@fuchikoma: Well at least someone knew what I was talking about.

@smmo: I wasn't being dishonest. Can't prove that, of course.

@TheBumbler: Why the hate? It's like I said: fat people consume too much food, take up too much space, and unnecessarily tax the health care system.

@smmo: Not really what I meant. The image I had in my head was of a fat person stuffing their face.

@thegoddesscher: I'm glad that you're a happy person and that you seem to have done well for yourself in life.

@Abstrusan: RE: your comment on people with poor vision, I said in another post in this thread that I have no issue with people that have problems that are beyond their control. Vision, pregnancy problems, genetic diseases, age, etc.

@Thealogian: You can attempt to apply your psych degree and non-professional level of philosophical knowledge to my posts as much as you want, but your assertion that I'm a terrible person seeking validation is wrong.

@smmo: I've thought about this and all of my other views a great deal. Is there no group of people that you hate? Hipsters? Hippies? Neo-cons? Devoutly religious people? Atheists?

@Katcristol: Yep, you're right. And yes I'm simplifying the issue. This is a Jezebel comment thread, not a sociology PhD thesis.

@Thealogian: I'd like you to elaborate on this.

@smmo: I'm trying to argue my position rationally and you're just giving up and calling me names. Who's the idiot?

@Alibelle: I'm aware of the Venus. I actually referred to it, though not by name, in one of my replies in this thread.

@Thealogian: My hatred towards fat people is neither the result of some early life trauma nor of some fear that I will, some day, be obese. Sorry.

@Thealogian: Yeah, as I said in another reply I shouldn't have written that down without explaining my point more clearly. I was referring to the fact that fat people are less physically capable, and as a result less able to defend themselves and their settlements against predators or rival tribes.

@smmo: No to all of your alternative examples. They aren't breech, diabetic, near-sighted or old by their own actions (unless it's type 2 diabetes).

@TheBumbler: I know what a muscle up is. Since you mentioned that so quickly, I know you probably lost weight with Crossfit. Good for you.

@nillawasteher2: Yes I would've touched on how fatties wouldn't have existed unless they were at the head of some tribal/patriarchal/matriarchal unit, but I didn't have enough time to put it all together in a cogent way.

@misoheartsderby: No no.

@nicoleamaria: This isn't "hate speech." Read up on the law.

@Hadaken: Great post. LOL
