    Something else you should keep in mind for the future, your wife should accept the consequences for her shitty behavior. I notice you have nothing to say about her bullshit. Just that we should all (apparently) absorb her crap and treat her with kindness in return. Fuck that. She can run her mouth but nobody else can?

    I don't disagree with anything you've said here.

    However, I think it's a legitimate question to ask: How many of those other millions of cases had similarly disasterous effects on the students in question? I think it's fair to suggest that this girl's family has access to resources beyond the majority: She's getting the lawsuit, and I doubt, strongly, it's a case of the lawyer taking payment upon settlement - the odds of a settlement are too fucking low. She's also now in a private school, which usually indicates some resources beyond the minimum.

    Finally, the claim that the teachers/administration didn't know how bad things were for this girl is not an acceptable excuse - it seems the most prominent time for the harassment was during the lunch period, in the fucking cafeteria. If that's not supposed to be a monitored space and time, let's just give up claiming schools are safe, and admit the hyenas own the place.
    Well sadly, I do think the hyenas own many of the schools now, especially schools in cities/dense urban areas. Just to be clear, I would love to see the problem address more often and better. I would love to see it at very least relayed to the parents if the child ends up with the guidance counselor in tears. It really is not asking much. I was just commenting on the article seemed very non-objective to me about the reality that is schools past and present.

    So much for personal responsibility.

    Intersting cites and comment, OtakuLoki. I think you may have really hit on something there and, while I will assume that the school will eventually win that lawsuit, I also think the family doing the suing has a legitimate beef, as do many others who have remained silent.
    Hell is other people.

    Sleeps, what you're failing to recognize is that I'm not here to discuss my wife's behaviour; I'm here to discuss your behaviour. Repeating the mantra "Well, your wife is just as big an asshole as I am!!!1!" does not in any way give you licence to be rude and inconsiderate, particularly when you have specifically set a standard of conduct for everyone else, and then choose to ignore it for yourself. I really can't believe you think knocking featherlou down makes you appear any less complicit or justified. What it does make you look like is an even bigger asshole, and that's saying something.

    No, jimbo, the fucking point is that you want to hold Sleeps to one set of standards and lou to another. You are all over this thread agreeing with the OP. Either lou doesn't agree with the thesis, in which case she should be willing to tolerate any and all comments about her weight. Or she does agree with it, in which case she should stop her nasty sniping at non-ugly, non-fat women. Or is it as I suspect, ok for you guys to say that skinny women are gross and emaciated but not ok for someone to make a comment about her. In which case, you can both suck it.

    Jesus Christ, ENOUGH. Send her in here to deal with this shit herself or drop it.

    Jimbo, let me do this again because I know your reading comprehension is terrible. I own my asshole behavior. Yep, said so right away. It's an asshole move and I acknowledge it. Is it wrong? Sure! Will I do it again if she runs her mouth again? You can bet your ass I will. I will always respond to her in a way she can grasp and fully appreciate.

    Do I run around bashing fat people in general? Nope. Do I care that you think this makes me a hypocrite? Certainly not! You've already demonstrated what a double standard shitbag you are, so you are not even on my radar of giving a shit.

    And believe me, I know you're not here to talk about your own wife's behavior. You're not about to take her to task for the horseshit she pulls or the stupidity she spouts. You're just her mouthpiece and a pretty piss poor one at that.

I will keep that in mind for the future...
    So, then, your stance is that it's A-OK for your wife to say insulting things about women who have the temerity to be at a healthy weight, or who have big breasts? And everyone else is morally obligated to treat your wife better than she treats others?

    All Three Musketeers at once again! Woot!

    You are right, Sleeps. You admitted that you are an asshole in your first response to me. I shall belabour the point no further, since we are in agreement.

    It seems that Domebo Chat creates a lot of shit. This isn't the first thread where we had to go to the tapes.

    I thought most of us were all Woodstock-ey peace and love with each other.

    C'mon, all the mo-fos involved. Let's sing fucking Kumbaya!

    Now!

    This is all a bunch of Internet stupidity.

    Out in the real world, if your a chick and look like a 12 year old boy, somebody wants to fuck you.

    If you're 250lbs of tits and ass, somebody wants to fuck you.

    Just stop arguing and go fuck somebody, okay? It makes the world go 'round, baby.

    I vote we hear more about Shayquan.

    I date Shayquan's older brother Ralph. The one with the 2 liter abs and the tiny penis with great conversation.

    I don't step foot in chat (not out of any dislike of it, but I just haven't bothered) and I've noticed featherlou's skinny bashing. And no, I'm not skinny. I'm fat.

    I've ranted about this before, like myrna. I quit working at Lane Bryant because I got sick and tired of, "I'm not built like a 12 year old boy!", "I'm a REAL WOMAN!", "I don't wanna be no STICK FIGURE like HER!". The "her" in question in that last one? One of the managers who was 5'2" and a size 6. Yeah, what a stick figure.

    And you're being really disingenuous, Jimbo. "I'm not here about my wife's behavior, I'm here about yours". Yeah, no shit. Just admit that you're totally fine with your wife being nasty towards non-overweight people. Be honest, at least.
