I'm not deleting it because it shows people up for what they really are, pathetic and childish.

I think most people don't think fat people are kiddy fiddlers tbh. They might think alot of things of us, but that's never come up before in my experience.

 

Lisa -- if thats the case I apologise

but i do get increasingly fustrated by the racist and biggoted undertones on these forums -- which often go unchallenged

you know posts that think sinking refugee boats in the med is a perfectly acceptable means of immigration control

and my post was just an attempt to highlight this mentality

appologise if i have caused offence

 

Well i cant see this thread being any different from a full blow racist thread and that would not be left on so why is the fat thread left on im not happy and im sure all us fatties are going to have our own we hate skinny people with small di..ks thread ..

Best way to highlight the mentality is to warn the idiots and then boot them off they no good to society ..

 

And you honestly thought by insulting other people was the right approach?

You seem sensible and normally stand up for what you believe and say things contrary to the ignorant views of others. Which is commendable, I think that is why I am so shocked you have decided to start this thread.

No matter how frustrated you get by narrow minded views on here, making a thread that makes you look the same, with a different target doesn't really help you make your point in my opinion.

 

TTTTTTTTTTT hodgy you know what you got to do get it done ...

 

Why do you have such a low opinion of ignorant people ?

It's not their fault !

 

Because it takes nothing in life to have manners, be polite or just simply not be so closed minded and judgemental of other people.

 

But that's not the problem with ignorant folk !

They haven't been given the basic skills that you take for granted.

It takes a lot of education & coaching to develop a "nice" human being - something that a lot of parents don't seem to realise.

 

Poorly educated and obese. Linked. Discuss.


Mr Big Fud, i just loved your use of the phrase "good living". Mate it's gluttony, pure and simple. Give up the excess pies before you're another statistic on the Type 2 diabetes register...

 

Great idea, we should have started with Winston Churchill - he was a flabby waste of space...

 

would it be OK to sink it if they where all fat?

 

Can we at least cite somebody from an era where the dangers of obesity were fully recognised please?

 

Fat fingers???

 

 

i thought this was a **** take thread and you lot have gone and ruined it. why so serious. i cannot believe the original OP was in any way serious. if he was then i would have approached this thread and my replies differently hence

how can you justifying putting fat people down. they are either big boned or have a thyroid condition.

being a fatty myself i can take the **** out of myself. i am this way because i choose to be this way. i just must have a thick skin as nowt of what is said in here ever bothers me. it might do for some people though. as for being racist, discrimatory etc etc, ffs calm yerselves down.

 

I would, if I weren't so busy being paralysed by laughter.

Tel, you usually make a lot of sense, regardless of whether I agree with your point of view, but that is just a ridiculous suggestion.


Or how about we all just live our own lives and leave everyone else the Hell alone?


Just because you don't want to be overweight or end up with a weight related health issue, it's not for you, or anyone else, to judge the lifestyle of other people. As far as I am aware, nobody on here is the Simon Cowell of body shape and none of us have opted to star on The XXL-Factor.

Some don't care about their weight and some have other problems to contend with. One thing is sure though, very few of those people will be "helped" or convinced to change by abuse and rude or snide comments and taunts from other people.

Although obesity is usually the result of over-eating, it's very often little to do with the food itself and might well not be just greed. I know this for a fact because I've been there. It's just like any other compulsion. People who wash their hands every 5 minutes are not doing it because they really think their hands need washing - they know as well as anyone else that they did it 5 minutes ago, but telling them to "just stop doing it" is as useful as telling someone with a problematic relationship with food to "just stop eating".

Some of you won't be able to understand that. Fair enough. But if you don't get it, just SHUT THE **** UP and stop making life harder for those people who not only get it but live with it every second of every day. Go and tell paraplegics to "just get up and walk FFS, you lazy *******". It'll have just as much effect.

