No. They buy a ticket to travel. It's not their fault if the seat isn't big enough for them.
-
But someone else may have to stand because they're taking up that person's seat
And it often is their fault. We shouldn't have to make huge seats just because some people are too fat

Surely it's the responsibility of the company to make sure that its service is available for all. You wouldn't expect a disabled person to pay extra because they're more of a hassle to transport.
-
But how can they know the person they're selling the ticket to is of a normal size? The person then just turns up and makes whoever they're sitting next to very uncomfortable. How can they make sure that doesn't happen when they can;t know which of their passengers is gonna be massive?

For airplanes, yes, they should pay for 2 seats because the operating costs are based on space and weight.
The was a time and day when passengers were charged by the pound. They should go back to that.

Maybe they should set aside some of the double seats for fat people to sit on, or make sure that they never sell out the whole bus/plane.

I don't want a morbidly obese slob flowing into my seat, especially on a 10 hour flight. If they can't be contained in a regular seat let them buy two.

They have seperate sections on busses for wheelchair users. Maybe there is a case for setting aside special space for fatties.

If you're talking about a private company, then no. If it's public transportation then yes.
You wouldn't expect a disabled person to pay extra because they're more of a hassle to transport.
Again, if it's a private company then yes, they have every right to charge more because disabled people cost more to transport. Money doesn't grow on trees.
If it's the govenment doing it, then the extra costs gets absorbed by the taxpayers.

I do kinda agree with you. I think most our transport is public though, and I think there are laws to protect disabled people, and make sure they don't have to pay extra. I might be wrong though.
I don't think fat folk should be treated worse. They should have the same rights that disabled people have.
-
If this is the case should you be able to fly two to a seat if you both can fit?

Very good point :agreed:

In the case of a privat company, it's not an issue of rights, it's an issue of making ends meet. Fat and disabled people cost more money to move. That money has to come from somewhere. Private companies have to charge more money, governments increase taxes.

I'm not sure that's an option here though. There are laws here that make sure disable people are treated aqually.

If I were to fly I would buy 2 tickets in any case. I like to have my room. I even buy 2 tickets for blockbuster opening nights like the Harry Potter movies to make sure I will have room for my elbow.

If a lardass gets 2 seats for the price of one then I want two seats for the price of one as well. Of course that kind of equal treatment would either drive the airlines out of business or force every non lardass on the flight to pay way more to subsidize the morbidly obese. I see fat asses in groceries stores riding those carts because they don't want to walk. Not walking + eating 3000 or 4000 calories a day will just make them progressively fatter.

It's not always the fat persons fault they're fat.

What do airlines do with someone who has a broken leg? Honest question. Don't say they shoot them.
-

If a person, or any other animal, takes in more calories then they burn up = weight gain. It is that simple. Just like spontaneous generation was a false proposition so is the idea that if a fat person is put on an 1800 calorie diet in a controlled environment they will continue to gain weight.
-

I imagine they lend the injured passenger a wheelchair if necessary to help with boarding and deplaning! :nerdy:

No, I was referring to seating on an airplane. That leg in a cast is going to stick out. Do they put them right behind first class in that room area?

Preboarding does happen for people on crutches etc. So there are the front Coach seats available. I draw the line at wanting to have someone who has pigged out on a pound of bacon, 6 eggs over easy, hashbrowns and 6 slices of toast everyday for 10 years sitting next to me. People don't hit 350 lbs + on one big meal every two weeks. Morbid obesity is a long consistent process of pigging out.
-
Uh yeah. Each seat costs money and if they need two seats, buy two. If I were to want space and not have someone crowding me, I would have to buy two seats. If I wanted more room to keep my stuff, buy two seats, if I wanted room to sleep and I would like to lie down and sleep, buy two seats. It's all fair.
And it's not always someone's fault they are fat. Some people have something wrong with their metabolism they gain weight nonetheless no matter how little they eat. Some just can't lose weight no matter how little they eat or what exercise they do. It all has to do with metabolism. The most common ignorance there is about weight loss is "Just eat less food" but that doesn't work with older adults and young people with metabolism problems. Also not all fat people over eat. It's also genetic. I blame the media for causing so much ignorance about obesity. Have you ever noticed whenever you watch shows about it or documentaries, it's always about fast foods, junk food, and people not eating healthy? Plus it also has to do with food choices you make. If you eat the wrong foods, you won't lose weight. Sometimes people lose weight when they have started making better food choices. That's what happened with my husband. But he is still fat and he doesn't eat much.
-
To add to what Kit said. Steroids make you fat. I had to give the Princess Royal daily steroid shots for about 2 or 3 months starting when she was 7 months old. Before you get all bent out of shape, this was done because of her epilepsy and immature brain. She gained an enormous amount of weight, had acne, had mood swings (rages and depression) and other side effects that I won't go into. So if you're on steroids for a medical condition you probably would gain quite a lot of weight.

