25. The intolerance here is disgusting
Tue May 12, 2015, 04:09 PM
May 2015

For such a supposedly progressive site, it amazes me how many people don't find anything wrong with all the fat shaming, weight jokes, and downright nastiness focused at a persons size.

Christie is a hypocrite for unnecessarily spending taxpayer money, but because it was food/drink related, it is okay to display such intolerance on this site? I say shame on you all.
