        Exactly what we are trying to do in ssf-a. We try to raise   
   awareness of social injustice.  Sad thing is, many fat people think   
   they deserve ill-treatment.

           I don't recall arguing that.  Fat people want the same   
   privileges and opportunities that other people take for granted.  The   
   "self-imposed problems" bit is something people say to avoid   
   responsibility for their own hatefulness.

           Like trolls do almost all the time.
