it was posted in a comment by someone and it not only scared me into getting the vaccine, it also made me sit, mouth agape wondering just what the freak I had clicked on.


Another Person who does not think for themselves. Scared onto something by pictures and testimony that can be clearly more than equaled on the other side of that argument.
I feel every sorry for People who can't think for themselves from their own information they research.

Turning the subject to fat is a really BIg LOL!

Well they are a burden to everyone.


If you are human and have lived more than a few years, in some way you are always a burden to someone else and someone is a burden to you. Personally I think this is the thing that most brings closeness.

So, still don' understand.

Is it bad to be a fat person or is it like, none of anyone's business?

Asking for a fatty-fat-fat.

Man, people really took this hard, it's almost like they don't realize all the chatter and some happenings of refusal of medical services for the unvaxxed at this very moment.

Or the bias and judgement that resides in every man, comedy would literally not exist without it.

People make fun of stereotypes, because people do reside within them, however it doesn't generally mean that everone who looks that way fits the mold.

You show me someone that doesn't have preconceived notions based on appearance and i'll show you a liar. Those notions are sometimes right and sometimes wrong, but due to the need for our personal time we still assume the case until forced into a situation where that must be overcome. Rich,poor,fat,bald,lisps,scars,tatoos,a certain color or demographic, style or lack of, get judged by everyone every day, people's lives and livelihood's depend upon it.

I think people are not looking at this through the eye's of current times, some took it too personal too quick. Not to say some of it was not in bad taste, but I sense that was a failed attempt at making it light hearted.

This post was facetious. I was an obese child and endured a lot of bullying for example when my grandmother died everyone said she died because I was so fat I sat on her and killed her. It was merciless and it continued even after I lost the weight. I am sorry so many people can't understand a facetious thread.

It's everyone's business when it is such a burden on our healthcare heroes. They have enough to deal with and don't need these people who are choosing to eat themselves to death clogging up the hospital systems and their time.


This was a facetious post. I'm sorry I offended so many people I thought someone would understand it in the current climate of government overreach and vaccine mandates.

What we need is not acceptance. We need abhorrence.

So...anyone who doesn't fit your mold should be treated like sh**.

Got it.




HA! NO! That's not what they said at all. Get a clue. You completely missed the entire point of the post. Or more accurately, all the points; because there are several.

It was a facetious post. I thought the anti-vaxx mocking dead people site was disgusting so I figured what was good for the goose is good for the gander.

You might have been able to pull it off with only the OP, but then to follow it up with two more posts which looked perfectly serious to me...well...

It looked to me like you didn't get the response you expected initially and then said it was just a joke to save the embarrassment.

There's that time you walk across your yard in your bare feet and step in a warm one. It's called stepping in "doo-doo". We've probably all done it at least once.

Don't beat yourself up too much over it.

People should be free to do what they want as long as it doesn't infringe upon the rights of another individual.

Wait...WHAT?

So now DB 'gets' what? Earlier you said fat people infringe on the rights of others by the burden they place on the medical system, and now you're agreeing with DB because he says (in as many words)...it's okay as long as they die fat and alone with no care?

C'mon man, make up your frigging mind!!!

If you thought this


Well they are a burden to everyone. Health care systems, fellow buffet-goers. This is a public health emergency. Hundreds of thousands of people in America die each year from obesity related causes. All they have to do is follow the nutritional guidelines set forth by the government and the serving size indicated on the package by the manufacturer, but somehow they are incapable of taking simple steps to protect themselves. This is where private businesses can come in and say "no. If you want to disregard everyone's safety, you may not patronize my business" and health insurers and providers should definitely raise rates and refuse service to those who can't just go along with normal society and follow the rules


Was a serious comment I don't know what to say. I didn't step in anything. Thanks for assuming what my intent was and judging me based on your own thoughts of my intent was. I really LOATHE judgemental people. Also I responded to someone that I was going to call Bill gates because he'll be excited we can start talking about death panels. How would that NOT be a joke. I didn't just say it was a joke to save face it was a joke and nobody seems to see the correlation between personal choice as it relates to vaccine mandates and shaming dead people online for their personal vaccine choices and the way we are not even allowed to mention weight which is a serious health issue, a killer of hundreds of thousands of Americans each year or the snowflakes attack.

What are you even talking about? Obviously you don't get the joke. That is not what I said at all and you are free to leave this thread since it offends you so much. Why did you come back?

Question: Step back out of your mindset when you wrote that, and read it cold.

How could anyone possibly see it any differently than your literal words???

I'm not judging you on anything other than what you wrote.

You're not reinforcing your point here.

I left the thread alone until you stepped in "it" AGAIN!

Now you're trying to pan your OP as a joke. Show me one single part of your OP that any anonymous reader would clearly see as a joke...just one!

You stepped in it; now just admit it and we can move on.

Personally, I think it needs to be read as a whole to understand their motives. Bringing the vax debate up was no accident, it set the tone. Imo

If we're going to shame people for being unvaxxed then certainly we should obesity. It is the elephant in the room noone is discussing as it pertains to covid.
