I thought the Americans would've got in on this, long before the Europeans.

...soon when our branch of 'wank unlimited' catch up with the play it'll be assisted passage for fat muslims with disabilities...(or maybe that is happening now?....)

Fucks me off. Not eating crap food or combining crap food with lots of exercise isn't exactly rocket science.
Need to lower the load ratings on elevators, decks and observation platforms to 'thin' the herd out perhaps.

It's also annoying that so many 'new' second hand bike pants and jackets are XXL, you fat bastids

How long before all Maccas car parks will be labelled for Disabled Parking Only.

Would have thoughf that any job requiring some sort of selfcontrol can therefore also reasonably expect that person to exercise same discipline/control looking after themselves........?

Not really a win, I don't think a heap of fat people will be suing anytime soon.
The article sounds like a classic problem where the employer hasn't painted a proper picture of what is expected from their workers as the minimum in terms of workload.
Perhaps theres more to the story than what was printed.

But if you have a fatty that is not performing all you'd have to do is reduce their hours to part time and say you are concerned for their welfare/health, don't want them having heart attack on the job. Send them to doctor and make them prove how sick/disabled they are or aren't and then restructure them into a more (or less!) suitable job. And include in the contract that employees are required to remain fit and healthy for their respective jobs.
Most of these employment law cases you read about seem to stem from a lack of communication and poor direction from employers about what is required.

It's a shame that anything consumed in moderation that,in itself, isn't bad for you (ciggies excluded) is ripe for over indulgence by some then everyone ends up paying the price. Having said that a person who is a "fatty" isn't necessarily a huge consumer of food or sugar or booze or whatever. Ends up being tricky though making the call as to what's a personal overindulgence (the person who pigs out on junk food and sugar loaded drinks) and what is now being classed as "addiction", "hormone imbalance", or any other fancy pseudo medical name.

Oh, btw, it's "Who's Next" as in who is next. Sorry, my addiction to correcting poor grammar is surely based on some medical issue I have...

Fair call that man.

**bluninja** · 21st December 2014, 16:24

The judgment is pretty fair...but as someone who's considering a roll as a round Danish child minder I would say that.

If the PC brigade get their way we won't be putting out mince pies for Santa any more

If this carry on becomes part of NZ culture, (the fat is a disability factor, not the fatties), will this mean the FBMC rides can be classed as 'Charity' rides?? , sponsored by HD of course.
