Kwaabish - Um, you do realize the article you linked is over a year old, right? You also do realize that in the pic from your link, Mr. Smith looks heavier than he does in more recent photos, right?
Bottom line: How do you know Mr. Smith hasn't taken steps to lose weight? It does take time, you know. Nice try, though.
Badsey - Your "fact" is provably wrong; I've seen plenty of people far bigger than Mr. Smith use economy class seats, and I presume from watching them enter the restroom that the toilets can in fact "handle their girth".

Badsey - Links, please.
adaydream - so you admit your very crass accusation of "obesity" on Mr. Smith's part is just your opinion - very good. Try adding that to your posts before lines like "extra fat" and "making an ass of himself".

Disappointing remarks from normally good posters like zurconium and adaydream. If you read the entire story, you learn that Southwest not only realized their inarguably crass and discriminatory mistake, but that Mr.Smith actually did fit into one seat, no seat belt extension, and with both armrest down, thus negating all of the horrid "anti-fat" comments made above. He was later allowed to fly on the same airline, thus Southwest passively admitted their screw-up. SuperLib makes the best point of all of you; grafton, by contrast, has simply humiliated himself/herself.
Next, Mr. Smith is overweight, but not the morbid obese thing he's unfairly being made to seem like, which begs the question: Who gets to decide how "overweight" and "obese" are defined? Some medical "professional" who stands to make thousands on "weight control advice"? "Extra-fat", adaydream, really? Who the hell are you to make that call? No one, of course.
Wow, Southwest really messed up this time! It'll be years before they re-earn any semblance of public trust. But they could start by making the seats bigger for everyone, with no increase in price. Until then, Southwest has certainly lost my business.

adaydream - Total agreement with your inarguably correct statement. I'd say more, but the mod would just delete it again while allowing the right-wingers' idiotic statements to stand. But then again, JT's about the only place the poor repubs can get any attention.

We Democrats are eagerly awaiting palin's words, too! Please, sarah, please say you'll lead the Tea Party! That way, you'll definitely divide the conservative vote and ensure President Obama's much-needed second term!
Go sarah!

Along with red-blooded, hard-working, fellow Americans who through no fault of their own can't afford health care. Nice attitude, "Sarge".

You mean the voters who overwhelmingly voted for Obama?
Ha ha ha! You can't prove me wrong!
No no no, Sargie; bush is gone, praise Jesus! We have a good President now; do try to keep up, will you?

Why should we? Our policies aren't misguided.
Links provided on previous threads, no dreaming necessary. At least you got the first two words of that second sentence right.
The "Massachusetts Message" is for both Americans and repubs, Sargie; the message to repubs is to stop whining about how they "can't do anything because the Democrats are in power, wah, wah, wah". They've been given back a modicum of power, but just a bit - can't trust the teenager with the keys to the Mercedes, ya know.
Oh, that's right, it wasn't Playgirl - it was Cosmo that Brown posed nude for. But then, what difference does it make? If the foo shits...
Oh Sarge, Sarge, Sarge, will you ever learn? You might as well; you certainly have nothing at all to teach anyone.

Nope, this article is just spin. Obama still, rightfully, believes the much needed and supported health care reform can pass. The proof -
Americans elected Obama in large part because of his agreement with Americans' desire to have health care reform. The task now is to stop the un-American repubs from hampering this great work any further.
Remember folks: You can do the republican thing, or you can do the right thing.

Let's see... Democrats are still in control of the White House, still in control of Congress, still supporting the military, still overwhelming supported BY the US military, laughing our asses off at how the "Tea Party" is sucking away Republican votes, credited for vastly improved relations with the rest of the world, reducing unemployment, championing much needed health care reform (which is still supported by the vast majority of Americans), and yawning at Playgirl Brown's election...
...Sorry - who did you say you were, again? xD

Well, considering how many righty-tighties here swore President Obama would cut military spending and how I'd be on welfare by now, I'd say things are looking good. Did I tell you I'm up for promotion, by the way?

No, we're bouncing back; Obama WON the election, so now we're in good hands and the republican ruination is now being repaired. You can relax, sweetheart; the Americans won the 2008 election, remember?

You really think that Obama's comments, in and of themselves, have caused the decline of revenue in Vegas? Get serious, boy! Never have I seen a more whiny, limp-wristed psuedo-stab at our good President. Vegas is sinking because of bush's ruination of the American economy, as you well know and can't argue down. Grow a pair and suck it up, "sailor".

Wow, you've been wrong frequently in the past, but you've never been this wrong! President Obama received thunderous applause at this statement as well as a standing ovation. Are you being sarcastic or are you just deaf?

It is not your place to grant or deny me "chances". I provided plenty of excellent examples that you foolishly try to deny exist (i.e. you're a liar). Check out the thread again; better yet, get a neutral third party to do so, if you have the balls.

WhiteHawk - Why shouldn't adaydream play "my game"? I certainly defeated you with it, tough guy! LOL!
Now quit your whining and start doing your own research. You'll need it if you ever hope to make your thesis-long rants actually sound intelligent.
