Golden Wheels Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 So you're saying there are still jerks who judge people solely on appearance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Newsworthy? Perhaps. But the story isn't about HER. It's about the shallow (*^*&%^$^#that kicked her out of the store. Less victims, more shaming, please. Also, I thought men were to blame for women's body issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauronimo Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I think you missed the point. Then for my edification, please explain the virtue of more shaming? After all, shaming is the impetus for this story. A girl was shamed for her lack of self respect and became a victim. Now we get to shame the rude B word, who shamed the fat body. in a week's time the rude B word will be a victim due to the onslaught of national media scrutiny. There will be hate mail and death threats for the rude B word, and the fat chick will get a You Go Girl Fat is Beautiful and Real Women Have Curves Hot Fudge Pride Parade. The circle of bull **** continues all because people love to be outraged by bad behavior to feel marginally better about themselves. Promoting tolerance through intolerance of intolerance doesn't sound much like tolerance, now does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promoting tolerance through intolerance of intolerance doesn't sound much like tolerance, now does it? Interesting take. I'd like to string up the "curves are beautiful" crowd myself. Turns out when you're fat, you're not beautiful on the inside, ask your organs that are struggling to survive. But she'll get a lot of go-on-girls anyways because she's up to her 38 inch waist in her 15 minutes of pity. And while the anonymous forces of Internet hate could make the store clerks life a little dicey, without making her the center of attention, she kinda gets away unscathed (though I'm certain some corner of the Internet has already circulated her address, phone number, work schedule, license plate and a list of her fears). Meantime, everyone's a !@#$ing victim anymore. To take my stance to the logical extreme, part of me wishes the girl took a look in the mirror and said to herself, damn it, may be she's right. May be it's time to drop some LB's. Instead, the opposite happened because of our crippling victimhood mentality.

And the bolded part made me laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a perfect world the headline would be: Treat Others With Respect, Treat Yourself With Respect Gross fat girl needs to lose a lot of weight (unless its a medical condition or glandular in which case we apologize, but lets be serious, its probably not) and awful B word needs to stop being such an awful B word because she's not even that hot herself. Then image problems can be the fault of men again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 A friend of mine on Facebook mentioned she was checking out a new frozen yogurt place. Someone asked where it was. Her reply was that it was in a strip mall "next to the Weight Watchers". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I can only shake my freaking head at this. I wish they would have shown the mom. Cannot help but be curious of her image. I am betting either the mom is a knockout or overweight herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 (edited) I can see why she should lose weight, being young and all.. But who really cares. Anybody read the recent BMI story? For 1 in 5, BMI tells the wrong story: http://articles.latimes.com/2013/aug/22/science/la-sci-obesity-predicting-health-20130822 "Obese is bad and lean is good. End of story, right? Wrong, say a pair of University of Pennsylvania physicians and obesity researchers who are calling for better ways to assess individual health prospects than the body mass index, or BMI..." Who the heck is this store employee or anybody else to say somebody isn't healthy just by looking @ them?
