Make of that what you will.
Individual stories prove nothing
Obers. You're right, it's why I posted the fact that 'overweight' people live longer.
Incidentally teetotallers die younger.

There you go. A lot of 'facts' are actually not facts. It doesn't apply to obese people though.
I genuinely cannot access a single one of those links
Not sure why not, but at least you can type in what I did. Do overweight people live longer than normal weight. The Independent one is top of the list.
Tbf, I'm useless copy and pasting on the phone.
A 18 wheel Articulated lorry shouldn't pay the same price as a ford focus to fill it's tank just because it uses the same fuel.
Silly discussion, if it costs more to manufacture it costs more to purchase.
It may cost threepence more for the material. Silly comment about trucks and cars.
What if you're 6ft 10 and athletic?
Should you pay the fat tax for your larger clothes?
Will Jacamo go for the same.

Some people are just naturally broader and taller (and still in great shape) than some of the obvious pencil-necks out there.
I like to look at it as natural selection.
Make the weak pay more for their fabric and they're more likely to freeze to death in winter.
Make it cheaper for fat facks to eat themselves to death.
Give a little leg up to those who got a headstart so they continue to improve the species.
Win-win for humanity.

It literally is survival of the shiittttest nowadays. People can't afford to live unless they produce a council kid so that they can get a free flat. It's the opposite of what it should be. I remember a small girl child kid on the bus talking to her mum and asked "So if I have a baby, I get a free flat?" and the mother replied "dinnae be stupat, you have tae go tae the joab centre an tell em ye'v had a bairn an they'll gee you a flat."
We voted to get rid of foreigners and look after our own. Now let's vote to get rid of our own. Either a one child policy or murder all babies who come out of the womb without at least £1000 to their name.

Birth rates have gone down as countries have gotten wealthier. They haven't got wealthier because they had lower birth rates.

IQ based neutering? Like the exams you have at age 11 or something in England but if you fail you get your knnob chopped off.

Disagree. Self-replicating morons will always be cheaper than robots.
We've nearly perfected the 24/7 dopamine release systems they need to keep going.
Next we hook all that VR up to actual farming and (luxury item) manufacturing processes.

Big companies rule the world and they need stupid people as they are their customers. What would McDonalds do if everyone was intelligent enough to not eat there? Advertising would be non-existent if people were smart enough to think for themselves. Stupid people = profit.
