I hate anti Tobacco people...

us stoners are not all fatasses... :toetap05:

just look at circa. he's like 5'11 and weighs 125 pounds or something

 

hey as long as they don't eat shit from Kelloggs .....

 

really though... fat tax? i hope you guys dont really believe that's a good thing

 

i've been mentioning/thinking about a fat tax for a LONG time. america's obesity problem would be solved in a few years, no doubt.

i know if i ran the government there would be one, but hey i don't run the government so...

 

BMI... 21.9... 6'3" .. 175... but.. I'm a old hippie..... no car ... only ride a bicycle

I sink

 

I see so many fat woman.. wearing shorts.. makes me want to poke my eyes out.

and jeez.. you can't say anything.. they all have the same answer.. oh I get plenty of exercise... I don't think they understand what target exercise is.

as far as the stoners lounge.... long time research amongst them has shone me that most stoner's get out and do things... surf, ride bikes, play frisbee... yeah there may be some gel time.. but a pretty active lot all and all

 

so you would agree with infringing on people's right to eat/do what they want? how does other people being fat affect you?:cheers2:

 

hahaha that's like in that fairly odd parents episode where it's about the salem witch trails...

mr crocker says that the only way to test if someone is a witch by tying them to a cinder block and throwing them into the lake... if they live then they're a witch if they die then they're normal LOL

 

how does other people being fat affect you

it raises everyones medical insurance rates.. and if you every fly .. they spill over into your seat.

I know a number of people have genetic ties.. but there has been a large...lol increase over the past 20-30 years... and certain parts of the country it's more prevalent

 

it's infringing on my right to not be disgusted everytime i step outside my house.

fat people, women especially, are usually so much more bitchy too. my mom is pretty damn fat and i've found that when she weighs the most, she bitches the most. i've also done secret studies with fat people that i know, and i really have noticed that as they get fatter they get mean-er

fatness and bitchiness are pretty much directly proportional lulz

 

yeah... well they really used to do that.... England I think was the main one

 

that's so terrible.. i hate learning about those witch hunts in school it makes me so sad

 

that's like saying there should be a weed smoking tax because people with lung cancer raise medical rates as well? or a football tax because of broken bones causing medical insurance rates to go up?

 

well... weed is illegal so they can't tax it...

and also i think nothing has been proven that weed causes lung cancer.

 

weed doesn't cause cancer.. it may be higher in tar.. but it also tickles the lil' hairs in your lungs and clears out ..much better than tobacco... also very low in nicotine.

Weed is good for you !!!!! Spiritually and physically .. and there is a federal weed tax btw

considering the ratio of football players to overweight people.. i don't think that hold weight..

 

That shit really earks me. The guy that I live with, he's by ex... we still live together and have a child together, but are technically split up at the time.... he used to smoke cigars... he recently quit smoking, now everytime I come around him he says my smoking makes me smell like ass... he'll for a kiss and tell me I stink, and say nevermind. He only does it when he's trying to be an ass... but I've smoked the whole time I've known him, it pisses me off that he rags on me because he quit... I'm happy for him that he quit, and is doing so well, I think it's been a month for him.

I don't want to smoke, and I dont' care for people raggin on me because I CHOOSE to smoke...

There's always someone out there who is going to talk shit about something.

 

weed tax... state.. although I think there is a Fed. one on the books

http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=6668

texas..State Code Tax Code Ch. 159

Tax Rate $3.50/gram if owner possesses 4 ounces or more

 

he recently quit smoking, now everytime I come around him he says my smoking makes me smell like ass

well.. someone who quits smoking is usually worse about it than someone who never smoked... it like you have to hate everything about it to quit.. it's that reformed sinner thing

 

...naw, he's just a cranky little man.

 

tell that to the government.

you are right it doesn't really hold any weight but the point is the same: putting restrictions on people's freedoms doesn't solve any problems. especially not a 'fat tax'.

limiting freedoms (without regard to what is reasonable...which a fat tax certainly isn't) creates 'crime' and makes people distrust and resentful of their governments.:cheers2:

not that most of us aren't already
