If someone wants to compulsively hit themselves in the head with a hammer, let them. It's just thinning the herd.

If you remove the sarchasm from the headline, it is true.

I don't think I can handle the ignorance that's bound to show up in this one.

Damn chasms in sars. Who gives a fvck what a person does as long as it doesnt hurt anyone else.

I guess that this finally puts an answer to the question, "when did imbecility become a point of view?"

Tuesday May 14th 2002 -- mark your calendars, "it's a red letter day!"

Damn liberals. Starved Africans must be spinning in there graves.

Anorexia is a victimless crime.

"My dad makes fun of me all the time because he thinks I'm so big. He always goes, 'jeez, Lisa, why don't you run more in track? Why don't you lose some more weight? Why don't you get down to your sister's size?' and he makes me feel really bad."

Jeez, Lisa, why don't you tell your father to feck off?

It doesn't matter how thin you are if you got a fugly face.

-"It's not what you're doing, so much as the idiotic way you're doing it."

That headline isn't funny at all. Eating disorders are f-ed up and sad.

The irony of the statement is off too, as I agree with the idea of alchoholism (or other forms of drug abuse) being lifestyle choices. A choice I've made and am perfectly happy with. A lifestyle choice that unlinke anorexia is actually fun! A lifestyle choice that some of the world's greatest leaders have made as well.

Alcoholism is more then a hobby damnit! I've devoted my life to it!

Something else too -- I'm getting pretty tired of women whining about this. When did women ever jump through hoops for fat guys? or how about the balding? or short? they don't. So why is it that whenever women do the stupidest things for the sake of what they think men want they must be considered "victims"?

If I were to break my own legs for the sake of stretching them -- so I can be taller -- people would call me the biggest dumbass on earth, and rightly so.

Ahh! I used to live in that town... Scary indeed.

So does that make my chonic masterbation a life style? I was hoping to kill myself. Guess I need a new hobby

Eating disorders are stupid.

People talk about anorexia as if it's some sort of disease. Well it isn't. It's just the result of a weak, pathetic mind.

Man, I hate them anorexics...they take up half a perfectly good airplane seat that might have been used by a whole person!!!

They should all be rounded up and put in camps and not be allowed to leave until they're up to at least 120 lbs!

Ummm...they're skinny! Skinny little farks! I hate them! I hate them all!!! DIE! DIE! DIE!!!

God, this just isn't as much fun as the fattie threads...

One thing that has always confused me is the whole idea that men want stickly women. Bullshiat. Women want stickly women. Maybe these women should stop reading Vogue and Cosmo (magazines for women) and pickup a copy of Penthouse. While the wank models of the world certainly provide body goals that may be unrealistic for some, they are certainly more meaty than any of the TV stars that they are whining about.

more evidence that girls should masterbate more. Then even more than that.

I feel fat!

From the "Anorexic Nation" site mentioned in the report:

"1. If you aren't thin you aren't attractive.

2. Being thin is more important than being healthy.

3. You must buy clothes, cut your hair, take laxatives, starve yourself, do anything to make yourself look thinner.

4. Thou shall not eat without feeling guilty.

5. Thou shall not eat fattening food without punishing oneself afterwards.

6. Thou shall count calories and restrict intake accordingly.

7. What the scale says is the most important thing.

8. Losing weight is good/ gaining weight is bad.

9. You can never be too thin.

10. Being thin and not eating are signs of true will power and success."

That is some effed up shiat.

Well, you can't expect a crazy person to know they are crazy....

new way to this lifestyle: barf-running

GIRL: Mom, I'm finished with dinner.
MOTHER: You'll eat your buffalo and like it, young lady.

Hahaha! This was a very special episode of "Boston Public" about a month ago...

...come to think of it, *all* episodes of "Boston Public" are very special...

...come to think of it, last night's "Boston Public" was about being too *fat*...

Misinformant:

Last night was about not killing people, not so much about being fat, although not being fat was included.

Not to split hairs or anything.

But on anorexia, grab a sandwich, and choke it down. Attention females: RIBS ARE NOT SEXY TO GUYS UNLESS COVERED IN B-B-Q SAUCE!!!

Mbcuervo
Oh! You're right! I forgot.

Last night was the very special episode about the disease that makes you want to eat your own hair.

Does anyone remember the scene in Ab Fab where Patsy and Edina are talking about how after death models reach their prime weight? When their graves are dug up by archaeologists, they're just bones and bumps...

Sorry, this just reminded me of thet.

*in further news, mastubation is now a competetive sport...*

I'll quote my favorite reporter tag line "give me a break!" Mbcuervo I think I, and many guys, agree with you , women with a fully visible skeleton aren't attractive *waits for twig girls to run around crying, ducks*. In fact, I think fark posted an article saying fashion wants less skinny (think Cindy Crawford) girls now, instead of twiggy mctwiggersons(think whatever plays Ally McBeal). *ducks again* Oh well, just my 2 cents...are mine GET AWAY!

(excuse anything offensive, long day very exhusted)

I have to admit, I don't find women attractive if they're very obese. On the other hand, I think it's even LESS attractive to have an eating disorder. Having an eating disorder not only means you're ugly, it also means you're nuts! I like my women to have at least a little meat on them.

The bigger the cushion, the better the pushin'.

Masturbation a competitive sport?

I know two guys who had a contest, a la Seinfeld--only it went in reverse. They were trying to see who could whack it the MOST within a one week period. The one who lost gave up because he couldn't get it up anymore--he was bleeding too badly.

