That must be a special place that the reporter was reporting from? To report a flat tire? Our reporters have much more meaning full things to report.
"Meaningful"? I think I'm pretty lucky I live in an area where the "big" news consists of someone reporting a stolen bicycle, updates on a two-block sewer project (that one actually made the front page), and an elderly woman calling the police to report loud people in her neighborhood at 9 pm.

It's actually a refreshing change to open the paper on Monday and NOT see the weekend's body count, lol.

sigh......why you feel like it's ok to bash fat people is beyond me. I've seen plenty of skinny, selfish, judgmental people litter too! :facepalm:

What is this projecting for? You said skinny... why are you bashing proportionate people! How dare you!? Skinny is an insult. People can't help their metabolisms! Shame.

Seriously, I'm starting to get tubby. And when I get fat I'll be fat. Sorry my description was accurate. The person was FAT. I'm kinda tubby, and someone else may be skinny. What. The. Hell.

........... As far as the fat thing goes, people tend to relate someone being obese with a lack of self control/laziness. Sometimes that assumption is 100% correct. Sometimes, it's a condition and totally false. In this instance, the person was lazy AND fat, making them a pretty easy target for being called a slob.

I just don't enjoy people bashing other people... did we enjoy being bashed as nasty, stinky, stupid, low class cigarette smokers? it is not our place to judge others. not that i am perfect, but I always try to keep that in mind. I'm just sayin..........

Shame is a good motivator. If fat was cool despite the health implications we wouldn't even be having this discussion. I'm sure people with nutritional problems, that are really skinny as a result, get accused of being on a certain drug. Doesn't mean they're not skinny. I wasn't trying to bash her for her weight. That's her problem. But I'm not going to carry on as if a fat person sitting in a parking lot stuffing her face with individually wrapped candies wasn't what I saw.
