People weight is up to them, if they are really not happy they will try and change it, not always successfully as there are varied reasons for the situation.
Unfortunately if you are blessed with a horrible personality you are stuck with it.

"It sounds like you're saying that Chloe making sex jokes about Sam are inappropriate but Marc making fat jokes about Chloe are hilarious"

me..I think both where ok...But i think Chloes comment was cruder..(and since i use that kind of humor myself to people i am or wish to be friends with)..I think Marcs jokes (last night) was more good humored. They where meant to be shared jokes with Sam.

like slapping your mate on the back and saying playfully and saying "you can be a real tit sometime you know"

Chloes on the other hand .. was a joke to large group of people..singeing out a third person..who was being made fun of

so honestly you could make the argument that if either joke was cruel..it was chloes

They were all making jokes about the Sam incident, however Marc is the only one telling people they're fat/heavy (he even called Cristian skinny during an argument, always picking on peoples appearances) so, no, Chloe's joke wasn't cruel.

As i child i ostracized and picked on..made fun of by "groups" of other kids at school...but i could alway share a joke with a freind..even one that came at either of ours exspence...and it was not an "attack" .. but a bonding moment

So if you asked which was worse..it was chloe...but in that house..in a shared experience..i think either was ok.

I don't like nasty people..i never have..and i would be fine having a mate like marc..I'm sorry i don't see what you see..he is a good guy

A 60 year old calling insulting a kid ...classy

??? so one on one joking is bad..but if you ganging up on someone its ok?

I don't think you really believe that

Poor Chloe

no idea what you are on about

I have a similar relationship with my friends, and probably Marc and his friends too. I'd almost definitely get on with Marc in person but the guy needs a filter. If he can't see when he goes tOo far at his age, he never will. If you don't see how people have a right to be upset with fat "jokes" then it's probably beyond explaining to you too. He has gone too far on many occasions other than this and because he never apologises and never stops, it's clear to me that he's not a nice guy.

I've said from days one he should tone it down..and if he was my friend i'd find away to get that point across to him without making it an argument..

But the point of the thread was chloe being offended when she had no problem making it jokes about sam some i don't think its fair to make a blanket statement about fat jokes being bad and ignoring chloes "humor"

as i said before...i'm as fit as packet of crisps myself and if a friend ..even on the level you can call all the housemates friends ..said that to me i would laugh out loud..

No point telling me this, I've explained why I don't think they're similar whatsoever a few posts up, I still don't think they're similar and I still believe Chloe has reason to be upset with Marc.

We may aswell just go crap in someones shoes,we'll be classy then:hehe:

I'm with you on this one Jake. She isn't skinny, but I certainly wouldn't class her as fat. She looks very healthy to me. But hey, if she isn't pleasing to Marc's eye, she must be worthless and the obvious stooge for his immature humour.

She is just Chloe and she is lovely as she is

lmao are you purposely trying to miss my point??

You singled Chloe out as someone who made a cruel joke about Sam (to defend the fact Marc has made cruel jokes), my point is how is that cruel of Chloe when they were all making jokes about Sam? I didn't even insinuate or suggest that ganging up on someone was ok, so don't twist my words please.

What has that even got to do with the topic? :conf: If you wanna talk about lack of class, head over to a thread about Helen.

have already addressed why a group teasing someone is offensive..i've focused on chloe because she is the one complaining about the fat jokes

So chloe isnt 90 pounds and thats why people are calling her fat. She is not fat at all she is at a healthy weight

Yeah, I just find it ridiculous, the lengths people go to..
