It's about time fat people paid their fair share. I'm tired of paying for someone's extremely high health care bills simply because they choose to sit on the couch all day eating ice cream and twinkies.

Are you serious?????? Don't let your prejudices against fat people cloud your thinking into letting the left unleash it's fat police.

Don't let your prejudices against fat people...

So you are saying that fat people can't help getting that way???

PLEASE(!!!), don't let your bigotry and hatred for fit people let the left unleash more burdonsome taxes on fit people!!!

This is just, much like the tobacco flap, and to an extent the SUV flap, another way to pit one American against another. This allows some people an opportunity to feel superior to another group of persons and give them carte blanche to deride and ridicule them. Anyone who feels comfortable being so disgustingly cruel to another group of people obviously has very little going for them in their own life. Then comes the government and throws them an excuse to feel they are better and those weak-minded get drawn into the net.

Yes, most obese people are that way because of their own life choices. But many obese people probably can and I pray will, loose weight, but I fear the fixing of the hearts of the 'elite' may be a little harder proposition.

Yes, I am obese. Yes, I caused it. It is a fairly recent thing (in terms of my years) and no I am not happy about it and no I am not doing enough to correct it. However, I am not ashamed to disclose just how much my obesity has NOT cost the taxpayers or anyone else. I have not seen a doctor in 29 years, but have continued to pay the same premiums as anyone else.

The insanity could go on forever. To a large extent we are all responsibility for our own health problems. The insanity could go own forever--

The more I read the usual suspects ranting on every thread against smokers, overweight people, etc. the more I become convinced of their shallowness.

Their vituperativeness is so out of proportion to the subject that it bespeaks an irrational amount of weight given to style rather than substance, the cover rather than the book.

Bores.
