You literally mocked her for her BMI just now. So you absolutely did judge something inherent about her. Or are you one of those nutty "anyone can be thin" people?
Also, Shecky Magazine is another comedy source.
You've provided two comedy sources to "prove" your claim and insulted someone for their BMI. You are not here for serious discussion.
You didn't even tell me what I supposedly made my mind up about.
I see, it's okay to make fun of someone's body image as long as they eat Twinkies.
Because she would definitely be thin if she didn't do that. That's how everything works.
Or maybe you're just an intolerant person.
She would still very likely be overweight if she slimmed down and you could still make fun of her BMI.
Or is it only okay to make fun of people's weight in specific circumstances? If so, what circumstances make it okay to mock other people's traits?
Would any of those circumstances be "a discussion where I am expected to be taken seriously?"
You have yet to answer any of my questions. Again a sign that you are not here seriously.
That is a lie. I gave you many opportunities to give actual evidence, which you did not provide. You gave me a comedian whose weight you made fun of, showing you are neither serious nor tolerant.
And it doesn't change the fact that you have not answered any of my questions.
I also just looked at your comment history and see that you're right-wing, which explains a lot.
I'm labeling you as right wing because of the right-wing things you post:
This is you saying empathy is bad, a very right-wing position to take:
And that's just on the first couple of pages.
If you don't want people to call you right-wing, don't praise capitalism, denigrate the poor and be against empathy.
Yes, I get that you're a libertarian who claims not to be right-wing.
That was not what was on my mind. Stop lying.
Like I would click the link of someone who feels it's appropriate to lie to me about what's in my own mind.
Why you believe gaslighting me about what is in my own mind will work, I don't know. But do continue, "gadfly."
I have no idea what you're talking about. Is this some weird new attempt at lying or gaslighting?
Once again, I have no idea what you're talking about, and since you won't answer any questions, I doubt I'll ever know.
Ah, back to gaslighting.
And another lie.
Once again, I'm not going to click on your links.
I'm not particularly interested in what someone who repeatedly lies about me feels I will appreciate.
I also don't care what someone who repeatedly lies about me thinks will enrich my life.
