You’ve probably heard of white privilege – the term for the advantages that you automatically experience if you’re a white person. But have you heard of thin privilege? The first, most important thing to know about privilege is that just because you have it doesn’t mean that your life has been easy. Being thin or white doesn’t mean that you’re life *isn’t* hard. It’s just means that your body size or your skin colour isn’t making it any harder. You can be thin, white, rich and talented and still struggle. You could be poor, fat, Black, disabled and gay and still have a charmed life. But statistically it’s less likely. So, thin privilege. As you might be able to guess from the words ‘thin’ and ‘privilege’, it’s an expression for the benefits that come with being thin, or specifically, not being fat. Those benefits are things like being more likely to get hired (being obese is proven to impact on your ability to get hired), avoiding abuse from strangers, being able to fit comfortably on planes and trains without worrying about needing seat belt extenders or having to move the arm rest, and without panicking that someone will make a comment about your body.

Looking after yourself and not being a complete chubtard is now another thing for minority groups to beat you with. What on earth do fat people expect? If you interview two candidates for a job and one is of an average size but the other is morbidly obese it's not privilege that gets the thinner one the job its the fact that you know tubby will be taking more days off sick, will be the first to complain about their desk & chair, will then complain that their weight issues are actually a disability and will want free parking, will bitch and moan that the team fun day activities are discriminatory because they can't get their arse into a go-kart and to top it off they will eat all the mini pastries at the team meeting but only taking little dainty bites as if that stops them looking like an orca with fingers.

Thin privilege. Utter c.unts.
 
Anorexia is an awful mental and physically debilitating ailment.

I'm a big fan of The Carpenters and was very upset when Karen died from this in 1982/83 was it? The illness was brought on my a domineering and unloving mother and an incredibly manipulative and uncaring brother who was a complete ****. In fact is it just me but any time I see his fizzog on the tele it just screams out *****!!

Let's not forget Lena Zavaroni. And also let's not forget the fabulous ice cream her family made and still make in Rothesay. In fact this gives me an idea for a thread...

Yeah, that was tragic about Lena. Life can be so cruel at times.

What's the name of that fabulous ice cream manufacturer in Largs again, they have a wonderful restaurant. I would look it up on the interwebby but that's cheating, I like to use my noggin at all times.

Ah, Noggin The Nog indeed, that gives me an idea for a thread as well buddy!!
 
When I was a nipper I had a dream about Lena Zavaroni and Bonnie Langford. Had to do my own washing the next morning if you get my drift. From an early age I knew I wasn't a toe toucher, her affay Abba, the blonde one, had me watching Top of the Pops with a cushion on my lap.

You are thinking of Nardini's, buddy. Did the wop ****s not get done for tax evasion or something years ago?

That's it Nardini's!! Fantastical place.

Wouldn't surprise me as you cannot trust the greasy wops. I suspect they are distant relations of the subhuman darkie race to be honest, also not to be trusted. Not that I am racist or enjoy generalising and stereotyping about mutants but facts are facts really.

I'm sure there is a film that states that the Italians, or at least the Sicilians were spawned from ******s? Possibly Christopher Walken´s finest moment and so true (romance:emoticon-0136-giggl)also <ok>

That sounds about right. Thick as thieves all of them. Why can't the greasers and the coons just accept what they is, bwana?

Walken's finest moment was getting away with helping Robert Wagner murder Natalie Wood.
