Hey mods:

Would you mind taking a look at this?

Of course there isn't. If there were, I'd give them about a year to lose it then I'd be so repelled by their gross appearance and lack of drive that I'd mock them for their gluttony and disown them.

Fat people are not people.

From this (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=519363&page=4) thread?

Isn't this considered flamebait or trolling, or is this one of those "grow a thicker skin" instances?

Who exactly is he flaming? You? Certainly not me.

I really don't see how this is any different than "Americans are stupid," "Republicans are rednecks," or the rest of the idiotic comments throughout General.

I'm hardly a fan of obesity, and I find it equally disgusting, but really...fat people are people. You can't argue otherwise. It's like saying homosexuals aren't people, or blacks aren't people, or some other stupidity. I'd suggest just logging it under "idiotic comments," or even arguing against it if that's how you feel.

Not really a flame how I see it, but I'm sure a Mod will correct me and adequately handle the situation if I'm wrong. However, if this classifies as flame, I'd be interested in seeing the standard applied elsewhere, given the number of "<insert random group> are all <insert generic group of people>" threads in General.

Personally, I'd say it's much more of a trolling statement than a flame.

Seeing how I am overweight, and am not considered "human" because of it, I will consider it a flame.

And it was my understanding that "All_____'s are _____" comments were not allowed in this forum. In this, I might be wrong.

*shrugs* Again, it was my impression that those types of threads were not allowed. This OP in this thread wasn't even addressing the epidemic of obesity, but rather the discriminatory practices of sororities in the U.S. (although the thread title doesn't help. :P)

Anyway, I will await moderator input.
