so, 0?

95% of ATOT'ers are in the top 10% of the US income wise.

i think we might even have a few Millionaires on here who are Guidos even.

How can 95% of them be in the top 10% when over half of them still live at home or are in college?

It's actually not that simple with a place of public accommodation.

But fat people aren't a protected class unless a disability made them fat.

Edit: Just realized this is in the UK, so I have no idea what their laws are over there.

Um, I can't "get it" I would probably be considered fat by the club owner and sent on my way.

And even if I'm not fat enough to get sent away, I'm sure I'm ugly enough to get the boot :)

Left alone with big fat fanny
She was such a naughty nanny
Heap big woman you made a bad boy out of me

Across the wire across the land

Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin world go round
Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin world go round

I'm saying it "should be that way"


As for this whole "What about racism" thing. Well, that is something of an outdated argument, because the whole point of a freemarket country is to get as many customers or patrons, so it would be to that establishment's own detriment to exclude a certain segment of the population.

However, this is something more of a social private place, in which case it's an exclusive area in the first place, so who knows?

Either way, it's owned by a private party, the party should have the freedom to do what it wants as long as it is not infringing on any basic rights, such as the right to not be cut down with a battleaxe. :confused:

:roll: Nice trollbait but if someone owns an establishment and doesn't want any Chinese people, they have the right to deny all Chinese people from entering. Who cares anyway? If you don't like it, don't go there. They own it so either go by their rules or leave.

No, he is right. Again, it is easy to say this if you are not the one being discriminated against and/or you are looking at it as a scenario where only one establishment out of several hundred or even several thousand in your area choose to do such a thing, but this is like Pandora's box. It is ridiculously hard to close once it is opened and gets out of control. People get used to such behavior being ok and it takes generations to change that regardless of laws. History has already shown us that this is not a good idea. Do not repeat past mistakes needlessly. That is very foolish.

Generally, no they can't if it's a place of public accommodation. Private clubs can discriminate, but i don't think charging a $.01 lifetime membership fee would work. Justice is blind, but it isn't stupid.

Is there gonna be enough space? :p

LOL, this entire situation reminds me of a club i've heard about in DC where the only entrance in is a very slim door, if you can't fit through it you can't get in!

what club is that? i've been to plenty of clubs in DC.

I gotta agree with this. Myself and a bunch of people that was late to a club once waited in line for over an hour. We were at the front of the line with a ton of people behind us. After losing my patience, I asked the bouncer what the deal was, and he was like "we've reached max capacity, and have to wait for people to leave to let more in". I'm like, man, you couldn't tell me that an hour ago when I first reached the front of the line?

At least it was a club at the Casino though. We left the joint, went to gamble, and won a few hundred on the slots. So we decided to head up to Toronto for a late late night jam at Guvernments, and had a hell of a time.

At least the fat girls didn't have to wait in line.

FEMALE clubbers were refused entry into Havana nightclub on Saturday night for being too fat.

Police were called to calm the situation outside the Halkett Street club as bouncers and manager Martin Sayers allegedly told women to ?go away and lose some weight?.

Over 20 women are expected to give statements to the police today and a Facebook page, labelled Havana Club Jersey Discrimination and using an image from US cartoon Family Guy, has already attracted over 100 supporters calling for Islanders to boycott the club.

Georgina Mason was one of the ladies refused entry. The 23-year-old, who works for Lloyds TSB, had been enjoying a night out with friends when it turned sour.

?About five or six or us got to Havana at about 11.30 pm and the bouncers said we were not allowed in because we were too big. I told them not to be ridiculous and asked to speak to the manager,? she said.

?When the manager came out he would not look at me directly but said that they had received too many complaints about fat people and he told me: ?Go and lose some weight before you can come in ? fat people are bad for business.?


Wow, i knew they thought it, but I didn't think they'd have the balls to say it.

I think the business they lose from obese clients will be over weighed by the increase in business they get from everybody else.
