5. Because
they are raised with mushrooms.

In the sub-cellar.

No light.

They're one step away from being sightless fish.

Wait.

You ever see McClellan's eyes?

7. Interesting question
I'd imagine it comes from excessive consumption, little to no time spent outdoors, especially in nature, no exercise, lots of time under florescent lights and in front of computer screens and televisions. Bad diet, no vitamins, lots of sugar and coffee.

10. The same reason ______s are shiftless, and ______s are conniving ...
... it's called bigotry.

Bigotry against fat people is still socially acceptable.

A couple of guys in the Bush cabal are overweight, and evil = fat?

Come on. Most people think evil = fat because TV tells them so.

--p!

To say nothing of the fact that I am not only white and fat, I'm short and bald.

28. I have a great sense of humor, thanks
>since when are fat white guys a protected class.<

Since when is it better to make fun of someone else's appearance, instead of discussing something much more substantive, such as their lack of insight, their lack of character, and their complete lack of humanity?

Will you react the same way when I make fun of something you find painful or objectionable?

13. agreed: Perle, Wolfwitz and Rumsfeld are NOT pear shaped fat guys.
I tire of the need to portray the overweight as bad or evil.

16. Thank you
Only on DU, that bastion of diversity....

Is it okay to categorize a whole group of people by their size and race and decide they are, therefore, evil.

I come from a long line of pasty white people. I'm one myself. I'm fat, and that little melanoma scare a few years back assures that I am indeed pasty and WHITE. My natural color, you see? But guess what? I'm not evil.

Some people are just clueless and always will be, but the sad thing is they pat themselves on the back for how kind they are to "minorities" while spewing the same garbage the other side is famous for. What bullshit.

I am coming to the conclusion that it is all just a huge game. We have no moral absolutes either. We can't claim the high ground. It's about power and anything we can do to grab it back it okay. I should have known better. We are no better than they are. I give up!

21. Hey Grannie .......
Edited on Wed Apr-19-06 09:45 AM by Husb2Sparkly
It was a JOKE.

You know .... J-O-K-E

I fall into the very physical category I described.

You might try laughing a bit more.

Its healthy.

So is self-deprecation.

I am a fat, pear-shaped white guy.

Okay?

Got it?

Sheesh

edited to add this as proof:

29. And if I had written
something about blacks or Jews would it have been a joke? No, it would have been racism.

Sorry, I don't see the humor. What I see is similarities between this site and freeperville and it hurts.

30. One last thought..
First, you don't look like a pasty fat guy. You look like a large, tan, white man in good physical shape.

But here are things I have learned about fat white folks from DU brothers and sisters in the last few mintutes. Some joke:

Why are evil people often pear shaped, fat, white guys?

Ugh! I will NEVER look at pear-shaped people
it's like they never see the sun.......

or their reflection in a mirror...

Evil warps their bodies (with a picture of the Star Trek Emperor)

….I normally find them physically repellent

they are raised with mushrooms.

In the sub-cellar.

No light.

They're one step away from being sightless fish.

jealousy makes one do bad things..revenge for being pear shaped

I'd imagine it comes from excessive consumption, little to no time spent outdoors, especially in nature, no exercise, lots of time under florescent lights and in front of computer screens and televisions. Bad diet, no vitamins, lots of sugar and coffee.

you forgot oily

Yes or as we say down south, greasy.



Have at it, you all. Hope it makes you feel superior.

31. Granny ........ ?
Check your facts .... I didn't use the word 'pasty' ..... why? Cuz I'm not.

And in my OP, what I listed were physical attributes I also claim as my own.

I bet you never watch comedy shows, do you?

Like SNL where the black male actors spoof black females.

Or like Don Rickles, who lambasted everyone.

Humorlessness ...... mmmm

14. They weren't at one time. But then, maybe the fact that they turn
into pear shaped, fat, white guys might be a deterrence?

Ann, Michele, Mary, the trim, unholy, evil female trinity.

17. because the pudgy pear shape is the statistical norm
...for middle-aged white guys, and much of the power elite comes from that demographic.

I'm a not-wealthy not-powerful not-evil middle aged white guy trying very hard to avoid the pear shaped thing. The last 20 pounds is nearly impossible to deal with (strength training plus 45 min cardio training 4x/week makes it disappear VERY slowly,) but at least my waist is smaller than my chest, which I'm kinda smug about ;)

18. I can pick out repugs from 100 yards - male or female - wonder why?
Edited on Wed Apr-19-06 09:39 AM by Justitia
I don't know about specific characteristics, but it seems I really can differentiate them based on the totality of their features.

Of course the freeper types are easiest to spot, but I can usually discern all manner of repuke.

I'm sure there have been studies on this somewhere, just like studies on how the conservative brain differs biologically from the liberal brain.

As a corollary, I have NEVER been physically attracted to conservative men - even before I actually knew they were conservative. I normally find them physically repellent, and then when they open their mouths, it's cemented.

Dem guys are the sexiest men anywhere - physically and otherwise. They are smart, funny, witty and wise. Their physical bodies are manifestations of their superior internal systems. And even when they aren't particularly good-looking, they are always more attractive and magnetic to be with.

And who could deny their charisma??? Hello, Bill Clinton!

Golf nerds are almost invariably repub, and they follow the herd like no one else -- same hat, same shorts, same polo shirt...

what delusional bullshit.
My ex is still the best looking man I've ever been with- and I dated a model who wasn't too shabby.
My ex is a Byronic looking sort, and yes a republican, albeit of the llibertarian stripe. It's patently absurd to claim you can tell repubs from others from 100 yards.

39. I can usually spot them. Some of us are able to sense things unspoken
I've found that conservatives.. well they usually look.. conservative. It's a demeanor, and a way of relating to the world. I'm never surprised to find out somene is either liberal or conservative. It's a vibe you get. I do understand that some people on here are going to scream about your post... but some of us have a sixth sense that gives us the ability to sense things about people. Just as I always can spot a European tourist.. it's something in their haircuts, their sunglasses, their demeanor. Some people, like us, are just more in tune with subtleties....

23. You are culturally myopic.
You see the form of evil shithead in charge of the US government. Other cultures have their own evil looks that don't involve ties, white men, lapel flags, or that christian preacher hair cut but are as recognizable to them.

24. What about
curvy, slim, black women? Can you name one of those?

None of the muggers that I've encountered have been either fat nor white. Are they not evil?

Why does evil have to wear a racial face? Is not this assumption racist in, and of, itself?

Just asking.

26. Alfred Jarry a late 19th author
Is regarded as a theatrical precursor to the Absurdist, Dada and Surrealist art movements.

He wrote a play called Ubu Roi, which became a part of his Ubu Cycle

From memory, a quotation from the play is

All hail Ubu, Master of Phynance
Sometime King of Poland, of Argonne, of France!

I can't think of this second.

"Evil" wears many faces and bodies. Too bad. It'd be easier to spot 'em if they came in a standard model.

34. You left out Santa Claus ... one of the worst ...
Santa kidnaps children for his North Pole sweatshops, where he makes knockoffs of designer fashions. Since he takes the "bad children", he usually gets away with it. All those "visit with Santa" sessions in the stores are the starting point for compiling his lists of each year's victims to be "harvested".

36. I have long asserted that we are ruled by old white pasty men..
usually with non-descript brown or grey hair in plastic 'do. The pasty white young men become the pasty white old men. Devoid of any spark, or sexuality, they're boring as hell. That's probably why so many of them have to pay for sex... I mean, who'd sleep with them?
