Bars are ...Bottom line is it is a liability issue. Bars are scared that if they allow a drunk have yet another drink chances are he may have a car accident and hurt somebody. In turn the family of the person hurt can and will sue the bar. That’s why they decline service to few and I mean very few patrons. Now the whole part of proving you had a ride is not their business nor will bars take it on. Again that’s too much liability.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, an obese person ordering a big Mac is certainly causing harm to himself but he does not pose a risk to others when he leaves the premises of the restaurant. Denying obese people greasy food would be a foolish thing for restaurants to do because I am willing to bet you that obese people dining dollars comprise a significant part of their revenues. Your whole idea of restaurants offering restrictive menus to obese people is a stupid one. Obese people are usually pretty sensitive. They do that and that person will never bring his business to that restaurant again.<BR/><BR/>Suicide is only illegal if you are unsuccessful @ it.<BR/><BR/>But your point about obesity being a problem is absolutely true. And I agree it increases healthcare costs for everybody.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13306522.post-1123818501429635592005-08-11T20:48:00.000-07:002005-08-11T20:48:00.000-07:00If you could prove that you had a ride home, why a...If you could prove that you had a ride home, why aren't you allowed to continue drinking at a bar? How come suicide is technically illegal? You're not doing anyone else any direct harm in that either.<BR/><BR/>But, what the obese are harming is my pocketbook with additional healthcare costs that I shoulder in part when I pay my taxes.Brute Forcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10214183612902971524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13306522.post-1123817763818813062005-08-11T20:36:00.000-07:002005-08-11T20:36:00.000-07:00The issue is that they aren't directly causing any...The issue is that they aren't directly causing anyone else harm.<BR/><BR/>And a lot of things where you force people to do exactly what you think they should do are effective, but this isn't Soviet Russia.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.com