Maybe lot of them didn't have metabolism problems. I hear the minority are fat for a medical reason.

If you're that huge you can only fit on 2 seats on not one, then yeah.

I'm not sure that's an option here though. There are laws here that make sure disable people are treated aqually.
Giving a group privileges such as special seats etc. ISN'T equal treatment or rights. Although equal rights does not work, because averaging out everything just brings up more complications.
It's not always the fat persons fault they're fat.
99.99% of the time, it is their fault. I also don't consider someone to be fat disabled.
People ruin their metabolism by overeating, or a cycle of eating/starving.

That just is not true. A far higher than 0.01% of morbidly obese people are like that because of a health problem. I have no idea what the actual percentage is.
Disabled people have an equal right to use public transport. I think it's illegal to charge disabled people extra. You could not have a system where a morbidly obese person without a disablity is charged more than a morbidly obese person with a disability.

Every fat or obese person I've met eat like a bloody cow. Even myself. :zoinks:
To blame your weight on something other than your love of food is completely silly. It does not matter if a fat cunt is depressed when they shovel in food by the bucketload, it's still their fault.

Disabled people tend to get privileges such as free travel and special seats. Using your morals, privileges would be as bad as charging extra.

There are illnesses such as diabetes that can make people fat.

No. Certain groups of people are given free, or reduced travel costs, such as children, pensioners, students, and some disabled people. I think these are subsidized by the government, although I'm not sure. I think it's fair that the disadvantaged people in society should be given the most help.
I see it all around me. Very few people are "naturally" overweight.
Perhaps the majority of morbidly obese people are that way because they eat too much and don't excersise. However, it is totally wrong to say that applies to 99.99% of fat people. That would mean that only 1 in 10,000 mobidly obese people are that way because of a health problem. Come on Schleed. I think you know that's not true.
-

I'm not sure, I swore diabetes was caused by being fat, not causing fatness.

But in an equal society, disabled people should technically get the same service as other people. That means no assistance.
I am not against assistance, but it shows that things can't be truly equal.

I sadly think it's true. There's too much easily obtainable food about so it is ridiculously easy to overeat. We're spoilt for choice and quantity. Since the past 20 years, the amount of fat and obese people have risen quite a bit due to this. Very rarely it's caused by a health issue (ie. if a person took medication that wrecks their metabolism), although more fat people claim it's a health issue mainly as an excuse to hide their insecurity. Some even sued fast-food places like McDonalds because they didn't want to admit that THEY alone were the cause of their overeating.
Every fat person I met over the years overeats. I too got to this weight due to overeating. My fat aunt and uncle? Overeating. The fat people I see during lunch in college? Overeating.

Considering the amount of variation in the human race in general, I do not believe that you can accurately make a generalization about the statistical spread of the etiology of obesity in a population you have only observed non-empirically.
-
I read that stress and depression can also make people overweight because their brain releases a chemical telling them they are hungry when they are not so they eat. To me, it is all about willpower. Only eat three times a day, do not eat in between and you won't gain weight. Even if you feel hungry. So to me it's still a choice because they chose to eat still because don't they know that stress and depression can make them hungry more often and it's just fake hunger they are feeling?
I bet the reason why most people give into their appetite and eat is because when we are young, we are taught "eat when you feel hungry" "eat until you are full" so as adults when our brains release a chemical making us think we are hungry, we give in and eat. So it takes willpower to not do it.
Even medicine can do this too so it also takes willpower to not eat between meals and not eat three times as much or twice as much. I would rather feel hungry all the time than get fat if I went through all this and I don't care if it's an "eating disorder." At least I am not giving into my fake appetite and getting fat.
-

But to assume that the major cause of becoming fat or getting obese isn't overeating is complete bollocks to me. I know some people like to cover their ears and try to sugar it up with sweet PCness, but the only thing fatties have to blame is themselves. :zoinks:

Over eating is the major cause of obesity, but not 9999 times out of 10,000.

Obesity can cause diabetes. It is far from the only cause though.
But in an equal society, disabled people should technically get the same service as other people. That means no assistance.
I am not against assistance, but it shows that things can't be truly equal.
It depends on how you look at equal rights. The principle seems to be that disabled people should have the right to do what an able bodied person can do, and it is the responsibility of the company to ensure that the the disabled person can use the service as easily as an able bodied customer.
It does not seem to be "equal" in that everybody is treated the exact same.
-
Some things can probably make people put on weight, but not to that extent. You just have to have some fucking self control if you've got a problem with it. I was on tablets that apparently made people put on weight once. They did, but indirectly. They encourage you to eat more. There's a reason you don't get loads of fat people in places where there isn;t loads of food. It's not a disability like someone who can't walk
Why do you think obesity is on the rise? Obviously because people are eating more and more shite

I am aware there are other causes of diabetes. But unless I'm wrong, I never seen diabetes causing obesity.

