    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Fat People

Yeah I agree that the original post was pretty callous and just plain rude, not every overweight person is a "fat slob". I also agree that you shouldn't base your opinion "SOLELY" on their outward apperance. However I do believe you can make some pretty good assumptions based on outward apperance. For instance; Someone who is obviously in good shape from exercise is most likely someone who takes pride in their apperance and is willing to work hard to acheive it. Conversley, someone who appears slovenly may not take great pride in their apperance and may have self-esteem issues that may effect how they interact with others.

No one is exactly how they appear, for the most part everyone has a "dark side", some just show that side more readily than others. People can be very UGLY on the outside because they carry their attitude like a badge of honor. We have all seen someone who we are pretty sure is a criminal, etc. simply based on apperance. They may just strike you as being "unfriendly" but there is no denying that it happens.

Like I said before, being politically correct is nice, but it's not always honest.

Cordially,
Chris Marston
 
This is a SOUND OFF board. If you do not like rudeness etc., I really don't care. Posts in this section are better and more interesting if they are a little punchy. They get people thinking and mildly pissed and lead to more vibrant discussion.

As to Miss om, your petty attempt to 'insult' me is boring; try a different approach. But for your benefit allow me to contextualize my original post. A state politician in LA recently wanted to inact a law fining girls who wore suggestive clothing on the grounds that it is indecent. I had that situation in mind when I wrote that fatties are indecent. BTW, what my age is or what I look like in no way effects the indecency of fatties...learn to make a valid argument.

One more point, some of you clowns don't think judging someone by their physical appearance is 'right', but you turn around and want to judge persons by some kind of 'inner beauty'. You are still resorting to aesthetic criteria to make your judgements. This is hypocritical... judge by good inner looks(which anyone can claim they have), but judging by outer looks is some how wrong.
 
I think the fact here is, JT, you can dish it but ya just can't take it. I agree, Spindle, it's not always honest to be PC. And people who take care of themselves through proper diet and exercise do deserve to "take pride in their appearance." However, they do not, in my opinion, have the right to become cocky and start putting down people just because they are overweight.
I also agree that some overweight people may have other types of issues such as self-esteem. But there are tons of anorexics and bulimics who have EXACTLY that problem. So why just point out the "fatties" and blame them?
I must agree with OM that you seem sheltered, JT. To me, you seem very ignorant. For all I know, though, you could be 50 and just really dense. But if you can't deal with our opinions you shouldn't have posted yours in the first place. Your post annoyed me and I responded. I also think that your focus on overweight WOMEN is another sign of your ignorance. And good luck to you, because when and if you DO grow out of this little "phase" of yours, you might just be the person being pointed and laughed at. Because obviously people who are not, for any reason, in PERFECT shape, are just "fat slobs" to you.
One more thing. Why can't you just ignore what we say if, in fact, what OM is saying is "boring"? Heck, I'm having fun just voicing my opinion. I don't know what you're tryin to do.
 
Your opinions do not bother me in the least. Say what you want about me. I was just saying I prefer to be insulted in a funny and original manner than the pedestrian style of Miss om. Now one more thing: If you are a fatty objecting to anti-fatties you have a serious conflict of interest in terms of your analysis. Ask yourself if you are being fair to the anti-fatties.
 
Wow, that has to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard... thanks for showing me how stupid you obviously are, yes stupid, so that I shall no longer bother even reading such garbage.
One rhetorical question: Just how overweight does one have to be to be a true "fatty," I wonder???
 
Thank you for your condolences, Jennifer. I had a really hard time with the loss of the first two...I blamed myself for a couple years (insane I know...shrugs). I still miss them terribly but I'm ok with it now. The 3rd I miss too but she was so sick for so long, she needed to go and I feel relieved for her that she is no longer suffering. People are kinder to their pets! But anyway, thank you. :)

Theresa, that article on weight management and money is soooo true!! I have to buy boxed macaroni and cheese and generic hamburger helper to keep my kids fed...I couldn't afford the grocery bill otherwise! It's so sad when processed foods are less expensive than "real" food but that's the way it is, unfortunately. I do a lot of shopping at asian markets because I can get "real" food for less money there but I still have to go to the factory second outlets to buy the processed stuff to make it through the month.
 
"Just how overweight does one have to be to be a true "fatty," I wonder???"

If your 30 pounds over weight you are considered obese. Could you imagine what 30 pounds of fat looks like? I hear their is a company that sells little chunks of fat in like 5 or 10 pounds to keep people motivated to lose fat. I personally think their is nothing wrong with being 100 pounds over weight if you are happy and that is how you want to live. But outside of the few (considering how many millions are obese in our country) medical issues, you should not be given any extra considerations due to your weight and it should not surprise you when people look at you in astonishment. Being 70 or 100 pounds overweight is similar to the drunk that cannot make it to work and lives in the gutter, or the drug addict with the needle in his arm. It is freakish, and quite hideous to look at any of these... When discussing issues of fat people always try and hide the actual topic by talking about peronality. Are they related?

