As the daughter of a 25 stone lady, who has stopped leaving the house because of comments like the vitriol above, I thank you Res for your post.

That's sad Cherrytree. I don't get out much these days because it is too difficult but when I do I make the most of it and sod the rest of them. I have worked for over 40 years, paid my taxes, own my own home and owe nothing to anyone so who cares what the small minded think. Shame your daughter can't join the BBW crew on here. Very confidence boosting. Good luck to her :thumbup:

You're welcome, and I have an idea for another use for your stick if you get the chance... :shock:
My only concern, would be that many would enjoy it and it would require a damn good clean afterwards.

Oh I see! It's a comedy routine you are after now is it? I use my stick for nefarious purposes and while this is happening I slowly fall over and gently roll away? rotflmao

How about painting dotted lines down the middle of each bay as a guide for those that want to take up two spaces rather than the one? (Park between the dotted lines)

Nah ... I think anyone who can't park within the lines of a single parking bay should have their license revoked ... and be shot ... for being useless fuckers !!!

Why is there designated parking for disabled people outside skating rinks :shock: :shock: :shock:

At a guess I'd say because rinks have spectators areas.
Plus a disabled spot is for use by people who are registered disabled, and are able to show a blue badge, as proof.
Plus there are people who are disabled but still have mobility, or the disability is sporadic, for instance my stepdad has arthritis, but he is a stubborn bastard, he will do something physical, knowing it will mean him being laid up on the sofa for a couple of days, but at the time of the physical activity, he may feel ok to do it.
Plus under the Disability Discrimination Act 2005, provisions have to be made for people who are disabled or less able bodied, for instance better access, and parking.
I hope that answers your question.

This would be me then. The day that people take care when opening their car doors and stop banging into my car ,,,,costing hundreds of pounds with the dent man, then this is the day that I will only take one space at my supermarket.

Be like the French, they hardly ever change their cars to "keep up with the Jones's" and so long as it starts every morning, who cares what it looks like?
Nice smelling air fresheners sales in France are a rarity too. It's amazing how well a ripe Camembert, a bunch of garlic and string of onions purify the air so easily :grin:

We have all seen the designated parking bays in car parks and the symbols that are painted in them denoting their intended use. The adult with child in hand for parent and toddlers and the wheel chair for the disabled, both probably needed, all though I've no idea why the mother and toddler need to be in close proximity to the front door, but I see why the space needs to be wider, what with the need to open the door to its fullest in order to get the child in and out of the seat and faff around with all sorts of crap, but is there not now a need for other designated bays?
I'm thinking perhaps some with an image of the Honey Monster in them,as a representation of the fat lazy, generally middle aged fuckers, who use the afore mentioned bays despite their only disability being an inability to walk past a burger bar and a chocolate display without making a purchase.
Perhaps some with the image of a baseball cap in it for the truculant youth, with the 'I don't care' stride and strut.
Ones with an image of a man in a suit with the lines painted at a an angle to the others for the 'I'm in a hurry business man' who must throw it into the bay at a cockish angle.
Do you see the need for further designated bays for us? who needs them and what symbol should denote their use?

That comment did make me chuckle. Apparently it is the " fat gene " that they have now, and not the pies and chips and coke, that make people obese......believe that one and I am a fairy.
Some of the worst offenders at my local supermarket, are the ones who park on double yellow lines right outside the supermarket, to get cash from the cash machines. Now they are downright lazy buggers, and should be brought to task.
Or the blind people who use two parking bays when doing their shopping, as they have an inability to see the lane markers. Not really being blind, but you know what I mean. Say anything though, and wait to get a mouthful of abuse.
I just cannot believe how lazy people have become over recent years, and they wonder why we have a weight problem in this country.
As one of the "fat, lazy, middle-aged fuckers" who should be shot... I find opinionated, ill-informed, judgemental, rhetoric entirely obnoxious too. While fat people may diet if they choose to do so to overcome the "fat gene", it sadly seems there is no cure for this type of mental paucity that afflicts many of the pious, self-righteous know-it-alls, who's only contribution in many cases is muddled pig ignorance and crass stupidity on a level that even Jeffrey Archer would have been ashamed of.
You can park that where you like...
While Mr K, you may be staggered at peoples laziness, I too am equally staggered by their lazy thinking, judgemental ways and total lack of compassion and understanding for someone else. Or is it only thin right wingers who deserve any kind of support these days?
Easy targets though aren't we? Strange if how the same comments had been made about women, black people, gays or lesbians there would be an outcry. Flaming lefty liberals ruining your fun! At least you can decry the fat gits for free these days eh?
It is quite amazing how so many people on here are self-professed experts on absolutely everything, and yet know absolutely f*cking nothing whatsoever, other than what some tired hack in a lazy, politicised rag tells them to think.
When you develop capacity for rational thought on your own, feel free to contribute meaningfully to a discussion on the issue. Until such time, please do keep posting. If nothing else, it's good for a laugh to realise that there are still people who think like we did in the dark ages.

Oi Losty.....the bit highlighted in blue above I did NOT write!
My " attack " on fat people was nothing compared to what some have written here.
Read it again please. wink

Also mine was not an " attack " on fat people, merely an observation that I see every week at my supermarket.

21 May 2009

Your right 777 my sincere apologies I should of remarked at Dave-J rather than yourelf. It was an awfully bigotted intolerant comment. I sincerely hope it was a piece of unthought about flippancy on his behalf.

