Reply #22: The National Association of Fat Acceptance? Really? [View All]

[Atman]

I'm a pretty tolerant guy...but fer chrissake...airplanes have been so downsized already, if you can't fit in the seat, buy yourself some extra room. It isn't YOU being inconvenienced, you're making things worse for the people sitting next to you. Sound insensitive? What if I want to fly naked or if I haven't showered in a month? I'm not saying being fat is the same, but there are certainly correlations. Me being skinny doesn't interfere with your space. You being fat and making it impossible for me to use my armrest and otherwise "enjoy" my already-limited space -- well, that's an issue. It's very similar to smoking. My NOT smoking doesn't impact you. Your smoking DOES impact me. Same basic issue here, as I see it.
