You find someone questioning whether i'm fat because of my defensive nature "funny". My opinion still stands.

It's funny in context with the other posts on this thread pertaining to that. You can have all the opinions you want, doesn't make them right.

Anyway, back on topic.

Why because I find something amusing? Is that your usual argument when discussing topics? Very mature.

His point is valid. Mature is NOT laughing at a pathetic joke about someone being fat.

I doubt that.

As above, in context with the posts on the thread. I wasn't saying lol because I thought he was fat but at the way lysander asked if he was because of his defensiveness.

If you have to explain a joke it really isn't funny.

It wasn't a joke though :confused:

It was a post. Pedants galore.

You can make amusing observations without them being jokes per se.

Anyway, people should just lighten up. Nobody should feel offended here, nothing personal has been said.

My comment was slightly meant in a light-hearted way. Now we all know you're not fat, great. Don't take everything so seriously [choose the condescending smilie of your choice:

You've had your say, think of me what you like, Jodie. Back on topic, like you suggested 7 posts earlier.

I don't think anything of you.

Even if this argument is about 'attractivenes' which ok it's subjective and each to their own but a clear winner would be fat= not so good!!
More so it should be about staying healthy and being good to yourself! I'm sure we'd all like to stuff our faces with crap all day long but we know what happens, so hopefully most of us don't.
I should know I live among the fatties in America

Skinny with big big boobs ***!

Pedant? Do you actually know what you're saying? I'm not being pedantic.

You seem to enjoy coming off as all high and mighty here, throwing the word 'immature' about when on the same page you laugh at the most immature comment in this thread.

edit, what perfect timing:

I'm not being high and mighty at all, it's easy to be misunderstood on the internet. Just as you misunderstood my comment you quoted. I meant that I thought neither better or worse of him but just jump to conclusions.

I'm amazed I'm not fatter, I eat a lot of junk food on the run with the kids. They eat lovely homecooked meals by me and I end up eating rubbish

[TW]Fox · 23 Jan 2008 at 17:53

Why are you on the run with your kids? Are you escaping the law?

Yes, you all know now, why might that be? Because you wanted to find out, remember?

I don't take everything seriously, but in my defense, obesity is a serious matter. I even mentioned in previous posts that i think "fat" is a derogatory word, how could you not expect me to take it seriously?

On topic, appearance is completely subjective, and figure size is no exception to that rule, in my opinion of course.

Tefal · 23 Jan 2008 at 18:02

How can fat be a derogatory word?

That's like saying muscle or boney or tall is derogatory.

Do you find overweight people attractive?
