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

Very funny thread.

I am also kind of lost as to why the weight of this guy's girlfriend was even mentioned. It doesn't lend your argument any weight and it makes you sound like an asshole who deserves to be annoyed (which you very well may be).

second para spot on. (although, nb, i dont think yancey is an asshole.)

james, this is sub-trifeian at best.

It's a nuisance more than anything. I'm not really pissed off about it. It's a bit annoying, but also funny. I'm not home very much, so I've been avoiding dealing with it, hoping it would just somehow go away.

As to the weight thing: Yeah, it was crude of me to mention (the thread title was supposed to be a grabber more than anything), but I wanted to mention this weird thing they have with food (all the junk food I found her with one night and the completely strange cooking thing they were doing earlier this week). The weight wasn't neccessary for that, but I thought it was an entertaining addition. Anyway, sorry to those who I offended with that. I'm no weightist, promise!

Yes they are annoying. Why make an issue of the girls weight other than to compound your point? Because you are seeking to use prejudice as a way to re-enforce your arguement.

The Fruit Loops/Ice Cream/Oreos image suggests this might be the case, and in which case FUCKING GROSS.

This thread gets funnier.

i do have to admire the fact that you're at least honest about your prejudice and don't try to disguise it as some "concern for the health and wellfare of the obese" bullshit.

if you're going to come in and attempt (consciously or otherwise) to alienate many of the regulars of this board, i suggest fucking right back off to whatever little whole of the internet you crawled out of.

haha so jess we doing this calvin klein shoot tomorrow or what?

So despises is a better word, Aaron? Perhaps loathes?

jess and alex are the only ones talking sense on this entire thread.

Visually/aesthetically obesity can be unattractive. It's wrong (or presumptuous) to blame the fat person for being fat, however, and then to hold it against him. But if I note an attitude of carelessness on that person's part with regard to the weight problem, I will find it unbecoming in the same way I find a person's abuse of drugs unbecoming. Lazy, reckless, indulgent behavior. But ultimately just a character flaw like any other, not some sort of damanble offense.

Second: He hears the slapping which I assume is caused by the sex act itself and not ass-slapping over the course of this. But in either case this slapping noise would be louder with a heavier person, again adding to the annoyance factor.

In other words, I don't think we should just be like "fuck fucking fatties dumb fat fucks" (/cartman) but y'know there was actually some relevance to this information.

Making too much noise doing anything in shared accomodation *is* rude if it's in the middle of the night - sex is no exception. I think there's an added thrill of faux-illicitness in trying to keep it quiet, anyway, but my tastes don't run to "FUCK YOU MCFLY!"

I'm with Jess and Alex on the fat thing, generally. Anti-fat prejudice does not however equate to the holocaust - I wish people would think before posting stuff like that cos it's waving a big sign around saying "HEY EVERYONE DONT TAKE ME SERIOUSLY!". Mind you that's what Ian, Aaron etc. have been doing too, so fair's fair.

Ipso Fatso

nobody got cancer

QED!

Not that they aren't gross...

In any case, second hand smoke is overblown, I already said I was OUTSIDE, and as such only making myself less healthy.

SO. She's a fatass, and should be treated as such.

Fat people nowadays somehow trying to ride the coattails of actual minority groups to make themselves feel good about their fattness disgusts me even more than seeing them teach their children to be fat.
Does that sentence need a semicolon?
THEY SHOULD NOT FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEIR PHYSICAL SELVES. Unless they've actually stuck to a prescribed dietery plan given to them by a physician, exercised, and somehow were still unable to lose weight.

Why, because it just came out of your colon?

Hahahahahahahahahaha.

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???
