    We're laughing with, not at.

    Yes, you are right. It was just a joke. It was a joke to all of you. It is not a joke to the obese/overweight person that is that way because they are not educated on nutrition. It was a legitamate question for them. Some thing they never realized they would be made fun of for asking. You all are grown *kitten* people that find pleasure in making fun of people. Bullies aren't just kids... they grow up to be adults that go on thinking making fun of people is "just a joke".

    I complete agree, except you are missing the point... The person that started this thread was the one having fun, and well done to you for falling for it... :drinker:

    Wow, do you find any joy in ANYTHING? Are you telling me you've never taken the piss out of a friend who said something daft? It's not important what is said, it is the intent that matters. And no one here means any ill so unbunch your panties sweetheart

    Yes, I know that the OP was not really asking this question. It was posted to make fun of the people that ask, what you all feel are stupid, questions about water intake.

    Again.. making fun of other people is what you find fun and amusing. Carry on so you can feel better about yourself. That is fine. My panties are not in a bunch and don't call me sweetheart.

    Did you personally talk to the person that started this thread and ask if they were upset by people's posts? If a thread is started in fun, the intention is to make people smile. No one is intentionally commenting to hurt anyone's feelings. You, however, are intentionally pooping on the party.

    I don't know why I'm engaging you, you joyless curmudgeon, but 'making fun' of someone is NOT the same as bullying them and you shouldn't be so cavalier the use of that word. Bullying is a campaign of abuse not a few jokes aimed at no particular person.

    I bet you get offended a lot don't you?

    Do you feel better about yourself yet? Like you've done your part to make the world a better place? I sure hope so. (Give yourself a gold star from me for your efforts.)

    Meanwhile, people are probably going to continue posting things that they find humorous in this particular section of MFP. Much of it will probably be related to "serious questions" they have noticed in the other sections. You might consider avoiding this section if that type of humor bothers you.

    Or alternatively, you can report the posts and expedite their inevitable demise. That seems to be the MFP norm.

    So please make sure when one of your kids comes to you and says that kids are making fun of them, you tell your kid.... hey it is all in fun. Tell your kid that being made fun of is actually humorous.

    What a dumb question... Why would you even need to ask!? OF COURSE you can count it toward your daily water intake. Why wouldn't you be able to? Durrrr.

    You know what? I will. I'll make sure it wasn't nasty or hurtful and then teach them that a bit of gentle ribbing is part of how humans bond. I'll do this because I don't want them to grow up like you.

    You say that as if I haven't already had to deal with this with my children...as if I haven't taught my children the distinction between "good fun" and "bullying", between "making fun of someone" and "finding humor in everyday life". But I've also taught them that "appropriateness" and "humor" are not dependent on the other, only that they need to consider their audience. (As somewhat of an example, I do not allow any swearing whatsoever in my house. I don't do it, and I don't let my kids do it. However, if they have a joke that needs a curse word to be funny, and they believe it is significantly funny enough to justify use of the word, I won't punish them for it. But I do remind them to consider carefully if they are certain of the funny level.)

    But don't let that stop you from your own righteous crusade. We all have battles that we believe are worth fighting. This is clearly one of yours.

    Just some thoughts if things like this bother you so badly:

    1. Stay away from the posts that you're tired of seeing. You don't read them, you don't get upset.

    2. As suggested before by jofjltncb6: "You might consider avoiding this section if that type of humor bothers you".

    3. If someone had a legitimate question, most people in the MFP community are pretty supportive and will genuinely want to help and will answer accordingly. The poster will also post in a different section than this one.

    4. No one is making fun of the original poster. Making fun and joining the fun are two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT things.

    5. "What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul" ~Yiddish Proverb

    6. You're far too serious, try smiling a little more.

    I do stay away from the posts, I do not feel compelled to make a comment to make somebody feel stupid. I am not a very serious person and I smile a lot. I am not on a righteous crusade and I find joy in lots of stuff. I have a great sense of humor but I don't feel the need to be humorous at the expense of other peoples feelings. To me, that is not funny. To me, humor is funny and not hurtful. Basically you all are saying that as long as it is funny to you, who cares who it hurts. Whatever makes you feel good about yourself.

    For example, when my dyslexia kicks in and this guy says "or rampant even" I laugh. I could get all butt sore, but I happen to have a sense of humor, for things like that I generally say "you're just lucky I tossed in some vowels." On the other hand someone who knows I'm dyxlexic and gets butt hurt over such things could come back in attack him for going after the girl with the disability . . . ffs, it's all in good fun. Now if he said "you're dumb and you can spell for **** what are you even doing on the interwebz" he and I may have a discussion about that (but now that I put it out there when he does say that to me this or next week I'll laugh my *kitten* off).

    Context is everything. I'd also like to point out that sometimes when you're the only one with a problem it may not be a bad idea to consider that you are the problem.

    Please do me a favor, give me 1 TV show and 1 Movie that you find humorous.

    Personally I like Monty Python, and if you take this particular situation and liken it to Monty Python . . . well then anyone who doesn't walk like a model should definitely be offended by the funny walk skit. Humor is the extrapolation of reality.

    You've completely missed the point. There was never any humour at the expense of anyone here. You appear to be the one and only person in this thread that is bothered by it.

    But you must be right... We're all insensitive a-holes and you're the only one with a conscience.

    When I saw the original post for this thread, I started laughing. The responses, up until the thread derailed, were hilarious.

    I had no idea that this was in response to another thread that is currently in flight... maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. But just pretend for a moment that it wasn't. The content in the post and responses is hilarious!

    If you want to assume the worst, then it makes all those who played in response into mean spiteful bullies, instead of people who are taking things we deal with in the day to day, and putting a humor spin into it.

    I personally have asked stupid questions... they weren't stupid when I asked them, but now that I know better, the seem that way to me - and hence I find excessive humor in playing with it.

    No harm meant here on my part...

    OH and SecretLobster.. again, you almost made water come out my nose! Thankfully I managed to keep it in, or else I would have had to negatively adjust my intake!

    I drink vodka water all the time. The vodka purifies the water and makes it antibacterial as well.
