After derek_starships unintentionally hilarious thread, I would like to pose the question:

[b]Is it human nature to be fattist?[/b]

Quite a few jumped on the piss taking bandwagon, as you would expect. This is a public forum after all. But there wasn't much sympathy in the air until derek reacted.

The image that provoked the responses:

[img] [/img]

I don't consider myself to be (too) fattist but have mates that are merciless in their critcism. And will comment on anyone, including me, who carries as much as a spare ounce.

I bet Derek is made up that you have posted the picture again.

Personally I couldnt give a toss. I'm rather rotund myself.

What? men commenting on the appearance of other men, do they talk about the latest diets too? - I thought that was the preserve of insecure girls?

ah well - enlightened times I suppose

Not "fatt"ist per se, just "-ist".

I'll gladly take the piss out of anyone about anything - sex, colour, religion, size, sexual preference, type of bike, facial hair, dress sense etc etc without any prejudice.

If they want to give as good as they get in return, that's absolutely fine. Good for toughening the skin!

Fat people look funny, it's as simple as that. We can't help laughing at them in the same way that we can't help laughing when someone gets their head stuck in railings.

Now, a fat person with their head stuck in railings, that would be f***** hilarious!

I'm not fattist, but I dont think being fat is a good idea in general and so I tend to discourage and dislike it (I'm a bit chunky at the moment myself!). But I think fattist is another level entirely, that would be discriminating against people rather than just having an opinion on their appearance. If I were to stop a fat person from coming into my home, that'd be fattist. If I were to say that person is fat and that I dont think it's a good idea isnt fattist.

But then I think an athletic form is the best, both in terms of looks and health, and in general that's pretty much borne out by science and everyday evidence.

I am a red head, and the people un-liking ginger people are prejudice, if some one was prejudice about the colour of someone’s skin would be racist.

So I think this post is both offensive and racist.

So as a result

lobby_dosser = racist wan*er

and also

barnsleymitch = racist wan*er

I hadn't seen derek's thread. That looks astonishingly sore. 😯

I probably am fattist, yes. A very large chunk of my self-worth is tied up in working hard on the bike and keeping in good shape. The thought of having a proper belly on scares the hell out of me, and I certainly do take that out on people who have one. Not a very nice trait. 🙁

Just preserving this piece of phonetically-spelt rage in case the edit function spoils it for everyone. 🙂

I suspect we all feel better* than those in a position we consider worse than our own, if it's a position we consider the person has put themselves in (eating too much etc) rather than one they have no choice over (skin/hair colour etc).

*when I say better, I mean we feel our position is more "correct" - otherwise we'd all struggle to be more like them than ourselves.

To quote Jimmy Carr:

Someone came up to me last week and complained about a joke... quite a big-boned girl.

She said: "I think you're fattist."

I said: "No.... I think [u]you're[/u] fattest".

 

(PS Not seen my cock in four years and I have to look in a mirror to see if my socks match)

I don't have a problem with fat people, just the ones who won't admit its all their doing.

Time to get this discusssion back on track . . . .

Tax the fat bast@rds! Smokers contribute to the NHS through high tax on ciggies, drinkers pay high beer tax so why shouldn't the greedy. I work in Glasgow - the fat capital of Britain and they annoy the hell out of me. They should pay more for buses & trains as they take up more space, their clothes should be more expensive as they need more material. And I'm sick of hearing them blaming it on fat genes. Bollocks! You should see the queue outside Greggs at lunchtime.

I would hate to be overweight (as in to the point of putting life at risk) Fatties who moan that they've got high blood pressure, back problems, their knees hurt and they wheeze walking upstairs really grip my s**t.

That being said, if someone is unhappy about their size and are trying to do something about it, more power to them..

I saw a bloke the other day with what must have been about 3k of bike, in full team lycra eating a pastie.. he must have weighed about 28 stone.. 😯 it just.. bothered me to have to look at it..

oh, and when he finished, he tucked into an icecream the greedy fat get.. he hadn't even been out, his bike was spotless ❓

Nezbo - as a well known racist wan*er, I'd best throw into the mix that before I went bald, I too was a 'red head' as you so politely put it. I've still got ginger bollocks though, but that's all part of life's rich tapestry.
PS, if I could find a smiley that depicted a fat bald Barnsley bloke looking furious, I would have added it.

Back on topic, I think there's a subconscious assumption that if people that can't take care of their wieght/appearance, they'll be slovenly in other aspects of their lives which makes us look down our noses at them.

Also, fat people tend to smell a bit 'yeasty' and sweat more.

Yeasty? I'm liking this already. As I suffer from a wheat intolerance, I find your comment blatantly yeastist - hang your head in shame, cheeky bad boy!

Sorry peeps.

There is only one word that makes my blood boil to the point I though I was going to be done for GBH/ABH when I was younger, but I got away with it. Nothing to be proud of, but it is my red rag...

Enough of me being grumpy, back to the insulting…

the same gene that enabled them to survive in the blighted wastes of Scotland rendered them helpless in the face of easily-obtainable hot food...

I consider it to be my moral duty to be fattist, in the same way that I'm smokerist. Its a caring thing. I don't want anyone I care about snuffing it due to fags or fat.

Hey Fat C**T = I care about you deeply sweetie........ obvious really 😯

to add my two pennyworth:

fat, ginger, dwarf with head stuck in railings - definately very funny, thanks for cheering up an otherwise slightly tedious day.

second and slightly more serious point: if we live in a nanny state (which we do) why don't they stop fat people being fat by taxing bad for you food a lot so 80% VAT on everything from McDonalds, 200%VAT on chocolate etc. 0% on the healthy stuff. You could then use the money generated to subsidise organic farms and stuff!

I hope no politicians are reading this and take it seriously because it would be a bureaucratic nightmare but it could have the desired affect. Fit Britain! Fat Chance!

I miss that brand.

People with allergies are just weak willed, that's what I always say. And yes, I'm pretty fattist. I know that when I'm carrying more weight it's because I've been a greedy, lazy cow and when I get sick of feeling like a greedy, lazy cow, I go and do something about it.

Although my underactive thyroid sometimes has something to do with it.... honest! 😉
