I wonder if the professional bodybuilder who weighs the same amount as your 'fatso' was stood behind you, would you be so inclined to chirp about how he/she shouldn't eat so much protein or lift so much weight because as you say you go to the gym so you must be an expert on these things??

I suppose when these 'Keyboard Superheros' actually develop beyond the level of chimpanzees we might see some intelligent dialogue in these forums, but i'm not holding my breath on that happening anytime soon!

Off to have some ice cream and chips for breakfast as its my choice according to the latest genius to post his justification for stupidity.
When someone can't fit in their seat because of fat or other issues then they need to buy a bigger seat. I do (I am tall and probably 10-20lbs too heavy). At the rate the North American population is "growing" they'll have to install all j seating soon. With fares accordingly. Do I claim disability or medical reason because my legs don't fit in a 29" pitch? Do input my arms on the neighbors tray because my shoulders are too broad? No. And neither should you Mr Muscle, Mr Icecream Man or Mrs obese because hormone imbalance! Or what ever. You have the freedom to be big but you don't have the choice to be growing tall. So can we tall people have a bit of sympathy?

One thing is for sure. I paid for my seat so get out of my space!

Well...ever since being tokd i should take the next flight if i had a problem with the ovese guy next to me literally taking over half my spacer and pushing me to ait in the aisle, i made certain other choices. So not having flown much in Y and deliberately avoiding the fat trains North American flights have become on a lot of routings, I have avoided the problem altogether.

Yea. I rather hug an elephant. ...
