The fact the government even think they have the right to control you and implement this shit on you is just wrong.
I mean, anyone should have the right to be fat or not... without being taxed! It's fucking silly.

I guess in the same respect we should demand the right to be high or not.
(course people don't want to be fat, but they don't like forced to condition themselves on someone else's term either)Would be like them saying I could no longer drink mountain dew, eat spam and salt-vinegar chips any longer.
I think the more people that remain on caffeine right now, the less people we'll have snapping and committing murders. Kinda like if we banned smokes.
Far as the fluoride bit... its already found in many forms of tooth paste, so those already taking care of their teeth shouldn't need additional fluoride in their drinking water (besides we don't normally swallow the whole thing of toothpaste). And those who don't want to brush... well that's their choice.
I like where this idea is in principle, but you always gotta be careful about unintended consequences.
Poor people in the US are fat because cheap food is shit. How many $100k+ earners you know eat at a McD everyday? This will end up being an indirect tax on a lot of people who can't afford it already.

A lot of ignorance in this thread. Big surprise.
The government has no right to tax people as it is, let alone tax people for how they eat.
People who think this is a good idea, better go put their fucking fascist brown shirt on, and goose step to their nearest recruiting center to help prosecute the war against Eurasia.
The government doesn't own you, or your body. What you smoke or eat, how you look or feel, is none of their goddamn business. For fucks sake, these idiots have destroyed the global economy, and loot everyone like Capone, and people want to give them more money. IDIOTS.
You know, people who think this is a good idea, they don't make shit. I'll say that now, if you think taxes are good and advantageous, you're most likely a fucking looter, not a producer.
Didn't anyone here read Animal Farm?

I read Animal Farm. But it was in 8th grade and for some reason I keep thinking of Lord of the flies when I try to conjure an image of what it was about. Something about freaky animals that overtook the humans and ...socialism. but I believe it was written during the McCarthy days so take it with a grain of salt...
(ah-sigh-ee) A Possiable Solution ??
I mean come on, it's changed so many lives already!! I think it's about time to integrate this wonder berry into every facet of our lives.
You know if Opera & Rachel Ray endorse it must be a winner $
Organic Açaí Juices Organic Açaí Sorbets
Organic Açaí Smoothies
Every one just needs to relax & get the fatties of New York a smoothie!
Problem Solved!!

Bullshit. They're fat for the same reason they are poor, because they are fucking lazy. Veg and meat doesn't cost a lot of money, but it takes a small amount of time and intelligence to prepare right.
Erm... so people being laid off were just too lazy to keep their jobs? Talk about ignorance.
Damn, i was hoping you were gonna say that Fat people have to pay more taxes because they are fat. That would have been sweet...
This made me facepalm. What you just said has nothing to do with what you quoted.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not liberal at all not even close (don't let the hair and guitar fool you, it's a wig). But i would never think there should be NO taxes.
If there are no taxes, there is no government. That's anarchy.
Now, i think our government now is full of shit in every way shape and form./ But the solution isn't NO government. It's less government with less power.
I totally had you figured as some John Denver wanabee mofo. Thanks for clarifying that.
:music06:
Oh there can be government in anarchy, it's called self-government.
Voluntaryism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Go into the 'hood' or a poor latino community and come back and tell me how gyms & healthy food options you see.
Now go to Orange County and let me know when you find 4 McDonalds in a 2 block radius serving $1 fries and sugared water drinks.
Rich and poor people are surrounded by very different choices everyday. And when you're scraping by on not a lot, getting good vegetables and quality meat isn't at the top of the priority list.

He said people are fat "for the same reason they are poor"... then proceeded to say cuz they're lazy. Basically saying poor people are poor because they're lazy. Maybe you need to work on your reading comprehension.

haha, yeah. Maybe it's time for new avatar. People think i'm like Wayne('s World) or some dirty hippy (not to be confused with the Lazy Hippie here)
Although Phish is my favorite band and i am quite fond of the Grateful Dead as well....

He is - THE CACTUS!
Firstly, we're not at war with Eurasia. We were never at war with Eurasia. We've always been allies with Eurasia *hides the banners*
We're actually at war with EastAsia... and this parade against Eurasia was obviously a trick setup by East Asian saboteurs.
Secondly, if you had no government, you'd have no roads, no affordable hospitals, no decent armed services.
For a nation state to exist in a large land mass, there must be some form of government. Voluntaryism only works on small scales. 70s communes proved that when nearly every single one that got to more than several dozen people sort of imploded due to lack of essential services and law enforcement.
There are a number of good documentaries on the whole thing.
Whilst I doubt the world or single nations would descend into total chaos without federal governance, crime would certainly sky rocket, and ALL ESSENTIAL services would degrade to the point of uselessness and inaffordability.
Some governance and some taxation is required. The precise level is debatable.
IMO behavior modification taxes in every way are the most evil form of socialism. The ends never justify the means because people have a right to their bodies and property.
What society should be doing instead is quit supporting people who choose to trash their bodies. overly obese bed ridden people don't have a right to take money from healthy working people.