22 May 2009

Appology accepted Losty. wink

I do not get many of those. lol

22 May 2009

Lost that's a general sweeping statement meant as a pisstake at people like me, a lardy middle aged girl who can't be arsed to park at the other end of a carpark at 11 o'clock at night to quickly grab some ham (and a bar of choc :cool: )for tomorrows sarnies.
It's stated at the beginning that he's not talking about people that need the spaces, but about the people that just use them and ought to have spaces of their own.
There are loads of the sweeping statements in the thread - it's a pisstake thread - and no matter how people feel, pisstaking happens in all walks of life, as someone often at the brunt of it for a few reasons, that's life, I join in in RL rather than get offended. Everyone with no exceptions has a quirk, it's what makes us all unique, and if everyone got offended at certain jokes about them, it would be a sad sad world.
And I don't mean disabilities, I mean quirks or traits. We all have em, we've all had the mickey taken out of us and we all exaggerate others quirks/traits to take the mickey out of them or ourselves.
Missy - 'a fat lazy, middle aged fucker, who use the afore mentioned bays despite their only disability being an inability to walk past a burger bar and a chocolate display without making a purchase.' confused

Reads like its having a pop at fat people to me, though I guess being i'm being over sensitive. So i'm sorry if I've read it wrongly and made anyone especially Dave-J feel anything other than really cool about the post

It all depends how you interpret the AUP phrase "Abusive, aggressive, hateful or racist behaviour towards fellow members, Ops/Mods or Administration staff".
The original post and some of the comments in my view were all of those things.
I believe internet forums need to be more like an employment level of acceptable behaviours towards others than for example that enjoyed by us in our social lives. This is because I think it helps folk to integrate in what can be a very intimidating and easily misinterpreted environment. If one person feels put off from contributing by the OP or some of the responses, that in my view is one too many.
That said those who thinks its over the top but are self assured can always respond quite appropriately in my view in the manner that Res and Lost did.
If you over moderate forums they tend to die of sterility anyway.

Ben
Where in the original post did the OP display any of the behaviour that contravenes the AUP to any members of this site? If you mean that by his generalisation he is including some members of the site, is it any worse than your allegation in another recent thread that" their employers are often habitual tax fraudsters "? Double standards here methinks!! I am sure that there are members of this site that are employers and found your comments as offensive as I did.
Like Missy and many others, I read this as a pisstake thread and the first post that I saw that contravened the AUP was the highly personalised attack on Kent but I don't see you complaining about that. Double standards again?

24 May 2009

Yes Max I do think they are different, one marginalises a minority, the other doesnt.
And yes there are personal attacks in the thread which for the record I dont find acceptable either. That said I admit to standing up more for underdogs and minorities than for those who keen to marginalise such groups.

Well You would.
That second comment is just another way of YOU justifying your comments as acceptable.
Why have you always got an excuse but, others are just being offensive?
You have been offensive ( in my view ) many times. This thread was a bit of a piss take as I saw it as did others.
Stop using excuses to justify your behaviour and then slag off others for doing exactly what you do constantly.
On that note I am off to ride me bike into the warm sunshine, and as a minority bike user on the roads, will thoroughly enjoy it. cool

Sorry Ben, your support of the underdog is admirable but IMHO you have a very cynical and biased viewpoint that it doesn't allow you to see the double standards in your arguments. My final comment on the matter.

Racist? where the fuck did you get that from? I try and stay out of argument and I seldom take offence, but you've overstepped the line with that accusation. I can see how there might be misunderstanding about my wording, for them as want to find it, but there is none about yours.
There was no intent to offend anyone, least of all fat folk, take a look at the avatar picture and tell me how many ribs you see...thats right none, not a fucking one, why? because I can't pass a burger bar or a chocolate stand without making a purchase, I fall into the very catagory of persons that you want to protect from my venom. Minorities group my arse, where was that dreamed up from, when the fuck did fat people like me become a minority group that needs your support from people that want to marginalise them like ...eerm....me :crazy: fucking hell that means I need protecting from me

Couldn't agree more so why not step back and ask yourself if it isnt you, that has misinterpreted a post.

I have no problem with thier responses, I could have chosen better words, they got the wrong end of the stick, what ever, I accept those things happen, but yours, however well crafted has pissed me off.

I agree and as an ex moderator on here fully understand that, I also understand that members who want to pick over posts to find offence when they know full well none was intended also moderate forums by preventing the less 'self assured' from posting.
I make no apology for the original post, it was a piss take of those that have the arrogance to take spaces intended for less fortunate people. You are simply trying to make summint outa nowt.

From what I've seen on t'inter-web, the 'fatties' among us (over BMI 22-25) are not a minority any more.
So, I propose a new political party. The 25'ers. We'll campaign for the extra-wide car bays, decent airline seats (please!!!!), comfy seats at the cinema, a better range of clothes at all shops, we'll increase the size of toilet cubicles.
Adverts for food will display in the recommended amounts - not 4 times that just to make the cereal look more tempting.
'Diet' foods will have to compare themselves with equivalent 'real' foods. (Have you seen the amount of sugars in Go-Ahead sweet products?)
BMI charts will be recalibrated to include the vareiety of skeletal frames in the population.
Doctors will have the facility to prescribe enjoyable exercise opportunities for people trying to improve their health. (You don't always need pills to improve your blood-pressure, bad back or early diabetes).
Do I get any votes?
