You make it sound like everyone starts off being as fat as Vulcan.

Not everyone; just some people.

Anyways, someone you don't know being overweight is not really any of yours or my business.

Yes, but it is society's business. I mean, wouldn't it be embaressing if you sit down somewhere and inadvertantly suck ten people into your fat rolls? Embaressing? But more than anything, you'll need a crane and the jaws of life to get them out, which costs MONEY. When fat people envelope others into their fat rolls, OUR taxes go UP.

That's ridiculous. I've never seen that happen before.

You don't even live in the United States, we actually 1. have fat people and 2. save people's lives here using technology. It must be pretty hard to save people from fat rolls with a log and a bottle of maple syrup, I'd assume.

For one, I have never seen that happen before. For two, it's impossible for it to happen.

How is it impossible? You tried?

It's the physics of it. In order for people to be "sucked" into another, the weight of the large person must be so great, that the graviational pull must be greater than the Earth's. So, the person must be larger than the Earth itself.

I would like to remind all members of the rules about flaming. I realise you are attempting to have a discussion about obesity, but remember to keep yourself considerate.

Well, in keeping with the discussion: why does it bother you so much if one person, with no effect on your life whatsoever, is heavier than yourself? I would also like to question why you feel the need to assume someone will be sucked into his gut. I don't even think Vulcan is terrribly obese. Very few of us are in perfect shape. Does his weight make him any less of a person? No. Try not to be so inconsiderate.

Not into Vulcan's gut, but if he, or any of us, were to continue to become more obese, I'm sure somebody might be enveloped in our flab and probably suffocate. I'm just saying Vulcan has a head start and thus needs to be more careful.
