@SimonPeach:

I understand the Gaston Ramirez to #SaintsFC transfer is almost done. Just about getting it over the line now (easier said than done, eh?)
 
I think it's disgusting that certain terms of abuse are accepted in this world! I wonder if you put a black person up and called him all the names under the sun it would be acceptable.To call a fellow human disgusting because of his weight is dispicable.
 
i read some italian report that said the deal was agreed at 2.5m euros per year which works out at just over £42k p/w, couldnt say if it was true or not but sounds like its in the right ball park. Certainly a higher wage than Rickie and Ad's on 30k p/w.

I think it's called banter and a lot of people in this world need to develop a thick skin and get over little things like that.
 
You don't choose to be black or white. You do choose to be that fat.
The general view is that you don't criticise people for things over which they have no control, but that it's ok to do so based on people's choices.

Oh yes the good old it's only banter excuse.If you have ever been insulted in your life i should imagine you have always shrugged it off as banter.Too much abusive stuff is wrote and then just shrugged off as banter well i'm sorry i don't fall for that kind of bullshit explanation.

It's ignorant to say it's the same as racism. People choose to be fat as in they choose to consume more calories than they burn. I don't want to sound insensitive, but those are facts.

It's verbal abuse no matter how you look at it.Whether it's being racist,fattist,big noserist,big earist or gingerist.It's all abuse.

Yes, I do shrugg it off as banter, that's what it is said as, that is how it is taken. Who are you to laugh at if you can't laugh at yourself?
 
Are you calling my comment ignorant? I thought you were the moral guardian against insults?
Sorry, but the attitude that obesity is somehow not the responsibility of the individual is exactly the problem. Everyone these days absolves themselves from responsibility for their actions and circumstances, and at the same time has a huge sense of entitlement.
