Why are Fweepers so Fat?

[norml]

I was looking at some pics from one of their counterdemonstarations, and I was wondering if you might have any ideas as to why they are so fat?

This also reminds me of a joke I heard.

Q: Why do Fweeper women wear so much makeup and perfume?

A; Because they are ugly and smell bad.

[KG]

1. because they are pigs.

[Lady Freedom]

11. Because they are Repukes or...

because they have weight issues?? There is a fine line here people! :hide:

[Deja Q]

2. Oh, so all liberals are thin and sexy?

:eyes:

[norml]

3. The percentages for thinness and sexiness are much higher for Liberals

if their own photos are any guide.

[Lady Freedom]

15. So I am some sort of mutant Liberal???

[norml]

17. I'm a bit overweight too, however at one of their demonstrations I'd be

in the majority for this.

At any of our demonstrations I've been decidedly in the minority for being overweight.

It's an accurate observation, is it not?

[Lady Freedom]

18. Not really

Here in Missouri it is pretty much 50/50.

[norml]

29. At the NORML rallies in Lincoln Nebraska and in Omaha the only fat people

were me, Ed, and Jack Herer.

The Nebraskan's for Peace rallies are a little plumper, but not by much.

To see some real fatties you've got to go to something like one of the Nebraska Right to Life, or Pro Death Penalty rallies.

[mcscajun]

38. It may be an accurate observation, but the conclusion drawn is not.

Fewer fat folks show up to march...any surprise there?


Check your Fat Prejudice at the door -- there are Plenty of Fat Liberals here.

We don't mind the word, but we DO mind it being used as an insult.

:spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank:

[Lost-in-FL]

7. I don't think so...

So if I register as a Democrat being an independent would that make me thinner...?? :eyes: :sarcasm:

[ContraBass Black]

16. Thin and sexy are not equivalent.

[RevCheesehead]

25. I think I love you.

:blush: did I just say that out loud?

[ContraBass Black]

46. I definitely could use some love.

:D

[RevCheesehead]

48. Here ya go, Sweetie

:loveya::hug::*:hug::loveya:

[mcscajun]

39. You rock!

You really do!

:yourock:

[ContraBass Black]

47. What? Why?

Well, I won't argue with that. Thanks.

[mcscajun]

49. 'cause you 'get it', that's why.

And you're welcome.

[u4ic]

54. *swoons*

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[ContraBass Black]

57. Wow.

I'm just not into stick figures. I didn't think it was that special.

[KamaAina]

4. Two words: fast food.

Would you like some Fweepers with that?

[norml]

6. Here's a couple more Fweeper Fries.

[Arkana]

42. That's "fwies," I believe.

[KamaAina]

5. How do we know that Fweepers invented the toothbrush?

Because if someone else had invented it, it would've been called the "teethbrush"!

[Lady Freedom]

8. as a "fat" yellow dog democrat ...

it is just the way it is.:hide:

[GreenPartyVoter]

26. I am really big. Has nothing to do with my choice of politics, though

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. Lots of Americans are fat...liberal and conservative alike.

We are a greedy, gluttonous society. That and the gene pool. Heaviness happens, it doesn't choose sides.

[progmom]

20. ...

:thumbsup:

[Chicago Democrat]

10. Because they are Pig-stuffing-face with Ill-gotten wealth that they

did nothing or little for or stole.

[norml]

19. My theory, it's part of their hostility to and shutting out of reality.

They hate nature and themselves so naturally they are fat.

[Aristus]

12. Check out the menu of any self-proclaimed Southern-style

"Maw's Home Cookin'" restaurant sometime and get back to me.

[Lady Freedom]

13. Hey Repukes aren't the only one that likes those places!!

:hide:

[Aristus]

14. I like those places, too.

But as an occasional treat, not for three squares a day.

[JimmyJazz]

21. With so much material to choose from when it comes to picking on

freepers, why would you choose weight and looks? I'm sorry, but both Democrats and Republicans come in all shapes and sizes.

[IChing]

24. Why do freepers have two eyes? Are male or female?

Hurtful thread,
I am not over weight, but have good liberal friends that are.

[norml]

30. I'm glad I just got under 240 lbs, however it's true that Fweepers

Are on average much fatter than the average human.

Here's another example...

[mcscajun]

40. Bravo!

:applause:

I am SO tired of fat-bashing sterotypes and "appearance-bashing" in general.

We have enough REAL issues to fight in this country. Can we PLEASE get beyond the superficial?

