Well that's a relief that now in NYC you can be fat. So apparrently the new "anti-discrimination" law  is now in effect for height and weight. It seems to me all that does is encourage someone to be unhealthy. Not making "fun" of a fat person ... just making fun aka disgusted with this unpractical and destructive law. I guess this includes midgets and basketball players too in the law. They must be running out of categories of "special protected" people.  | ||

I identify as "Under Tall". What do I get??? Just GMAFB already... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Great, just wait until they start hiring 400 pound NYFD firefighters who can’t do the job. | |||

It means you now cannot have weight and size restrictions for anything - like who is allowed to win the marathon, who is allowed to fit in a cop uniform, etc. Oh, and that XL shirt damn well better fit the lady in the pic or you will hurt her feelings.  Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I flew smaller airplanes for a few air taxi / charter companies. I remember the day that a family of huge people showed up for a flight and I had to offload 40 gallons (240 pounds) of fuel, to remain within weight restrictions for take-off. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

Well, the lardos have been whining for a while that the airlines make them pay for two seats. How long before the lard lobby sues them under this NY statute? _______________________ “The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals.

Does this now make it illegal for women to prefer six feet tall and a six inch dick? Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well. -Epictetus | |||

Try being very thin in today’s society. “Look at you,you so skinny you make me sick”. I’ve heard that one a thousand times at least. All of my life. But if I say “hey fat person,put the fork down” I’m the jerk. I don’t feel sorry for overweight people. And folks hate a skinny guy. That’s just 64 years of my observation. | |||

Why not charge like UPS does? Charge the higher of a rate for the seat, or a rate based on total weight (including the passenger plus checked and carry-on bags). הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

Plus size passenger demands free extra seat because she can't fit in her seat. https://www.newsweek.com/fat-o...size-airline-1795006 | |||
