Do you treat fat people differently?

[Steve]

Stick a bullet in their head? From postings on an internet forum, lol???

It's happening more and more. Bullying and ridiculing people to point they break is serious business these days. With so much online social networking being mainstream, many people take what is said online seriously. I didn't learn this until recently myself. I had no idea the things I said online could effect someone so much. Reason being I'm doing my best to tone it down as much as possible.

lol...so, i'm not the only person who likes to give dave a hard time.

As much as he dishes out on others, he should expect it back. More often than not, his threads that he creates are more of a fishing expedition to provoke reaction. It's also why he so often makes comments that are WAY over the line. I just can't decide if he's truly that much of an compassionless prick or not. The man is a walking contradiction in so many ways it's ridiculous. So much so it puts me in conflict to the point of contradiction - I'm interested in meeting the guy to see how he ticks, but then I don't know if I want to meet him to find out if he's truly a prick and then I'll want to break his arm, but at least he'll be able to fix it himself. lol.

So do 90% of the people on this board.

....I would disagree with that.

LMAO...the shit said on this site is just a stress reliever. I mean no harm...I just figure each of you are big boys and girls and can get over a little ribbing on this internet. I fully expect to get some shit in return and I enjoy it. Some do a better job at returning it than others. There are a couple on here that make me so mad at time I want to "break their arms" too! But that is because they are better at internet shit talking and not that I really want to hurt them.

Trust me, I fully understand getting caught up in the entertainment of DFWM banter, it's fun and it's good sport for those that can handle it. But alot of people really can't handle it. Plus, the over the top things you say at times, makes some people rethink if you are joking or not, yes, it's over the top for shock value and you may not believe the things you are saying, but the simple fact you were able to think of it in the first place makes it questionable not to your intent, but you character as well. I'm just as guilty of this as you are provoking SEB for so long for my own sick entertainment, but I didn't realize how much of an asshole I was being about it for just entertainment purposes.

I love being sarcastic ass with my friends who can handle it too, Don, Adam, Womack, friends of mine I know nothing will offend them and it's all in good fun. Not everyone is equipped to deal with that type of humor though. I, personally really don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, know I have done so on here isn't cool. I want to laugh and have a good time like anyone else, there is just ways to go about it in a big public setting such as this one. "Our" humor doesn't translate well online apparently.

Nobody is forced to read any of this stuff, if they can't handle it maybe they should find other topics that better suite them.

Sounds like people need to up their dose of prozac or call the amberlamps to me. The liberal leaning types need to just carry their asses on to another site if they cannot deal with the things said in this forum.

Since I didn't chime in on the original topic, I'll give it a shot. I generally dont treat overweight people any differently. I have friends and family that are large and I guess It just doesn't bother me. That said, if someone if disgusting, I do treat them differently. Whether they are disgustingly filthy, disgustingly obese, disgustingly rude, etc, I don't care, disgusting is disgusting and I have a knee jerk reaction to it.

I also find reading the posts containing people's heights and weights, and their personal view on what class they are "considered" to be in and their goals, is very interesting. There is a lot of variation out there. 5'8" 185lbs, here, I will soon be working on getting closer to 200. Good luck on everyone reaching their goals.
Merry Christmas to all the fatties and wafes!

Treating someone differently because of a choice they make is not the same as treating someone differently because of how they were born.

As long as it is a choice that does not harm me why give a shit about it?

And some people are born fat, ugly, skinny, pretty, short, tall, muscular, cellulite filed, bald, hairy, etc. It is a physical appearance. If someone wants to be fat be fat, them being fat does not harm me. And as far as the insurance argument, um I probably have cost more in insurance than plenty of obese individuals. All my life insurance policies are small and with ten different companies so I can avoid medical history otherwise I am uninsurable.

[DaisyDoesDallas]

We're just gonna have to agree to disagree. You are a woman and shaped by completely different events and circumstances than I was. You have your opinion about things and so does everyone else. Those opinions will rarely be the same. Doesnt mean that either of us are better than the other.

Yes it does! Womenz=BETTER!!! lol lol

You really shouldn't be so hard on yourself. You have a great personality!

I am going to beat you with a banana on Friday Mr!!!!

What pisses me off is when women get fatter, their tits get bigger. Men get fatter their peckers get shorter. It's just not right.
