Subject: RE: Joey- WHY BE TOUGH OR RUDE?????
Obese people are not looking for special favors. Why should any comment be made? I don't care if you're rude or just 'trying to help' It's no one's business.
Just because someone weighs 100 or 400 doesn't give ANYONE the right to say anything. Why is it that if you say the wrong compliment to a well endowed woman you can be hauled up on sexual harassment charges but you can say anything to any overweight person and society accepts it? Some reporter told Kirstie Alley to turn her fat *** around so he could get a pic- he SHOULD have been punched. And if she'd given his name I would have been sure to NEVER buy any magazine that published any of his material again.
My weight is my business. Just as anyone you see on the street. You have no idea what their life is like, you have no idea if they have health issues, or just emotional ones. Doesn't matter. It's no one's business.
And, yes, I have gotten into verbal and almost physical altercations regarding comments made to my friends because of their weight. Wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
Fat people can lose weight. Rude people? There's no hope.
