Question of the day...

[Exterminator]

so are you saying, If I decided to sell .. "mom's cookies" and put a booth on every block in marion county....the gov should step in, and make me STOP?

No and no one is suggesting the government step in and stop making anyone stop selling soft drinks or fast food either so all you are doing is stacking one ridiculous argument on top of another.  I did hear a discussion on the news last night, however, about taxing soft drinks to both decrease their consumption and help offset the healthcare cost associated with obesity and I don't consider the possibility any more unreasonable than taxing cigarettes or alcohol.

Good luck with your cookie machines...the fact of the matter is that few people are going to sit around eating one cookie after another all day long whereas lots of people drink one soda after another all day long.

I don't believe that the gov really care's about the heath of individuals when the so-called.."sin" tax...on alcohol and tobacco, is to get people to quit...they are doing it to generate revenue?....

why is it anybodys business if someone WANT's to drink cokes all day long?....

maybe the should start a 'skydiving' tax....

where does it stop?

When their fat ass is encroaching on my seat in an airplane, it's my business.

I assure you that a portion of every jump ticket I purchase helps to defray various fees and taxes imposed on general aviation and on fuel tax.

where does it stop?

It doesn't.

WRONG...fat people have the same constitutional rights as you do...don't like it....don't fly.

yeah, but that does NOT cover the 20 deaths every year due to skydiving.....maybe we should just outlaw skydiving to SAVE those twenty souls...   (said with very much sarcasm)

It doesn't.

awww...but it may well, very soon

[Exterminator]

WRONG...fat people have the same constitutional rights as you do...don't like it....don't fly.

Please refer me to the clause in the Constitution that says that if your fat ass takes up two seats on an airplane you still only have to pay for one.

I'm sure that more electricians than that are electrocuted on the job every year; should we close down your shop?  How about people who die just because they were doing something stupid; should we have prevented their parents from breeding (not that it's a bad idea)?

Did you say tea party?

Please refer me to the clause in the Constitution where fat people cannot fly?

btw....i agree with you that this IS a problem....but not a constituional problem....it is more of a Airline problem...

should we have prevented their parents from breeding (not that it's a bad idea)?

dang, every once in a darn while, we DO agree...

Did you say tea party?

Yep!! ... and I will give you a full report next week, after I attend the one downtown Indy...

It's simple physics!   

dang, every once in a darn while, we DO agree...

Yes, occasionally even you get it right.

HH, have you ever been on a plane and had someone else's flab oozing over into your seat that you paid for?  I fly a  lot and I think the airline's policies regarding two seats for overweight people is a good one.  I don't want anyone's flab in my seat.

yes I have been a victim before.....and I said earlier, that it SHOULD be an airline policy, I just said it is not unconstitutional...
