Yep, just what I wanted to deal with today.

Who needs self-confidence? NOT ME!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I know it causes you physical pain and severe mental anguish simply to have to look at me. Do you have to rub it in like that?

"Don't make fun of fat people--they have an illness. Just like alcoholics, they are sick."

Normally I'd be quick to jump in and comfort you, but you can't really take this sort of garbage seriously. Overweight people are overweight... it's simple as that. Some are trouble by it, others aren't. Only a problem if it's made out to be one.

Heh... and saying it's some sort of mental illness doesn't really make anybody take this guy's opinion into high regard, not anybody intelligent anyway =)

It isn't the actual content of the post that gets me so much as its existence... and all the 'yeah, you tell 'em!' responses below. Yet more evidence that there's millions of people in the world that hate me without even knowing anything about me, simply because I'm not shaped the way they've decided I should be.

Heh... yeah. Not really being overweight myself, I can't take too much offense at that post. But it's not only incredibly stupid, it's being heralded as an intelligent, thoughtful post. Such things can't be allowed. Thus my post in his thread =)