Equal rights does hint that everyone should be treated the same. The fact you have to facilitate for variation and disability means it doesn't really exist, since they contradict the very notion of equalness. Something can't be equal if there are differences.
-
I would be more comfortable (assuming I was travelling alone) to have both seats to myself, so I don't have some annoying twat next to me. If I wanted that though, I;'d rightly be expected to pay for both those seats. Anyone should, regardless of the reason
Dunno if you've seen it in Irelant, but there';s a guy here saying he wants to sue the NHS for not helping him lose weight sooner. Wanker. Of all the things to sue, the NHS? Idiot

Typical, blame something else than themselves.

That cannot be possible. I can understand how someone could do it with a dog or a sheep, or similar sized mammal, but a duck. The dimensions just dont add up :zombiefuck:
Why would they do something like that anyway? Surely they could just do what normal people do, and use their hand.

Once when I went to a national trust park I went to the farm and there was a goat in his barn, and no one else was there, so I climbed over the fence and stimulated his prostate with my mobile phone, then I let him take me up the arse whle the farmer's wife photographed it. After that I bought an orange lucozade and a pencil saying "tatton park" on it and went home

Ducks lay eggs, which means the size of the duck's cloaca is about the size of a duck egg. So I guess it's physically possible.

Should we call on MythBusters to settle it? Better yet, we'll let it just die a natural death. The thought is too creepy.

But even as a child Mom didn't see how that was possible, but it has remained an endearing memory for me of my Grandma Janin. So, no I wouldn't consort with a duck. A Duke maybe, duck no.
That cannot be possible. I can understand how someone could do it with a dog or a sheep, or similar sized mammal, but a duck. The dimensions just dont add up :zombiefuck:
Why would they do something like that anyway? Surely they could just do what normal people do, and use their hand.
Ducks lay eggs, which means the size of the duck's cloaca is about the size of a duck egg. So I guess it's physically possible.
OMG :zombiefuck: you are right. I'm gonna have nightmares now :o Poor little duckies. I wonder if it would kill them, or if they'd just get up and waddle away. ???

I have gained weight in the last six months and the only reason I can put it down to is my medication, I haven't changed anything else, not the way I eat or what I eat or anything. It is really frustrating and I am doing exercise to try and lose what I have gained but nothing is really happening.
-
I'm on medication that is fairly inhibiting weight gain. I ate a fair lot around the christmas holidays and I only gained a 2-3 pounds. Normally I'd gain around half a stone or more easily.
-
I didn't really gain any weight around Christmas. It all happened at around June and July when I was in hospital. When I was there, I gained 2kgs in a week, probably because there was not much else to do except eat and I slept a lot as well. But I think I gained around 8kgs in total.
Curious to know what your meds are, Schleed.
-
Some medicine increases metabolism and some medicine increases appetite. When I was put on these pills when I was 12 to calm down my system because I was having seizures. It made me hungry all the time so I ate three times as much and I gained all this weight in a month. I would say it wasn't m fault because I was only 12 then and how many 12 year olds know medicine can make you hungry all the time but you really aren't and it's the pills doing it? But as an adult I know this so if I were to be on pills again that made me hungry all the time, I would not be eating more food just because my body is saying I am hungry. I would just know it's the pills doing this and if I give in and eat, I will gain weight. I would just eat three times a day and not more. No seconds, no eating more than one snacks in between. No putting two meals on my plate or three. I would limit how much to put on my plate.

What exactly is with this weight obsession and the bitterness some people have towards fat people when they are not he ones who need to lose it?
-
I don't care about fat people. It's their bodies, their life, not my problem. I don't want to be fat. It's all about me, not them.
-
What exactly is with this weight obsession and the bitterness some people have towards fat people when they are not he ones who need to lose it?
I agree. There is a similar argument with some people saying smokers shouldn't get free treatment for smoking related illnesses. The fact is we all do things that could be bad for our healh, even if it is just driving a scooter too fast.

