Red face Not very happy with this.

Was watching a channel on cable, forget which one though I think it be Bravo or something like that. Some chap said:

"fat people should pay more tax"

"Cos they take up more space and use up more resource in an alreayd over-populated world".

I was none too happy. This bloke ranted on how fat people should get some self respect and be more considerate to others. Crazy how it gets onto television.

Supermarkets should also charge on a sliding scale for their food depending on customers weight.

Not sure about paying more tax, but they should pay more on public transport if they overflow onto the next seat. Ever sat next to a bloater on an airplane for 11 hours?

If they do take up 2 seats they should pay for them both, and be allocated 2 seats.

Simple as.

No room for argument on that point. None at all.

The rather broad lady showed up at the theatre just before the
performance started and handed the usher two tickets. "Where's
the other party?" asked the usher.
"Well," said the lady, with a blush, "you see one seat
is a little small for me and rather uncomfortable so I bought
two. But they're both really for me."
"Okay with me, lady," the usher replied, scratching
his head. "There's just one problem. Your seats are numbers
fifty-one and sixty-three."

A FAT lady is lying on the beach. A lifeguard approaches her
and says, "Excuse me ma'am, could you please leave the beach?"

The FAT lady replies, "Why? What's wrong?"











"We'll you see," says the lifeguard, "It's getting pretty
late, and the tide wants to come in!"

TheBigman - if it winds you up, then I assume you must be a salad-dodger, don't let it bother you, be fat and happy.

If you're fat without medical reason you do lack self-respect.

Lazy slobbish peasants who are more and more prevalent with each passing day.

They'll all be out with big banners and signs moaning about it.

Christ, the stench of beefy sweet will be enough to kill even a hardened sewer worker.

And maybe there is some psychological reason why your divorce certificate got lost. Perhaps you are hankering after times gone by.

As a fat b@stard myself, i agree that bloaters should be persecuted and ridiculed. It's all very well saying be fat and be happy, but will they (and i include myself here) still be happy when they die early from a heart attack? If people stopped telling them that it's ok to be morbidly obese then maybe they'd have more enthusiasm about rectifying the problem.

A few years back i weighed 20 stone, after an insane 6 month program of healthy eating and 20 miles a day on the bike i got down to 13.5 stone. The trigger for me was pi$$-taking at work.

Then i got complacent and got an office job, the weight slowly crept back on and now 4 years later i'm 19.5 stone. Even though i'm still pretty active for a bloater.

I've just bought a decent rowing machine, so that along with my mountain bike and some hard work will hopefully bring the weight down again. If not then i have to accept i'll most likely die early.

So what we're saying here is just rip it out of fat people, absolutely hammer them with pisstakes so they are emabarrassed and shocked into acting??
