Obesity is a disability.

Obesity is a character flaw. Paralysis is a disability. Cerebral palsy is a disability. If anyone with an actual disability had the choice to be otherwise they would. Someone who weighs a sizable fraction of a metric ton can resolve that by an act of character. The choice is theirs.

I am glad this guy sued. I have a niece who was let go from a fast food place. Because she was, as they said too big for other staff to manouver around her at the counter.

So your niece potentially created a fire and safety issue for her coworkers and, perhaps, her customers, as well. Did the restaurant have an obligation to modify their building at great expense to accomadate your niece or, perhaps, do you think your niece owed it to the people she worked with to make her butt small enough to get around?

kenmore kenmore:

She was 16 and this had a lasting effect on her. She has had and eating disorder ever since and she is in her late 40s.

Her problems are not the employer's problems nor should her coworkers suffer because of her issues. Maybe if your niece would figure out that passing up on that eighth helping of poutine is a good idea she'd do better in life.

I recall in college a girl was attracted to me who was rather large and I told her she was not my type. When pressed I told her I found fat to be unattractive. I hurt her feelings because I would not date her.

Is that my problem? Should a Human Rights Commission have forced me to date her to make her feel better about herself? Or should she take steps to make herself more attractive? Hmmm?

Same goes for an employer.

Heck, the Navy doesn't have fat guys on subs because they can't navigate the hatches. Whose fault is that?

You missed out. Fat chicks are awesome in the sack.

thats a myth that losers who get with fat chicks try to pontificate in order to rationalize and justify the fact that they can only get fat chicks

Hey, maybe I've never done a 10, but I had a threesome with two 5's. .

[Demian_164]

hahaha, i wonder since it mathematically adds up if its then just as good?

Liquor alters perspective. Lots of times I've gone to bed at 2 with a 10 only to be woken at 10 with a 2.

I've been with a 10, matter of fact I married her. And she ain't no 5+5 either!

I've got just one question...

...What did she see in you?

[Lemmy]

My wife's a 4, but I use the Clydesdale Scale.

I couldn't be a model or a flight attendant because I am too short... Should I sue all airlines and model agencies now?

Wear stilletos...

Wanna wager on how much of that $2K ends up in the cash register at KFC?

That's a lot of double downs...

I've had 'em all from a 1 to a 9(10s only exist in the movies), fat chicks try harder and are in general more fun. That is however just s generalization, some of the hot chicks try hard, and some of the fatties can't be bothered.

So, because of his weight he couldn't perform the job and was told that.....that's insensitive how? He can't stand for long periods of time and he wanted to be a flag person? WTF? More PC bullshit again.

Yogi Yogi:

When he called Steenson to ask why he had not been offered a shift, she told him that because of his weight, "it would be too hard on him to work a long shift as he could not stand that long," according to tribunal documents.


She was only telling him the truth. Obviously he took it as a personal Jabba!

She was deciding for him how long he could stand and why?
She was coming up with bullshit to cover the fact they didn't like him because he was fat. Nice try, the Judge didn't buy it either.
The $2000 was cheap.

I played football when I was in y 20s and was going to try out pro. I applied for a taxi license when I was in college and the fuckwad plain didn't like me. In the privacy of his office he told me he'd decided I was 'morbidly obese' and required a doctor's note to do the test. There was no Human Rights Board to call.
In the privacy of his office, realizing the unsufferable shithead didn't even look at my height, my name or anything but 240 lbs, I scooped my papers off his desk and punched him in the mouth.
He was out cold on the floor when I quickly left and drove away as fast as I could.

Just as I'd do to anyone who jeered because I was white, hetero, or Protestant.
