You say that someone who is balding deserves sympathy while someone who battles with their weight and struggles with weight loss, for a number of reasons, not because they are lazy but because it is difficult, people are biologically not designed to lose massive amounts of weight and no one would like to go to out and have someone think that it is okay to ridicule them because of their weight. Also what purpose does it serve - does ruining someone's day make you feel like you are a better person?
The fact that you have more empathy for short, bald people than you do for someone who is obese shows me exactly what type of person you are, someone whose I doubt many people here would like to spend time around.
