Overweight 'should be protected'

Kris

my point was replace fat/thin with black/White or White/black

either way you'd end up with very racist statements

clearly if you go to a party and their are two women there i would expect you to chat up the one you find attractive and not chat up the other. it.

what's wrong with just talking to people just to have a conversation where you perhaps might learn something or share a joke? do people really go to social gatherings with 'i will only talk to attractive women i want to fuck' as their mantra?

I do this

I do this

getting any? i'm thinking of changing my approach

So am I

What if your fat, just from drinking beer..??

Paying taxes... to fund the NHS. That's public spirited ...

Ha!

Therefore if word association gives a clue to one's inner self, then here are some words I associate together.

Svelte - Frail
Curvaceous - Strong

This my be insightful to any of you budding Jungs.

To sum up, you have your personal preferences (which is fine), but certain associations you make can be proven dangerous.

fat - funny
skinny - sorrow
young - stupid
old - wise
ginger - sneaky
Jewish - greedy
Asian - terrorist
Saffa - loud
Aussie - drunk
Scouse - thief
Black - drug dealer
Polish - the whole reason the UK is fucked up

more?

To get to the point, I can't imagine, that as a Black person you were never just a little bit disappointed, that White people who go to a fancy dress party often don an afro wing for a comical effect. What is fucking comical about curly hair? Nothing. Yet people do this... Strange, isn't it?

Stereotypes - dem bad. We need them, because of human drive to categorise everything around. Categorising is what drives our brains, but then it's just a foundation of our knowledge.

To be fair, your Saffa and Aussie ones are spot on...

Nope

Dale does not drink

corny is louder than Jesus

Dale is a secret Kiwi.

Iain is louder than everything.

corny is louder than Jesus

is he a drug dealer? he does a lot of travel to hot countries.

I never knew ginger haired people were sneaky. Better watch those buggers in future!

I like the "old" one. I've never thought of myself as funny though and indeed find my own obesity rather depressing.

It's hard to say what shape are we supposed to be, because it depends on many factors (ie. ethnic origin, cultural stereotypes, level of fitness etc.).

Not at all, it's perfectly reasonable to say that somebody should be any physical shape they like, unless it makes them unhappy and they want to change it.

You could also argue that clinically fat or thin people are endangering themselves purely by being at a certain weight.
But then again, people who smoke and drink are endangering themselves. Where do you draw the line?

What's it got to do with black people? never heard of Harry Enfield's Scousers? didn't you know that ALL people from liverpool have curly hair and moustaches?

Am I greedy?

Can we add "from themselves" to the title of this thread?

what like in case they fall on themselves and get stuck down there.........

leave them there

like turtles

Send the weak skinny ones to rescue them. I could watch that for hours.

Like ants moving a crisp - fascinating!

I've got mental images of all those people on Wall-e!
