I only do that when the person acts like it...

What is most telling here...

Nobody wants to question the substance of what I say, only in the manner which I deliver it.

Hmmmm.....

Hmmmm.....

I certainly question the "substance" of your "arguments." But, as you consistently rely on nonsense and illogical premises, I have decided you are not worth arguing with. I might be more interested if once, you used a single fact to support your claims.

Sigh.... This whole thread is about an OPINION. This all started with me making a comment about how I think it is scary that people are willing to more and more all the time, allow our governments tell us how to live. Period. So others, in case you were wondering, that is how we got here... LOL

Of course, as is usual in internet forums, we treaded off the beaten path. Which, if nothing else, was fun.

Nonsense and illogical premises eh? We shall see...

I think it's time to pull the pin on this one, but I really look forward to the next one.

Free people having a free exchange of ideas, ain't it grand?

Ok I have read everyones post and being the slightly twisted person I am, have this running through my mind. Picture this.

I get a job at MDonald's. I am working the drive through. A woman drives up about 50 lbs overweight and orders a meal. I tell her "hey fatty you sure you want fries to go with that, looks like you have had all the fries you need"? Ha ha ha I love the look on her face. Next person comes up. A balding guy with a hurried look on his face and a flabby gut. I tell him to bug off and exercise during his lunch hour. Next up soccer mom with her three bratty kids, I tell her I will report her to child welfare for poisening her kid with this junk. What a great daydream. Wouldn't it be great to be able to do that, just once, you know you want to?

Thank God we can't. This is still America and that means people can be stupid, mean, fat, smoke, and there really isn't much we can do about it. Well now that I have said my peace I am opening my fridge for some Chunky Monkey. The bottom line is that we are all responsible for our own weight and health.

AH but what seems stupid to you does not seem stupid to another... therefore you are no better than what you are arguing against here. Just because YOU don't agree with it doesn't make it stupid.

"If it is stupid and works.... than it is not stupid"

Catty1, you want to see grease. Anyone ever visit a Fast Eddie's? I worked at one briefly. You would be appalled. They grill their burgers, flip them and then stack them ina drawer.... that drawer does not get emptied until the end of the day... by that time there is 6-8 inches of grease and you have to reach into the grease to get a burger out. So not only are burgers just greasy they SOAK in their own grease for hours and get pulled out of that grease and slapped onto a bun. BARF. It was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen.... but their burgers are also like .70 cents LOL so I guess you really do get what you pay for.

I do like that idea about refusing service. Hmmm that would be interesting but imagine the uproar that would cause LOL. But I say if people can sue McDonalds because they are overweight than McDonalds can protect themselves by refusing service to those overweight... although that would never happen since that is a major source of their income. They would take a major hit to the pocket book so they would never enforce it.

AWESOME.

Can you imagine the "mainstream" TV news stories about this one???

And all the lawyers going "CA-CHING!"

LOL
I just spent 30 minutes dissecting this thread trying to figure out who is related to who...and who is the baby's Daddy. I almost called in Maury.

I'll chose Dim Sum over McDonalds any day.

Have a good evening folks, and thanks for the laughs.
