i stopped drinking 20 years ago and i do not like to share my flight with drunks so maybe we could charge them extra too..... Also, just for the record not all lardasses are from USA, some are from Canada.....

I don't care for christians, can we start charging them more money to go on the plane?

Oh BTW, for those who know me, if they start charging by the pound, hopfully I will soon have to start paying less and less. I am now working out 6 times a week at the gym. 45 minutes a day on the elptical machine and I now have a trainer.

I want to be able to keep doing this hobby for along time to come.

You guys are missing the more important issue here.

I could write about social fascism ("you don't look like us therefore you must be bad.") or the inherent unfairness of singling out one group over another for what is effectively punishment (i.e. why not penalize elderly people who move more slowly than other passengers, or families traveling with Ch*ldren which inevitably cause irritation to other passengers). I won't comment on the difficulties of losing weight because of a lifetime of being obese, or genetic factors, or those factors detailed in the brilliant book "Fast Food Nation."

No, the most important reason to lose weight is that it will give you a bigger di*k. For every ten pounds of excess weight lost, 1/2" of additional penis will appear outside the fat pad. Thus, Pac55 finally has a penis. JK, Pac. I know you always had a penis.

ID, did you read your own stats? The US at 30+% obese and the rest of the known world at around 14%, less than half? Look at the listed countries that eat a low-fat diet, Korean and Japan, 3.2%.

You made my case perfectly, thank you!

I'm a skinny, sober, agnostic so I guess I'll be safe for a while. But, if they start charging per inch of dick, guess I'm in real trouble.

Sorry, just couldn't resist, it's been raining here for 2 days straight and I'm bored.

using your math i think i have an 18" dick i've never seen..haha.

You might be surprised. However thick that fat pillow is that overlies your pubic bone is how much more dick you get when you lose it. Mine was about 2 1/2" thick and is now 1/2-3/4" thick. The math is simple...

Off course I read my own stats, which just to set the record straight they are not mine, they are from OECD Health Data 2005. Did you happen to notice that in countries where the statistics were based on health examination not self reporting the average is around 25%?

Unlike you, my closed minded freind, I never have said that overeating and diet choice is not a cause of obesity I only point out it is one one of the reasons not the sole reason.

But we digress from where we started this dialog. I said LaDiablo's idea of humiliating overweight people was not very compassionate while you said it was. Now I know why you think that. Because you lost weight you lost the ability to understand and feel compassion for others who, for various reasons, can not duplicate your success. Your stance would be like lance Armstrong looking with disdain on anyone who loses their battle with testicular cancer and saying I beat so everyone else should.

Not so much...

I don't agree that public humiliation is appropriate any more than I think publicly condoning obesity and making allowances for it are appropriate.

In a nutshell, yes, there are medical conditions that make losing weight difficult for a very small percentage of people. There are also psychological reasons that keep people from successfully losing weight. With effort, these can be overcome. Support from others is one key to success along with persistence, a true desire to live life differently and a positive attitude.

Providing people with excuses to remain obese does them no favors, in my opinion. To me, true compassion for a person means caring enough to tell them the truth and offer support to be successful in changing, not telling them everything is great while you are really thinking that they are killing themselves with a fork.

As I said in the beginning, I am not magic. If I can do it so can a lot of other people. Think of how much better they would feel about themselves if they suddenly had control of their body mass and had the success of losing the weight for their self-image, not to mention that the girls do see you differently when height and weight are proportional.

ID, I have never met you but I always enjoy your posts, even when you get a little testy. I don't know what your body mass index is but if you need to drop some weight and you are willing to accept that it is possible, I am here for you with all the support I can bring. There is no need to drop the weight as quickly and with as big a change in eating habits as I made. People don't get big overnight and it takes time to retrain the body. Small changes in diet consistently applied and moderate exercise is all it takes for most people.

That is somewhat diffrent from your initial post which responded to LaDiablo's post and my reply in which neither one of said "public" humiliation,






Thirdworld said the percentage was less than 1% but could not provide any reference to support that figure. What % do you use and what evidence do you have that supports that number?





I am sure you are sincere but frankly you are starting to come across like a born again Christian who feels it is his mission in life to go forth and save the rest of mankind who do not share his new found believes. I have stated previously in this thread that I have not been diagnosed as obese my comments in this thread are simply making a point and that is not all obese people are that way because they overindulge in food and do not indulge in physical activity. I apologize if you find that "testy".

It is just sad to see attractive people transition to that toad look just because it tastes so good.....??? Pretty soon 90% of their life revolves around eating....

You know, I started this thread as a light hearted look at something that I thought was decidedly silly when I heard about it. I had honestly thought that it would be received with the humor that it was intended to when I wrote, because it seemed so humorous to me. I can now see that that's not the case.

That being said, even as it devolves into a serious topic it seems to me that a lot of the focus has gone away from the issue itself. It's really not about who does or doesn't have the ability to lose weight, or what the reasons for not being able to do so are. In fact, that's pretty much irrelevant, in my mind. It really is about how reasonable it is to single out not just a particular subgroup, but even to single out gender, since men will always have to pay more than women do, and the fairness of punishing someone for being larger (note that I do not say "fat", since I'm not equating the terms)

I pointed out some obvious inconsistencies in such a policy before, and ID has run with that ball, but surely it must be obvious that at its most basic factor a man and a woman of exactly equal size will have two different prices based on the fact that the man has more muscle mass. Surely this can't be perceived as fair? Is one to be punished for being a better physical specimen than another? If so then what is the incentive to make those healthy choices and be fit and muscular? Yes, of course I realize that the overweight people didn't make those choices and consequently will also be punished for mass, but it seems very arbitrary to me, however intuitively logical and straightforward it may seem to be at first glance.

Non-arbitrary choices, such as luggage, should be hit before people start to be punished for who they are. Executive salaries, meals, infrastructure and efficiencies in the industry, and yes, even airfares, should be adjusted before people begin being punished just for being the people they are.

"Devolves" is just the right word. Talkabout a thread being hijacked! I tried to re-inject a little humor back into the proceedings, to little avail. But, Hey! Give it another shot on another topic.
