Well, I can imagine it either fat or skinny and it really doesn't change.

The implication here is that the only reason it was happening was because they were fat. That continues on that this behavior, whether it be yelling at people from a "scooter", walking backwards filming and rolling on the street would never had happened if they had been gloriously thin. Those actions described would have been, at the very minimum, head shaking done by anyone. Fat isn't part of the scenario. Sorry, but it just isn't plausible or necessary to convey what was going on.

When the story was told and FAT mother, FAT father and FAT children were placed with so much emphasis it became almost the total issue and all about physical and not personality expectations. Like, oh well, they were fat...what do you expect!

Again, fat is a descriptor, an adjective. It helps the person reading the story picture the scene better. Just like saying a stormy night helps the reader see exactly what it was like better than just saying one night. That's all it is, a descriptor that applied to these people. I think the emphasis was to show that they were very fat not that the situation would happen only because they were fat. I think the OP was trying to say they weren't just a little overweight they were FAT. When you're only communicating through written word, you have to use some little things that can be taken different ways, unfortunately. I think this was the OPs way of saying very fat, like if you said...there was this guy and he was TALL. I don't think anyone would say oh you're saying that would only happen if the guy was tall, no then I think everyone would simply say oh that guy must have been really tall.

Meh, the real objective of the story was to point out the odd behavior of the guests, but FAT is always going to be a hot button
I'm fat (biscuitous:p :) , but I am at a stage where I really only care about it in terms of my health, it is not because I'm a bad person or lazy. I do see every day the terrible things that happen to people when they can't control their weight for whatever reason :( I have the same feelings whenever I see someone who has caused their own health problems whether it be from the use/abuse of a substance, starving themselves,too much plastic surgery, whatever. It is sad.
However, if you are going to use my health problem to ridicule me or discriminate against me, when I get a chance I'll CRUSH your skinny ass! :twisted:

And if it were pertinent to the story I would agree. In this case the over emphasis on the word doesn't fit the story line. Fat does not equal stupid. You can't fix stupid...thanks Ron White!

SOMEONE HUG ME AS THIS IS KILLING ME.
I WANT TO DO BAD THINGS AND SAY BAD THINGS
I AM HURTING INSIDE AND THIS PERSON IS A SENSELESS HATE MONGER.
PLEASE MAKE THIS STOP.
I DO NOT WANT TO BE BANNED BUT I CANNOT TAKE THIS HATE SPEECH ANY MORE.

Goes off to cry which lead to depression and eating to feel better because I do not do the happy pills and booze.

Lots of hate in that post as well, not to mention attacking the OP. What is that word I am looking for...

Goofyernmost wrote: So we partially agree...the use of the word fat in this story was very, very offensive. That shouldn't send you into a spiral, it is the users way of showing anger, hatred and bigotry...but not yours, it's theirs. The word is just a word. By itself it means nothing. I believe in myself and nothing anyone can say will alter that. I know who and what I am. Fat and proudly aware that nothing has ever held me back or interfered with how well I have done in life.

I'm offended that you are offended, you should go sue yourself.

And since we are quoting movies, "Lighten up Francis."

I loved Stripes

The thing is the OP was "painting a word picture" and the image that description conjures up is one of absuridity. The fat description sums up in one word, the spectacle that occurred from them being of a portley nature, and yes, would add a bit of clownishness to the whole Tableau.

The site makes fun of stupid guests. Is it getting too "PC" that a poster cannot describe what was seen, in his or her own words?

are the PC police going to want the site operator to shange "Stupid Guest" to "mentally challenged guest"

Common people lets get over our problems and realize that the post is NOT about you and your precieved "slight", its just the OP describing an SG!

If you take things personal on this, or any other discussion board, perhaps you should just step away from the computer.

RUM time!!!

Thank you so much.

Too many bigots believe that fat people are lazy. That fat people just set and eat and eat. They only see us fat people as lazy. I gained 30 pounds and most of it was soda pop. Most bigots think that fat people are lazy but do not realize that drinking one can of soda pop a day can add 14 pounds a year. Just 10 calories a day extra can add on 10 pounds a decade.

The bigots say fat people are lazy. Actually there are metabolic disorders that cause weight gain. Did anyone, especially the bigots, read Gurgi's story? Studies show that how the mother eats affects the size of the baby before it is born. The bigots tell you that fat people are lazy but do not mention that being fat means spending more money on clothes and spending more energy getting around. The bigots tell you that fat people are lazy but do not address why they are fat.

I was stuffed as a kid by my mother who is a neurovariant like me. I will go jogging with bigots who say us fat people are lazy but first wait for me to get out of bed. My knees are stiff. My knees and walking hurts but tell the government to get me a scooter so I can go to Disneyland to exercise. I spent Thursday walking a bit at a time. I would love to run and jump and lift weights to loose weight but I am crying at night when the pain gets so bad that my can no longer type and I drop things because of that wrist.

Wow SGT is allowing hate speech and people to attack a group of people. I go to wait for banishment for saying how I feel. I do not tolerate hate speech or attacking any group except stupid guests. Wow has SGT changed.

Ahem. Moderating marsupial (or other small animal) needed aisle 12.
Saying fat is perfectly fine. The name of the compound that makes people large is called fat. And I think part of the reason we have such a fat problem in the US is that we are too PC to tell people they are fat and need to lose weight for their health.
SGT's purpose is to share stories of what SGs do, and involves plenty of story telling. As part of telling a story, you have to pick words and ways of wording things to properly express what you saw and properly make stuff up to make it sufficiently entertaining since we have SUCH a high standard.

Fat daughter #2 who has taken it upon herself to ROLL (arms flailing and all) ROLL herself DOWN THE ENTIRE STREET. And what is fat daddy saying the whole time to fat momma... LOOK - AIN'T SHE CUTE.

All controversy aside, I love the mental image. I keep picturing Violet Beuregard rolling her fat, round blueberry butt down the street.

(For what it's worth. I have some extra pounds myself, and there ain't no good reason for it other than the fact that I love to stuff my face.)
