So killing someone because they called you fat is self defence?

it certainly is.   it is unprovoked, violent aggression, it strikes at our dignity and humanity.  As I said, I would not hesitate and the scandal would force the state to address the rights of the disabled  to be free from persecution, social exclusion and discrimination..

They certainly can and do move on civil rights issues.  Abusing an obese person is no more acceptable than using the N word for Black people.  The state has an obligation to foster affirmative action for the obese to end the discrimination.  It is not acceptable to discriminate on the basis of disability  caused  by deliberate Statecraft  policies of exclusion.  As I said, I would kill a person  where they stood for abusing me for  being obese.

I have reported you again.
Not that i think anything will happen.

Just a few days rest would be sufficient for me.

1. I don't have an issue with him defending his rights.

2. I do have a problem with one member making death threats against another.

I've been on the receiving end of death threats once before, and it's not very pleasant. I think we should have zero tolerance for such terrorism on this board.

One thing that everybody should appreciate about obesity is that it doesn't go away immediately. It can take 6 months of concerted effort to get back to normal, and one misguided comment can wreck that effort.

Abusing someone because they are obese is a death threat.

This is the only terrorism

Any act of aggression against a persons humanity my be defended by such means.

No direct threat of death was made

An implied threat was made as to what the response of unprovoked abuse would be were it made directly to the person being abused.

Obesity is the fault of the state, it is not curable except by the restoration of civil and economic rights

it is a direct consequence of Thatcherite social discrimination and wealth distribution by the state.

Direct personal threats and abuse were made to a person because of Obesity.

You would not want to argue your position in court.

The law says a person may defend their person, that is not a threat, it is the law, it is not terrorism to repeat that right - it is the law.

To imply an Obese person may not defend themselves in line with the provisions of the law from unprovoked attack on their person makes you a terrorist and an asshole.

Obesity is the fault of the state who promote openly the targeting and destruction of people they identify for one reason or another as the weakest link.  People they have dehumanized to the point they deny their very right to defend themselves from personal attack to prove they are not the weakest link, but the state promoted the persecution of Aboriginals, black people, chinese, ugly old ect the list goes on.
