Originally posted by SeitsePosts relating to weight, fat or obesity seem to attract a lot of instant thumbs down for some reason. Other far more objectionable topics are "passed over" at times with hardly so much as a nod.
Seriously. No offense meant. I honestly wish to
know. They're polluting our streets right now (there
must be some cruise docked today) and they're
louder than a trumpet, even more when they can't
figure out how to walk on ice or snow and their
enormous, wobbly bodies impact our poor, suffering
sidewalks.
Inquiring mind needs to know.

Originally posted by divegeesterI figured thumb downs was more related to stereotyping in OP. Oh, and just general, overall meanness.

Originally posted by FMFIt is interesting that you say that because one poster who made a disparaging comment about my OP in that thread recieved 7 thumbs up in a matter of minutes, so it seemed.
I would wonder whether or not several of the thumbs were from the same person but that isn't feasible as multiple accounts are a real no no. 😵
Thumbs up and down fly all the time and most don't mean much but occasionally one sees a pattern which is unusual and worth noting.

Originally posted by divegeesterI find this to be your most objectionable trait.

What you mean here is "far more objectionable" to you. Other people happen to have other opinions and yet you often hold people in pure contempt because they don't agree with you. I find myself thinking the same about you, the classic "why is he raising hell about that issue when "issue X" is far more important?"
I am an American. I find this stereotype about fat, obese Americans rude, and bordering on childish. I'm only 160cm tall and I would feel like a fat pig if I ever even hit 55kg. I've been to Wal-Mart, I've seen fat Americans. But this stereotype of the fat American drives me absolutely insane, maybe because it's just an example of other nasty remarks people have said here about Americans. There often seems to be plenty of hate here for Americans.
But my point here is that you cannot fathom other people having differing opinions. You even sometimes seem to take deep offense that their opinions are actually different. Almost as if it means that they have some sort of mental deficiency, or worse, that they must be evil. It's like you're running for office or something, trying to present some people as "having dangerous views". People are not "irrational", or even deserving of contempt, simply for holding disparate views.
