"SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP"

Hello there, Newbie! Welcome to WDC.

This is a Simply Positive Review!

I am also reviewing your item because it popped-up on the Random Review generator.

What you have described, the remarks, the egregious behavior, is very real. I don't quite understand that people must judge a person by their weight. I've heard people remark about others at the pool or in a store. I felt ashamed of their ignorance and the fact that they shared some of the common spaces I need to be in, such as a store.

Some comments are not even made under their breath, they are meant to be heard and to hurt.

My theory? I believe that those who must put another person down, must really not like themselves at all. For some reason, they think if in their mind, the other person cannot be as good, lucky, smart -- you name it, as the insulter, thus making the insulter feel a boost to his own ego.

I think that's one cab company I would complain about, as well as not using that taxi again. Hopefully there are better choices of travel. However, if a woman is walking and the taxi driver spews insults out the window, and I was a passenger, I'd report him and not ride in that cab.

Your story brings the reality of how we are judged by our body parts rather than the person we are. Ignorance at best -- pure evil at worst.

Observation:

"Difference is... There should be a space before and following ellipses. Actually, in this case, the line would read well with just a comma following "is."

Well done!
