I have seen this over and over on the internet. We protect kids, we protect people with cancer, we protect people with heart disease, we protect people with deformities. We don't laugh at those jokes. We don't use them as insults. We don't think the ultimate insult to a woman is calling her skinny. I see this escalating. Overweight women calling thin women bony, thin women calling overweight women fat, everyone calling everyone stupid childish names.
I don't expect people to all have the same Idea of what is beautiful. I don't want to reward obesity. I don't want to encourage anorexia. However, I do want people to just take a minute to think. Thats all. No one wants you to date a "chubber" if you aren't attracted, likewise no one thinks if you like your girls with some meat on their bones you are giving "bony women" the cold shoulder. Everyone likes something different. I am not saying we should encourage obesity, but ridicule? Seems a little extreme.
Obesity is no laughing matter.

Obesity is no laughing matter.
Among children and adolescents, annual hospital costs related to overweight and
obesity more than tripled over the past two decades – rising to $127 million
during 1997–1999 (in 2001 constant U.S. dollars), up from $35 million during
1979–1981.
Direct health costs attributable to obesity have been estimated at $52 billion in
1995 and $75 billion in 2003.
- Obesity is the #2 cause of preventable death in the United States
- 60 million Americans, 20 years and older are obese
- 9 million children and teens ages 6-19 are overweight
- Being overweight or obese increases the risk of health conditions and diseases including: Breast cancer, Coronary heart disease, Type II diabetes, Sleep apnea, Gallbladder disease, Osteoarthritis, Colon cancer, Hypertension and Stroke

melly~thwarting Satan since... 2012/07/24 23:58:53It is not OK.
+12So stop calling liberals childish names, too. I would never mock anyone for their weight. People are not their weight.
But I really wish there weren't so many overweight people >.<
Proverbs 15; 4A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
Proverbs 19;1Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
Proverbs 4; 24,Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
KJV, Pro; 6;16These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue...
Proverbs 15; 4A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
Proverbs 19;1Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
Proverbs 4; 24,Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
KJV, Pro; 6;16These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
The lying tongue is bent on harming not speaking kind words like Jesus would speak.
Proverbs 12; 22Lying lips are abomination to the LORD.
and Proverbs 3, 32For the froward is abomination to the LORD.
Matthew 15:11;Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
As it turns out the words mentioned are not connected to nudity or sex of any kind like religions would like you to believe. A bully is abominable, defiled, and abominable in the way they talk, and deal with people. They will get eternal soul death if they do not repent.
I don't like to block people even if they are kind of sick.
I have made exceptions.
So please suit yourself.
They know me by my deeds. I deal with people civilly. I don't swarm. I don't block, at least not often. I am consistent. I may be consistently annoying, but I address people and never attack their husband, their children, their looks or their family. Can your friends say the same?
Think about it. I may bait liberals, but there are liberals who bait conservatives. I don't send a little swarm to their polls.
Try to remember that YOU are responsible for your own actions and if I am causing you people to chase? I own you already.
Night.
You live to argue.
I can tell.
Are too.
Anyway, As fun as this was, it has become tiresome. I'm quite sure we will cross paths again Sir Bud.
Last word to you.
See you around SH
This is not justification, this is a reason. When women can range from Summer Glau to Christina Hendricks and still be considered to have an idea body weight, and when a woman can be overweight and that fact be completely ignored because of other things she can and has done, we will be in a better world.
Take care,
