Fatties have right to extra airline seat (1 Viewer)

Um, you're just proving it's mostly environmental like he said. How is that helping your argument dofus?

Trefoil is right. SimonLee13 - you're just giving evidence to support the side you're opposing.

Make bigger seats so that everyone benefits...

This post wins.

Do you think anyone would complain that their seats were too big? I think not. The concept of stuffing people into planes like sardines in order to produce profit is the cause of this problem. Without profit, there could be just as many seats as there are now, however they could each be of a size which makes it comfortable for all people to travel by plane.

Again Capitalism proves to be the cause of all evil.

Um, I see...

lol it's not the fault of capitalism.

They made pigs out of themselves and decide to cry about it. The plane is too squashy? go find another mode of transport. Or actually get healthy and lose weight. No one is forcing them to go via plane. No one forced them to be fucking fat. It's their fault.

 

[sam04u]

No. They'd just complain they were way too expensive.

You totally missed the point of everything I said. Cut out the idea of "profit" and then with the same cost of tickets today, there could be bigger and more comfortable seats. At the end of the day the purpose of these airlines is not for comfort and affordability, but rather it's for profit.

cats are pretty small man, i know some cats who could have one sausage and live comfortably

 

[kokodamonkey]

Mostly your own retarded fault you're a fatcunt -> pay for your own extra seat.

exactly. Just like we charge people more for extra luggage, we should charge more for extra "baggage"

 

[russs]

Look how happy the cats with 4 sausages are.

:uhhuh:

 

[boris]

Sam, making the seats bigger to accomodate a larger proportion of the population will increase costs more than letting fat cunts have 2. think of the lsot seating space due to larger seats. they are already designed for 95% of the population or something like that.

Im getting sick of this obesity can be a medical problem shit. Give me proof. When you provide the proof im sure the numbers will be like 5% of fat cunts are fat because of a medical problem.

The fatty fats should have to walk/run/swim to their destination to loose some of that lard, the people of correct weight or underweight can be afforded the luxuries of flight upon an aeroplane. Furthermore, the fat people should pay for the food of the other people because they have already eaten more than their fair share.

 

[that bloke]

thats the worst logic i have ever heard of.

It's the most base, simple logic you could possibly apply.

And regardless, one doesn't have to go so far as famine to see the logic. Last time i wandered around Vietnam, Thailand, Brunei, i didn't see too many fat people. And i sure as shit didn't see too many fat kids! These places might be third world by our standards, but they typically have full bellies and smiles on their faces. Those "genetically predisposed" folk in these countries seem to get by without becoming obese. Perhaps because they are not lazy gluttonous bastards.
Obesity epidemic? Bleh, what a shite state of affairs it is when such a term could exist. And if such an epidemic exists, shouldn't there be drastic action to combat it, and not more allowances made for it?? It could almost be likened to monetary endorsement of being a lard-arse. Hey, the courts say its OK for me to be obsese, so hey, its OK for my child to be obese too! YAY.

"Imagine explaining jogging to some starving Somali?
- Yeah, well, its like this. I eat so much, i have to run so's i don't get fat, eh"

 

[murraytaylor123]

sam04u, do you think that if there was no concept of 'profit', that the plane, or the the entire airline, would exist at all??

do you honestly think that an organization like this would go out of its way to provide a free service to everyone, regardless of the costs involved to the airline of doing this?

you rubbish capitalism for giving advantage to some and disadvantaging others, and this is true, but under a socialist rule, everyone is to be equal - equally poor and impoverished.

awesome thread lollzzz

We are not talking about your average obese person here. 99% of the australians that fall under the classification of overweight easily fit into an airline seat, this has nothing to do with the obesity epidemic. We are talking about morbidly obese people, people who cannot physically fit into a standard airline seat so they need to buy two.

Generally you do not get that size without something seriously wrong with you, the causes can be huge and varied one of the more common causes is something like hypothyroidism. Rarely can it be attributed to laziness or gluttony.

Your experiences can be explained by far too many factors to make it a valid study, the most obvious ones are culture, climate, economic situation, availability of food and medical care. Its possible all the people with this problem all ready died due to lack of care. I guess thats just where survival of the fittest comes into it.

Its funny that people complain about socializing airplanes where we all have to pay an inflated rate to take care of the minority. Well isnt that basically what our hospital system does? we pay more taxes so that the sick can be looked after. I have no problems in paying an extra 10cents or whatever so that a sick individual can reach their destination in comfort. Hell, i would pay it just so i dont have to sit in a seat next to them with all their fat spilling out into my lap.

Ofcourse an airline could exist in such circumstances. It's quite possible to achieve a permanent state of "break even", where the workers including the higher ups would all be paid a reasonable amount. Instead of a system where the purpose is to exploit the customers by attempting to squeeze out as much money as possible, in order for there to be more profit. Do you understand that concept? Such an airline would be more appealing due to the fact that it would be focused around providing the best service for the customers, at the most affordable rate possible. So there would be no "free" service, just very good service (likely at the same costs).

That's fine with me buddy. If everyone has to be poor for them to be equal, for them to not have more value in every sense of the word, other than for their merits, then I'm all for it. Bring on mass poverty.

Ofcourse the truth is that is complete rubbish. There are enough sausages to go around. And under a fair system, 70% of the cats get twice as much sausage.

I'm struggling to work out whether or not I support what you're saying.

 

[spyro14]

No way. Eating is an addiction like any other. It's harder than you think to quit. They must hate themselves enough already. We don't need to punish them any further. They should get the same treatment and price as anyone else. Yes Overweight people have right to extra airline seat.

What a suprise that a person who named itself rockyroad said that.

 

[boris]

Lol shes a massive fat cunt too. Irony.

 

[siddharthlaha]

maybe they should just make a few bigger seats, and fit them when needed

 

[tacogym27101990]

i think the shittest thing is that they still get the same baggage limit as people that aren't fatties.
it's not really fair that we can only take 20 kilos of luggage, when they could potentially weigh up to 80+kilos more than us, and they get an extra deat for free.

fatties.
