It's Canada for petes sake...you really think they would have ruled differently?

Mike 11-25-2008 10:40 AM

I hope they are not lumping overeaters/"food addicts" into this ruling, I feel it should be reserved for a very few severely obese people who suffer verifiable physical disorders. If the disease concept of food addiction is honored here in this ruling, then I feel they need to provide smokers with a place on airplanes (and every other public place), and us drug addicts should have an area on the flight to get a little higher if need be

Cant the beasts just get sent as big brown packages... UPS.
I envision an excessively neat squeeky white board drawing.
The word lumping works well here as well.

Here's a novel approach. Lose some ****ing weight you ****ing fat ass. According to all the BMI figures I could stand to lose 20-25 pounds, but to be 200 + pounds overweight? Lose weight fat ass. It's rulings like this and many others like it which has helped the pussification of the Americas movement. Why are they flying anyway? To see relatives? Or...to eat all of the relatives food? Oh...here comes uncle ernie. Hide the Doritos and ice cream.

And what if you suffer from Paranoid Schizophrenia??


Should you still be forced to buy up a whole block of seats just for yourself?

really... its a Canadian ruling... what do you expect from the Canadians? They are as PC & as liberal as it gets.

Also Canadians need to be fat so they can stay warm in their nasty winters!

maybe they could seat anorexics next to the obese-you could potentially get three people into three seats that way-

;) So much for beating around the bush. As you can see, stuff like this drives me nut. :eek:

Do I get a rebate for the people that hang over their seat into mine? I hate when that happens. Sometimes they TRY to stay on their side but others just hang out, spread their legs and enjoy 30% of my side. That pisses me off. They should make all obese people sit together.

:mad: a$$ hole!!

I wonder if people on planes get mad at me because I always seem to have to cross my legs to sit.. and not cross em like a lady but like a guy with my foot and knee sticking out. Im a pretty big chick to begin with 5'9" with some added weight too (I'm not fat enough to get overflow a seat thats for sure but I have real broad shoulders so I gauruntee my shoulders and elbows go into others space).

I cant sit in a plane with out crossing my legs. I dont get it.. if you have long legs where the heck are you supposed to put them!?!? I think airplane seats just need to be more comforatble.
