Yea it's a joke!!!!

Yea people need to chill out!!!! It's a joke have we become so PC that we can't tell a joke. It es me off that we have become a society of whimps and youhave to watch every word you say becaue you might offend someone. I feel like I'm in kindergarden someone says something funny and someone doesn't like it and runs to tell teacher. The people who are offended us it because you look like that and are too lazy to change your life?

:shrug: I thought the poster was funny. I was fat (300+ pounds) and decided to DO something about it. I'm still overweight but I'm working on it. I can't stand to see morbidly obese people rolling around WDW on scooters either. If they'd WALK they might lose some weight...

...my $.02 and I'm gonna get flamed for it, but I don't give a Mickey's-butt.

:sohappy: Finally, someone with alot of sense on the threads. I agree, unless you have a condition, obese people should walk around the park instead of scootering. While I have nothing against an overweight person there are alot of people who enjoy to ridicule them for using scooters.

But where is the line drawn? Why is it OK to tell a joke against fat people and not OK to tell one against someone who is gay or a different race? If I start making motivational posters that make fun of black people or a gay person, that would be considered "not funny" but why? It's just a joke, right? Wrong. It's a joke at someone else's expense.

My point is simply this. When do we draw the line and consider how our actions, our words, and our jokes, impact other people?

Seems to me simply saying "it's just a joke" has been used far too often to legitamize saying something that you know is going to hurt someone, but simply are too self absorbed to care.

This post shows why the world is what it is today (a bunch of weak sue happy give me free money bc I dont want to work people,) grow up and stop being "hurt" by what other people say. A sense of humor goes a long way now a days

My point is we should be able to make gay, black, white, fat ect jokes peopleare to caught up in this PC crap. I'm polish and I don't get offended by all the Pollock jokes out there.

OK timeout people.

What did obese people do 20 years ago BEFORE ECVs were readily available?? THEY HAD TO WALK OR NOT GO TO THE PARKS!!!

Period.

I'm effin' sick of running into, or being run into by ECVs. :fork:

No, the reason the world is the way it is today is because of people who do whatever they want and don't care about anyone but themselves. DO you HONESTLY mean to tell me, if we took a moment to actually HELP each other instead of tearing them down for our own amusement, the world would NOT be a better place?

And a question for you. How does it "make me weak" to think it's wrong to have a laugh at someone else's expense?

Wouldn't it make someone intellectually "weak" if the only way the could come up with humor was to make fun of someone else?

20 years ago there was hardly any junk food :shrug:

You can't control the color of your skin. But you can keep yourself from becoming that obese. I think the fat jokes may be the least of their problems though...

Sticks and stones, sticks and stones...

Amen.

What, we're supposed to help other people for being obese? They made the choice to eat unhealthful foods and not exercise... I personally will let them deal with their problem. Besides, black people and gay people have nothing wrong with them, nor did they choose to be that way - obese people? Yeah, they don't make good choices... see the difference?

The post was a joke. I laughed, it was funny. You really should stay away from TV in these times, because these jokes come up every half second nowadays, and they're a whole lot worse.

I'm guessing this thread'll be locked soon. Stinks that it takes only one rotten egg to spoil everyone else's fun.

And you shouldn't. People should be able to laugh at themselves. If you can't do that than you are a crybaby.
(whoever complained probably writes letters complaining to South Park or Family Guy)

Actually gay people chose to be gay but at least they don't ride those bumper carts around the parks.

Not all obese people made a "choice" to be overweight.

Sounds to me like you are the rotten egg.

The jury is still out on that one. (pun unintended).

I was taught that gay people "choose" to accept who they are, just as an Asian man must accept that he is Asian.
