[Closed] You're Fatist!

Only 'almost' felt sorry for her? What would it have taken for you to actually feel some sympathy towards a lone woman being abused by strangers?

Jimmy Carr, I believe?

That's pretty nasty. Brave lot of people in that store and a good example to the young boy.

STW the place of left wing hand wringers, except if you are fat or slightly religious.

Maybe if we all tired a bit harder and abused all the fat people we see they'll be motivated to lose some weight and make the nation a bit healthier. We could start a national 'Abuse a Fatty' day.

I don't know why I feel it's OK to take the Michael out of fat people.

I know it's wrong. The voices in my head just seem to go 'ssshhhhhh, just see what happens and when we're done here we'll go drown some kittens'

We could start a national 'Abuse a Fatty' day.

Easter Sunday?

except if you are fat or slightly religious.

What about fat religious people, can we doubly abuse them?

I abuse myself regularly.

A sad sign of the times where people feel they can 'abuse' another human being.
However society seems to like to pick and choose what groups are easy pickings fat, cyclists etc etc

On the subject of people its ok to persecute, I saw a proper ginner wearing one of these sweatshirts last weekend

She wasn't fat though

😆

Jimmy Carr joke

No need to abuse fatties, just the implementation of great landwhale hunting. As they slowly move down the high street, filter feeding on gregs pasties..shoot em with a harpoon and haul them into a transit for making into soup and ive heard the tubster bone corsets are the next big thing in ladies fashion. Through natural selection the faster, sleeker ones will escape and we'll all become thinner and more bootiful to behold.

Already a good business model:

I wouldn't say I'm a fatist, though how people look after themselves is important to me in terms of earning respect on the other hand your body your life. However I would liken those parents who allow there Children to be overweight or obese and not do anything about it as outright neglect.

Ginners can get away with it if they're female and foxy, I give you:

[i]Jimmy carr joke[/i]

I thought it was good for an come back thought of on the spot.

If Jimmy Carr does it as a joke it is acceptable but not if someone else does?

When did bullying and tormenting people become a fun pastime? Maybe the OP should have stood up for the woman instead of s****ing with the rest of the cowards.

You almost felt sorry for her? What a nasty person you appear to be.

As a joke, it's a "story", in reality it's bullying of people with overactive glands/big bones/self-esteem isues/ no self control.

Ginners can get away with it if they're female and foxy

All three of them will still smell of wee.

Probably not neglect in most cases, just ignorance.

I respect people based on who they are and what they do, rather than their size.
Your way sounds much easier and quicker though.

This was a real world situation (possibly), very different to a comedian standing on stage. Surely you understand the difference?

The bloke in the shop is being a dick in front of fewer people?

A sad sign of the times where people get all up in arms about what is clearly a JOKE and they are not the punchline.

The bloke in the shop is being a dick in front of fewer people?

The bloke in the shop only exists within the joke 🙄

I don't like comedians who's act is just a barrage of abuse at other people and groups, but I seem to recall that Jimmy Carr is just as likely to make himself the butt of one of his jokes as anyone else.

Fatness is not always due to over-eating. Again, some nasty comments on here.

Yep.
Not like getting wound up over something serious, like oooh, music, say? 😀

Yes, I know. 🙂

It's not about the person making the remark it's about the context in which the remark is made. When the comedian does it, the members of the audience are willing participants, when the woman popped out to the local shop she wasn't expecting to be the butt of someone else's joke.

Or does anyone really think that all Jimmy Carr's (or any other comedians) stories are just a retelling of things that actually happened to him?

I think it is generally (and in the context of growing obesity within the first world) a surfeit of calorific intake. A simple energy equation really.

This is STW remember, the most easily offended corner of the intarweb.

Look at the size of her, she needs to stop eating biscuits.

Sounds to me like that bloke was trying to give the boy some sound advice... eat too many pies/biscuits and look like that.

See this is where its a PC world gone mad. You cant call fat people fat, indeed you cant even call them over weight or obesse these days.

The truth hurts ay...

Fixed that for you.

Woman? What woman?

She.
Doesn't.
Exist.

Big bones?

You still have to eat (too much) to become fat though, just that it might not be a conscious choice.

To lighten the mood a little on this lovely sunny Friday, here is something that really did happen.

MSP - nope.

With all of those if you eat too much you get fat.

Its a simple equation. Too may calories in vs those used and you put on weight.

Those conditions may make it harder to control but the principle is the same.

Ah...
