In the movie "Supersize Me!" by Morgan Spurlock, a man made a point that I found very interesting.
He stated that he had been out to dinner, where one person was a smoker. Someone at the table said to the smoker "What is the matter with you, don't you know how unhealthy that is? Why don't you quit that filthy habit before you die!" Well the smoker agreed that it was a filthy habit and that he wanted to quit, but had failed. So this man said that there was also a very large woman at the table, and he wondered what would happen if someone said "Oh my gosh, stop eating you fat pig! Don't you know how bad it is to be so fat??? Do not order dessert!" Of course we all know what would happen, the people would defend the fat women. Obviously we've come to a point in our society where it's ok to heckle some bad things but not others.
I guess my question to you all is, is this right? (More details)
