Should Overweight people be charged double?

Started by DarkCrawler6 pages

Yeah, they need to pay for two seats.

They should definietly pay for two seats otherwise the airport firm is losing out cos someone cannot stop eating

No way that would be so unfair to them.JM 😠

Well why is it fair that I should pay fullprice for one seat while this other person in effect gets a 2 for 1 discount? People are obese for sorts of reason, some are thier fault and some are not. Irregardless of WHY they are overweight they are still taking up more space. You pay for what you use, simple as that. And an airplane is by no means the only form of transportation available. Even going overseaes one can take a boat. Therefore you CHOOSE to fly. And if you choose to fly and take up 2 spaces you PAY for 2 spaces..

Poor fat bastards...

listen to all the fat nazi's in here eh?

what would happen if i said that i didnt want to sit next to a ****** or a kyke... and that if i was sitted next to one i would want a refund

isnt that the same prejudice?

some people cant help being overweight...but some of them can...but they shouldnt be made to pay more because of it

apparently obesity is ever increasing in the US...shouldnt buisnesses be thinking about catering for these people knowing full well that there numbers are increasing

i myself struggled with my weight for years...but ive lost about 70-80 lbs in the last 8 months and have built a bit of muscle as well and so am beginning to look pretty good...do i now turn around and harass fat people...hell no...

jaden, if they CAN help that they are overweight, they shouldn't nag in the first place that they have to pay double. If they don't like it, they have to exercise so that next time they only take up 1 spot.

Those that can't help it, are having a hard time as it is already without those lazy bums ruining the "general idea" about obese people.

if you want to levvy a tex on fat people that'll actually help them rather than piling on further ridicule (like telling someone they are required to buy to tickets cause their ass wont fit into one) then tax the food companies who churn out food that is laden with fat and sugars

There is a difference between not wanting to sit next to someone and not wanting to share a seat with someone.

and that coming from a highlander ... I thought this bull was only said by americans 😛

ah come on... that's like suing Starbucks for selling hot coffee. If you screw up your health by eating McDonalds every two days or something like that, it is entirely YOUR fault, not theirs. I believe every person has the basic intelligence to know that greasy food is greasy ergo making you fat

im not really talking about mcdonalds or even fast food in particular

generally people are more reliant on processed foods due to time constraints on their lives

is it so much to ask that the food companies avoid the overuse of salt and sugars to compensate for tasteless food and instead rely on a healthier may of making their products

in an ideal world people would have time to prepare additive free meals...but some people dont have that time

food companies are making huge profits y selling cheap garbage that is disguised with fat,sugar, salt and synthetic colourings and flavourings...it is so much to ask that the companies be either made to make healthier products that cost them...but not the consumer more...or if they want to continue selling that crap that they be taxed more and the money generated , put into other ways of promoting public health

Peopel are saying that its not thier fault that their obese, but it sorta is ( sorry for all you non-believers... im just telling the truth). People can controll what they eat. If they get fat? well guess what get lyposuckstion or go on a diet and work out. Dont me lazy... MAKE THEM PAY FOR 2 SEATS UNTIL THEY GET INTO SHAPE! 💃 ( work it ) or call 😖anta: for a bowflex extreme.

Obviously the "average" people should not suffer as a result of the overweight individual... then again, the overweight person should not have to pay more for the same service as everyone else. If he requires a different service, however, then he should have to pay a different price...

Well atleast make the seats bigger for the bigger people and dont charge them, but the seats r soo small right now. I get crushed by sum anerexic person in an airplane

overweight people no..... obese people yes.....and not nesscearly charged more but given different services.....

A mentally impaired person who cannot be confined to one seat should be treated no differently than an obese person who occupies more than one seat; When purchasing a ticket for a mentally impaired person who cannot be confined to one seat, the airline should be notified so that other passengers are not disturbed.

I don't think that is right.Just because a person is overweight does not mean they should pay more then the rest of us.How is that fair?jm

Is it right for someone obese to expect to be accomodated doubly, when they only paid for one 😉

No. They should pay more if they're using more.

Why do you think that?jm
