**** fat people.

I'll be damned if me, my future wife Jessica Alba, or any of our 20 kids ever get fat.

And stop gaying up this thread with stupid political BS. Isn't there a section for that?????

I love how civilian employees think they have power over military personnel when they are just lazy, stupid, and ignorant... and almost get run over by a 5k lb. pallet while yelling at me to watch where im stepping on his POS 7th hand purchased 747's pallet stop locks... then thinking he can redirect my "order" to instead of spotting the K-loader, he thinks he can force me to push a heavy pallet back to get his cellphone.

Dude... you seriously need to re-class, sounds like that job is going to give you a freakin heart attack.

Don't ever let a civilian think they're your boss. The civilians on a military compound are being overpaid to support the military. Not the other way around...and don't let them forget that lest I have to deal with them later.

Taxes sure do go a long way, but I don't personally like taxes, and ever think they are the solution. What you are saying is: you the bureaucrat, decided you know what's best for another person and are going to punish them by the use of force. That solution is subjective, not objective; you cannot sacrifice someone's liberty simply for your displeasure with sweaty fatties.

"We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself by the handle."
-Winston Churchill

Sure, the that fact that 30% of Americans are classified as obese tells you something, not that fat people are to "blame", or should be punished, but they are looters and have incentives to be fat. They are free to be as fat as they want, but what they aren't free to do is harm you or get in your way to pursue happiness as well.

When/if they cause your insurance rates to skyrocket, then you can complain. But insurance companies should have the right to deny obese customers coverage, or charge more for them specifically, at least in a true free market. If insurance companies actually had control over their business and customers, they'd deny these people coverage on most items. This would surely change incentives fast.

What is really scary is this Heath Care Bill that we just passed further "tips-the-scales" in the way of harmful incentives. When the government interferes in the free-market it is giving an unearned benefit, extorted by force, to some men at the expense of others. We are going to be punished to support their own self destructive behavior. They cannot be denied coverage, they cannot be dropped from their plans, and to top it off their fat kids will be covered until age 25, etc, all for free, all at no extra costs to them.

So why should they get healthy, and why should they give a **** about you?

Well, I'm not American, but I will post like I am one, so mind the first-person narration. If they have the right to abuse us in that sense, whether it be financially through taxes for their bullshit coverage or through person activity that is degraded by the sights, sounds and physical mass of obese people, then we should have the right to demand either A) Reimbursement, B) Changes to legislation requiring insurance companies to have completely different clauses and packages for obese people, C) Federal statutes prohibiting obese people from using certain public services or participating in certain public events (idealistically focused on the transportation and hospitality industry) and/or D) Implement an Obesity Tax of some sort, where obese people have to pay premiums for certain services.

I'm sure there are 1007 things wrong with all of that and that it would create so much conflicting response, but what else does it take for the government to realize that obese people are not on the same playing field as the rest of society? To me they are a burden.

Your intentions are fine and well, but government power doesn't go away once it's created. The same power that allows it to create taxes and penalties that happen to agree with your personal opinions will also allow it to create taxes and penalties that don't agree with your personal opinions 20 years from now when there is a different group in power.

No, our government's ONLY job is protect us from criminals and the harm of others. Our consitution is written to LIMIT the powers of government, not allow it to control our lives; unlike your kommie kingdom.

A. We have no right to demand some sort of payment from them for being fat. We do have rights to demand compensation for any money lost due to them being fat.

B. I absolutely agree with this, but the problem is, we need NO legislation because we are supposed to be in a FREE MARKET! If we had less government intervention in a private business's affairs, this would work itself out. A huge disincentive would be on the "weight" of their shoulders when deciding if they want to pig out like a fat **** or not. If they were not able to secure health insurance, or free coverage through the gov't if they are classified as obese, then they'd have the choice of paying out of pocket for the lifestyle they chose, or they'd make a change in order to meet the requirements to participate in a service rendered by a private company.

C. I disagree completely. Might as well add a federal statue that doesn't allow illegal mexicans to mow my lawn

D. You don't get it. **** taxes. This is NOT the role of our government. Who is the Gov't to say that I need to be punished because I made a conscious choice to be fat. This goes against everything America stands for; we are created equal and we are free to peruse our own happiness.

Very good point. Duly noted.

Sorry, I meant reimbursement for the taxes we would be paying to help fund these programs and such. I didn't mean an outright payment because we are thin and they are fat, ha ha.

Ha ha.... ah.. Mexicans. You are 100% correct. The only reason this is even an issue is because of the government and it's imposed limitations of EVERYTHING.

The government is supposed to represent the people as a society, aren't they? I thought the government is supposed to be our voice when we need society to hear it? In any case, the role of our government has long been abandoned by the assfucks in Office and they are essentially there to support criminals and the tax man. It's bullshit. I meant the government implement these or anything as a representation of the masses, so it would be the people that are directly affected that would be making the decision to tax or whatever.

Speaking as a contractor (civilian) that has dealt with the Military (Army and Air Force) this kind of behavior is stupid. As a contractor I always treat officers and enlisted with respect. I usually address the officers politely with yes sir and no sir, and by their rank and last name, at least until asked to do otherwise.

Not only is it respectful, but it is smart. If I treat people with respect then they are usually more helpful than if I act like some contractor jerk-off.

Is anyone else disturbed by those stupid Vagisil commercials? I don't want to see that ****. If they're going to complain and force the revisal and censorship of hilarious condom commercials then they should take off those, "Oh, my ---- is itchy and smells terrible and is secreting disgusting, puss juice. But never fear, Vagisil is here!" commercials.
