funboy, you are asking for too much. people have been laughing at the expense of other people from the beginning of time, and it's not likely that will ever change.
sometimes, you just gotta stop being offended and laugh along with them.

And let me just say this isnt just about the op here either, it should be about EVERYONE. we all have faults about ourselves, that if brought to light would hate very much to be made fun of and yet, other people find it to be ok to go off and make fun of and hurt other people. They are people just as you are people no matter what they look like or sexuality they prefer, and to make fun of one is just wrong. I think if there was just less hat towards one another this world would be a better place but for some reason we seem to be going into a shell and hating one another more and more, and putting one another down.
It just needs to stop, and there should be more happy fun threads then this kind of bull s1t on here, which I find appalling that the mods will lock up a fun thread, or joke thread, or one that brings fun and joy to us here in ot, and keeps crap like this open, and ones with gore, or hate open for us all to see. It needs to be the other way around IMO, this kind of sh1t needs to be locked up, and threads that are fun, and brings joy and unity to it and us should be allowed and not locked up.
But fact of the matter is this kind of stuff not matter what should be allowed, nor be tolerated by anyone, to be made fun of for what ever reason it may be.

Making fun of overweight people and chastising smokers are some of the last refuges of "acceptable" discrimination today.

The problem is that for a long time gays were themselves the choice discriminated group. Now they are protected and it is largely fashionable to pick on overweight people instead.
I know on this forum of all places, it's cool to make fun of "fatties", but not too long ago people thought it was cool to make fun of gays like the OP just the same.

No offense, but there's good reason for that. People don't chose to be black or disabled or old or whatever else. (Maybe they chose to be gay, that's a P&N thing though) People have a choice about being fat/smoking. They're considered more acceptable targets, but that's deservedly so, seeing as how they chose to be targets.
It was entirely their choice to not take the measures, remember

That's completely, COMPLETELY different. Cancer can be possibly be prevented by making lifestyle choices, sure. There's a whole enormous distance between "preventing" something and "causing it to happen" Quitting smoking is hard, but you're glossing over the "Don't start in the first place" part, which isn't. I wouldn't have any pity for someone with lung cancer because he did it to himself specifcally by smoking. If people could get prostate cancer by willingly, I dunno, bowling, then I'd feel the same way about them if they got prostate cancer from bowling. Not preventing != actively causing
In a perfect world, yeah, nobody would make fun of each other. We're not in disagreement there. But it's strident apologist behavior to say it's hiding behind a mask to say "they did it to themselves" They did. If I started smoking, I deserve no sympathy when I get lung cancer. I'll say it again, fatties and smokers catch more flak because it's something they've actively done to themselves. They shouldn't get the same social protection as people who've been stricken by something they didn't do to themselves.
