    Hahaha weight jokes are funny and dont cause any harm to anyone who is overweight. Let’s keep making fun of fat people because they are fat. Grow up, stop being a bully. I was thinking of a friend that committed suicide the week before graduating high school because she was laughed at for her weight. There’s millions of other things to make fun of about a repubtard but make fun of his ideas and not his weight.

      Weight is too far but reputard is fine? Amazing.

      You care because you have a personal connection, that’s reputarded behavior.

        You’re not wrong factually, but you certainly didn’t need to sink even lower while making your point. Never mind Republicans have well-earned the disrespect because they’ve long been giving even worse.

        Being fat is a symptom of mental stress. Do you honestly think you’re helping by piling on to that stress?

        Those people you mention that claim being fat is healthy are obviously trying to cope with their stress. They’re trying to find a way to feel “normal” despite all the external attacks on their person. Deep down they know the truth, but they can’t deal with that until they deal with what got them there first. They need to fix the foundation of their problems before they can fix the additional damages it caused.

          Shame can also be a motivator, it has an evolutionary role.

          Being overweight is a series of choices. Not an immutable characteristic.

          I’m a hard determinist, so I empathise with your viewpoint and it has merit, however, if you believe in free will, you believe the person has some agency.

            Trust me, no fat person needs your help to feel ashamed of themselves. Whether it’s actually the case or not that there would be no other motivation to not be fat if there was no shame associated with it.

            Also what difference does it make to you if someone else is fat?? It’s literally none of your business, why make it into a problem that needs solving?

              Dawg I’m fat too. We’re not a monolith.

              It’s good to promote health. Light pressure applied with empathy can be a good thing.
