Thread: A poem about fat people

I mean,...That was PHAT!

Thankyou and goodbye, i've been your host 'Slavagrisha'
No really, Im gonna miss ya.

I want those minutes of my life back.

well.. I will throw in my two cents..

I guess I would be considered fat to most people. I have a little extra weight just hangin around in case I need it.(its Budweisers fault!!! LOL)
I am not offended by the poem, I do, however find it a little childish and unnecessary.. I know its hard sometimes not to stereotype people, but we are all different and we are all the same. Learning to love yourself is the key to being spiritual. I love myself inside and out. Beer gut and all.
Having extra weight to carry around does makes people the brunt of a lot of hurtful comments and jokes. I have friends who are obese and they really take things like that to heart and it hurts them.
I find your little poem humurous to some extent. But there is a time and place for everything. I think these forums are not the right place for a poem like that. People such as myself come here to find comraderie and friendship and to seek knowledge. If I wanted to look at silly distasteful poems I am sure I could find them on other forums or websites.
I do think people need to have a sense of humor about things. A good laugh makes a person feel better physically and emotionally. But this poem seems to be a sad attempt at humor and a thinly veiled insult.

Just my opinion. Sorry for rambling..

This is a forum 'for' children? I disagree. The idea of minor's playing around with occult without fully understanding, or having experence in 'life' is somewhat worrying. So it's illeagal to sell tobaco and alcohol to minors, but it's fine for them to read about types of satanism?

Why highlght and mispell the 'Grisha' in my name?

Alas, doomed to censorship.

Im not saying minors should not be here, i just dont think certain topics are appropite for certain age groups. Would i want my 13 year old daughter learning about different aspects satanism? Being influenced by rock bands or whatnot then thinking satanism is 'cool'?

I've noticed there is 'nothing' in the Buddism section, but yet there seems to be alot of posts regarding satanism. And so picture this... An overweight middle aged man comes onto these forums seeking a wholesome discussion about buddism, and finds 'fat jokes' and a well stocked satanism forum, do you think he will take this site serously?

I must apologise in advance if you find this insulting to tis site, i am sorry, as i am in debt, but im just trying to make a point.

What do you have against Satanism? You're saying that you would feel just fine about a teenager going into the Buddhist section and learning all about Buddhism, but Satanism is wrong and should have an age limit?

It can evoke a sense of fear in a big majority of people, i think people can use this as a tool or a wall. Wouldent 'individualism' be more suiting? But some kids may not think this, maybe they want the 'satan' as it were, to help them become powerfull, or sell their soul to satan? Nobody owns their own soul anyway, let alone selling it to an 'ideal' that has been passed down and used to imidate.

I dont have a problem with satanism, it doesent interest me. What intrests me is how the image of Baphomet has been abused. And how fat jokes seem to be acceptable here. Wouldent this be a place where some people might be looking to get away from the day to day jokes like that?

It has such a bad reputation...
But, I understand it. And i am a Catholic!
But, honestly, the few satanists that I have met don't really seem to have their act together. The Setians on the other hand seem to be very together.

Don't get me wrong. I have study it a bit. But, the official Satanic Church seems to be the stuff of Hollywood. Which is okay, I suppose. But, it seems more like role playing. If I am wrong, please forgive me,...oh, wait,...that is not the satanic style...Okay,...uh,... Try and understand where I am coming from.
Most of the Satanic folks I have met are drug addicts... seriously. Which is odd because I know for a fact that La Vey spoke out adamantly against drugs.
