208. Yes you are the offensive one.

And I think its more than understandable after your tirade of prejudice to get a little hot under the coller when its close to home.

And no, you are not qualified to pass judgement on someone based on their size. Just like my mom, and the millions of other people who have weight conditions that have nothing to do with being lazy. You aren't qualified to have judgemental snide attitudes about them. You're only responsibilty is to treat them with the same decency and respect that everyone else desevers, get off your high horse, stop your condecending attitude towards overweight people and think about your own attitudes for a while.

By the way, my statement still stands: You're problem is that you decide that YOU are qualified to pass judgment on other people. "Most people are fat because they're lazy bastards" that's what you say. But you're not qualified to make the judge and not only that but that's not true of many many people - so what gives you the right to have that attitude to anyone? Do you hand out questionnaires to overweight people before you engage them? Please answer the following: Are you overweight because of a medical condition, because of other complicated factors I might not be aware of, or because you are a lazy bastard? Then based on the response you decide how you are going to treat people.

I don't apologize for pointing out an obvious truism. You are, in lieu of any other description, acting like a total dick. That's the bottom line. And really, you can hem and haw and try to turn it around on me and my "judgmental" attitudes all you want, but there's really no escaping that fact. You're acting like a dick, and it'd be nice if you stopped.
