    So, for the past couple of years it has become socially acceptable to heckler smokers for there bad habit.

    Why is it still taboo to not heckle fat people ? More of them die than smokers so it would seem.

    I was out to eat a while ago and there was a smoker at the table and an obese person. I thought it was funny that one of my mates was giving out to the smoker telling them, "don't you see that you are killing yourself?", but my mate said nothing to the fat person...

    Anyways..

    How do you feel? Will it be another decade before it becomes ok to heckle fat people or will it never be ok?

    *MODS INSERT A POLL PLEASE. Yes or No. Thanks*

    think you'll find 100% of fat people die.. And 100% of smokers.. and 100% Non-smokers even..



    ...that is everyone except Shane MacGowan

    Yes they should. I'm sick of inhaling their fatness and putting on weight because of it.

    How about heckling nobody, or is that too much to ask ?

    Everybody has their hang ups and the hecklers probably have theri own issues they could probably sort out instead of being ignorant bolloxes.

    Maybe we should follow this fascism to its logical conclusion and send all smokers and fat people to the gas chambers. We could build a master race of non smoking thin people.

    I have heard of a smoker being heckled by the way.

    Oh one of them....

    When I was a barman we used to serve food out in the beer garden on sunny days.

    And the non smokers would be complaining to me about the smokers outside :rolleyes:

    I bet your friend waves their hands about and does the fake cough too

    Where are these smokers being heckled?

    I think what you're really asking is when will it be socially acceptable to abuse smaller/weaker people publically. If you want to bully people, you can do that now, just be prepared for the consequences of doing it to the wrong person who then caves your face in.

    If you are a fat smoker you will get heckled on the double. I'm a skinny non smoker so I'm safe thank god, this heckling sounds dangerous.

    Be warned: The OP is currently preparing a devastating "lol bet you're all fat" rebuttal... :eek:

    Passive smoking affects other peoples health and its not okay to heckle someone for smoking (unless they're deliberately blowing it in your face). Someone else overeating has no effect on you, so you don't get to bully them to make yourself feel better.

    How do you know the fat guy you are heckling isn't a powerlifter?

    How about instead of heckling smokers and fat people for something that they are struggling with, we help and encourage them to change?

    I think you'll find that most people who are fat or are smokers, don't actually want to be

    How about letting nosy gimps shove their encouragement up their respective arses and let people enjoy an aul smoke or a bit of cake in peace.

    Sure lets stand at the top of a hill and heckle some wheelchair people, if they are fat, smoke, deaf, blind in one eye, a midget and some sort of Spanish, then all the better!

    I'm not exactly skinny but I'm no whale either. I also smoke.

    If I was heckled for either, I'd find it hilarious, probably die laughing. Damn clogged arteries

    And I bet she's just thrilled that this is such a fascinating topic of conversation that HR told the whole office, and then that you found it so exciting you had to tell the internet.

    I'd love to approach management in that place with something confidential.
