No, if for no other reason than it highlights your lack of imagination. Fat people know they're fat, and most likely feel bad about it in some way anyway, so your pointing it out is not going to cause any fresh pain (not that you should be *wanting* to inflict pain on anyone...). If you really want to insult and hurt someone -- regardless of their size -- you need to comment on something that they think is hidden, something that causes them secret shame.
Jeez, I sound evil. Really, I'm not!

No, Most of the reason's why they are mean is cause all the skinny people they know are mean to them. So if you show them kindness and forgiveness, maybe they will start being kind and nice to everyone. Not all fat people are mean. If you get back at them that way they will just get back at you for being skinny. Trust me it goes both ways'.

Although tempting, generally the better solution is to rise to the occasion and (here's the kicker) prove them wrong.
Be the bigger person. Don't exacerbate the situation. Instead, be polite, courteous, diplomatic, etc., and prove them wrong at the same time. Others will think more ill of your antagonist and dismiss his/her comments if they can find no fault with you.
Your antagonist may learn something positive in the process, and you'll feel better about yourself.

Oh yeah go ahead, I'm a fat guy and people use to insult me for just walking down the street.
Life is just not fair and I'm the first to admit it.

If it's wrong to be mean, isn't it worse to have two people being mean than just one? That person may just be having a bad day; don't make it worse. Or, if they really are that way, you can see by looking at them what YOU will be like if you follow their example. Is that how you want to be? Try forgiving them instead of "getting even."

I would say turn the other cheek.. but nahh! What, fat jokes are off limits? It's not like they have one leg or one eye. It's not like making a racist comment. If he/she is fat it's for a reason. I say, don't start anything and the there won't be anything.

They're probably used ot hearing insults about their weight. Be more creative. Insult their attitude or their mom or something...

What would really tick them off is if you completely ignore their comments, or just grin at them and not say anything. It will bug them that you didn't get upset about it. Eventually, it won't be "fun" for them anymore since they aren't getting a reaction from you

When you do that kind of stuff you will get it back 3 times worst so be careful how FAT do you want to get?

would you like to be insulted because of your looks or size or ethnicity? don't treat someone else in the same mean way you were treated....rise above the occasion, mean people are usually insecure and scared.....
