Prediction: Fat Will Be the Next Black: Mocking fat people now akin to racism.

We have a 'guy rule' at our club - be supportive of the fatties. They are at least trying to turn their life around. The fattie at the supermarket with the dozen donuts and cases of soda is a different story.

But I only mock in my mind, never verbally.

[DemforBush]

Hey now, don’t be hasty!

They make the rockin’ world go ‘round, after all...

[dfwgator]

And they are easy.

“I’ve got fudge! Hershey’s Chocolate Kisses, We’re talkin’ Haagen-Dazs here, baby, what do ya say?”

[Steve_Seattle]

"I don’t agree. The Left absolutely hates fat people so I doubt they’ll ban fat jokes."

I agree. They especially love the stereotype of the fat, white, Southern, Bible-toting Christian. And remember Al Franken's, "Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot" theme? But libs were/are discretely quiet about the girth of people like Jerrold Nadler and Ted Kennedy.

You not really a conservative if you believe all the crap you just spewed. .

You just made the Bloomberg/ leftist nanny state arguments they use every time to try and control every aspect of other people lives..

Good grief you sound like Michelle Obama and her food police.

Is being overweight or fat good..no..is it your business if its not hurting you...no...

So you have to find a way to justify that person over there minding there own business is hurting you “or the collective public” (so leftest) so you can claim some right of control over them.

Fat people whining for victim status is stupid then need to accept responsibility for there issues..sticking your nose it to other people being fat is stupid because its their issues and their responsible. .not your, not other peoples. .it a two way street

The public done not have to accept and celebrate fat people ..but if there minding their own business im not going out of my way to mess with them

It will be a new victim group by this time next year.

You missed the sarcasm tag after drunksage’s comment.

[Freeping Since 2001]

Weight reflects personal choices. And often leads to forseeable future costs that end up borne by others.

Race doesn’t.

[Count of Monte Fisto]

People should be mocked otherwise they won’t know that they are doing anything wrong and won’t improve themselves.

[Tax-chick]

I think this is an interesting aspect of the more generalized contempt for all women. Men like this view women as existing either for sexual stimulus - “eye candy” - or sexual use. Women who don’t “serve” because they’re fat, old, disheveled, or handicapped, or because they’re modest, chaste, ladylike, or mothers, can be openly ridiculed like this.

However, they don’t respect the “hot” women who provide them with free sex, either. If the lads weren’t saying women in S.A. were fat, they’d be talking about how they were sluts.

Women, including fat women, can almost take pride in being despised by persons of this ilk.

\s means he/she was being sarcastic. You’ve been around since 1999 and haven’t caught on to that yet?

The little "/s" at the end of drunknsage's post means "everything in my post that came before should be taken as sarcasm."

Years ago a place where I was working was forced to sell a customer XXL and XXXL clothing at the S-M-L-XL price because it had been determined that the obese were a protected class under Michigan Civil Rights law.

"Weight reflects personal choices. And often leads to forseeable future costs that end up borne by others. Race doesn’t."

Being overweight is often - probably most of the time - caused by overeating and overdrinking, but some people are naturally slender, some are naturally heavier, and some have genetic/physiological abnormalities which make them extremely heavy no matter what they do.

No matter how much food I ate or beer I drank, I could probably never weigh more than about 210 pounds, and there are some people who could never weigh less than 210 pounds no matter what they eat or drink.

[grania]

mygosh, if it weren't for the PC nazis, it could be suggested that people with weight issues could smoke a few cigarettes instead of stuffing their faces with Twinkies.

Cigarette smoking would cure so many problems. A percentage of smokers die young of a disease that has no medical treatment and often can't be operated on successfully. (less Medicare, health care and Social Security expenses.) If they don't become diabetics from all that weight, that's less costs for medications. They'll pay much more in taxes, purchasing cigarettes, so those smokers would be an asset to so many government initiatives.

Just being logical here, trying to cut down on government debt. (SATIRE !!!)

[Graing]

Got it in one here.

“But the vast majority of obese people get that way from overeating combined with lack of exercise. When I was 285 pounds and headed for an early grave, I made some very basic, simple changes to what I ate. I didn’t starve myself. Just ate more of some things and less of others. I also made an effort to exercise a little bit.

That was 4 years ago. Since then, I’ve lost 60 lbs. and continue to lose a pound or two every few months. I have no claim to superior “will power” or anything else. It’s just a matter of making smart life choices and sticking with it — without the drama often associated with formal dieting.”

That’s the key part of this nonsense.

[Steve_Seattle]

You were being satirical, but there is actually some truth to what you say. You always hear these statistics about the medical and social costs of smoking, but those statistics almost always compare the cost of smoking with an alternate scenario in which the non-smoking individual never incurs any medical expenses whatsoever or makes any claims on government resources.

But the smoker who dies at 60 might in fact incur fewer lifetime medical costs and social costs (retirement/social security) than the non-smoker who dies at 90. This is not an argument for smoking, but for honesty in the use of statistics.

[grania]

honesty in the use of statistics

I'll second that. The first goal of the Society for Honesty in the Use of Statistics should be the abolishment of seasonally-adjusted data.

[Coldwater Creek]

There is plenty of appearance mocking that goes on right here on FR. I like you find this behavior infantile, including the First Lady, who we all know and dislike.

[demshateGod]

The left is already working on your personal choice argument. Soon no one but us bigots will be saying that.
