Thats b0llocks, if you weigh 40 stone you are less likely to perform some jobs as well as others, say perhaps a Police Officer, you tellin me you could have a 40 stone bizzie going round in a car chasing crimnals, behave thats just b0llocks. No one can ever change the colour of there skin and should be accepted in all walks of life and your skin colour should never stand in the way of you getting a job but if you are 40 Stone and want to be a police officer or A fireman it aint gonna happen so you have the choice to lose weight and make it happen.

What you have said there Bamaga Man is totally wrong and is political correctness gone mad, its like if a person who couldnt walk and was in a wheelchair wanted to be a fireman, well there is no way it could happen is there, and you cant say he is being discrimianted against because its just facts, he couldnt be able to perform the job the way a person who could walk could.

Less times than I'd care to admit.  My mates can vouch for that.

Why should any boss/owner of a business be forced by law to employ anyone? If they have a real problem with fatties/women/men/foreigners/black people/asians/etc, why should they have to spend their working day accomodating them? Realistically, what moral right do the Government have to insist that all businesses MUST actively recruit certain people?
If I were a boss of my own company, I wouldn't hire anyone who was French(! :laugh: )!!!!!
It's just a point, and before anyone accuses me of being racist/sizist/sexist, etc - f*ck you, I'm not!!!! :D

You just hate everyone equally!

If the job isnt physically demanding a fat person should have the equal oppotunity and right to work, just like a white man , black man or whatever.
Being refused a job because you are fat is just as insulting as being racist.

It's easy to say that - but given the choice of sitting opposite a size 10 beauty who wears nice low neck blouses and short skirts, or a 20 stone fatty, who wears the same, and lets it all hang out - I know who I'd choose.  Who gives a flying fuck if the beauty could do the job!  :D

I'd employ the fatty only because if there were that beauty opposite me , with it all hanging out .
I'd be without a job , sacked for sexual harrasment.  :D

i got 2 things to say.... ok

1: on supersize me they say how its wrong that a smoker can be shouted at for ruining there life, but if u see a fatty and say they need to sort it out then you arude. The fact is that fat people are more likely to die than slim people, theres so many more ways to die if fat.

2: fat people smell. sorry but its true. Obese people smell bad, even if they wash all the time, which most of them do. When you are fat and you sweat, it smells bad.

As for workers, i dunno, maybe the larger people work harder, well they arent walking around are they???

i dont mean to be rude, but fat people smell and will die, those are two facts.

i smoke, im 6ft3, and i weigh under 14 stone. if i quit smoking and became a porker id rather start smoking again... so there :p

But getting out of bed is what a fat person finds physically demanding....and im with you Hawkmoon it might be better sitting opposite the Size 10 beauty but in all honesty which one have you got the better chance of fu.cking.......Fatty wins handsdown!  :bowdown
