You forgot two others:

4. Push your fat ass away from the table after the first helping, and;

5. Dessert is not a requirement with every meal.

Yay! After much hinting and anticipation, the "fatties are dumb, thinness is simple" thread is back!

It's almost as certain as death and taxes, and, apparently, as irresistible as a ho-ho.

Is it ironic to use the "word" ameliorization* in a post about feeling superior because of your better education?









*Amelioration is the act of making something better. Is ameliorization is the act of Snoop Dogg making something better?

Do both, and you've covered all bases.

You still have not addressed the issue of education leading to decreasing numbers of fat people and thus decreasing opportunities to feel superior.

And apparently so is the post commenting on the frequency of "fat people suck" posts.

Actually, if you bothered to bore yourself with the rest of the thread, I was quite sympathetic.

Feeling superior over fat people because you are thin and they are not is pure and visceral.

Feeling superior over fat people by recognizing the economic, cultural, and educational obstacles that might have led to their obesity and helping them to overcome those obstacles is an extremely roundabout, indirect, and boring way of feeling superior.

In an homage to str8's best post ever, I present you with some FB Math

Over the hill prancy hipsters who dress in these


Plus this

"Feeling superior over fat people because you are thin and they are not is pure and visceral.

I saw these guys live a while ago, opening for somebody else. I thought they rocked the house.

And how much did you pay for the t-shirt? Without the t-shirt, there's no chance I'm gonna believe that you were there, that you heard of them first.

Attempts at such education invariably lead to resentment among the educatees, a resulting resistance to the new knowledge, and increasing fatness just to show they don't have to listen.

It's all good.

In quoting you I was not blaming you. But since I have you, does that sympathy makes you feel superior, or would it do so only if it inspired altruism ("free broccoli for everyone!")?

Listen, pally, I afford my rock and roll lifestyle the old fashion way. By whoring myself out to corporate America. Mummy and Daddy Flower never set up a trust fund, so I'm stuck with this motherfucking job if I am going to continue to afford to be able to see shows. Going to cooler shows before everyone else is all I got going for me.

No, no. The sympathy makes him feel superior to the PLFs of the world on this subject. Caring nurturer vs. fat bashers.

As is the commentary on posts whose subject is the recurring subjects of other posts.

Is this our cue to protest?