So if feeding your kids better food meant giving up all your herps, could you do it?
 
Please go to Darin Chappell's post in the 'Just For Laughs' section
under "You might be a redneck if ". He has a true eye for BBW.
 
I'm guessing that J Tyler is probably between the ages of 15-25 since if he weren't he would have all ready refuted that argument. Mr. Tyler why don't you just say your age. I just found this thread today and I'm dying of curiosity. A pic too, many are dying for that one.
I don't really wish to comment on the general topic here. I'm one of those people who always has been slim and unless the metabolism slows down a ton (lookin at my parents it won't) I will always be slim. 6'5" 170 and wish i could put on more weight. Skinny people can be just as self conscious about their size as 'fat' people. I've always grown up wanting to be bigger. Am I skinny because I don't eat enough? Nope! Size isn't all about your eating habits, it can be, but is not always the case.
But I have many friends who are 'thicker' that you may consider obese, or fatties, or whatever. I don't really care that they are though. We hang out in public/private/anywhere, I couldnt care less. I'm not embarrassed by them in the least. Why should I be!?! They are great people, and while some may argue that you always judge people on their looks I don't think thats necessarily the best argument. When I marry one day there will need to be some physical attraction between me and my wife, that's necessary in marriage, as is her personality etc... but as for my friends, do they need to be of a certain physique? NO! WHY? I have certain friends I play basketball with a few times a week (I guess they're the 'slim' ones), others i chill and play video games with (my 'fatty' friends), etc... I know which ones want to do which things and I enjoy doing those things with them. Now if we go to the movies or something we ALL go together cuz thats what friends do, appearances don't matter at all other than your mate. This is just my opinion, kinda off the top of my head, if something i said didnt make sense please ask for clarification. Or if I said anything offensive please point it out as it was not my intent.

Right on Kent,
I have not posted in this thread but have read it. I agree and disagree with some. I did not post here because I have always been on the very thin side, just runs in the family. Thin people get flack too, we get jealousies because we can eat and eat and eat and never gain a pound, but really want to gain pounds. That as well gets just as tiring. Up until a year and half ago I weighed in at 105, usually on heavy days. Due to meds I have had to go on I now weigh a whooping 125 to 130, right smack in the middle of what is HEALTHY for my height. (5'5) I am small boned so this carries a lot in my opinion. I am not used to the extra weight but I love it, finally I feel good. There are some down sides but for the most part I really like it.
It works both ways. I have nothing against anyone whether heavy or thin, you meet someone you click with as a friend or other and all is well.
About the food costs, not sure I agree on that one, I do not eat ice cream or chocolate or cake, never really have, hell my kids love salads and spinach as a SNACK.
You can buy good food without paying a fortune and what you buy to home make your food goes toward many meals, not like those fast easy foods that is just for one meal.
Can give a ton of examples but won't get into it.
Anyway, I am who I am, and I except people who can just be themselves whether big or small. Wish more could do that.
 
Well fat women need love also....... Just not from me... Not my cup of tea when there are tons of hotties out there just ripe for the picking.

Oh and a bit of advice about hot chicks and this comes from experience. When you see one there is always a boyfriend/husband somewhere who is sick and tired of putting up with her crap.. ;)
 
As far as being with someone, it is all a personal preference. I was merely talking about people just being friends with one another no matter how they look. Unless heavy is a personal preference, and that is cool too.

Being friends is one thing, but having a sexual relationship is a different ballgame. Well maybe not ballgame since they are as big as the whole ball park.
 
I couldn't help myself

I thought this was fitting seeing what the subject is. ;)

Fat/thin, tall/short, black/white, rich/poor, male/female, old/young

DOES IT REALLY MATTER??? I mean come on, we are all human. Why isn't that enough to make us realize that all those things only serve to make us a more diverse species.

I've lost to many people i know in the past 9 months to nag about the faults we ALL have. Life is just to darn short for that crap in my opinion!!!!!!!

None of us are perfect. I'm very short, 4' 9 1/2" short. Can't help that it was in the genes. Doesn't make me less of a person than someone taller either. I'm a woman and no less deserving than a man. I'm fair skinned (red head) so i don't tan, i burn. Five minutes in the sun and i'm a lobster, no bronze beauty here. I also have about 30lbs extra weight on me. Not that the men i know are complaining as most of it sits where their eyes like to wander.

If you judge a person on their looks and never take the time to get to know them then its your loss. Theres to many wonderful people out there that can add so much to ones life to just walk past because of how they look.
