How does one react to that? Though, NZ has a point and I could understand it if she were dependent on the national health care system. People who are chronically obese do have a higher occurance of health related issues. But he has health coverage, (and access to a gym they point out) and his wife wouldn't be on public health care... :hmm:

I wonder if laws saying "You're too stupid" would work... :hmm:

Following the same logic, anyone who smokes or drinks alcohol should not be admitted either.

Whilst nobody likes a fat **** (

By the sounds of things he's not going to be paid peanuts for the job, so why should his or his spouses plumpness be a drain on the state when it (seems to me) obvious that the guy will most likely pay for any medical bills privately.
I don't know about NZ, but if you've got the money go private. Public healthcare is not all it used to be certainly here in the UK as my other half will testify.

If it were me on principal I'd tell NZ immigratin to fk off and find another 'critically skilled worker' elsewhere, if they can.

On reflection it's increasingly obvious why every tom, dick and akhmed is comming to the UK when other countries have immigration rules like these...

oooh, that turned into a bit of a rant didn't it?

I guess the logic is that they might not be able to pay when they get health
problems in old age or when their helth means they can not work.

wow, that's quite scary in a way. "you're fat, go away!"

Chances are she could well lose the weight when she gets there, or, it may be she physically can't lose it. Either way this seems to stink a bit.

I met a women from NZ who was glad to get out as in her words things have gone down hill fast. And no she is only here in the UK before leaving for America.

Anyway when the oil runs out we will all have to work the land so there will be no more fat people.

Really depends what profession your in. Was she a nurse? Doctors/nurses get crap pay compared to aussie/UK a lot leave every month to aussie where pay is 3 times more than what they get here. On the other hand if your Computer technician or programmer average pay is $45 to $170 an hr. Its not good to be a builder over here cause of the leaky home problem, something like 3 billion in new homes are owe from certified "Master Builders" who build $300,000+ homes with untreated timber

. If your a real estate agent your can make a mint from over pricing the evaluation and if you rip your client off you cannot get done for it - cause it was just your bad luck you paid 200 grand for a house thats worth 100 grand, although after many years the govenment has finally brought out a law (just last month) where dodgy dealers will be prosecuted.

Thats just the tip of the iceberg. Only honest folks are the country lads down on the farm

Did anyone test her for genetic predisposition? If she was born with one or more facilitating characteristics, does that still excludes her? Will predisposition exclude other conditions aswell, bone problems, heart issues, etc., or just fatness? If so, then dismantle hospitals already because you will only need an ER and maybe a pharmacy.

Chock · 11-20-07, 01:35 PM

I have a simple solution for this problem...

At the airport, stipulate that everyone who comes into the country has to pass through a metal detector, then simply have a really narrow metal detector walkway. That way, you're not actually saying that you can't come in because of your size; hey presto! no blame and everyone in the PC world has nothing to complain about!

'You can't fit? Oh well, never mind, have a piece of our complementary cake, and then feck off back on the plane lardass! and make sure you sit in the middle, or the pilot will have control difficulties'

Tune in next week when I will be solving the problems of the quest for world peace

The all consuming lack of willpower's fruitless battle against the inexorable, omnipotent draw of cake and pies maybe?

Rating everything by BMI seems a bit ridiculous since it is muscle mass that weights a lot more than fat does.
