[QUOTE="Ada Lovelace, post: 68935225, member: 354769"] I think it's immoral to deliberately be cruel and hurtful to someone, especially without provocation. I can't fathom Jesus telling a girl that she was fat, or belittling someone for his height, or demeaning someone's appearance in another form. That said, if someone has directly asked for a candid opinion, then giving one isn't wrong. I think there's ways to be diplomatic about it, but again, if it's been solicited then that's significantly different than it being hurled out. It's also acceptable for a medical professional to address a weight issue, whether the person is overweight or underweight. Many people are acutely aware of their appearances, and chances are someone who is hefty already knows that and doesn't need someone to call him or her fat. It's also inappropriate for someone to make uninvited commentary about someone being underweight. I'm thin due to medical issues and am surprised by the number of random strangers who feel like it's appropriate to comment on it. I don't know if it's because I'm young or what, but it seems really thoughtless to me. [/QUOTE]
