RANTING- not for the easily offended

leaving now because people are clearly getting touchy and I cannot stand babies

Well this is ironic.

I just call them stick people. Honestly, though, I think some fat people have been tormented all their lives by skinny people, so I don't feel too badly if they occasionially need to retaliate. Basically, we all just need to be nice to each other - don't know who said it but "Always be Kinder than is Necessary, Becaue Every One we Meet is Fighting Some Kind of Battle".

This is not even all about that post. As i said it;s about people calling MY FRIENDS anorexic
so thanks:D

That's just jealousy of the person who is calling them anorexic maybe

exactly. it's offensive and could be very offensive to actual anorexic people

Yeah it could be, anorexic people already have issues (don't really know how to put that lighty) but also from my earlier post I wanted to apologize, I completely read what you were saying wrong lol

Your post was more offensive to me (as a person who is recovering from an eating disorder) than what you were ranting about.

LOL,

I went out to dinner with some friends the other night, (Texas Roadhouse) I ordered a salad and said 'no thank you' to the cinnamon butter, so my ex boyfriend told the other people there that I was on a diet, and had already lost 8 lbs.
I said I was going to lose 20 more. The other friends were shocked,and he, shocked as well, exclaimed "Why do you wanna look anorexic?!"

I thought it was funny. Not a big deal, I'm obviously not.

your talking about people using the word anorexic and hurtig your friends feelings how do you think it makes people on a weight loss site feel when you use the word FAT in the way you did it was clearly meant as a insult to those people calling your friends anorexic so you clearly think little of overweight people ,,,, i just dont understand how you can be soooo against name calling and then do it yourself within the same post

it is class-less ):

It annoys me too. I also hate when people add "-orexic" to the end of things and make up words. It takes away from the fact that anorexia is a serious mental illness that people die from, it's not being skinny or not eating enough.

HOW THE HELL is me trying to say calling someone anorexic is not a good thing to do especiially if you don't know them

Imgaine that! I thought your post was so positive and uplifting. Wow... some people......:flowerforyou:

Little hint: This is a public site with people with varying degrees of weight issues. A rant that ends with calling people fat will cause a surplus of negative reactions. You are entitled to your opinion and to express it but there are better ways in doing so. Better luck next time.

But the way you went about saying it was rude and demeaning. You could have come in here been calm, cool, and collected, explained yourself well in a polite way, and gotten a much different response.

Rudeness is offensive. Also, being anorexic isn't "bad name" it's not the most insulting thing to call a person. Do you think so very lowly of people with eating disorders that you find the thought of it OFFENSIVE? Interesting fact, we're people, just like you. We have a condition/disease/disorder, but we're people don't, don't make it sound like we have the freaking plague.

Then you should know better than to use the word FAT in a derogartory way especially when usuing it to support your argument that name calling isnt right wether someone is using the word anorexic or fat if its used to put others down its just wrong

I just think overweight people call skinnier people anorexic becuase they're jealous and in comparison to them they are really really skinny....

Just because someone is overweight doesn't mean they can call everyone thats thin anorexic. '-'

You can't be so blind that you don't see calling someone fat is just as bad as calling someone anorexic. You are now exactly the kind of person you are ranting about.
