Just think, with public healthcare how much it will cost to treat all those fatties who get diabetes because they REFUSE TO WALK ANYWHERE AND PUT DOWN THE FORK.
Number 1 reason why public healthcare aint all it's cracked up to be .... fatties costing me tax money because they cause more physical damage to themselves than smoking a 25 pack of cigarettes a day.
And why the hell should I have to pay full fare on plane tickets when people twice my weight pay the same amount? They should pay for 'extra baggage', reducing the cost for me and my ticket. I propse that all flight tickets be 'Pay as you Weigh'
Tolerance, my friend.
Tolerance.
Yeah, I'll totally be going to the US by 2020 and pick up all the remaining hot chicks.
I am tolerant. Somebody makes a mistake, I expect them to correct it. If they correct it, water under the bridge ... as long as they don't do it again.
Doctor tells a guy "lose some weight" .... guy comes back to doctor "You've gained more, you must lose weight!" .... that's it.... you've been warned. Failure to commit to a weightloss program should result in termination of healthcare prividledges.
If they haven't got the will to change their lifestyle after their doctor tells them two or three times, they are never going to change.
It's not a matter of tolerance, it's a matter of social preservation and responsibility. I believe in public healthcare, but I also believe that it can only work best if people take responsibility to keep themselves healthy so that everybody gets free and equal treatment.
And before people say 'that's cruel' it's the same system we have concerning organ transplantation ... if you have proven yourself to be ill suited to receive an organ due to your activities of self destruction, then you don't get an organ which could be allocated to someone in the same situation but who have proven themselves as a worthy recipient.
