That is not discrimmation that is just fact.<br /><br />Fat people should be denied bad food and offered gym membership at a lower rate in order to increase their own quality of life as well as the future of the country they are living in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3731176931975828199.post-76654068828230699502010-01-02T17:52:09.809-05:002010-01-02T17:52:09.809-05:00As a founding member of the New Fat Acceptance I h...As a founding member of the New Fat Acceptance I have to side with the airlines on this one. We are paying for seats. If we take two we should be charged for two. I would be for a fat friendly airline that caters specifcally to fatlings.

The fact is that airlines are businesses and they operate to make a profit. If you take up more space than a single seat then you cost the airline two, because nobody wants to sit next to someone who will impinge on the already limited space afforded to economy class passengers to begin with.<br /><br />Surely you understand that. You wouldn't want to sit next to a stranger that would spill over into your seat that you paid for and neither would I. So who should wear the cost? The airlines are run to make money and they can do with their business what they like, just as you can with your jewellery business. They shouldn't be forced to cover the cost of providing two seats for the price of one. I think that's fair enough.<br /><br />God bless.Jerome Morrownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3731176931975828199.post-36211729169009876552009-04-20T15:09:00.000-04:002009-04-20T15:09:00.000-04:00Wow, I'm so completely horrified with that person'...Wow, I'm so completely horrified with that person's opinions. They are so completely narrow-minded and biased. So she has strong feelings against the obese and the smokers. Every citizen has their own series of health issues. I'm surprised she didn't group old people too. In the span on nine months of a pregnancy, I'm sure more resources are pulled than the average "obese" person for a few years.... I could just go on.<br />Good for you for arguing with her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
