Re: Portrayal of women: (split)

Thing ive learnt over the years being bullied for everything so far lol is that the only person that has the problem is the person that subjects judgement onto someone for whatever reason, if someone insists on bringing a weight or height or whatever issue means that 'that' person themselves have the issue not the person subjected to it!

I mean if you aint got a problem with it .....then why do they bring it up then?

Mind u i have yet for someone to come up with something new & insulting to call me lol water off a ducks back

Not sure if that is aimed at me and this thread?? But I will reply anyway. I brought this thread up because, It is one of my absolute hates when people think it is o.k to put people down about weight issues. I hate people who thinks it is o.k to call someone FAT, STICK THIN, ANOREXIC ( when they aren't they are just slim) being a Anorexic is a Illness - being slim is just what you are even though you eat see the difference. Making judgments on peoples sizes can have a lasting impact on that person, even though the person that makes the judgement may never ever think of the comment they made ever again.

Nope its just aimed generally at the name callers.....but also yeh it could go for the thread too, people call people because of their ignorance, own in security & having a narrow mind - one thing that took me a long time to get in line was my own reaction to it [ask your tinks about my school years!] people say hurtful stuff to make themselves feel better & to gain reaction in hope others join the bandwagon so makes them feel GOOD or popular [saddo's] - so whats the worse thing you can do is fuel their fire with a reaction!!! I do the absolute opposite & well practised on one person i feared & it works cos it takes the power off them to yourself, like i said i dont take offense to name calling in fact immune had it too long over my life & like i said above i've yet to find someone to be original & call me something i haven't been called before if they have to, i will give em a round of applause - only happened a few times tho & it shocks them more that i aint bothered but clapped em for it with a

I dont know what started this slinky so cant comment about it but i've known you for a long time & know u as a person & i know u can hold yer own no matter what.

I think it's just the way we are. Maybe subconsciously it makes us feel better about our own hang-ups if we criticise someone elses. I suppose it starts very young, in schools .... skinny, fatty, specky, bean pole. Maybe it's just easier to criticise than to give compliments. I dunno ... what I do know though is it would be boring if we were all the same.

Some adults? I've had this conversation many times! There's no-one meaner than adults. Give me a gang of name calling kids over nasty evil adults who should know better anyday.

Yeah but he does have a fat head lol...... well done Neil I applaud you.

I would never say that to his face though.......and yes as a kid I was just as evil as any other kid.

Don't hide Neil... you made a comment, and that is good. Say what you mean and mean what you say.
