The Obese Should Have to Pay More For Airline Tickets

Is being fat really genetic. Some cases may be genetic but all cannot be. It must have much to do with eating habits particularly in the young ages. It is difficult to shed it once it has been aquired. If in the present age there are more fat persons it means it is due to present day life styles. Particularly eating habits. So there is nothing wrong if airlines charge more or insurers charge more premium due to a perceived risk factor.

I don't think its fair because there normal people not aliens

Holy cow! Talk about discrimination! How about charging tall people more because they take up more room? Or better yet, lets just start charging by the pound...its just about as ridiculous. I really believe the airlines are taking this too far....charges for food, luggage, security, and multiple surcharges all on top of already unreasonably high ticket fees. What's next.... oxygen?

Don't breed for basketball players. Breed for a cheap ride. It's more sensible. Make little people. Up with small and down with tall.

We should also charge smelly people for the inconvenience of their stench - both body odor and perfume/cologne stench.

We should charge ugly people for the inconvenience of having to try not to look at them.

We should charge people with kids for the noise and rowdiness.

We should charge sick people for the inconvenience of having to hear them cough and sneeze.

We should charge tall people for the inconvenience of their legs bumping our seats and their heads being in the way.

Smokers are already persecuted more than anyone else, so they should get a discount, or at least free booze to cope with the cravings.

If you can prove that you have a medical condition that is causing you to be obese, you should be able to get a waiver from a doctor saying so and not have to pay the extra fee. BUT, you should still be required to have two seats. Let your insurance pay for the other one. Honestly, there are so few actual instances of people who truly are obese due to medical reasons, it is mind boggling. MOST people who are obese are that way due to food addictions and lack of motivation to exercise or eat well.

America is becoming a nation of HUGE, overweight, sickly, sedentary slugs. It is nauseating. Honestly, how have we sunk so low in the past 30 year? It is an epidemic and making excuses or being an enabler is NOT the solution.

And EE7011, pregnant people only have to pay for their pre-pregnant weight. No sweat. Baby rides free.

Muscle weighs more than fat.

While we're at it, why don't we put a medically-certified weight section on the 1040 income tax form? Because fat people are going to be putting more stress on the roads when they drive as well, with their weight. Oh, but then also remember to report on your taxes what kind of a car you drive - I think people who drive mammoth SUVs and pickup trucks and have yachts should DEFINITELY pay more taxes, since they tear up the roads more, too, leading to more repairs...

While we're at it, I'd like to have all of you report on your tax forms if you have been vaccinated against measles, mumps, Rubella, chicken pox, polio, if you receive a flu vaccine every year as is recommended, etc. because you people getting these communicable diseases every year is what makes my health insurance go up.

Please, also, if you are a meat eater, please report this as well and be penalized $x more dollars a year - after all, the methane from the animals you are eating is polluting my air and you should be made to pay.

Anyone with children should be penalized BIG TIME. The more kids you have, the more you should be penalized, as your rugrats are the ones who are perpetuating crime, drug use, health issues, and teenage pregnancies to produce more brats, and I am paying out the nose for your and your children's mistakes! Plus I'm being taxed a school tax for my district for educating your monsters, and I really don't care if this society becomes totally illiterate.

You skinny people, don't think that you're getting away with anything. Are you yo-yo dieting? Can you provie that you're NOT bulimic or anorexic? Well then, I think you should end up paying more as well, since your increased risk of heart attack, anorexia, and dental problems is delaying the time I have to spend sitting in the emergency room waiting my turn while you sorry asses diet yourselves into disease.

Everyone should have their IQ tested and be tracked and charged accordingly for that as well. Fees should be charged on a sliding scale once you go below 125 IQ points. God knows I don't want to pay any more than I have to to keep you morons out of trouble. Too many of you blithering idiots are keeping vicious pets and accidentally sawing your limbs off while gardening.

While I am living my perfect, flawless, vegan, green life with my model's body and my 150 IQ on my deserted island, you all can hash out just what it means to be human beings who are supposed to be helping each other and having compassion for each other's foibles instead of being the petty, sniping, self-absorbed, selfish money-worshippers that our species seems to have become.

Aloha!

Phuleeze...I'm no overweight, but I am 5'11. At my weight (repectable for a woman of my age) It's hard for me to fit into the 17 inches that are allowed in coach. And where I am supposed to put my legs. That's why I always sit in the exit aisle. Next, you;ll be whining about the Vertically Challanged having to pay a surcharge as well. Give me a break. We should charge the righteous who believe that everyone but YOU should be surcharged because you are so very special. If you don't like it, upgrade to First Class where all of the seats and comfy coxy and you can drink your way out of your obession with people who have the unfortunate stigma of being overweight..

News Alert:

Effective immediately, the federal government will now include the following required fields on IRS income tax returns. State governments will also be following suit shortly:

-Medically-certified weight section to charge fat people more since they tear up the freeways, requiring costly repairs. Also, if you are underweight and cannot prove you are NOT yo-yo dieting, you will be charged more since our national health care costs for anorexia, heart attacks, and dental care are increasing due to you.

-Make and model of your vehicle. You SUV and pickup drivers are tearing up the crap out of our roads as well, and we'll need you to pay more.

-Medically-certified vaccination records, because people getting these communicable diseases every year is helping to increase health care costs.

-If you eat meat and how frequently, since the EPA has to pay for environmental cleanup due to the animal waste your "meals" incur.

-Number of children. Right, you already report this, but from now on you're getting charged for it, since your brats perpetuate more overpopulation with their teenage pregnancies, drive drunk, commit crimes, and are basically nogoodniks.

-Intelligence Quotient. You poor dumb people will of course pay more for your decreased intelligence that puts the rest of us at risk - unless you can prove that your stupidity is due to a medical condition.

While I am living my perfect, flawless life with my model's body and my 150 IQ on my deserted island, you all can hash out just what it means to be human beings who are meant to be helping each other and having compassion for each other's foibles instead of being the petty, sniping, self-absorbed, selfish money-worshippers that our species seems to have become.

Why don' t we just accomplish this by providing discounts to lighter people. That way it is a skinny discount and not a Fat tax which comes across as much easier to swallow. Those who want to try to get a discount would be the only ones effected. Young people and adult men and women under a predetemined threshold would get a discount.
