Exactly! I also love the "I am entitled to the space I take up" -- true, but so am I! *I* paid for my seat, not you, so why should I surrender part of it for YOUR girth?

I understand the issues people of size face. For the most part, I'm sympathetic. But when it comes to fitting into a limited space, if they take up extra room, they should pay for it.

What next, people suing amusement parks because they can't fit into the roller coaster? Oh, wait....
