What is nature of your complaint? Oh C'mon. Don't take it so personal. Let's kiss and make up. HA!HA!

Yea, you sure won that battle. Good for you. I'm 5'9" and 220 pounds. I have a 50 inch chest and a 34 inch waist. The last guy who told me I was fat is still picking his teeth out of his own ass. You should probably watch who you chide over their weight. Besides, I'd say you are one of those big talkers here who, in real life, scatter like rain drops at the first sign of trouble.

At Seventeen was a hit when I was a totally miserable teenager, & after all these years it still makes me cry.Thank you, Janis, for your beautiful & poingnant song.

If Janis Ian was considered unattractive at seventeen then that just shows what society is like toward the people who aren't skinny and popular. I just watched the video of her at sixteen performing Society's Child and I see nothing even remotely ugly about her. She is a pretty and talented woman.

I dated a chick that said this song was about here. Those were some happy times. By the time I broke up with her I needed therapy and valium. This is a wrist slasher.

Okay, I'll try that out. I'll try to bring some sunshine into someone's life in this dreadful, gloomy climate in Oregon which isn't worth a half an onion.

I believe it was El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Homer (The Mysterious Voyage of Homer), one of the most epic and deep episodes ever, the newer ones are nothing compared to the golden years of The Simpsons.

"Fat slobs"?No, this is not compassion, Cobalt.Did your life improve because people came up to you and said"Stop being a skinny, pimply nerd"?Probably not.You might try something like"Hi. You're looking happy today."Or"Hi. You seem tired. Can I carry that parcel for you?"Or maybe even just"Hi."
