Being obese is rude.

Not at all

Suppression of thoughts you don't want to hear, which is pretty abhorrent.

No, its not.

Yes it is.

Im literally unable to suppress thoughts of other people.

You are failing miserably at this.

Go to bed.

As they are responses to two different topics and my quote was in reference to one person not a group of people I don't see how. Nice try though. Your argument about people with weight issues(not just obese) not needing help is bizarre. Even more so getting offended when folk point out weight issues.

When you ask a person about their weight, you are asking an individual, not a group of people. Nice try though. And I didnt say they didnt need help. Ive repeatedly said what you are offering isnt needed or helpful. Again, Im saying you arent helpful. If you didnt overvalue your own importance as much as you do, you would see just because I say you arent helpful doesnt mean that there isnt any help.

Youve repeatedly told me to stop posting. If anything, you are the suppressor of thought. You and the other guy are free to be as rude as you would like. Im simply disillusioning you of the importance you think you have.

Not to someone who doesn't want to help themselves by the look of it but again just because YOU think my advice isn't helpful doesn't mean others don't. You can repeat your opinion all you want as it changes nothing. People with weight issues shouldn't get offended when folk point out the issues they have if they refuse to fix it. If they are working on fixing it then offence shouldn't be taken too as they are turning a negative into a positive.

How do you know they havent tried the advice you are about to offer?

Its also smart to delete the first part of my post because you see how you contradict yourself. Good move.

Nah, I've told you your thoughts are dumb, and I'm quite happy to keep telling you that as long as you keep saying it.

Research is normally done by conversation. This includes asking questions sometimes. Questions that sometimes involve someones weight.

Nah. It just wasn't worth responding to.

Do you start off the research by saying You are gross and I can make you not gross. Or are you dishonest about your feelings of them?

Yes. That's my favourite chat up line.

Right, you dont say it because its rude and off putting. Even if you dont say those words, your attitude is surely evident.

Thats why going back to my original point I was making to poor Leet, whos topic was hijacked by people trying to prove their point instead of helping him understand social context like he wanted to, Because people who would ask random strangers their weight arent being helpful and are almost always judgmental idiots seeking to stroke their ego, much like you and Kyuubi.

The attitude that people with weight issues should get help? The attitude that people will always judge others as it's human nature? The attitude that people should have thicker skin rather than get offended by simple questions? Sure. You got me.

I agree I am proving a point. People shouldn't be offended for simple questions and getting help with weight issues is for the best. I'm happy I've made that clear for you.

I didnt respond to you. I quoted you and then specifically said Leets name. Your post was an example. Go back and read it. I specifically talk to Leet while referring to you in the third person. Im happy Ive made that clear for you.

That sure told me...

You can get away with saying anything where I work as long as you aren't within ear shot of guests. I have heard a lot of raunchy things but I don't say much myself, I'm one of the most prudish there

Again, I was explaining to Leet, a person who misses social cues, why it is considered rude.

Irony.

Irony.

You dont understand what irony is. Leet came in and asked a specific question about a circumstance he had encountered. He talks about how it is hard for him to pick up on those cues because of his diagnosis. I didnt find a random stranger and interject myself into their life.

Seems like you follow me from topic to topic. I mean, I can understand you are clearly a big fan of mine, but your obsession for me is weird at this point.

It is getting tiresome and boring when the user is adding nothing of value to the topic. Back on topic though I don't think Leet even has a issue as he and his colleague are ok talking about these things with each other. More people should be like that and less sensitive.
