GUEST,Desdemona BS: Obesity out of control (60* d) RE: BS: Obesity out of control 15 Aug 06


Wow.

I have to say that I'm always taken aback by the vituperative hostility (or is it fear, "there but for the grace of God," etc.?) aroused by the very sight or, as in "Guest"'s post above, existence of overweight people. I just can't help but wonder what could be the source of such an unwarranted and seemingly furious reaction to the appearance of total strangers with whom one is apparently unconnected...the armchair psychologist in me can't help but wonder what unhappy personal associations a person like "Guest" must have, and whether their time might not be better spent on working on those issues, rather than viciously attacking people who are, presumably, suffering as a result of their physical condition than he or she is? And before he or she even tries it on, I'll tell you that I'm 5'4" and weigh about 120 lbs, so I'm not "defending" my right to be a "monster" with a "huge ass and/or gut", although if I did have them I'd be bound to say it was no damned business of anyone else's!

Why so threatened, hmmm?
