Thread: Airline to introduce Fat Tax

wouldn't a big bodybuilder fuck that system all up?

This has to be the worst by gaul attempt at discrimination that I have ever seen. What about skinny people ???? Skinny people apparently aren't good enough to be taxed now ? Overweight people get all of the attention these days. Next thing you know they are gonna turn the tables on the skinny people and file law suits because they are getting a special tax. It's a win, win situation for them.

For some reason this doesent bother me. I think it is a good idea. I meen they eat in excessive amounts (so do I, but i control it). If they are going to affect other people by (sitting next to them on a plane) than they should have to pay. Just my .02

As someone who used to be obese I don't see anything wrong with. The only reason I see nothing wrong is because the lack of comfort of the others around you.

Back then when I flew, I would purchase two seats. This was mainly for my comfort not others. I also owned the dreaded seat belt extender.

Thank god those days are over.

SIGH. Another reason for customers to rip me a new one about. They had to pay money for extra seats for both their ass cheeks.

I was asked one time if a "special needs" person could sit next to me for a Transatlantic flight (Delta)...I was thinking some one mentally challenged or something...but nope, it was a 350+ man that had bought 1 seat. he was a nice guy with a good sense of humor about the situation but I learned my lesson....I will refuse in the future.

He was literately spilling into my seat and I could forget about using the arm rest. My tray would go all the way down, so I had to rest it on his leg...I only got up once on the 7 hour flight, and it took the poor guy a good 5minutes to get out.

I have no problem forcing large (not just fat...a huge BB like Ruhl should be clumped into the same category) people to purchase two seats. Screw a "tax"....just charge them double if they are too large.

They should have to fly Cargo, they won't freeze, they got plenty of insulation..............

Fuck seats. But me in a air conditioned coffin in the cargo area. I'll take up less space and be 10 times happier.

Hells Yeah! Next time I fly I'm gonna buy one of those large wooden crates, just big enough for a lazy boy and stock it with beer, weed, sandwiches, my guitar and my laptop with games. Then I'll rent a gorilla suit, and pay to ship Jumbo the guitar playing gorilla to whatever destination.....

I'll try to get a reduced rate too by saying Jumbo plays for Children at St. Judes and the Ronald McDonald Houses....

Why would skinny people be taxed? I believe the main concept here is that it cost more to fly obese people (in fuel cost and by accommodating the excessive space they take with two seats as opposed to one, etc.). That is like saying we should charge more for mailing lighter packages than heavier ones. I am all for this tax, though it will still not prevent or reduce the often necessary sacrifice of one's personal comfort when being sit next to an obese person.

Your an idiot, who clearly has no economic or social understanding of anything.

on a flight you are paying to take poundage. period. fat or muscle, tall or short, 12lb dick or infant penis doesnt matter.

life isnt supposed to be fair.

No hat'n on fatty; they are cool.

See your means like something is "yours" but when you want to use the compound word for "you are" it should be "You're".

No big deal, fat idiots make this error a lot, must be the fat on the brains cutting off blood supply.

I realized after I posted that it was wrong. Couldn't be bothered to change it.

Thanks for the English lesson, though the joke wasn't really that funny.

Ut oh, grammar police on patrol!

This reminds me of a not so funny story. I was leaving my doctor's office one day, I decided to be lazy and take the elevator. I enter the elevator, hit the button, door closes, brief pause door opens, I'm still in the lobby. I repeat this process 3 times, but we will just say 10 for entertainment purposes, and the elevator doesn't move. Finally someone was nice enough to point out in order to move to the ground floor I should hit G, not the button of the current floor I'm on. Strangest thing, their wasn't but 5 buttons total. If it wasn't for that good Samaritan I would still be there today.

So moondogg, it's not that my elevator doesn't go to the top, it has just stayed in it's current position since birth.

they'll tax anything and everything.. ugh.
