Stupid restaurants and their stupid opinions on how to best run their businesses! They should outlaw smoking in them as well!

because liberals try to tell us what to eat, what cars to drive, what schools we have to send our kids. the difference from fascism is that a fascist governments uses the military to back them.

you know, that's a pretty big difference.

Also, a friend of mine put it best, when looking at any form of government it is important to realize that the political spectrum is not linear. You can't just throw fascism in the far left, because that is a pretty terrible description.

Also, considering that facism is pretty much anti-socialist at its core, you can't call liberals fascist and call them socialists. It is one or the other.

They should let insurance companies charge fat people more for insurance. That's what the free market would dictate. Then there would be an incentive to lose weight/not eat fast food.

Not sure how many people who complain about govt regulation would be in favor of that.....

how do they decide who is fat? would people who were only slightly overweight be charged as much as those who were extremely overweight?
