You think it is right to ridicule people? Where is that Picard face palm picture when you need it? You do realize that by ridiculing people for being obese, you just make them feel worse about themselves and push them AWAY from getting the help that they need? It was people like you that made me hate myself and fall into a deep, deep depression that I wallowed in for years. What do you get out of ridiculing people? Does it get you off to feel superior to these people?
As I said previously, I am now going around the province (well two provinces... I've been going through Nova Scotia as well as Ontario) and visiting chapters of people wanting to lose weight. And I hear the stories from people where they tell me that their self worth is in the toilet and sometimes they don't want to leave the house and face the world. It's heartbreaking. And I'm there to give them a pat on the back, give them encouragement and applaud their efforts to lose the weight. One word of encouragement is infinitely more helpful than your scorn.
It's my opinion that the only people that should "rightfully be ridiculed" are those that willfully cause suffering of others for their own twisted pleasure. Which is what I have seen in this thread, in the funny pictures thread, and every day out on the street. If I had a nickel for every time I was called a "pig"... what does that even do for you? Does it make you feel like a man to ridicule people? I just don't get it.
