Charging by Weight

Is that really a way to charge for air transportation?

I agree with Lone Wolf. The government should make fat people pay more for gasoline. Since they weigh more, it takes more fuel to move that person from point A to point B than a person in good shape like myself. If you make fat people in America pay say $6 a gallon, that would inspire them to walk or bike instead of drive, and then maybe they can lose some weight. At least then I can respect that person.

I assume that the author of that comment would also agree that children should be charged less than adults, and that jockeys should be charged less than basketball players.

This probably would be a boon to commercial scale manufacturers.

Some are so quick to assess other people penalties while beatifying themselves.

If that's true, they're already paying more. Duh.

Whatever shape this idiot's in, it isn't good for those esoteric tasks like thinking. Maybe a job analogous to that of a Clydesdale would be more suitable. All that "good shape" must be good for something.
