The sound of 300 pounds of lard banging against the wall...

Don't hide behind an excuse for your thread title you fatist fucker. "i'm sorry! I didn't realise I gassed all those Jews!"

I'm sorry, you can't make the statement that you're not weightist after that thread header. That was a casual insult, delivered without thought of the offence it may cause. Simply put, you cannot attack someone on those grounds unless you're prepared to stick to your guns and say "I fucking hate fat people, they revolt me". If, as I gather, your problem is more with the noisy sex then fine, that's annoying. But you can't shrug off discrimination like that with a simple "I was trying to get peoples attention". Tolerance is not selective, accept, or don't. Or possibly grow the fuck up.

I've just been drawn to this thread as I've been woken up at 5am in the morning by one of my housemates moaning somewhat too loudly.

I think Gilded... has a point in that obesity is one of the largest problems we face in society today. There is a precisely defined medical cut off line for obesity and any person who is clinically overweight should learn the following- firstly how to develop a healthy mindset so that they may deal with scenarios which may bring their obesity and body image into question; secondly, how to actually combat their obesity (if you are clinically obese this is NOT a healthy body state and you may be shortening your lifespan considerably); thirdly the consequences you have on other people, most importantly your children if you have any. If an obese parent is lazy enough to instill the same attitude towards food in their children they are effectively destroying their own child's life.
In summary, if you are clinically obese, DON'T try and pretend it's fine and dandy by accusing people who raise the issue of insensitivity.
If you're not and you think you're fat, listen to the men in your life who say that you're not. They are right when they say you are beautiful.

Back on topic, while I was writing this comment (accompanied by the oh so disgusting sounds of my housemate in the next room), said housemate's parents came over to visit. They were let into the house and came straight up to her room. Suffice to say that the words "This is your mother. Your father, grandmother and I shall be waiting downstairs for you" have probably scarred her for life!

Also, issue sorted!

I am really disappointed this thread title wasn't literal. I've dropped 50 lb. bricks of lard onto tile floors before and it makes the most fascinating SCHLOPPPP sound. So I thought, 'Wow, this will be a great description! Three-HUNDRED pounds of lard, hurled with enough velocity to hit a wall. That sound's gotta be EPIC!"

I don't care about others' weight, it's none of my business. And I find hearing roommates' sex, while not exciting, revealing and somewhat entertaining. For example, once my roommate was fucking a waitress in the next room over (he went through waitresses pretty fast and soon ran out of breakfast joints). She kept yelling "I LOVE YOU!!!" and he shouted back "I KNOW!"

God, being fat isn't as destructive as some other bad habits, like smoking or being an asshole.

This j0n sounds like a pleasant, helpful guy.

he went through waitresses pretty fast and soon ran out of breakfast joints

This is a story in and of itself, clearly.

(he went through waitresses pretty fast and soon ran out of breakfast joints)

^^^worse than running out of strip clubs.

Another weird note: Last night she was screaming at the top of her lungs: "FUCK YOU MCFLY!" Are they doing some sort of Back to the Future roleplaying thing???
