It's a great story. IMO..you basically quit because you had to have known that her fat ass was going to be very upset about your comment...

I'm glad you ALSO went down memory lane, except in your case is was 2nd grade.

As far as spelling goes Mr. adrien_j9, would you like to share with us what these words you used mean as they are not in an English dictionary:

-
sooo
-schoolers
-sheeple

Awww...did I hurt your feelings? Gee, I'm awfully sorry! Dude, get over it.

Don't like what you read? Hmmm, here's a thought....don't read it. I know, I know, it's an outrageous idea, and one you may struggle with, but I firmly believe -with time- (and maybe some counseling) you WILL be able to control the tantrums.
FYI: There's a word, S-A-R-C-A-S-M, in the dictionary. It properly defines the direction of my first post (you know the one!!! ). Maybe after memorizing this term, you'll understand your questions. Looks like you were the only one who didn't understand. Seek help if feeling insecure...

You didn't hurt my feelings but thanks for caring.

What you and the others are missing is the main point, let me see if I can type slow enough for you to follow along:

Stop making fun of people that are not as fit as you are or think you are!

It's very rude when you refer to someone who is overweight as FAT or FATTY, it's a simple principle try to understand it.

I'm sure that you have at least ONE person in your family that could be considered overweight, do you get in there face and call them FAT or FATTY?

I think it's sad that you think of people in those terms, and I'm sure you would be really bothered if someone described someone you cared about with the terms you described!

I agree...why be in a situation you can't stand if you can help it.

Okay, here it is. You are just the same as everyone else in this post. Is it not very rude when you refer to someone as an ass? Erik was stating fact. She IS fat. She IS a disgusting fatty. Now lets see if we can recall what exactly was said TO her. "You are bigger than me, look at your arms." She IS bigger than him. I know for fact. However, you base your righteous opinion on what you read before your eyes. Notice the word OPINION. Take special note of the word "righteous." You are judging the people in this thread for making fun of people, yet you did the same thing. Recognize this. You want to change the world, rid it of all wrongs? Look internally first.
Oops, I didn't type this slowly, did you catch it? Read it again. And again. And again. You'll process the info sooner or later. Good luck!

I'm sure he wouldn't obsess over it, like you seem to do. Get over it. Move along. Find a new thread. Fight a different cause. Seek therapy!

You know all the things you say about labeling people as (disgusting)fat(ies) wouldl be true ...IF...it was a condition that is un avoidable.
One chooses to be fat. It takes effort, time and money to be fat. It just does not happen.
I bet its just as expensive to get fat and then get even fatter as it is to get fit and stay fit. In the long run...its way more expensive to bloat and stay bloated
Think of all the adjectives that people inflict on us fit people.
Ripped
Buff
Phat ( I dare say)
Swol ( back off spelling Nazi, I know you are out there...Its Ebonics... duh!)
Hot
and of course
Fit n Trim

Should people who work just as hard as the fatties, resent those descriptive terms?
What you are saying...is that its okay for them to label us and we can't cant label them.
NOTE TO ALL..... This is totally absurd, and I like it

It was funny, but you still probably shouldn't have said it to a woman. They're very sensitive don't ya know. (Especially the fat bitches.)

If it was a guy, then that's fair game. I just think we (as gentlemen) should leave it to the fit ladies to shame other (not so fit) women into making a lifestyle change.

No, not in every case. There are people with genuine medical, hormonal and genetic issues that make them fat. And you cannot tell by looking at them. Sometimes it does just happen. It's pretty arrogant and judgemental to make such a sweeping comment as yours. I hope you experience it someday and remember not to judge someone unless you've walked in their shoes.

What a jackass!

Hypocrite. Tell me...what's the difference? Fatties vs. Jackass. Hmmm, both are negative slang used to describe someone. Both can be hurtful if the receiver is a hypersensitive retard. I'm uber digging the virtuous, "protectors of the fatties", replying to this thread preaching to us, all the while committing the very same sins. Notable difference??? You are pissed, annoyed, perturbed, vexed while we are entertained and laughing at you along with the fat chick.
Yet the fact remains: She IS bigger than Erik!!! He only stated fact! He didn't call her fat, rather he was politely pointing out that she was larger than him and giving an example. Opinion dribbles from your lips. Opinion only.

The biggest difference is, that Minatour does not work for Erik.

If you are rude to someone and that someone is your boss, and you are suprised that you are fired, well you are hopeless.

That is not to say that it wasn't a funny or amusing story.

That is logic?

And if you were handicapped, you wouldn't have been asked to take the garbage out.

And then you wouldn't have had the chance to insult your boss.

And so you wouldn't have been fired.

OMG -- they fired you because you weren't handicapped! The outrage!!!

Hypocrite

adrien_j9,

You are absolutely right, by me calling Eric an ASS I was indeed going against what I was saying...I apologize.

But the fact that both of you ignore to recognize that calling people FAT OR FATTY is just plain rude.

I take it you have never been to Wisconsin then.

Insensitive this and that. Everyone who has never been a insensitive jerk at one time or another may speak up here, but if you are guilty the argument should stop.

Personally I take offense to those who are Lazy fatasses. The ones who dont try to stop themselves from over eating and getting to little exercise.

I do not dislike fat people anymore than I dislike skinny people, because you know what, they are still people, and as we all know, there is a 100% chance that there is something that you do not approve about them right away, everyone is different, but if you cannot take the time to help yourself, barring a reasonable medical excuse, then I will find you disgusting.

"How do you know if they have a medical reason" You dont until you get to know them, hence why I save my judgements until after I know that person enough.

And to the gentleman who asked if we would say it to our family members, I have and will continue to tell the fat lazy sob's in my family they are fat. If you sit on the computer, without a job while your husband goes to work, eating all day, then yes, you are a fatty and should accept it or change it.

This is just how I am, so don't take this as law.

Personally, I crack on fat people all the time. I will crack on anyone...to my friends. I would not call someone fat to their face not because I think they will kick my ass, but because why should I ruin someone's day by being a jerkoff. I call my fat friends fat, but we always have called each other shit like that. Now, I find Erik's story quite amusing from my viewpoint, but imagine this fat chick was having a great day and she asks someone to take out the garbage and now someone calls her a big fat dynamo and her day is shot. So she regresses into her twinkie safety net and goes on a binge.

Sometimes I see overweight people having a great time, smiling, being so happy and think to myself, "Why the hell are they so happy, they are fat?" I suppose it has taken a while for me to realize this, but the answer to that is who the fuck cares, they are happy, let them do whatever they want.



If sense were common, everyone would have it.

Oh , I do believe you are a true exception to that statement.

But for the most part, the state is very overweight, must be all that cheese.
