People who generalize millions of people based on a few people that fit the stereotype are worse.

This law sounds stupid as hell yeah sure they mean well. But a government telling me what my body size should be um...no.

About damn time.

Well, this should be interesting.

Let us see how this works out.

The only thing that bothers me about fat people is that they're allowed to take the same baggage allowance on a plane as I am.

That's not their fault, though.

Some of their attitudes bother me, but you can't tar them all with the same brush.

Well they need to be that size to do their job. So i don't think they would be effected as they aren't doing it because of their own laziness. Why would they ban apart of their own culture. It wouldn't make sense to do that.

Am I glad I live in Germany. Having to worry about if you are beneath the line set by the law, is just extra stress.

i like how so many people are prepared to jump on their fellow man over something like this.

already you are all referring to people as "them" and making subconcious groups, labelling with pattern behaviour and reinforcing stereotypes.

i know, lets make everyone who is fat wear little badges and arm bands so that they stand out even more, might motivate them to lose weight. then, when we have finished building the ghetto's we can move them all there together, so we dont have to look at them in the street anymore.
