Subject: "Overweight or unhealthy people... could have their benefits s...

You look around.You fire your weapon before you realize.
Its just me. I fall and you walk up. You cry why.
When i pop up. You look at me in wonder. I say,"ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL."
You bend to my will and go to a cliff, walk off, and fall.
The last thing you hear is me stating as fact,"All will fail the battle of life, you just went early"

...In England.

Do you like this plan? Do you think this could work? Or do you think the lazy Obese/unhealthy people will continue to be as such?

Without thinking about protesters, do you think this could work in America as well?

Personally, I like this idea, especially if these obese/unhealthy people are a drain on their society.

Halo: Tactical

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

I'm not liking the undefined "unhealthy people". Please specify, OP.

Also, the full title is "Overweight or unhealthy people... could have their benefits slashed"

Id reduce the size of the title if I were you.

This doesn't seem too bad actually, it would make our country healthier and we'd have more money to put towards the nhs because there will always be those who don't try.

Any condition where exercise could be prescribed as a treatment I imagine.

So say, Type II Diabetes.

I'd much rather have VAT on junk food increased.

The article doesn't say, but I assume it is talking about people with cardiovascular health problems or something similar. I can't say for sure what they meant with that though...

Is there a rule against it?

If not, then it shouldn't be a problem. People can just read the article to understand it.

That penalizes those who eat such food responsibly, nor does it target every overweight person.

You could weigh 300 pounds and eat steak and potatoes all day - and never get hit by any VAT tax on "unhealthy" foods like potato chips or chocolate bars.

I've got a fan!

Smokers and people with preexisting conditions pay higher health premiums; people that wreck their car frequently pay higher auto insurance; it just makes sense for people that refuse to do what they can to stay healthy should pay more for their health insurance or have fewer benefits at the same price.

Pretty sure eugenics is irrelevant to this discussion.

Eugenics is the movement to a fit and stron human race with no defects. It may sound good but it's really jut the works of several disgusting human beings with stupid people like OP and several posters following them.

Cutting the benefits of people who are a drain on society is in no way "Eugenics".

If we went round sterilising them (or forcing them into our specially built "showers") then you'd be right.

Eugenics is not the movement to a fit and strong human race per se, and to claim the OP is part of this "movement" because he posted a news article about possible higher rates for obese people is absurd.

Forcing obese people to not reproduce = eugenics
Charging people more for services that their lack of willpower makes more expensive = not eugenics

This world wants to drag you down... And the weight, that guilt they want to hang around your neck, you don’t have to carry it one more step. You think they won’t let you rest, but it’s not up to them. It never was.

Overweight or unhealthy people who refuse to attend exercise sessions could have their benefits slashed, in a move proposed by Westminster Council.
Full quote, for the sake of context. It would seem the only people who apply here are ones with health conditions treatable by exercise.
