    I think there is a serious sense of humour failure from lots of people on this site. some take everything literally.

    they're probably hungry!

    LOL. THIS!^^

    I don't know you and didn't have to check out your profile to realize that your posting was a joke. When I joined in October I loved that you could share information freely with one another. I've posted my share of questions, fitness related and other stuff...you have to take the information that is useful to you, I've gotten my share of smart *kitten* replies but really a comment from someone I don't know is hardly anything to get upset about, I guess someone people can laugh it off easier. Sorry that people attacked you for what was obviously a joke.

    I think women SHOULD stop posting cleavage pics. They should post completely nude pics instead..... JUST KIDDING FOLKS! And yeah, there are some haters in any forum no matter what the forum focus. Ignore them. They'll never go away but you can always ignore them......

    NUDE PIX?!?!?!? REPORTED!!!!

    Now you've gone and done it...... You need to edit your post and add 150 smiley faces and a bunch of LOLs and stuff. I used to hang out at a forum where because of nobody ever understanding sarcasm of a couple of us, we'd post all sarcasm in 18 point fonts in bright red color......

  • There are some serious haters on this website, but try not to let them get to you! I did read your forum, found it funny, but did not actually comment, nor was I offended. Like another person wrote earlier, they definitely need to get the stick out of their *kitten*! If they don't like it, they need to stay off the community board that states CHIT-CHAT, FUN AND GAMES and go write stuff on their own page!

    You know what frosts my mini-wheats? When someone says they have a right to their opinion, then blasts someone else for posting their contrary opinion.

    Everyone has a right to say what they want (within the TOS of this site), and everyone else has the same right to disagree.

    Don't blame on hatred what can easily be explained by stupidity.

    I think there is a serious sense of humour failure from lots of people on this site. some take everything literally.

    A lot of people on this site are using this site for many reasons:
    1. losing weight & getting healthy is a life or death situation for them due to their bp. diabetes, etc.,.
    2. don't like the way they feel & want to prevent future health problems
    3. don't like the way the person they see in the mirror looks
    4. self-esteem issues
    Plus many more reasons...
    Either way, they don't feel that this site should be a place for humor, cleavage pictures, etc.,.

    My suggestion is that before you post something that is supposed to be funny, you a disclaimer on the top in BIG letters so people know not to take the post seriously, just like you did with your LL Cool J profile picture.

    But that would have spoiled the fun! :sad:

    Good points...but this is the "Chit-chat, FUN, and Games" forum...people should realize that many of the threads in this particular area of MFP are not necessarily fitness related. And, if people open a topic and realize that they don't like it, there's really no need to post in it. Nor is there any real need to try and make others feel bad or inferior in those threads for trying to have a little fun. Weight loss is hard...we all know that. But it CAN be fun, given the right circumstances.

    Thanks for all the nice comments. I do appreciate them, but it sincerely isn't the purpose of this thread. Also, I am not looking to change anyone's opinion of me, cleavage, bikinis, exercise calories, etc. etc. What I would like people to think about is how they act on their opinions. Debate not hate.
  • I knew you were kidding, obviously lol No humor? Blasphemy!! I'd hate losing weight with a bunch of serious, grouchy people. I need some funnies after a crappy day!

    Not looking to break my arm patting myself on the back but I recognized and appreciated your intent immediately. Seriously, two sentences elicited 8 pages of half-naked women - that's Jedi-like.

    ignore the haters and move on.... Life is too short to dwell on the negative... PLUS, this is just a calorie counting website, nothing worth losing any sleep over...

    Clearly that was not the cleavage MFP was looking for...

    I thought it was funny too. Don't let it get to you. You put your disclaimer on your profile. I am sure a lot of people just didn't understand that you were joking.

    I know. I saw some of that mentality on the bikini thread, I didn't see your thread but I'm not surprised!

    I thought it was funny, and I personally love your profile pics, even if it is a hot celebrity. Sorry it for so out of hand. And where are those cleavage pics?

    WAIT A MINUTE!!!!! There's a thread around here with 8 pages of half naked women??? Please post a link as I somehow missed it.

    And so nobody misunderstands--- that's sarcasm right there.

    I didn't see the thread either but I would have taken it as a joke more than likely.......after all I haven''t seen many guys that didn't want to see cleavage, undie pics or etc......just sayin!!!!

    These people (the haters) just have to answer to themselves and God. I am so sorry that they all came down on you so hard. I live with a practical joker so I would have seen the

    Have a great evening!!!

    Because it inspires me to work harder on my abs.

    Some people need to be referred to a good proctologist to first remove the stick and secondly locate his/her head.

    Honestly, I think you like to dish it out but you can't take it. When you post something that provokes other members, what do you expect? Go cry somewhere else. I'd prefer this place not turn out like a youtube comment page.

    Did you change your profile? Because when I click on it, I can't see any info. Just the pic. Just a heads up :)
