This is a disgrace

[Catzsy]

Example of a situation where a person can't help being fat?
Clearly they have plenty of money to buy food, so they should be able to afford to pay a bit more to fly.

There you go :

Hormonal causes
–Associated with poor linear growth
–Hypercortisolism: Cushing syndrome is any type of glucocorticoid excess (endogenous or exogenous); Cushing disease describes pituitary ACTH overproduction
–Hypothyroidism
–Growth hormone deficiency
Insulinoma
Hypothalamic obesity
–Tumors (e.g., craniopharyngiomas)
–Following neurosurgery or irradiation
–Head trauma
–Infiltrative/inflammatory
Genetic syndromes
–Prader-Willi syndrome
–Laurence-Moon-Bardet-Biedl syndrome
–Alström syndrome
–Cohen syndrome
–Down syndrome
–Carpenter syndrome
–Grebe syndrome
–Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome
Defects in metabolic/eating regulatory pathways is an area of intense investigation; multiple mutations are theoretically possible, but only a few have actually been discovered in humans
–Congenital leptin deficiency (extremely rare)
–Leptin resistance (more common than deficiency)
Drugs
–Chronic glucocorticoids
–Neuropsychotropic medications
Adiposogenital dystrophy syndrome

Maybe they have the money, but it doesn't stop it from being discrimination.

Many of those can be easily erm.. I forgot the word. Sort of like, dealt with, but it sounded so much more awesome. Obviously many of the conditions can't be so easily dealt with, but the weight side of it can.

Yes, some people would call it discrimination, but if that's what it takes to make them lose weight then I see no problem. It costs the airline more money (not a huge amount, but still) to carry the extra weight, so they should charge the fatty fat fatties a bit more than thin people.
I'm not saying it should be a huge amount, just enough to compensate slightly for the extra weight.

Well in that case, i guess black people should paymore aswell:rolleyes:

I would love to see your logic behind this.

[xPrecedent]

I agree.

[Caution]

I wouldn't want to sit next to a fat person(ah typing this i feel so ignorant) that was getting in my way if you see what i mean. If they don't have any condition like any that Catszy posted, then they should possibly have to imo.

Well in that case, i guess black people should paymore aswell:rolleyes:

They should have a bit at the back for them. I wouldn't get on a plane that had, erm, well.. one of them on it. jkn ofc, don't infract.

[Lost]

They just shouldn't be allowed on a plane if they're majorly fat.

yeah you're right, they should just get stuck on some kind of ship in a cage... :rolleyes:

Sorry? Are you a doctor in clinical obesity and the causes of it. These conditions cause weight gain as part of the clinical problem. This post is discriminatory and why say 'fatty fat fatties'? What does that achieve? Its the luggage that has to be weighed strictly as it goes in the hold and there is a weight limit in the hold - that is why the luggage is weighed and the people aren't. You'll be saying next that people with anorexia should pay half fare.