I've swung between compulsive eating, bingeing and then purging and borderline anorexia for a very long time now. In the last few years my weight has changed dramatically, both up and down, and I've varied between a size 12 and a size 18. Absolutely none of that is anything to do with a lack of education, a lack of knowledge of nutrition, salad dodging, laziness, or how doughnuts taste. In fact, during a binge I have very little concept of what I am stuffing down my neck actually tastes like because it's not about the food. And yeah, I have problems. What those problems are is actually none of the business of anyone here. In fact none of this is the business of anyone here, I'm only mentioning it to explain where my perspective comes from. I leave myself wide open to abuse by saying it, I realise, but then that's nothing new here, where any perceived weakness or difference makes it open season. It's not actually new anywhere because the bog-standard, first line of insults ever to be directed at a female target is virtually always 'fat' and 'ugly'. I'm actually pretty immune to the insults of others by now, because I am what I am and all I can do at any time is my best. As long as that's the case, I don't have to answer to anyone else; judgemental Scoobynetters included.

And for anyone with smart arsed comments to make, I suggest you go and remove the logs from your own eyes. That way you'll be better able to see the fat people you are making fun of.

 

thks bigsinky

Maybe we should have stuck with the relative merits of “going big going early”

Tbh honest not something I’ve tried to date – but at my stage in life it might be an appropriate modus operandi

 

 

Sod diets, my proposal is a government subsidy on decent (well fitting) corsets for 'larger' ladies!

Mmmm corsets...

 

Some times its down to what you wear.......webbing is a no, no.

 

yes off course, that would be perfectly acceptable

look - as a watch wearing bike riding Muslim with Romany blood who has recently emigrated to this country, hanging onto the wheels of the Eurostar - direct from a campsite in France -- I find some comments on this forum objectionable

 

lets all calm down, get all the fat chicks together and have a 'pig party'

 

society doesn't really help those with no will power.

we get friday treats in our office and, literally, about 100 donuts have just been delivered to our floor.

 

Very true. I'd support my case for a corset subsidy with photos but people browsing SN from work might not appreciate it.

 

I go along completely with Lisa's opinion on the subject of this thread and the sort of posts that it has generated from some people.

There will be people who are sensitive about their weight on this forum and I deplore those who think it is funny to mock them in general.

I was brought up to believe that it is extremely bad manners to draw attention to a person's appearance and I still support that.

live and let live if you ask me... unless you smell. if you don't wash or don't wash your clothes and stink, especially of bo, you're despicable scum. no excuse for it.

 

What have a fat bird and a moped got in common?

Both great to ride until your mates see you with them!!

Seriously though, don't get people who are fat through choice and eat and eat and eat. They get themselves to the point they can't play with their kids, or walking becomes an issue. Obese people are as bad as smokers - cost the NHS a fortune Was in Budapest this weekend and this english lass in front of us, ok wasn't a round ball, but was fat and waddled because she had to move one leg round the other to walk - WTF

 

Not so sure. You might not want it to be true, but the links are there. Here's the very first one Google came up with;

Obesity linked to poor education | Herald Sun


Education, income and obesity are incestuously linked. Of course there will always be exceptions, and in today's society it's harder than it's ever been to avoid being tempted by the array of quick, calorific food on offer. But those of poorer educational and socio-economic backgrounds succumb soonest. Fact of life i'm afraid.

 

I weigh 17st 4lb and am 5'10ft so am what you would call fat. I eat very small meals and don't drink any booze. So I must be fat because I'm a lazy bastid right?

I worked like a dog since 15 and sometimes worked 2 jobs. I have never asked for anything in my life, if I wanted something I worked for it. I stuggled all my adult life to put weight on as I rarely touched 10st. I suffered being called Q-tip and dipstick becasue I was so slim. My nickname was whippet. But now I'm fat! Fat because I'm lazy, eat like a pig and drink like a fish?
Nope I'm fat because I am in a wheelchair and can't exercise any more due to my disability. I'm fat!

Laugh away f*ckwits!

 

this thread really has opened a can of worms -- at least it wasn't a Greggs Pasty i suppose
