I'm going to that word again......:X

[blu3wave]

What is wrong with calling people fat nowadays? Why do ppl get so uptight whenever someone on here says they are disgusted by fatties? Maybe One and all on this site are Fat? I cant think of any other reason....... is it really that terrible to call someone fat? When they are? It might actually help them you know so they notice it too and go on a diet. About time, I think!

[4getmenot]

The reason it was wrong is that as everyone said it had nothing whatsoever to do with post. Being fat isn�t a factor in it at all. We�ve all seen those programmes with drunk people on the streets, they are all sorts of shapes and sizes.

[Goodsoulette]

What is your definiton of fat first?

[someguy0000]

dont think there is anything wrong with it.........although, i would imagine if you looked in your heart you would realise that you could be ,potentially, really destroying some ones self asteem. If you really thought as well,that you wanted to help these 'poor unfortunate' creatures, a little more tact perhaps might not go amiss.

[redcrx]

nothing wrong with it at all by said to friends and family you care for and know its not meant as an insult.

If used as a form of abuse or insult about a stranger its not nice at all.

OMG maybe everyone on this site is fat, but whats that matter?

[blu3wave]

I dont think its that hurtful really, its not a swear word.

[4getmenot]

You are entitled to you opinion and if that is to hate all fat people without getting to know them so be it. All your friends must be so perfect. But then what is perfect?

[redcrx]

is a swearword worse than an personal insult in your opinion?

[4getmenot]

if you want to try and not be hurtful large would be a better word if you really have to set the scene

[blu3wave]

I think both can be equally offensive. Fat is a descriptive word. No way around it.

[blu3wave]

How about massive? Or enormous? or mammoth size?

[4getmenot]

but why do you hate all fat people?

[4getmenot]

or frumpy?

[redcrx]

ugly, can also be a descriptive word, so can bitter.
so these are not offensive.?

[Sasha13]

As 4get says, it's because it has nothing to do whatsoever with your question and is just mentioned purely to get a reaction.

It is indicative of someone who is lacking in empathy towards other people and who has little feelings for other people.

[blu3wave]

How do you know that 4get ? maybe i have some fat friends too.. fact is, you dont know me, maybe i'm trying to see why some ppl get het up over the word FAT?

What a horrib;e person you sound like..
Even if someone is 'large', what's it matter. If they're happy then leave them alone.

Some bigger people are still attractive and lovely people at the same time..

What's the obsession anyway?

I take it you look like Angelina Jolie!!!!

[4getmenot]

Then I feel sorry for your friend especially if they were to read this and your horrible opinions of a girl you�ve said you don�t even know just because she�s fat.

[B00]

Its the "disgusted by fatties" comment I find wrong.

[Rosenicola]

And by the way, i'm a size 10, before you think i'm a bigger person saying this..
