Surely you can see the difference in the physical context of which I used the term "hurt". Compared to second hand smoke, and the reasoning for taxing fat people.Bevo wrote:
Did I say they were any less of a person? Surely my choice of words wasn't cushy enough for you. People need to deal with the truth, and it is damn well the truth. Words like "large" and "hefty" only try to comfort people and it does no good. I do understand that some people have medical conditions and/or genes that they simply can't erase, but this is not the case for your average american. There's so much made-up bullshit in there like all the kids "suffering" from ADD.lowing wrote:
maybe you need to come to grips with your posts, maybe you did not mean to expose yourself like this, but hey you are honest. Time you should deal with your own honesty.
Maybe you can't grasp this, but it's a little bit of a personal issue. Do you know how hard it is to watch people in your family gain weight and deal with it? My dad is overweight and I watch him struggle with it almost daily. He can't work outside as long because he tires quickly. Sometimes he skips meals because he thinks it will help him lose weight. He has health issues and it will probably kill him early in life. My sister is starting to gain weight too - hell, do you think I want her to end up like him?
Now, this taxing thing is stupid, like I said. But saying "fat people hurt nobody but themselves" is complete bullshit.
there should be a new thing, like if u were to eat sweet stuff u would get ten lashes before you could buy any... raising or taxing stuff wont make a difference... people would still buy...
my issue with tubbies and planes is that they get the same baggage allowance as me, yet they weight quite a bit more than my bag anyway. And on planes weight=money.
i already have to pay for excess baggage, so lardy up there should be paying for excess...him

How big percentage of the passengers are so overweight that it would make any difference what so ever to the price of the tickets?FatherTed wrote:

Man I remember a 5 hour flight stuck in the middle seat when I was 275 lbs...Its no fun for me either.
I'm sure the airlines could charge by the pound-mile. They know exactly how much it costs to move one pound one mile in their aircraft.Gawwad wrote:
