Should Obese Passengers Be Charged For Extra Seat? by kpomkwem(m): 2:33am On Nov 25, 2008
Do you think that obese people, who occupy an extra seat in a plane, should pay for that extra seat?

Re: Should Obese Passengers Be Charged For Extra Seat? by osisi6(f): 2:38am On Nov 25, 2008
they already pay for the extra seat,if you occupy 2 seats why shouldn't you pay for 2?
can you go into mama Nneka's buka and ask for 2 plates of rice and pay just for one?
It's only fair

YES YES YES, THE MTA should look into this measure to close their sillyass budget gap instead of a fare hike, Mad people.

I am sure these lazy people will cook and stop going to MD to eat junk.

Yes of course why should i and someone like Rubben Studdard or Fat Joe pay the same amount for a plane ticket when its obvious they would occupy more spaces than i would
Re: Should Obese Passengers Be Charged For Extra Seat? by CodeRED(f): 3:20am On Nov 25, 2008
Osisi and HR let me apologise, Honestly, I missed that vital part. I meant to say, those who deliberately make themselves fat.  I am aware that genetics play a huge role in one's makeup. My bad. sowry grin

Last year I was on a jetblue flight to Las vegas and this 340lb elephant was near me. SHe was all up in my "lil sef", I had to be wiggling like a worm to just to get my share of oxygen. And what really threw me off was when she decided to see. Her carryon was filled of snacks( all junk)
Re: Should Obese Passengers Be Charged For Extra Seat? by savanaha: 3:24am On Nov 25, 2008
In the movie "why did I get married" they did and she couldn't pay so they told her big butt to go walk off the fat and shame. That is really discrimmination.

Re: Should Obese Passengers Be Charged For Extra Seat? by CodeRED(f): 3:30am On Nov 25, 2008
HR you are NOT obese( I have seen your pic wink)

*osisi:

Yes my dear I am fully aware of that too. One once told me, well her mother is fat, grandmother was, so it's ok if she gets fat too. NONSENSE
Osisi I hope that Jamaican has finally let Mr.Osisi alone o, ( or I will have to come flexicise me muscles on her now grin

Seriously, I was placed on hormones a couple of years ago and it really added some pounds and I was taunted by my friends a lot. And to think I just simply went from a size 2 up to a 6 and I was called fat. So I empathise with fat people, especially those who have no control over it at all.
