    My friend said this was a first world problem, but I told him it probably happens in the third and second world as well. :grin:

    Fat people should have some modesty.

    Maybe she just needs to find the right bar.

    Was this phrase "first world problems" made popular in a recent thread/meme/tv show?

    Incredibly juvenile responses in this thread making fun of people with a weight problem show a side of some of you that is not very attractive. Perhaps you should go on a diet... of posting.

    The bouncer said she was "Obviously pregnant"....

    I understand the bars position though, they only want attractive hot girls up on stage.

    No one wants to see them dancing. If they want to show their stuff, lay off the burgers and fries and stick to a salad or bulimia.

    I think understanding discrimination . . . does not mean condoning it.

    We cannot treat people like trash . . . because it is financially lucretive.

    Nah, nah, poor call by the bouncer. You have to appease the fatty of the group. Its hard enough trying to gig the hot friends without the fatty complaining about wanting to leave or saying she's hungry or her feet hurt -- whatever. You fatties know what I'm talking about.

    Appease the fatty man. For the good of the whole.

    The bar is also liable if she gets up there and falls and hurts herself or others. Last time I checked, thinner people normally have better balance/ coordination. Call it discrimination, id call it physics.

    Yes. The fat girl would have labored up there, lost her balance and fell injuring herself and several others that were unfortunate enough to be in the path of her uncontrolled fall.

    Tables and chairs likely would have been smashed and broken. Additionally, the comedic effect of the situation would have been drowned out by the piercing screams of agony let out by the fat girl as she wallowed around the dance floor in obvious pain.

    Kudos to the bouncer.

    Person 1: she's been eating her sorrows away in icecream.

    Person 2: ice cream? Apparently she ate two grown men named Ben and Jerry.

    Telling someone not to dance on your table doesn't equal treating them like trash and isn't discrimination.
