All kidding aside (sorta), I'm kinda sorta like Yeahha, I don't have any sacred cows and will seek out the humor in anything (even if the mods are touchy about it, which they are). Where I draw the line is personal attacks though, unless it's something that's completely within a person's control. Like someone that's over-weight, if they have the control but can't manage their urges then they deserve the ridicule IMO.

How in the heck can you tell whether someone who's overweight has "control" over that or not? Even offline. Not cool.

I tend to not express it on AF ;) and generally I let it be known I am joking and not trying to ridicule the person...

A lot of people blame their weight on their health issues. It's like driving around with a flat tire and damaging your wheel, and claiming that the wheel is defective. I have no problem with it because I used to struggle with my weight. I learned that I could either continue to have a weight problem, or I could do something about it. I became active, started working out daily, stopped eating fast food, stopped eating sugary foods/soft drinks. The weight came off. If someone wants to live an inactive lifestyle and eat nothing but junk food then that's fine, but them making that decision doesn't give them immunity from ridicule....And Holy hell is this the longest post in this thread?!?!


Oh and I know that some drugs cause weight gain and some things other than fast food or inactivity can add weight, but that's part of taking care of one's body....

I pretty much sit around all day and eat crap & I'm underweight. You don't know others' stories so ridiculing anyone about weight is pretty assy.
