Thread: Weigh in on this sensitive topic...

No, just get them to let the little ones sit on their knees...

Yes, but I also think that about huge-ass bodybuilders, with shoulder width that takes up 2 seats.

I stand so it is no issue on the subway for me, but on a plane it would be a big issue. I have had to sit next to some big mamma jammas on a plane and it was far from fun.

I think on a plane they do get charged two seats, if they can't sit between two arm rests properly.

but they might just try to squeeze in.

It is the flight personnel's decision on whether or not he/she passes

I think they should have to fly with the cargo!

I dont want to be the guy tellin those fat asses they need to have there shit measured.
How would they go about choosing them, do they have a formula of something...

Height x weight x girth of ass / (thigh + cancle size) x the amount of fat that hangs over arm-rest in cubic inches = amount of seats needed

Or the adjustable arm rest, they can buy like a portion of a bench.

Definately charge them double. why should i be forced to be uncomfortable with their flab hanging all over me? i mean i feel sorry for those fat people but dont inconvenience me because of your problem.

you know those invisible shock fences you put in your yard to keep your dog from running off? they should use those as seat dividers. that would keep the fatties from coming to my side. who knows, the electric shock might even burn a few calories for them.

Yes, absolutely. They should have to buy two movie tickets, two tickets to a ball game, two tickets to a broadway show, etc etc etc. Maybe if fat Americans got charged double for everything, they'd finally fucking decide to lose some damn weight.

I recently took a Southwest Airlines flight and got on as a standby. I was one of the last three on the plane. It was funny to see how relieved the people I sat between were when slender little me plopped down between them.

or mabey they wont have enough money to gorge themselves then.

Its the new weight loss craze
To fat to fly, too seats youll buy

They shouldn't be allowed to leave their homes until they lost some weight.

i think thats part of the problem now ... they sit on their ass all day and watch tv instead of doing some outside activity. maybe they shouldnt be allowed to come home until they lose some weight.

There have been several unsuccessful lawsuits by fat people against airlines claiming obesity is a disability and they are being discriminated against. Airlines are terrified of the possible negative publicity surrounding the issue. Some charge for an extra seat others don't.

I know I would be absolutely freaking out if they sat some fat ass next to me and his/her excess cargo was spilling over into my lap. I can barely handle the 'normal' contact with a guy beside me (hot blonde with big tits would be O.K.). I need my personal space. 4 or 5 hour flights with sticky, sweaty, smelly fat pressed up against me would send me through the fuckin' roof.

It's worse now. The CDC is contemplating classifying obesity as a disease so our hard earned tax dollars can pay for the "treatment" of some fat ass on Midicaide or Medicare.

In the new Readers Digest there is a bit about a guy that won over $9,000 for being pressed up agaist a large person for two hours on a flight.

The problem is that the airline probably had to pay the $9K. That kind of crap drives up airline ticket prices for the rest of us. The fat guy is who SHOULD have had to pay.

You guy's are so mean







But to tell the truth if I had to endure a trip with a fluff n' stuff Stay Puft I'd freakin' flip out.
I'd scream "Keep your gravy filled hamhocks off of me and tuck that ass spillage back into your seat." "When you take a shit do you have to have someone help guide your hole over the toilet?" "Why do all of you fatties get those greenish bumps between the folds of your neck?"

its ridiculous the way people think. they go to the grocery and see low fat oreos and think "oh look they made this healthy." people are so gullible. most of us here probably have a cheat meal or cheat day per week but these people gobble up boxes of cookies and chips every day and wonder why they aint losing weight. low fat simply means more carbs - they dont read the fine print on anything. people go to mcdonalds and eat 800 calorie processed burgers and wonder why they are fat. people have no discipline. it is not a disease. sorry if yall dont agree. just mho.

just like the people suing the cigarette companies. that is the stupidest thing i have ever heard. they tell you right on the pack, "this causes lung cancer" and 20 years later people are suing them. everyone knows fat is bad, smoking is bad, blah blah blah. if you are going to partake in those things R.I.P. no one forced you to do it.

the ones who do care about losing weight buy into all the quick fix diets. hundreds of dollars and a year later they are worse off than when they started. you wanna lose weight? eat healthy! how hard is that? ok im done ... thx for listening (or reading.)

Have you ever noticed that when they sweat it has a similar odor as rancid bacon grease?

omg, that site is hilarious

check the forums, youll find gems like this:

" greetings zippy i have , in the past had your problem. i can only tell you what i did. the pimples i had were boils, and appeared under my arms and where the fat rolled tightly at the sides of my knee area. first i got the pimple, which broke and drained and left a dark red/purple hole which took a while to fill in and heal. these sometimes reappeared,most doctors call them cysts and will recommend removal of the sac inside to keep them from comming back. skin rubbubg on skin and sweating in this area are the mix that gets them started. they are a kind of staff bacteria according to my doc. and happen wherever you rub skin. waist bands,skin folds, chair edges etc etc. they can be dangerous if drainage goes inside, you should see a dr. because in most cases putting things on or bandaging is not easy ar recommended. i am unable to prevent them in some areas but use a cotton cloth roll tucked under my belly flap every day to keep the crease dry any off of itself and that works there. elevate my leg when i get one there to keep from having it turn to an ulsor and keep dry thats key wet,dark and friction causes it. i hope i was helpful the other thing is remember the medico works for you. fat/thin/or otherwise MAKE THEM LISTEN. i know its not easy but get angry (invision them naked)that always keeps me fron being intimidated by them. insist they listen to you and treat you with respect. if they don't, report them to the licencing board then go to the next one on your list. good luck and keep your chin up"

Ok, now I'm becoming prejudice.

I'm in a unique position on this one. I've worn both shoes. I was that fat obese SOB one year ago. 6'4'' 380lbs. I sure as hell wouldn't want to sit next to me. At that time nobody in their right mind would've said a word to me if I did. Because it would've been on like Donkey Kong!

Now being on the trim side 225lbs I would just bite my tongue but I would throw them a knee every now and then!

thanks dale ... you have turned us allllll into unsympathetic assholes.

congrats on your astounding accomplishment. its too bad others dont have the same discipline that you had.

I have no sympathy for those that can do something about it but don't. I have a hard time respecting lazy fuqs.

There are those people that have a legitimate excuse, and I feel sorry for them.