I suppose in the context of this thread, it isn't so much bitterness against fat people per se, more irritation at the thought of them
encroaching upon other people's personal space, for instance, by overflowing their seat on an airplane, in a movie theater, etc.
It's the same irritation people feel if they're forced to breathe other people's smoke, IMO. Although I must admit, despite the fact that
smokers in the U.S are scarcely allowed to smoke ANYWHERE public anymore, I and many other nonsmokers still self-righteously judge them for smoking.
Meanwhile, as I nag my smoking friends to quit, I continue to eat foods that keep me fat. :duh:
-
Oh smokers, I get very irritated with them if they smoke in my personal space. I find it rude for someone to stand near and whipping out a cigarette and lighting it. I want to say "Do you mind?" but I am too passive too.
One time I get off work and it is pouring rain out. I go to the bus stop but I couldn't stand under the cover because there was a smoker there and worst of all I was pregnant and there was me standing out in the rain and I was all sore too from being on my feet for four hours and I couldn't even sit and relax to rest my legs because of that damn smoker. I just stood there thinking how rude he is and reminded me of how much I hate smokers even though I know not all of them are inconsiderate and not all of the do it. I wasn't going to expect special treatment but damn even if I wasn't pregnant, I would still think he was very rude because I was forced out in the rain even though I made that choice but damn second hand smoke is bad for your lunges and I just think it's so rude to smoke under cover and have other people stand out in the rain just so they protect their lunges. And you would think people would be more courteous towards you if they see your big belly but you'd be surprised. And I am so glad Oregon has passed a new law about public smoking, no smoking indoors and no smoking closer than ten feet to buildings. Now I wish they pass that law about smoking anywhere (except your own home) and make areas for smokers only so people can go to that area and whip out their cigarette and smoke and then leave when they are through. Now I wouldn't have to worry about people smoking in my personal space. Public parks would have areas for smokers and other places that aren't buildings.
Okay if you want to smoke, don't smoke in my apartment or around me nor around my kid. I will not make a fuss about it if you do it in your own personal time. But don't do it around me and my kid. If you smoke in your own home and car, I won't even come into your house and car.

The one new smoking restriction I disagree with is the ban on smoking in bars. Nobody is in a bar to get healthier! :fiveshots:

It's not just this thread soph although I like her has a tenancy to make threads along this line. If it was only about invading peoples space that would be one thing but it's not it's the outward loathing and disgust that is expressed in the threads

If that was the case then they should have exemptions if all the employees sign a waiver.

No, because in such an instance, employees could be put under pressure from management to agree to such a waiver in order to increase business. Bar employees are rarely unionized (at least where I live), so it is likely that an employer could force an employee to compromise his/her health in order to keep his/her job. Furthermore, any newly hired employees would be forced to sign such a waiver or be excluded from possible employment.

It might have something to do with insurance rates too.

I see your point, but feel government is beginning to overstep itself. In Ct you can still smoke in private clubs that have employees how about them, In NYC they want to ban it in parks also it's getting a bit much. This from someone who doesn't smoke or ever did on a regular basis

I get this feeling from Soph too. I would have thought that experience on the medicine that made her see how one could gain weight so easily would have affected her perspective, but apparently not.
-
The medicine made me gain weight because I started eating more crap - not directly

I wouldn't apply in bars. Period.

You have economic freedom. Some people don't.

Personally I'm not bothered if people smoke, and I don't go to bars or clubs. But I agree that employees would be under pressure to agree to it. Especially if they're really in need of the job. I think that's wrong

A lot of pubs shut down here due to the smoking ban. Less people went and pubs didn't get extra profit from cigarette machines.
However I am glad they did enforce it, fucking hated the smoke.

Looked that up when you mentioned it before. Looks as gross as it sounds.

Ihad one once. It was split between three people. Its actually tasty for the first tiny bite. Much more and Id puke though. Some people do eat them though. YUK

Fried chocolate just doesn't sound appealing to me either

I have only sat next to a horrendously fat person once on a plane and it was awful, but despite the amount of times I've travelled, I only recall this one time.
Plus, I think he had the attitude of 'these seats are so damn small it's alright to sprawl my arms and position my body in such a way I squash that woman next to me'.
My pet gripe now is when people try and tell me they have the window seat, when I always book it ahead. I've had several people argue the seating arrangement with me, the 'oh, I was here first, so I can pick any seat I want in this row' attitude.
I had one really argumentative woman once, totally holding everyone up because not only was she in MY window seat, she was in Seat A when she should have been on the other side of the plane in that particular row. She starts raving, unprovoked that I can just swap with her seat on the other side, she aint moving. We are talking over nearly 5 minutes of arguing and even the people behind her and in front of her were telling her she had the seat wrong and she had to move...so, patience ran out and I zapped her with,
"Listen, this is an aeroplane, not a cinema, your ticket has a number for a reason, not least of which, if the plane crashes, they will be looking for your body in the correct area. Now, it would be fantastic for you and I if you move out of my seat before someone calls the hostess and you are kicked off the plane before take off as a risk of aggressive behaviour."
She moved.

Awesome, Eclair.
I hate it when I get the middle seat and both people either side hog the arm rests. When that happened to me, I ended up going and sitting in the toilet for a bit of room around me.