[crispini]

22. Pass the popcorn.

:popcorn: This thread should be good. :popcorn:

[RevCheesehead]

23. but hold the butter.

I'm a Reubenesque Liberal. :popcorn:

[crispini]

27. LOL!

Extra butter for me. I'm in a "don't care" phase. Next month I'll be in a "care" phase but right now I'm still eating yummy things. :7

[philosophie_en_rose]

28. They only look that way, because of the BAD TASTE.

I don't think that Freepers are fatter than liberals and I don't think that it matters whether a freeper is heavy or not. (Unless they're hypocritical about it by making fun of others).

However, I have noticed that freepers - especially the women - have no taste in clothes. These are people that ensure that lime green is a popular color on the streets. They are the ones depleting the ozone layer with hairstyles of doom from the 1980s.

It's not that they are fat, it's that they look unwell by intentionally bad clothing. It's rampant through income levels. Laura Bush could spend $1 or $2000 and still come up with the same Maria Von Trapp production. Laura Bush is not fat, but she looks kind of disproportionate and I think it's based on her clothing. Coupled with inner ugliness, they simply look bad.

[Missy Vixen]

31. I'm fat, and I'm a liberal

I also wear makeup and a very subtle (and lightly applied) perfume.

Stereotyping is ugly, no matter who engages in it.

Julie

[Lady Freedom]

32. Yeah!!!!

:applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

[mcscajun]

41. Indeed!

We don't do ourselves any good by being judgmental on an appearance basis.

[xmas74]

33. it depends on what area of the country you live in

and your genes. Weight is a fight for me every single day. I have some very heavy people in my family and I have to be careful.

[Balbus]

34. I never knew that Saturdays on DU were for obese-bashing and gay-bashing.

Don't usually come here on the weekends so this is new to me.

[norml]

36. I'm not bashing them for it. I'm just asking "Why are Fweepers so fat?"

On average that is.

[mitchum]

35. Because they're full of shit?

43. Hey I have been every weight under the rainbow

I used to be a model when I was 18-25 (I had friends in the indusrty that roped me in.... I worked my real job too)....... I am now 28 and married and had packed on some weight (allot) now I dropped allot and am in between model skinny and having a hard time shopping (which I was for two years.... I was seriously depressed when 14 didn't fit after being a 2).

I am (by most people's standards... except fashion industry people) very skinny (6), but shit, if that hasn't been the hardest thing to deal with...to feel so judged.

Be sensitive.....we are the same people inside no matter what we weigh

Oh... my husband loooooooved my curves....I may have felt to big, but my husband loved the 38DD's that came with the package. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

[AntiCoup2K4]

44. Guess I'm a Fweeper now too then.........

So SIEG OIL!! and pass the fucking pizza I guess :evilfrown:

[norml]

53. I should've said "Why are so many Fweepers so fat?"

Because they aren't all fat, just most of them.

Of course not all fat people are Fweepers, and not all DUers are thin.

[GirlinContempt]

45. *sigh*

Ok, so this poo-flinging fest is accomplishing WHAT exactly?

[FuzzyThinker]

50. Being fat means one thing "most" of the time.....

and that is people consume more calories everyday than what their body needs .... and considering that people are dying from hunger all over the world.

This unequality isn't right , and shouldn't be acceptable.

[RevCheesehead]

51. nice to see your screen name is accurate.

:eyes: Welcome to DU, I think...

[FuzzyThinker]

52. By the way, I don't get your sig pic ?

[mcscajun]

56. Pass the popcorn, Rev!

:popcorn:

[mcscajun]

55. There are many forms of "overconsumption"

...not all of them are visible. There are many more "sins" that are far worse than being fat.

Victor Buono said it best:
"Some men can sin and conceal it;
they're bandits but no one gets wise.
When I sin my seams will reveal it;
my crime is proclaimed by my size.

Some folks are awful and lawful;
they're loaded with loot but who'd know it?
I try to sneak in a waffle,
and five minutes later I show it.

The fella who sells marijuana
can walk down the street like a saint,
and his sister may seem a madonna
but the vice squad can prove that she ain't.

Since pounds are like crimes,
they can nail me on well over 300 counts
and try me for each pound and jail me.
I hope I'm not fined by the ounce.

I'm guilty of imperfect diet.
My weight shows I'm pizza pie-prone.
I know it's no good to deny it.
Now who wants to cast the first stone?"

When all the inequities of the world are addressed, let me know. In the meantime, attacking fat people simply for being fat is still unacceptable, no matter who does it or why.
