Neb, I gave you a rope and you've hung yourself with it. Erase that last post mate, it'll just makes things worse. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Sorry to hear Denmark sucks. I liked Copenhagen

Caleb, at the risk of stating the obvious, I never suggested that the show wasn't real. I don't know how you read that.

I'm having a go at your defense argument.

Well if you are implying that the show is real but I did not use a quote and was just trying to cover my ass then watch a repeat of it sometime.....if you can handle it without getting offended. It is during the questions from the audience segment and it is adam corrolla who says it.

Yorick, I will speak my opinions when I want to. But I do realize that that post was a bit insulting. But to clarify, I do NOT dislike fat or overweight people. Beyond a certain limit, there is some point where it just gets on my nerves that people let themselves become that huge. Sorry, that's my opinion, if you don't like it you can just leave. Noone's stopping you.
Neb, I didn't say it offended me. I'm not overweight. I said it may have hurt people on the board. Just be mindful of that. Yes it was pretty insulting, and I'd hate to have others leave as a result.

More importantly I'd hate their own self esteem to be damaged. Some of the most wonderful, friendly, funloving people are included in your broad brushstrokes Neb. Hopefully it'll be like water off a ducks back for them though.

I try and act as though those I'm speaking to are in the room with me. Would you really speak your mind so openly if a girl who fit your description was present? What if she ran from the room in tears? How would that make you feel?

Even better what if it were you? Would you want someone saying similar things about you.

"I don't mind Northern Europeans, I'm a little Teutonic myself. What I really can't stand is those inbred Lego-loving Danes. They're so emotionally repressed... oh I'm sorry it's just my opinion"

This is just an example of course, but how would it feel?

Anyhow, no worries. Have a good afternoon/evening mate. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Am I going crazy here?

Caleb, I don't care who said what on any television show! You made an inappropriate comment at a bad time! Who cares where you saw it or heard it! That's not the point!

Humor involves context, timing, and a common point of reference. It was obvious from your later posts that though you claimed "only joking" it was a serious opinion you held. So there was no joke!

Sheesh!
