Really,I wanna know what's up with this? Some stores only carry up to size 2. The smallest size is now a 00. Smallest waist size 24-30 . So anybody over these measurements by today's Standards is fat. Fat could be 130 pds. What is Wrong with Today's Society with Weight and why do we Dog Fat People as having No Control and as Piggish when maybe it's a Medical thing?

"seem"??? Let's confirm that - there's a definite bias against fat folks...

I just got back from an Ani DiFranco concert and the lady next to me was so large that she took up a third up my seat. I know it's not her fault, but was this fair to me?

Don't you find it kind of funny that a fat society dogs fat people?

Yes,this is True. Why? We see nothing but Commercials for food and fast Food Restaurants on t.v. but God Forbid we do eat this stuff. Right? So we either must Work out or Have Liposuction or else as People we are not Alphas. So to speak THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE. This is all Bullshit for People to Hate on Fat People. It's wrong and I say Don't Judge people by their Weight.

No.

I'll have to tell you about the two fat hookers in front of me at the Louisville ONA.

Natasha said:

You just HAD to use that phrase, didn't ya?

Supernova take the whole line to reprint cause that looks like I said one should hate on fat people and I said they should not.

Natasha said:

I was talking about the phrase "hate on"...I despise it. Utterly. Totally. Passionately. But nevermind me, Natasha. Carry on.

Natasha said:

why must you refer to these ppl as being "fat"? why not "overweight"? .. surely the poor little porkers deserve at least that much respect..

How do you know they were hookers?

Lets face it we are a society of Overweight People in the USA. Yet we Feel A Hatred for Ourselves. I have noticed the European fans were much thinner than ourselves at the Celebration. What is the secret? Do we just have Too Much Here that we Indulge in? Are we not as Controlled as they are? I seriously wanna know why Americans generally seem to be getting larger and larger each and every year as we continue with Weight Problems.

Natasha, I remember several posts of yours in the past on this topic. But then, you were telling women not to get fat, and that they looked like pigs if they did, and that they would lose their boyfriends/husbands.

So what happened? Did you gain a bunch of weight all of a sudden, and now you're sensitive to the plight of the overweight?

lovemachine said:

NO, not fair to you at all.

See that's where it gets tricky - what do you guys think about a person so fat they take up more space on an airline seat than they should,therefore the airline charges them (or wants to charge them) for 2 seats?

note: I say "than they should b/c it's clear that being that big is just unhealthy...

I think there's too many people who just eat w/ abandon & bitch about the consequences of it. I don't wanna sit next to somebody like that on a plane, not to be mean but it's just friggin' uncomfortable.

If it's a true medical condition that's one thing, but if you're just being willy nilly w/ your health b/c you don't care, that's something else. Especially when it starts to get in the way of people around you.

I guess I sound kinda angry about this, but I know a lot of people battling their weight & they're so unhappy. I hate to see them that way but there's nothing you can do for them, you know? They have to want it for themselves & work damn hard to change. You just have to hope they get there...

No,firstly I've Always Felt like a Whale so when I talk about being Fat trust me I feel Fat Myself. I sympathize because I have always Felt this way. I have Never Hated Fat People Ever. I always Felt Fat.

I had a baby and gained 60 pds. Boy was that Fun. Lost most of it but was 110 pds before with no Hips. Now,I have Hips and I'm 120. And I just Can't lose those 10 pds. My Body changed . I'm thinner in different spots. I feel like Sally Kellerman from Foxes going I Hate My Hips. Maybe you think me Conceited I am not or Vain. Yes,well you gotta look good,but this is a Problem for me and it causes Major Depression for me.Exercise doesn't Help. Soon I swear it's Liposuction.

Natasha said:

what do you have against "large" ppl? will you please stop calling them fat! it's about time you realised these blimpos need our support..

Natasha, the only person I've ever seen you quote is yourself. 'Sup with that?

That's true Supernova that happens alot. I don't know I guess you can call it a Brain Fart.

lovemachine said:

It was just a guess.

So, Natasha, you say you weigh 120lbs. and you're "fat"...

What are the others' definitions of "fat" here? How overweight does one have to be to be considered "fat"?

NegaTIVity said:

Depends on your body - how tall you are, bone structure, all that stuff...

'Why does it Seem society Dogs Fat People?'

because they are fat !!!

I'm sorry, but fat people get no sympathy from me. Yeah, "maybe" it's a medical thing, but "usually" it's a laziness thing. At my old job, I worked with these girls who would always complain about their weight, and then eat fast food everyday for lunch. I think they should have to pay for two seats on an airplane if they are keeping the airline from selling that second seat to someone else. Why should the airline have to lose money on account of their eating habits?

BTW, I also cannot stand the term "hate on"... I hope the idiot who came up with it dies a slow, painful death...

End.

LOLOL!!!

Damn straight! Fat people on airplanes bug the crap out of me. . .I'm sorry, but if you do not have the money to buy two airplane tickets to wherever you need to go, you should just walk, period. Maybe then your fat ass will get smaller!

Amusement park rides are the worst. I just about feel like I'm gonna die when some fatass sits next to me. . .I'm afraid the fucking ride will break. I'm sorry, but if you are that fat, you should just realize that those things were made for thin people, and nobody wants to sit next to your nasty self and risk death. The only ride you should be riding is a treadmill.

And have you been to a mall lately? Seeing them try to buy themselves clothes, and then stopping at the food court to HAVE LUNCH! These people have a lot of nerve thinking they have a right to buy themselves clothes that fit when they go around eating when they are hungry. Come on, get some fucking self control, or buy yourself a sewing machine and stop whining.

Some people think that we should have compassion for people regardless of what they look like, and not make assumptions about their lives and lifestyles when, in fact, we don't konw what the hell we are talking about. Some people think that a youth worshipping culture has created an insane body image that actually destroys lives, and it's really sad. But really, why should we waste our time feeling sorry for the fatsos when we can be making fun of them instead?

Who's with me?

Doves,
Mel!ssa
