reminds me of the south park episode a few weeks back in which cartman mercilessly laughs at a midget.

there really are A LOT of cartman's out there, mostly teens with no compassion or sensitivity for people. Zer00 was one too so I don't really understand why that kind of behavior's being celebrated in his appreciation thread. It's cruelty for the sake of cruelty from the safety of the internet, and shouldn't be encouraged. Cowards.

They are cowards, but at the same time, why let them get to you? The fact remains that people think mean thoughts all the time. The anonymous posting just makes them public. I just accept mean-spirited people and ignore them. They're not adding to anything and are roughly just wasting everyone's time.

whoa this is your first hype post?!?!?!

1-welcome

LOL I don't think the internet amplifies anything. If anything, I take remarks on the internet less seriously than those in 'real life'.

 

[The Spawn]

It amplifies a lot of things actually...

welcome to the hype. Prepare for war.

I think anyone who says they can shrug off insults and not let that stuff get to them is a liar. Verbal abuse, personal attacks, all that stuff really does sting like hell and is hard to forget. She should just ignore the ******s online and go on taking care of her child though. That's what's most important.

You can only ignore those people for so long before it takes a toll on you...

So basically, she'll overfeed her kid and shrug off making sure the kid does some exercise so her kid will turn into a smaller version of herself

 

[kainedamo]

I too know the cruelty of Internet bullying

 

[DorkyFresh]

omg...

...let the cruel comments begin.

 

[terry78]

Usually the ones that post anonymously are like little kids, so I don't take it with too large a salt grain.

How do you know that the people who are cruel on the internet aren't just generally cruel everywhere, all the time?

the woman was so fat and unheathy she didnt know she had a baby inside her.......she deserves it.stupid fat *****...I have been called compasionate even by the people i bring down on occasion but thats because i dont make fun of people with problems they have no control over,I also HATE when that sort of thing happens,even looking at your post and seeing the word midget(i know you dont mean anything by it im just sayin) kind bugs me.Its not cool to make fun of the handicapped or disabled but if the person decided it be fun to flip a car of a ramp with no safty precatuions and ended up in a wheel chair then id have less compassion then for somone who was hit by a drunk driver and ended up in the same situiation.This fat ass ate herself into a gelatinas state and let some fa(fat admirer) get her pregnant....which part isnt her fault? none and she deserves what she gets.

''The thing that bothered me most was, people assumed because I am overweight, I'm going to be a bad mom,'' Branum says. ''And that is not one little bit true.''

I have little to no sympathy for this woman. she spent the 9 months prior to the birth completely unaware of the pregnancy due to her own obesity and consequently did god-knows-what to her body (drinking, smoking, etc.). she's already a bad mom.

Isn't that impossible? Like what if they had a kid or dealt with kids, would they be cruel to them? Well I don't know how jerks online are in real life and realy don't care anyway.

Such as?

 

[Addendum]

The most that saying the word "midget" gets is a kick in the shins.

The most that saying the n-word gets is an ass kicking.

or a forced apology on Letterman.

We can say we were part of those internet message board insults..

I agree 100%.

At least she didn't eat the baby...

One has to keep things in perspective too. The kid's fine. There are worse situations like teen pregancy and rape, etc. more serious than this person's weird mistake. It deserves acknowledgement that being overweight can have its consequences beyond poor health, yes, but vehement personal attacks? I don't think so.

 

[hey yo its sean]

Hah. Fat ass. Obesity disgusts me.

I criticize people in real life about as much as I do on the internet. So there's one case at least. I haven't had a kid yet though. I do offer cigarettes to any kids walking by though, does that count?
