Talking about Sweden is an ultrabannable offense.

Too bad being completely and utterly wrong isn't a bannable offense.

You stupid -blam!- Americans and your stupid -blam!- bill of rights.

Im out. Holy -blam!-.


Yep, but Im the "ass" here.

That stupid piece of paper gives you an excuse to be a total -blam!- jackass to people just cuz you feel like it. It you use it as an excuse to shoot people.

I bet next it'll be used as a justification to invade because X country is hamming up on your -blam!- rights or something.

It's not a law. It's a responsibility. That's how society works - younger, able-bodied people have a responsibility to take care of those who are older and need help. It's called being an adult.


Sounds like an opinion to me.

Actually as an adult it is their responsibility to set themselves up so they dont require help from the younger people. By requiring help from others, the original older person is being irresponsible.

If the person ate healthy and exercised he would require no help and not act rudely in demanding a seat. I will not respect someone who does not respect me.

You know most people that are fat are fat because their parents were fat and the gene was just passed on.

...are you serious?

No, that "stupid" piece of paper gives me freedoms.

Sorry, but why do you think its my responsibility to get up from my seat for a non-disabled, non-elderly, adult?

Call me rosa parks. Im not giving up my seat.

Don't worry, you have the right to be a poor excuse for a human being.

-blam!- me, Garland, its been a while and he's changed his name.

If overweight due to problems out of their hands, there's nothing wrong with it. Nobody however, becomes obese due to it. It's simply down to being a lazy bastard that eats to much -blam!-. Obese people need to stop making excuses.


You did nothing wrong. This thread has pissed me off a little.

I don't see how OP would have been inconvenienced by letting the fat guy have his seat. If nothing, it would have made everyone happy. Can OP not stand for a short ride?

First come, first served.

Should I give up my spot in the DMV line because a fat guy is behind me and he has to stand longer?

I don't see how anyone can be taking the side of the fat guy. Why can't the fatty stand for a short ride? Sitting on his ass all day is how he got fat to begin with.

Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

Might as well ask the next logical question.

Okay, you "stick up for yourself" (whatever that is) and despite the fact that you absolutely know that you're better able to stand on a moving bus than the person who you have decided is "their own worse enemy and responsible for their own problems" and you maintain your seat, he sighs, shrugs, and waddles off to grab an nearby pole and does his best to hang on.

The bus takes a turn, hits a bump, swerves and this man goes tumbling (when fit and morally superior you would have bent your knees and handled it). Still his fault? He falls and injures himself? What if he falls onto someone and they are both injured? Still his doing? Still feeling morally just and proper? You didn't contribute to the harm done to him and maybe others? Do you still feel good? Maybe even laugh at this example of cosmic justice?

Who would be contributory and somewhat responsible for those injuries? He tried to take steps to make his bulk more safely seated, his attempts to do so were denied and rebuffed (no pun intended). Does he sue the bus line? Does the little girl that he crushed? The driver for not making sure that people in obvious need of being seated were not seated and were unsafely standing and a danger to others?

Just wondering how this plays out in the minds of others.

That's different. You're all standing, and there's an order to the line for a reason.

On the bus, you're all going to the same place, so it doesn't matter what order you're in.

Thats really not his fault. Its an accident. Falling and injuring someone else or yourself is an accident.

This is lunacy.

Of course it's his fault.

I'm not responsible of some fat guy falls down and hurts himself.

Lol@ people comparing OP to Rosa Parks.

-OP is on public transit
-Public transit is run by the government
-Government considers obesity to be a disorder (because it is)
-Denying a seat to a disabled person on public transit is discrimination

You could if you were a nice person with a shred of compassion.

Rather unfortunate that you aren't.

I've never been on a bus that only went between two stops.

Won't be long until being lazy is a disorder.

LOL being fat is a disability. Thats classic.

Okay, I guess my working out is a disability too. I just went to the gym, Im tired and I cant stand, I need a seat.

I had a long day at work, get up I need the seat.

Sorry, but Im not getting up. Call me rosa parks

*sigh*

You know what I mean. The bus will make its stops no matter who is on the bus, and what order they're in, which is entirely different from being in a line at the DMV. OP would still get to exit the bus at his stop whether or not he was sitting.
