So now, a fat person's sneeze or cough carries with it 50 pounds for you

Here's a promise: After the government has taxed smokers bloodless, fat people are next. If someone came out and said you could catch the "gay virus" there would be a white-hot outrage. How much will fat people get when it's been proven that there's an obesity gene?

Point out the word "sneeze" to me in that article, plz.

What part do you have trouble reading? Or did the reference to "gay virus" begin spinning your defensive side so fast your mind came uncorked?

1) Smokers are being taxed because of the health hazard in smoking.
2) When there's nothing left to tax because no one is smoking anymore due to the price of a pack of cigs, the government will need a new target. Fat people are an obvious candidate.

3) A sneeze can allegedly pass along an obesity virus.
4) Obesity has been proven to be genetic in some cases.
And then, to avoid the "G" word, especially for you:
5) Being gay is said to be genetic, but they'll get more defense from the left than a genetically-predisposed overweight person when it comes to civil rights.

The virus enters fat cells where it makes more copies of itself, basically making more, fatter cells which causes people to gain weight. Dr. Riva Rahl is the medical director for the Cooper Clinic's Wellness Program. She finds the study interesting, but she's hungry for more testing.

It doesn't say specifically but common human viruses are passed in large extent that way. I was listening to a TV anchor use the "sneeze" reference. With Fox News' Neil Cavuto regularly bringing on a woman to talk about such subjects as associating with overweight people will make you overweight (yes, that happened last week), they don't need this. "Avoid fat people. You can catch a virus and be fat yourself."

I understood what you were saying, but the connections you try to make are laughable. Yes, smokers are being taxed because of the proven health hazards of smoking. You then make a conjecture that the government will tax fat people, which has no proof or evidence anywhere in the story you posted. Nowhere in the story does it say a sneeze can pass along the virus. Obesity has indeed been proven to be genetic in some cases. And I've seen nowhere trying to connect rights between being gay and being overweight. It seems you're again frothing at the mouth about the subject when it has no relation to the topic you originally posted about.

So yes, your post made no sense.

Scribe, ratchet the extrapolation machine down a notch or ten, please.

You don't know how to operate it, and with the Warp speed extrapolation you're operating at, you could fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova. That'll end this thread real quick, won't it?

That'd be fine by me.

I'm projecting a little here. Cut me some slack. When the tax collected from smokers dwindles to the point where it's not a significant revenue, where do you think they'll go next? And when they do, I'll sit back and wait for the first gay-rights proponent to stand in line with a bunch of people at Weight Watchers and sing "We Shall Overcome."

So if this study pans out, does that mean I can't come visit?

I'd be amazed if you didn't dislocate your shoulder with that reach.

Well, I'll save the thread and when it happens, I'll bring it back with some salt packets.

 

[Diabeetus]

Please do.

Anyone else remember this hoax story from Equire a few years ago?

Apparently there's been a run on tinfoil in Scribe's neck of the woods.

I've got the medal to prove it.

Chewbacca, by the way, got so much ass that night. He's a wild man. He did cocaine out of the crack of that blue elephant's ass whilst getting Wookie head from Aunt Buru's sister.

He prides himself on his sexual ambiguity, though he later settled down and started a family ... and a hit variety show featuring Jefferson Starship, Bea Arthur and Harvey Korman!

Maybe it's the Hawaiian shirts. Everyone knows the only men who wear those are gay guys and big fat party animals.
