    It's not funny or acceptable. I'm fat and I hate being made fun of because of my weight. I have web called every name in the book. It hurts more than they think it does.

    Monkey see, monkey do syndrome. Someone who can't feel good or popular or funny any other way (the head monkey) will pick on an easy target....start all the followers in his or her group (the monkeys in the cage) laughing (because THEY don't want to get picked on, if they don't laugh!)....and next thing you know, you the whole cage is just howling with laughter. Hoo-hoo-hoo-ha-ha-ha. (scratches armpit).

    People tend to justify their own actions too easily while condeming and ridiculing others.

    Because some thin people think we deserve it for our lack of self-control. Or so they say.

    Because they are trying to justify making fun of someone to cover their own inadequacies.

    Jerks.

    People are insecure about themselves that they find pleasure in degrading other people. Or even just have something to talk about. It's dumb. I don't make fun of people ever and cringe when other friends do.

    Society encourages a policy of nailing down the hammer that sticks out, yet wants us to be individuals. Contradictions. Either way, being obsessed with being too heavy is the new thing.

    because the majority of people are fat and if you made fun of anyone else you'd be picking on a minority.

    Actually overweight people are not the majority in this country. We just seem that way because we take up more space. See, even a fat girl makes fun of us!

    well that's true now, but it's because that was the case for a few years some 8-12 years ago. So you're right.

    It makes the people making fun of the fat person feel superior in some way. It's my experience that they have low self esteem when they pick on the fat girl.
