Hey at least I'm not gay... although God knows I could catch it anyday now. What in the hell is wrong with people..do they really feel the way they post these things...?? I am so tired of seeing the stupidity and it really pis$es me off that I respond to such ignorance and not just once, hell no I spent half the night and went right back today to a stupid idiots post. I just can't seem to help myself. Is it just me or is idiocy running rampant here at mylot??

They just don't think. Or rather, they don't think like an educated person. They're too wrapped up in their own set view of the world and the fact that everything they think, believe, and say is right. And I feel badly for them, to look at the world through such narrowed eyes and with such glaring blinders on. They'll never see the world for how it is, and they'll never live a fulfilled life.

I agree, what a sad way to live, all wrapped up in your own little world.

Okay Mari, sit down put your hands on the edge of your desk and push yourself away from the computer. :) Now put your hands on your lap, put your thumb and index fingers together and repeat after me. OHmmmmmmmmmm I see a lot of post like that and just want to jump in and give them a shake, but found it hurts my point rating so I stopped doing it. :) Those people eventually realize that's not the best way to make money and friends here and they fade away or improve their discussions. And if your goal is to not 'CATCH' being gay good luck. :)

I'm in agreement with you- There are alot of really negative posts on here lately. I try to stay clear of them. Sometimes it doesn't work. Why do I care if certain people do not like heavy people?? If they do not like gay people? I don't care- I have no problems with any people.. People are people. I think people just post this gibberish to get more responses thinking they will get more money. So don't worry it drives the majority of us batty!

Like eeww, i don't know what you're complaining like about. I seem to like have in good authority that you're fat and like so stupid because your fat is like eeww, getting in your brain. A certain "babe" said so, and like of course, she being the skinny one (like i should think) i will believe her because you're like fat, and she's like eeww of you.LOL! Careful now, you never know when you might actually be infected by gays. I suggest that you dig a house in the ground and do not let anybody, as in anybody near you. That way, you will certainly be risk-free.!LOL Consider yourself lucky, even though you are supposed to be "slow thinkers", at least you can still think! I should think that malnutrition has seriously affected that particular poster's brains, lets just hope and pray that its not permanent. Then again maybe she doesn't even have any to begin with.LOL! Usually posters that wants to gain attention by infuriating everyone else doesn't last long here. Just wait and see. A few more idiotic post and that "babe" will be no more.=)

Hehe I almost peed my pants with eeww !!! I wonder if she will respond to any of it...lol The sad thing is I got the impression that she really believes it's that way and she was right to cut down on the womans food...lol That's what started me, and then I saw the others. What a piece of work.

Tell me about it. When i read her post, I thought she must be a complete idiot. And when I read her OTHER posts, my guess was confirmed, she IS really a moron. Her whole act stinks like a badly written script. If she's really like that in real life, then i pity those people who are around her. Had she been my relative, I'd disown her.

HAHAHAHA. I know it isn't a laughing matter Mari, but I love the way that you phrased it! "I could catch it anyday now." Ha! Yes, it appears that narscissism,egocentrism, and self-centeredness are all rampant at myLot and for that matter in our world. Sadly, I think some are posting so boldly not because they necessesarily belive as they post, they know it will ruffle the feathers of others and they will receive a large number of responses. In other words, they don't mind appearing that ignorant because hey, they'll earn a few cents for appearing that shallow! Others, even more sadly, likely DO have that shallow of thinking, to wish for everyone if the world to be the same size, same color, same religion, same thoughts, same ....God, how boring of a world that would be. I try to avoid those discussions, as I don't want to contribute to the greed of the first example, or attempt to penetrate the stupidity helmet of the second example! Happy myLotting, from a fat, WASP, Christian, redheaded, german descent friend! Sue me!

I am fat too, but I do not let that get the best of me. And do not tease homosexuals, a lot of my good friends are gay, and if it were not for them I do not know where I would be. I like homosexuals. I am not one, and I will not be one, but I respect them.

i think part of these people actually feel this way and part of these people are just doing it to make people respond and get all puffy. i mean, i started some controversal topics about gay marriage, doubting the bible, and smoking and got quite a bit of responses. i always stated my point but was always open for a good debate. when we feel passionate about something, then we can't help but speak our mind. i don't blame you, those type of posts grab my attention as well.

Yes it is. Why for example would you equate being gay to being fat. Fat you can diet you don't have to be that way you have a choice to be that way or lose weight. Gay.. you are born that way it is not a choice.. God made you that way.

Well, according to some people, since I'm both fat and gay, I have a lot working against me, so I should be thrown into prison or something.

I love your post, and I mean to applaud it now. I've seen some idiots on myLot but I try to avoid them like the plague. So far, I've actually seen more interesting conversations than not. Another disease you could catch is nationalism. How much of the myLot population is convinced that their country is the best? Often without even having been to any other country?

LOL I'm skinny and people use to make me eat more. At first I am offended but since the more I eat and yet they see that I didn't gain much weight, they feel ashamed being too big so they never say anything about it again. Those who love themselves the way they are, will not harass you about your weight and look. A relative of my husband is married to an adult magazine model. This person could have harassed me for being skinny and flat and yet the only thing she did was flirted with me LOL see what I mean?

Yes I see it as a sign of insecurity when people make fun of others. I think they do it to hide their own inadequacies.

i'm not really sure what the topic is here. is it a bash on gay people or overweight people. i'm not going to be stupid here and i'm going to say you're pissed at people who bash on overweight people. i think it's perfectly fine if you're overweight. i just hate it when people who are overweight complain about it and don't do anything about it. that pisses me off. if you're fine with it, all the more power to ya'.

Basically I'm venting about a person (not the first and I'm sure not the last) that posted discussions about Fat people, Gay people and People not speaking english being in mylot. Sorry if it threw you off. I just hate when people make idiotic, mindless, rude and bashing posts to intentionally hurt others. That's all...

I think those who like or enjoy so much to make such an meaningless discussions were simply proved to others on their immaturity and lack of educations in which we can sure that they wouldn't earns any credits at the end of the day. I hate to see those discussions and I had only once to responses to that kind of discussions in which I try to ask the one who start the topic (laugh at those who have poor spelling) to stop that kind of discussions.

there's nothing wrong about getting fat or being fat. i know people who are overweight but they are good people deep inside. and too huggable, too. i can even pinch them and they allow me,too. plus when they smile and laugh, they look so cute. i want to tell you not to mind those people who posts bad things about fat people. but i understand how you feel. i just hope these persons think first before posting discussions because they do hurt some members, too.

Why do you complain about ignorant questions on Mylot. Where is the quality in your post? You say "at least I am not gay" as if being gay would make a person a lesser human being. (No, I am not gay myself). I find it so sad when people get off on gay bashing or fat bashing for that matter. Live and let live and post discussions that make sense.

No, she's not complaining. This whole post is satiric attack on a certain "babe"'s threads. I can understand you're confusion, but if you happen to know what she's talking about, you will see that her "bashing" of this particular babe is quite reasonable. Very funny too.lol!

I agree with you. Some of the posts are quite insensitive. Also some answers are quite insensitive. You have every right to express yourself but I say every one should express themselves in an agreeable manner. I guess these people are doing for the sake of getting the attention and get more responses.
