case in point:

Ok ok, no offense to any fat people here, but it happens that fat people are my pet hate. I can be very, VERY harsh when it comes to the behaviour of fat people so I'll try my best to be nice.
*deep, composing breath*

One thing in particular always blew my mind. Why is it that fat people never realise how being fat invades everything? Once I told my mate to go be fat in his own row of airplane seats, and he obliged me with no argument which I was appreciative of. but then goes and stands on my foot and breaks the fuckin' thing! What the hell? The daft prat.
The other thing is even when they do go sufficiently far away to not let the fat rest on you, they come back inside the very second they've thrown away the double bacon and ranch cheddar burger. Not only have they (more often than not) still got a mouthuul of food which gets all up in thier double chin, but they get food all over thier damned thier clothes. they smell a like vat of fry grease. They need to... walk around a bit to work out... or something. When questioned, all my fat mates (and once fat but now dieting mates) seem completely oblivious to this phenomena.

Someone please shed some light for me. Are there any fat people or ex-fat people who can tell me this - do fat people not REALISE that they're negating the effects of being outside by doing these things, or do they just not care?

I know I've used specific examples in this but I have observed this on many occasions, as I'm sure others have. I haven't cultured my pathalogical loathing for fat people based on nothing you know...

Again, no offense intended guys. I know we're all intelligent people here and if you like to be fat then its your business and I won't tell you not to.... however if you're fat around me you're likely to feel my surgical two-by-four

lol, that cracks me up. Let's see how the response changes when fat people are substituted for smokers in a thread. Both are conditions that can be controlled by the person and the appearance of both groups can offend those outside of the group.

Umm, wha?

Are you serious here? I mean, I see the "bloody smokers" thread, but how can either of you people really say "no offense intended" ?

My opinion: I don't think there's a place for this on the TFP.

PS: It's occurred to me that this is a satirical jab at the smoking thread, but flame on if you will.

PPS:
...from the bloody smokers thread:
I'm hoping the point has thus been made.

that's one...

Well although that was REALLY harsh, Alpha I think makes a point. I have a hard time seeing how unfit people respect their bodies to treat them as such. I know some people are naturally heavier and there are people naturally skinny, but there is a big difference between being heavy and being fat (unfit). You can tell when someone has muscle and excersizes as compared to a fat slob who just sits around the house. It's bigoted of me to say this, but I do believe that it is a person's responsibility to maintain their body. It's difficult for me to respect someone who does not respect themselves.

One last thing though- "fat and sassy". What the hell does this mean? Fat people carry this around like a badge of honour. But basically you A) admit you are fat B) told them you are sassy- a euphanism for bitchy (what do you call someone who gives you sass? a bitch.) Why are you proud of being retardedly obese?!? What redeeming factors does it have for you?

I just don't get it.

Edit: just read the bloody smokers topic but I stand by my statement.

Inconsiderate people are always a problem but this anti-fat phase is getting ridiculous sometimes. A while back there was a group of people wanting to ban fat people from theatres and airplanes. Why should there be laws against them? After all won't the marketplace eventually decide. After all these places want to stay in business don't they?

(for those of you who didn't see the previous thread, this is a satire)

LOL!!!

I see your point here..but let's face it..bashing is bashing. Why stoop to a level where you actually make yourself look silly?

This thread has been closed because it is a direct flame on another forum member, NOT because of the opinions expressed in it. Of course, the opinions themselves are only such as they are for the purpose of flaming another forum member, so they're irrelevant anyway.

So, a note to all would-be "i'm gonna make a gesture about something I feel strongly about because something someone else posted peeves me" people...

If you're going to do it... DON'T name names, DON'T refer to other threads (this includes wholly copying a post and substituting words or portions of the original text like Mad Libs), and finally, if most importantly...

DON'T let your approach make the fruits of your labor go bad. I think there could have been a much better thread of an indictment of cultural and societal biases that allow "________" people to be harrassed while "___________" people are somehow more protected, had it been handled differently. Not that i'm condoning what happened here, this was just personal griping.
