Not only do they have the right to do this, it might actually be smart. What happens when the trial lawyers start suing companies like Lowes because they let their employees smoke. They will say companies like Lowes are as much at fault as the tobacco companies in causing these poor helpless people to get cancer---

What about their obese? And don't tell me that LOWE'S doesn't have obese people working for them. When one out of 10 people in the US are obese, LOWE'S has to hire SOME of them!

How about working at LOWE'S being obese and falling dead from a heart attack at the age of 37 because of being fat? How about sueing then?

The attorneys have jumped on the bandwagon for obesity, so everyone better watch out. You/They could be next, and I'm not kidding. No one is safe.

What about their obese?

Many of the obese have taken up front-line positions in the war against having fun, which includes smoking.

As an example: Where I work, there is a very nice lady who smokes.... probably a couple of packs a day. She is still very attractive and in good shape, for her age (or any age for that matter). One day, (while she was minding her own business) another employee was giving her a hard time about smoking.

I was laughing my tail off because the anti was about 100 pounds overweight. It was obvious which one was going to live longer... I guess fatso didn't see the irony. The only thing that could have made the whole episode any funnier would have been if my smoking friend had taken her lit cigarette and "given" it to the loser.

You're right. In ten years or less, the nazis will be using the same tactics against gun owners that they are currently using against smokers.

What about homosexuals? Aren't they at a higher risk for ...ummmm, AIDS? Weeeee doggy, that could make your employee health insurance premium skyrocket. But then we don't want to be insensitive, do we?
