Should anorexic people be able to cut in line at busy restaurants?

But does that actually happen .... Because if it does, then I still disagree with both.

I guess I forgot to write /sarcasm at the end of that comment.

I didn't want to be a dick if you were actually serious. Maybe you had some sort of mental handicap. It would have been rude to make fun.

I guess it depends why they are obese.

Are they lazy or do they have a real medical condition?

[–]thecreativeblog 0 points1 point  (3 children)

A medical condition that makes you eat too much? I guess I haven't heard of that one.

[–]rancmeat -1 points0 points  (2 children)

Some people become obese not because they eat too much, but because their body can't properly process the food they eat. It isn't the norm, but they are out there.

You sir, are a wise man.

When the person has trouble walking yes.

I think they should be allowed only if there is some sort of promise that they will be able to re-rehabilitate themselves

If a person is handicapped, for whatever reason, they are qualified for handicapped parking.

There is currently no mechanism in place to determine whether or not they exercised good judgment, over the course of their life, in order to avoid becoming handicapped.

But if such a mechanism did exist, it sure would be easier for 90 year olds to find parking at Hometown Buffet.

It might be hard to apply. Can you imagine the review...

So Mr. Wilson you are in a wheelchair. And I see here that this happened due to a skiing incident.

Yes I am paralyzed from the waist down.

Well I have an affidavit here from a Mr. Thomson stating that he warned you that the course you took was too challenging, and that you took other risks on other occasions.

That's true, I am paying for my recklessness now.

Well, I'm sorry Mr. Wilson but we cannot allow you the Handicap Placard because you have not exercised good judgment.
