Damn straight. Show a pair of lungs with bitch tits hanging off em. Like yours? looks like someone needs a "manzier"

Bullshit. Give me numbers. How many cyclists die or are injured every year compared to drivers on our freeways? Normalize it based on participants in said activity if you'd like. And how much does that cost the system? Now compare with the costs of health care for obesity-related care. It's ludicrous to propose that cycling-related injuries are driving up health-care costs. You can do better than that. And face it, what is increasing in this country along with health care costs? Cyclists? Or Obesity? Where do you thing the stronger correlation might be?

Perhaps it's who I know, but I know more athletes who've required extensive, expensive, knee surgery than morbidly obese. i don't know any athletes who've had that type of surgery, but lots of obese people who have

health care costs and cost of social security to start with

Bullshit. People should be charged by the pound. Especially those pregnant people--they are adding to the overall cost anyway. (Discount if they help out all those guys with lactating-MILF fantasys though--stress reliever). nice try, you keep bringing up pregnancy costs. But do you actually believe that the cost of pregnancies (pre-natal care plus delivery costs) in the US even compares to the cost of health care to treat obesity related problems, procedures etc? Do you know how much a friggin' knee-replacement operation costs for example? and let's not forget the CO2 footprint. Fatter people consume more (and expel more waste). At least that hypocrite Al Gore is not a lard-butt and if anything, rising health care costs can NOT be tied to higher pregnancy costs...

all the people here getting all defensive about this notion that fatties would pay extra crack me up. we're not talking about someone who could stand to lose 10, 20, even 30 lbs. that has probably happened to all of us at some point, and could happen again. There are an alarming number of folks in this country who are 50, 100, 150 lbs overweight... and more. there are huge consequences to this life style on all of us.

I probably disagree with about 35% of what is deemed "right wing"

hey, good job. I'm between 60 and 65. what kills me is people who think that going on a 10 mile hike, or biking to work is some gargantuan, strenuous, fitness-freak outing. "you bike from Bellevue... wow". actually, no, that's not much of a physical exertion - get off the couch and try to do something...

I still kicked your ass up to camp muir.

this may be the most accurate statement ever made on cc.com i'm shocked it came from KK. go figure. right wing nuts like sex too. i never would've guessed You know, the "people pigeon-holing" gets real tiresome. I've got plenty of positions to differentiate myself from the run-of-the mill right-winger. take off the blinders.

Yeah, I used to be 140/90. These days it's more like 120/70.

and since you dislike road grit in the ass-crack, I can assume sex on the beach is "out" with you too?

Have you purchased life insurance? You get a physical, and they take down your weight. The premium depends on whether you are overweight, smoke, have high-blood pressure, etc. That is fair, and I think the same should be done for health insurance, especially if it gets nationalized. There is a difference between suffering from an ailment due to "bad luck" (including genetics) and purposely engaging in an unhealthy, destructive lifestyle.

I am opposed to waterboarding. Is that clear enough? Although I'm OK with chinese-water torture since that is roughly what riding in the rain is like.

How would you feel about all drivers paying the same rates irrespective of their driving history? Exactly.

Actually, that is kinda funny now that you mention it. 1) I stated that I felt waterboarding IS torture 2) Having a light-hearted thread, with non-political bent would be nice for once 3) I never stated I was a hero for riding my bike in the rain No 13.: go fuck yourself

or that costly operation to fix his cranial-rectal inversion

it's all about spreading out the expenses for my costly hobbies.
