Re: what annoys you?

[quote=Neil;509039]Why is it out of order? If it is what she thinks then its up to her. Its only like me saying I hate it when I am stuck in a queue next to some dirty smelly person who probably hasn't washed for months, like I was in Asda the other day. So now am I a bad person for calling people who don't wash?

Not the same thing at all. Blazey stated she hates fat people. The equivalent would be 'i hate smelly people', where i'm sure all of us have been a bit 'whiffy' at some point in our lives. My point is its a huge generalistaion without going into the background of why.

And Blazey, I, for one, dont change my opinion to fit in with the crowd. If I dont agree with someone on here, I'm not scared of arguing the point with my thoughts, and listening to other opinions. If people agree with me great, if they come up with a valid argument, I may agree with them, surely thats the point of this kind of forum.

Its all too easy to hide behind a computer screen making sly comments that can be aimed at certain members of the forum. I'm not sure if you are very clever, or extremely stupid and insensitive.

A womans weight, especially to those that have been slimmer in the past, is a very touchy subject, and you have hit upon these sensitivities to attack every person that is worried about their appearance. Who are you to judge them? And why do you feel the need to in the first place? You knew when you typed your statement exactly the reaction you would have. Why do it?

And to state paedophaelia is a medical condition is probably the weakest argument you have come out with so far. No one can explain why a paedophile does what he does, but it certainly cannot be used in an debate such as this one. A paedophile hurts and interferes with the innocence of youth, are saying that is the same with people with a weight problem? I would imagine for people that have been subject to sexual abuse as a minor, that statement in itself is extremely offensive and upsetting.

And if you are looking for a career in law, I think you should start opening your eyes a little more to let in the wider picture as oopose to seeing everything in black and white.

At the end of the day Blazey, you have come out with a ludicrous statement, purpely to cause upset and reaction. Good luck in your mission to battle the world
