I agree that under the US Constitution you do have a right to freedom
of speech and or expression provided it does not infringe on the
rights of others protected under the same do***ent. BUT you do not
have a moral right to degrade a fellow human being over an issue such
as their personal appearance or legal lifestyle habits. "Blowpigs" nor
their family and friends are NOT obligated to take it either. BUT they
are morally obligated to defend themselves and shove the crap you dish
out right back at you
And there isn't anything you can do about it short of puff, blow,
stomp your feet, hold your breath and cry.

Not all fat people. In fact most don't want special treatment at all.
They usually just want to be treated like everyone deserves: with a
little dignity, a little mutual respect and common decency, all
concepts that are inherently foreign to you and your ilk. So I fully
expect you to not understand.
