Would it have made you happier to lose it? Well, considering that my opposition in this debate is not the usual assortment of random Internet douchebags complying thoroughly to GIFT, but the 5'11" size 14 woman in question, then I guess what I'm really sad about is the fact that the debate's even there. I regard myself as what might be referred to as a Tog 14 feminist, that is to say, I worry about this shit in the abstract but I rarely do a damn thing about it in reality, considering that my entire capacity of givingashitedness in this regard is easily cancelled out by one newstand selling tabloids (a similar thing goes for environmental issues), let alone the rest of society. I suppose I would be happier, because I like to think that there are reasonable people on this forum who don't necessarily blithely state an opinion just to conform to either a) socially accepted 'common sense' or b) the opinions of others on this forum, so if you'd all said "yeah, she's fat", she'd in all likelihood have a point. As it is, a woman who, frankly, I find damn attractive on every level (and believe me, this beggar does try to choose) thinks she's fat. And that's terrible.

Clothing size really isn't a good way of determining if someone is overweight It's all the data I have. In any event, it's interesting to see that absolutely no-one at all seems to have even said "a little overweight". Seems like I win the straw poll. Which is kinda sad, actually.

stuck-up girls who think that all guys everywhere are attracted to them and actually get offended when guys they consider not up to their standards don't think they're hot. Protip: "I just wouldn't" is not an argument that ends this debate, ever.

OK, so I'm having this debate elsewhere, and I'm not gonna convince the opposition on this, but I could do with knowing that I'm right. So here's the situation: a woman, 5'11" tall, UK size 14 (US size 12) - on the linguistic scale between "skinny" and "obese", where do you place her?

Anyone know what it says at the bottom? Apparently it says "The U.S.A. will save European culture from destruction" in what is presumably very sarcastic Dutch. Also, did someone say Nazi superweapons? ...the Landkreuzer P1500 Monster, with 800mm cannon, which never got out of the design stage because much smaller prototype tanks had issues with speed, ground clearance and the way the tank tracks smashed perfectly usable roads. Apparently, the Nazis also looked into sending an expedition to Tibet at one point to investigate the possibility of a hollow Earth. It's usually an easy slur to say that dictatorships are mentally ill, but really, the Nazis were totally fucking mental, which is essentially why they were never going to win WW2.

Yeah, that'll be inconspicuous. It's Mitt Romney's campaign touring vehicle, so yeah, pretty inconspicuous.

Unless you buy into the WWII conspiracy theories, there really was no alternative to the US getting involved. After all, Germany did declare war on us. On December 11th, 1941. Also, they made this poster. Apparently, Americans were a bunch of racists who were run by nasty Jews. Contradiction? What contradiction?

I'm not sure if I'm gonna believe that. You do claim to be a "perverted, lying freak." And creepy. Don't forget creepy.

In short. He died because everyone was too terrified of going into his room without orders. Of course, if he hadn't imposed that atmosphere of terror to that degree, someone might have assassinated him anyway.

I heard a funny story about the Soviet Union once- a bunch of party hacks started applauding at the end of some luminary's speech. And then the party bosses all filed out, forgetting to stop the applause. The audience thought it a test, or maybe they were too scared to stop, so they kept clapping to an empty room for hours. Eventually someone important came and stopped them, and one of the audience members thanked him, saying he'd saved their lives. They would have clapped themselves to death. That's what North Korea is like, I think (although we don't know). That actually sounds more like North Korea than the Soviet Union. Which is, of course, not to say that the Soviet Union didn't fuck things up. They fucked things up enormously, in fact.

Today I learned that people don't read all posts.
Also something about purple eyes.

He wasn't criticizing optimism. He was criticizing the fact that your original post made no sense. Actually, he was criticising yo' momma's ass. <flamewar>

Well, the site's already thrown up a page explaining that the rest of the photo archive will be put up, and then it'll finish. Also, has anyone noticed how, on that front page at least, the Dear Leader is deeply unimpressed by anything that isn't an engine or a sausage?
