer. LOTS of diseases have an increased risk with smoking. it's just a shame that smokers waste so much of our hospital resources.
That's a double standard. High blood pressure and heart disease is caused by being overweight, and there are so many people with such a complaint I fail to see the argument. Shall we drop them of the transplant list? How about use of resources a little more wisely? I understand how non smokers may find it difficult to accept why people do smoke, but I will say this much- it's the most addictive thing on this planet (I for one would love to give it up, but it is as hard as people say). I fail to see such the addictive quality in chocolate and beef burgers, i'm sorry. Everybody has their vices, and sure you can try and tell somebody not to do this or that, but never condemn them to a basic waste of space like you did in your last sentence, that was just plain vile.
