Have you ever done this to someone?

No, I have never done any of these things. Anyone who does is an asshole.

No, it's wrong. It is racism. Agree with being overweight it or not, its not your business...and to be honest I think the people who hate obese people, hate them in fear of becoming overweight themselves. I dislike having to pay taxes for the medicare of someone who eats at McDonalds everyday, however I'm more furious at the fact that shitty food is the least expensive (if you have no land to grow your own food) to buy...thus making it hard for some to make better food choices. I'm not making excuses for anyone, but that is the way it is for some. At the end of the day, plain and simple, balck and white...no one deserves to be treated poorly because of what they look like. I personally try to make good lifestyle choices, but I can empathize with people....that's a skill that has to be worked at, but it does severely change the way you look at the world. You cannot control others, you can only control yourself.

Wow we got some jerks here on IIN

I believe periodically as a child I may have called someone "fat". I am ashamed. I would never do such a thing now because its rude and mean. Who am I to judge someone's weight especially, if I don't have all the details? Obesity in a person could be caused by a underlying health condition for all we know.

I admit, I have said mean things to other people when I saw really large people. Multiple times I have said
"If I ever get that big, shoot me or starve me please."
But it's more me, I would probably kill myself if I let myself become obese.
Not trying to offend anyone but I wouldn't be able to deal with myself.

I have also told my little brother to eat more healthy and be more active, because my father's terrible eating habits were rubbing off on him, and before his growth spurt he got pretty big. I only did it because I care about his health though. Nothing good comes from being over weight. I don't want him to end up with a ton of health problems from something that could be so easily prevented.

I apologise to use Laos culture again, but it is where I live. Being obese is respected over here, it's a sign of affluence and success.

I used to. But now, technically, I don't do any offensive things regarding with their physical appearances anymore. I'm fat - 85kg and 5'11". But, I don't do the offesive thing not because I'm a little bit fat and that I see myself in theirs. I respect people (not always, I'm not perfect) that's why.

But with friends and cousins, we normally tease each other in a way that it is not mean and offending, just to make fun of ourselves.

Sometimes, especially with a friend or more, when I see someone who's physically ugly (sorry, I can't think of an euphemism) in a funny way not in an awful way, I force myself not to laugh, then I ,wearing a smile hidding an explosive laugh, will turn to my friend/s so I could change my attention. Then I will see my friend/s who happen/s to wear the smile and we at each others faces, then we try to speak or say something but our words are broke because we are preventing to laugh out loud in a crowd. Thus, I know he/she saw what I saw and He/she know I saw what he/she saw. Then BOOM! Laughter explodes from both/all of us. Then, after a while, when our eyes meet, we laugh again, and i think it's really akward to laugh in crowd. - I stated this because, I think this kind of scenario is often mistaken by others as being judgmental. NO, maybe I was in a good mood when something like this happen and I easily found that thing humorous but in a funny way not in a judgy way.

Oh boy, how I miss that kind healthy laughter, laughter that's not from some sort of corny jokes but laughter from real enjoyment.

I've done some of those but not because they're fat! I've stared at fat people because they're rude/loud/screaming etc...

I used to be way too skinny on school and people used to make fun of me and calling me names, so I know how it feels like to be exposed because of your physical appearance.

i used to. thought i was the hot shit until she backhanded me. teaches you a lesson.

No, never. Part of my personal philosophy is to never judge others unless they are hurting other people.

I have a history of ignoring people in the middle of a conversation. a definite set back from my shyness.
So i have most likely ignored an obese person before. But not because of their body type. Just because I do it a lot.

Im VERY against making fun or forming negative opinions about a persons body.

Attitude is another story though.

No.

I occasionally say bitchy things with friends, but that's scratching the itch to be a bitch. It's usually done in the most tongue-in-cheek way, and never directly to or within ear-shot of the random person it's about (in other words, they have no idea). I would never want to insult anyone, let alone a perfect stranger, unless they did something genuinely deserving of disrespect.

My husband is overweight so his weight has obviously come up on numerous occasions. There have been times when I have suggested that he exercise and take better care of himself and his health and there has also been one occasion where he has hurt me and in retaliation, I did call him fat in the heat of the moment when he was being deliberately hurtful to me, slamming doors in my face, pushing me around and calling me names as well as playing on my insecurities.

It was one time about four years ago and I've learned my lesson since then. I now don't ever bring it up. Ever. I feel that what I've done and said was wrong and I shouldn't have. I've apologized profusely and sincerely to him and I hope he can find it in him to forgive me one day.

good god, people are sick.

Oh yeah sure, I walk up to total strangers and insult them all the time.

No, I know that some people can not help being overweight.
There are some illnesses that cause people to be obese.
I think it's very rude to make fun of them.

I often insult people to their faces, call them names, yell at them or even gently punch them. But I don't mean any of those things and the people I do them to know me well enough. Also I don't mind my friends doing any of this to me. But maybe thats only a "men thing".

I've cracked jokes with my friends and called them a fat fuck but the ironic thing is that I'm fatter than them but one of my friends who's thin eats all the time and I call him a fat fuck when he's only like 170 and 5'9.

I can't recall if I've ever said it in public to someone I didn't know unless it was an asshole whom I've gotten into an disagreement with but I can't recall anything specifically.

I'm not the teasing kind of person, so you wouldn't catch me teasing anyone...

...yourself?

I guess I'm guilty of staring and telling people to eat less and exercise more occasionally. Although in the second case, it was well deserved. I knew the guy personally and he straight up asked me what I do to stay in shape.
