    Do you pick on fat people because you are skinny - and therefore it makes you feel better about yourself?

    It certainly would make Jungian sense...I KNOW that's why they pick on me.

    To whom was that directed?

    I pick on fat people because*
    -1. they're too fuckin lazy to keep themselves from getting fat
    -2. they're too fuckin lazy to lose the weight that they gained from being too fuckin lazy in the first place
    -3. obesity is not healthy
    -4. obesity is not healthy, and obese people know this, yet (refer to reason #1)
    I have no sympathy for those fat people.
    However, that doesn't mean I will be impolite or discourteous to an obese person.

    *this excludes people who are obese through no fault of their own (genetics, severe disability, etc.), however, they should be putting forth the effort to exercise and diet properly. This also excludes ANY obese person who actually does put forth an effort to exercise and diet properly.

    Do you despise smokers too? Smoking is unhealthy, and yet they continue to puff away.

    Usually if someone says something to me about it, yes they are fat.

    For the record, I actually do not pick on fat people to their face. Conversely I really don't give a shit what anybody thinks of me, but calling someone stuff in front of other people, then becomes a question of honour and yes I will then bite back very aggressively.

    Yes I don't like smokers. More of an apathy than despise.

    Being publically insulted to my face is tied to my honour.

    I don't despise smokers, I despise their habits. Only for cigarettes though.
    There is no cigarette smoking allowed in my house.

    Well, if fat people pick on you for being skinny, then I guess those fatties deserve it.

    Yup, that's my take on it.

    So, you don't despise cigar or pipe smokers?

    But if you call people names and insult them, you are just sinking to their level. All honour goes out the window.
    How is revenge for name calling ever good? What purpose does it serve?

    Revenge is a response to being wronged. Do you have another suggestion?

    Nope my Dad smoked a pipe(not crack) for about 2 months, if he stuck with it, instead of Rothman's king size...I would call him once a month, instead of once a year.

    Yes! walk away. sticks and stones...remember?
    Is this what we teach our children? "If someone is mean to you, you just be mean right back. Don't let anyone disrespect you"

    Why not rat them out to a higher authority? Why walk away?

    What is a Rothman's king size? And why is this so irritating?

    Revenge is served cold. Vengence is highly underrated. It preserves your own self respect, the event is nasty, however it is also complete with little thought to it afterward.

    I think it's one of those things where you have to be there...

    Quick version:

    "Boy are you skinny..."

    Girl are you fat."

    ----

    "Man, eat a burger..."
    "Borrow me one of your dozen for today..."

    ---

    "God Skinny people make me sick..."
    *COUGH* "Sorry - alergic to lard".
