If Krim gets banned I'm gonna laugh my ass off

if your arse is as fat as your face, i can see we are gonna have to do another CD to save the ppl who suffer in the wake of that fat bastard wave!

Now that was fuckin funny - you fuckin funny twat

no, it's not even slightly funny - don't you think this boy probably had to suffer enough for being overweighted in school etc. for the rest of his life?

And how on earth is the weight of others our business anyway?

It was fast, sharp & off the cuff.
A little cruel? possibly, but a lot of humour is.
I don't know arke personally, but the seems to me to be a young man who is quite happy with who he is - I may be wrong.
I was brought up working class, taking the piss out of each other in many of the places I worked was an art form - it was how we managed to survive a day of working drudgery, a survival mechanism if you will. - So I (unperfected being that I am) still find that kind of low humour amusing.
Plus it seemed an excellent way to use humour to defuse what was escalating into a rather nasty little scenario with Kriminal appearing to spiral out of control.
Anyway this all started because I came to Arkes defence about something that was said that even a thick skinned northern twat like me thought was out of order - & then you call me out?
Maybe next time I should just keep my mouth shut & not jump in to defend someone, or try to defuse a situation in case the KVR bottom police decide to inspect my undies & find them morally/ethically wanting?

Edit: - I won't change my words there, as they expressed my feelings, but they were a little sharp & I realise that you also were only defending someone.
Crossed wires & all that.
Respect.

no, I'm wasn't calling you out and I understand your argument about why you found it funny.
However I'm brought up with another idea of in what way we should treat others with respect and I know pretty good how harmful such insults are even if you have the strongest of personalities.

whatever Arke may achieve in his life:

deep down inside he will always still know that he... [let me spare us the end of the sentence]

That's how it works even if the insult isn't intended maliciously at all.

[diverdee]

Yeah - respect your position - & in 'real' life one would have more signals & clues as to how far one could go with people, re: good natured taking the piss etc.
On t'internet there's none of that.
Anyway I feel kinda funny talking about arke behind his back as it were, he's a funny, friendly lad & I likes him

[M'Snah]

so... what do you guys think about Orion?

[diverdee]

so... what do you guys think about Orion?

what kind of OT insensitive question is that?
Can't you see there's some group therapy & shit going on here?
Wanna know about ORION - ask bones, or Kriminal - oops can't ask him at the mo can you (yeah low blow I know, but I think he'd likely appreciate it)

Actually, it occurred to me only the other day that I am the only person I know, who's around my age, who has never been on any kind of diet in his/her life. In fact I would be surprised if I've ever so much as made the healthy choice at a restaurant or cake shop. Which isn't too strange except that I'm one of the fattest. I truly couldn't care less and if I did I could do something about it. People always assume that because they wouldn't want to be called something that everyone else must have the same standards and, therfore, if they don't show it their hurt must be deep down inside. Bah!

I've been talking about normal human beings, not about ex-soldiers...

[M'Snah]

so... what do you guys think about Orion?

You're right... very insensitive of me. When we have finally reached a point where people fearlessly admit their innermost feelings... and I just barge in destroying all the progress. I sincerely apologize guys...

Anyway... Ben will probably move my post to 'off topic' anyway .

[arke]

I haven't been on a diet ... then again, I'm quite a bit younger than you .

I believe that whatever doesn't kill us makes us stronger which is why I don't really make a big deal about it and other stuff relating to it. Might also be why I'm sick much less often than my peers

[advaya]

Or maybe, you need some healthier friends!

Just kidding... This thread has gotten a bit ridiculous though huh?

I have to agree with you there bones. I'm not obese or anything, but if I was I don't think I would give a shit about it unless it became difficult to live or drastically unhealthy. I am a pretty big person so my frame can support the weight (i'm about 215 right now).

I do have a belly and I consider that "earned" as part of my manhood and dealing with this f**ked up society. It's no coincidence that as a non-atheletic (me) human male gets on in years that they look more and more like their apeish ancestor cro-magnon.

I don't look at overweight males and think "fat" I think "wise", unless of course they have mustard on their sleeves and a twinkie in their hand at the time.

"Societal normal" is a f**king joke. Everything is judged on appearance, conformity, or trend, and personally I loathe people that subscribe to these ideals. They are the same people who kiss the ass of the most popular or most successful person at work/school because they are f**king "toads" who just want to be cool or liked. The problem is always much deeper, but I will shed no tears for these fucktards living in their personal clueless oblivions.

sorry for being what you might call 'political correct' in this certain case - I know it's a sensitive topic but I still think no-one should have the right to humiliate someone else by calling him 'fat' and -I still think it's very respectless.
