Is this an example of bullying?

I've been stuck behind a guy in a t shirt. Shirt flailing all over the place, trying not to look but trying not to crash

that could go both ways. she could end up insulting Americans as a whole.
Man. This thing has turned into a media circus. Sure, buddy should've minded his own business and his letter was kinda douchey, but criticism does NOT equal bullying. It rankles me when *everyone* throws around the term 'bullying' any time their feelings get hurt, and it just dilutes the term overall. Hell, even today's politicians are throwing around the term against their political opponents, knowing that this is the 'buzzword' of the day.
An "I don't care" would have effectively given him the green light too. That happens to be the reaction she claims to have had at first, and it is a healthy response to the guy's email IMO. Then she got swept up (...OK, dragged along) into the spotlight and still handled it well IMO other than calling the guy a bully.
I can't help but wonder if the guy who wrote the email was an elitist. He thinks he is so important that he should never have to look at anything that doesn't bring him pleasure. I wonder if he would object to a news anchor with a liposuctioned waist and huge breast implants, other bad examples for our youth.
I saw a similar elitist experience yesterday at McDs. As I was getting my morning coffee a woman complained to the counter person that there was a older woman sleeping at the table by the door. The reply was that it was OK. The the woman got snarky with her friend about how disgusting it looked and what difference did it make if no one did anything about complaints. (This was McDonalds, not Starbucks).
The old woman could have been dead but the bitcher was more concerned about her scenic view. I checked on the lady on my way out and she was OK.

Most people who are obese know it. Where do you think she got the "overwhelming support" to confront the email writer ? The writer himself acknowledged the obesity problem in the U.S.
This should also been part of her response: "Obese people need roll models too" lol!
There are fat guys in the military. Ottawa has a cubical world just like any corp and the old guys who stay around till they are 50 are well past the "working" rank.
Not so much where I work as it's a training facility so my instructors (who are all pretty young) have to set the example in physical training, and not so much in the battlegroups.
Being fat there would suck but they are there.
This is a good one for medic since he sees half naked guys every morning
Give us a percentage of unfit fatties in the BG?

As a trainer, u should allot more activities to those who need it
You start training everyone low and end high. Train the group. Let the group help the weak link. They get through.
At the early part of their career they are losing 20-30 lbs out of basic and another 20-30 while they are with us.
Realistically a 260 lbs guy could be 200-220 and fit in 6 months as I have seen. Women the same thing to scale.
You get fat when you get a desk and can make up your own routine.
I would do basic just for the fun of it!
I'd assume the fatties can't over eat their rations out in the field? Either eat all today and starve tomorrow, lol.
Agreed on the deskjob. After I got one, I gained 30 lbs. Coupled with the fact that when you're not physically doing something, hunger cannot be easily ignored and you tend to nibble/drink something when you're bored.

oh man that Jabba the Hutt picture is freakin' priceless.
People who make excuses for being overweight deserve absolutely no respect whatsoever. Just admit you're lazy, gluttonous, and unwilling to make lifestyle changes since eating healty in correct portion sizes and exercising (HEAVEN FORBID!!!) is lower on your list of priorities than gorging yourself at the fast food feeding trough.
"Maybe she has a thyroid problem" - hahahaha. That's like the go-to defense of lazy fat ***** everywhere.

Fat people should not be looked down upon or scorned, especially by fit people. Think about it this way, if everyone whom was out of shape suddenly got into decent shape, fit people would be indiscernible from them. Just sayin...they make the fit folks look good.
Just like that rule that theres always 3 chicks, 2 hot/good looking ones and the fat one. The wingman takes care of the fat one (usually the one who might already be in a relationship) while his buddy gets it onnnn.
Now if they were all hot, the wingman would get laid, therefore cheat on his better half, it would wreck havock to the balance of the world! :O
