Which is more effective: social shaming from one's peers, or banning Big Gulps?

But if he’d been at a baseball game in the crowd, he would’ve been fair game for the hosts to ridicule as a drunk, tubby, etc.

I loathe the doublestandard media.

This is an outrage!

If, however, these people’s pics were posted at People of Walmart, then that’d be OK.

(Its a JOKE, son)

If that’s Jessica, she is very pretty. If she’s also sweet and competent at some marketable skill, she should have no problems in life.

People with nothing to do but run down others on Facebook, on the other hand ...

Honestly, if I wasn’t so vain, I’d get fat just to stick it to people who hate fat people.

The blond girl in the photo is beautiful. Very cruel to mock her weight.

Good thing the bailiffs are armed because they sure as heck couldn’t run after anyone.

Nice to see them texting on taxpayer time as well.

It’s okay to have an irrational hatred of fat people. It’s the last socially acceptable bastion of bigotry, providing the perfect release for social ignorance.

photos of overweight or obese people in public

While I don’t agree with doing this people in public have no expectation of privacy.

I disagree with this. There is no reason, other than cruelty, to post pictures of fat people online on a ridicule website. We can talk all we want about how heavy people should lose weight and should not eat as much or exercise, but that is not a reason to publicly ridicule them. They aren’t hurting anyone by being fat.

Back when I smoked I had a few great fat pigs try to admonish me for doing so.

I politely pointed out that they were not only great fat pigs but also hypocrites.

Shut’em right up it did to.