You know, I used to think the whole "guys don't like anorexic girls" thing would be a good argument, but it's like a personal issue, how they feel about themselves or some shiat. They think that it's right to be skinny as all hell, and it's wrong to have any fat at all. I don't think others' views of them matter in the least.

Alcoholocaust -- that was a relief to the other guy in the contest, whose "tennis elbow" was just starting to kill him...

KingB: Alcoholism and Drug ABUSE are problems, although I agree that drug USE is not. The term "abuse" refers to "drug use to the point of damaging your body", which is why alcoholism is different from drinking, it is drinking that is out of control. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you actually meant your statement in this way. P.S. Great point about Penthouse, etc., women in porn are never stick-thin, so why is it somehow agreed upon as the standard for beauty?

And to all those who may say this is simply survival of the fittest, and these misguided girls aren't hurting anyone but themselves, haven't you considered they don't really know any better. These girls have been practically brainwashed by popular media, during a time of their lives they are learning who and what to be, they may not have the benefit of experience other's may have. If a child compulsively hits his head with a hammer, do we let him, no, we teach him why it is bad for him. And if you still aren't convinced, in the coldest fashion possible, these girls are a drain on society (they are hurthing more than themselves) by using vital health care and eventually, burial resources.

"Women want stickly women"

Not if you have a father like mine. Went through a breakup once that depressed me so much I lost 15 lbs...leaving me at 98lbs. My Dad came to visit and told me he was "Glad I took off that 'extra' weight'

Men like this are real, and they're everywhere.

cool i never had a hobby before

more padding for my resume

proof that eyball candy to one person repulses the next and self image can get messed up and unrealisitc:

giant breast fettish

chubby chasers

eating disorders (I'm so fat)

body building

Jerry Springer

Big Bottom, Big Bottom, talk about Mudflaps, my girl's got 'em. Big Bottom drives me out of my mind... How can I leave this.. behind?

Ew. Went to the sites mentioned there (not going to link, if you want to find them it isn't very hard). They really seemed like the work of very good trolls to me. Very sick stuff, and really potentially very harmful when you consider the state of mind someone with an eating disorder is likely to be in.

And now a verbalization of physical appearance, as seen by a senior student, when looking at the "popular" girls in his class: "Could I be anymore orange!"

Boy howdy, if it's not anorexia(dumbed down sp?) it's being the orangest friggin' perosn in the whole fArking school. My goodness what possesses a girl, or if this horror be true, a guy to tan themselves orange when they have the base skin color of a piece of paper? Heck, some are so bad that my one friend askes one girl why she "pays for cancer". Of course it'll be funny to see when the dried out wrinkled skill comes to bite them in the ass 10 years from now...

Yeah, I'm glad to have "meat on my bones," and to be a very (physically) healthy person, but I can't say that I've never thought myself fat, or overweight. I might be a bit overweight, but I'm certainly not obese. And that's something I have to tell myself from time to time.

I'm not on my way to an eating disorder, but I can understand where others are coming from. It is most definitely an illness, mental turned physical. And it's not good.

Some of you have got to be the most hypocritical people on the net. In one breath you say that the answer to obesity is to stop eating, in the next you say "have a sandwich" because someone is "too thin." Men and Women alike sit and salivate over Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Anniston, Sarah Michelle Gellar, etc. They are on virtually every channel and magazine cover. Jebus! Is it any wonder that girls and guys out there have eating disorders? Anorexia and Bulimia are very rarely about food. They often go very deeper, caused by depression, self hatred, abuse, etc. Anorexia isn't going to be cured by giving someone a sandwich. Certainly not when they are consistently told that they are not good enough. Their "eating disorder" is often the only power these people have in their lives. You may not agree with their choice, but it might be all they have. Your biatching about it isn't going to change the way they think or feel, so save your breath.

Trowshep -- are you a man?

Seriously, I can't think of a woman I've met who didn't have an untold number of self-image problems. The funny thing is that the self-image distortion go both ways. It's too fat/too thin, butt too small/butt too big, breasts too small/too big/saggy, fat legs/skinny legs, and so on and so forth.

You tell them nothing's wrong and they won't believe you. I'm starting to think that they just like to complain.

And to those of you with the flamethrowers: of course I don't mean all women without exception. Just most of them.

hobby? I thought it was a nationality

My old gf thought she was fat. I kept telling her she wasn't, she was beatiful and all that good stuff. She diets anyway, loses 15 pounds. I say "You look great". She says "So you were lying before?" and it just goes downhill from there. People get so obsessed about weight. I wish they wouldn't.

Kr@t3r, that's really sad. I think girls get obsessed about weight because some jerk in their past put them down for being heavy. When I was 17, my bf at the time put me down for weighing a hefty 120. I'm 5'5" and a DDD cup. I practically killed myself getting down to about 112 and I looked like a cartoon. It took me a long time to get over that negative self-image crap, even after we had broken up. I'm 31 now and about 160 now and I've never been happier, thanks to a very special man who is absolutely crazy about the curves. He makes me feel like a goddess every single day. Can you imagine how the x-bf would have made me feel for weighing as much as I do now? Scary.

Chrisnys: Yeah, but judging from your picture, your hair probably adds at least twenty pounds, and maybe thirty-five when wet.

A cheap and effective cure:

EddieCochran: hey, I'm a child of the 80's, what can I say? I wish I had my senior picture han-day. You'd really get a good laugh out of that one.

By the way, my insecurity has to ask the question, were you busting on me or was that a playful jab?

Jab.
