Codrus, if not ridiculing people because of their weight would take away 50% of the world's humour and make the world a shite place to be, then this is a SAD reflection on the world as you know it. There is plenty of humour in the world without having to resort to maliciousness, which is what this is. It's a situation of "I feel badly about myself for whatever reason, so I am going to make fun of this person so that I feel superior" and that is all kinds of sad. Not to mention pathetic.
And yes, I have made fun of others...in non-malicious ways. In ways that they KNEW were in fun (ie: inside jokes). As a child.
I have NEVER done anything like this thread.

ok..first off sophie i respect your opinion and ive read it and understand your point...and you can get as miffed at me as you want for my response cuz i really dont like being serious or even being taken seriously anyhow....so
i personally like to laugh...alot...and if we eliminate everything that pokes fun of all people and everything derogitorilly funny that was ever said the world as we know it would suck and i would have killed somone along time ago.
you would be eliminating at least 50% of all the humor on the planet...is that what you really want...and the fall-out from that would be...yup you guessed it....more death/wars
i personally try to find humor in everything...and i dont mind if somone pokes fun at me for what ever reason...becuase jokes and insults are better than fists and guns anyday..and im way to pretty to get hit in the face.
its in my opinion that people being too "P.C." and serious cuases some of the biggest problems in the world........if you take the humor out of life...its not worth living sweety.
okies..no more seriousness
did i say "just fat people"?....mmmm...no, i try to offend and poke fun equally
im slightly over weight with huge ears and a honkin' nose....does this stop me form making fun of myself.........no, i dont feel bad about myself at all...nor do i feel pathetic.
do you luagh or think its funny when somone falls down?,.... did you like dumb and dumber?...is it ok for a mentally handicaped person to call somone who isnt retarded?....is it ok for a black person to call another black person the "N" word? ....its all the same
sophie if you dont want to do it dont..but dont chastise becuase i dont set limititations on my sense of humor....its that simple
i still loves ya girlie...

Well, I personally find the use of the word "retarded" to be horrifying in and of itself. Ditto the N word. I didn't enjoy Dumb & Dumber as a matter of fact, but then I find Jim Carrey to be heaps annoying.
I just think there is a difference in say, laughing at Susan to her face when her drunk ass fell off the bar and broke her leg and in making v meanspirited jokes about Susan because she's overweight behind her back.

well if im gonna do it...ill do it to the persons face..that way they can luagh too
this is what makes us all individuals and speacial in the eyes of "Cod"...what you like others dont....all we have to do is figure out a way to get along and not kill each other for the short time that we live on this big spiining ball....and alot of times...a little bit of humor goes along way no matter what form it may take
hmm...
the female in the picture may like who she is as she is. nothing wrong with that. society, however, has dictated that such form is not acceptable, and yet in a fast-moving society that likes flavor, sugar, fat, spice, and everything nice in between gets slabbed onto fast food items.
now, i am not necessarily insinuating that you, sophie, or anyone else eats at fast-food joints everyday, nor am i insinuating that the female depicted does as well. for all we know, she could have inherited the 'issue' (if it really is one) and cannot really do anything about it.
however, the more important thing is that sophie, you are trying to (not strictly) force your beliefs on people here. that, my dear, is a difficult subject to handle, but i shall try.
you are of the opinion that everyone should not make fun of people because of how they look, think, are, et cetera. but then you state that it may be ok to laugh about how someone drunk (state) broke their leg.. which seems slightly contradictory to what you would like to see.
while you are entitled to your opinion, and in some cases, have plenty of opportunity to discuss it, i do not think it is fair to say what someone thinks of someone else is wrong. if i said "a jew walked into a bar" (and stopped talking after that).. what would you say? the point is not the jew's action, but instead the joke revolves around the funny concept of someone (jew or not) walking into a bar. the joke itself stems from earlier jokes' setups. if those jokes were never stated, we could not have a precedent for this joke, and therefore would not carry the same level of humor that the joke today carries. granted, the joke is quite old now, but the underlying point still remains.
sometimes, humor is at the expense of others; sometimes, the jokes evolve into undirected jokes, such as the 'yo momma' jokes (they are directed, but in a general sense, because they assume the attribute is applicable to one's mother, but the actual attribute may not persist in reality itself).
my point is that your insistence (while well-intentioned, in my opinion) would destroy most of the good jokes themselves. most good jokes draw roots to those created at the expense of others, and that is just the way it is.
or so it seems from my point of view.

let us take this into account, and extrapolate:
actually, i will do better than that:
if it is possible, read some of the posts made by the user 'lemon' (me).
find out (if the discussions have not moved to oblivion or elsewhere) that those who stick together foster an atmosphere that eventually removes the aliens.
if those who think the original poster's image is funny, that is their opinion. those who do not, that is their opinion.
we have two differing opinions, both of which have background beliefs that would take at least a decade to sort out, much less understand, and regurgitate to form any reasonable and "accepted" debate.
therefore, since that is a daunting task, most people take sides.
given this type of community, those on the opposing side of the authority.. will generally be removed. case in point: me.
except i came back, to chat with the people i enjoyed talking with. most of those people were eventually banished from this community (see above for an abstracted reason of why it occurred), and therefore nearly all of my reasons for returning were nullified. during the time i was learning of those developments, i was engaged in discussions with the 'new' old people (those i have not met online through this community who have established themselves as leaders, mods or respected persons). this led to me giving this place another chance.
i have given it another chance, and so far, it seems to be a good decision; however, i still see situations, such as this one, that could bring about another community issue, where a couple of persons (like 10 or so) who are||were respected by the majority decide that it's time to leave and pursue other items they deem important.
my goal of this discussion is not to get into an argument over what beliefs/opinions are justified and which are not. that is not up to my discretion as i am not a member of the moderation staff (which still does not exclude me from removal; i have been a moderator here in my earlier days, but stepped down for similar reasons).
my goal of this discussion is not to create any drama of any kind, even though my persistence in this discussion could be construed as some type of drama, which i do not have any counters against (because i would have to agree with them on that point).
my goal of this discussion is to foster the idea that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, whether a government will protect that ideal (another discussion, occurring in the politics sub-forum, in which i stated that no one has any rights at all) or not. such an ideal is not brand new; it has been festering at least since the ancient times of greece and most likely even earlier.
