It's easier to lose weight than get shorter
by drseamus

As someone who has had to sit next to an individual weighing no less than 350 pounds for a cross-country flight, I not only agree with the 2 seat rule, I think it should be enforced more. Ultimately, there are ways to lose weight and as far as I know, no established ways to lose height.

There is some sort of saying about the right to swing your arm ends at my nose. Well, the right to have excessive fat ends at my armrest. Pay up or get off.

You do realize that you could purchase that extra seat or upgrade to first class if this bothers you?

Essentially what you're saying is that you have an issue with other people - and you want those people to pay for your peccadillos.

No, he has a problem with Jabbaesque slugs taking up half the seat HE paid for. Fat is a fucking choice: why should OTHERS pay for it?

That's totally ridiculous. I started to write out why but then decided it's not worth it. If you're not a troll and that was a serious argument, I pity your family and coworkers and anyone else who has to deal with you on a daily basis. I can't even imagine the type of bullshit you put them through.

Yet again the fat flame warrriors gear up for battle.

P.Eu. here is a Babylon-5 Sci-Fi quote to match your Star Wars reference.

"Ah, arrogance and stupidity all in the same package. How efficient of you."

Of course the only reason anyone is overweight is because they are lazy gluttons who have never noticed that they are fat. How kind of you to point that out to them.

I hope you realize that if your view about weight gain and loss is correct, the good news for fat people is they can lose weight. The bad news for you is stupid is forever.
