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.

If a lot of businesses start banning a certain demographic then other businesses will open catering specifically to that demographic to take advantage of the "new" wide open market. Why force everyone to play by your rules when the system is such that these people won't be long without service anyway?

Outcasts have always found a way to make their own club. They got ostracized from the sports clubs, so they made the gleek and chess clubs :-D

The difference is that nobody choose their race. You are responsible for you own weight, nobody to blame but yourself.

This did not happen in NEW JERSEY. It did not happen in AMERICA.

Jersey is an island near England. That is where this club is located. So all the comments about "greatest act in America" and stuff about the "constitution" are all out the window.

This happened in America and it would be on the 6 o clock news like someone went on a kiling rampage.

Keep the fatties home!

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.

What if it's neither blind nor smart?

My name is John, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are fat, retarded, no-lifes who spend every second of their day looking at stupid ass pictures. You are everything bad in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten any pussy? I mean, I guess it's fun making fun of people because of your own insecurities, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than jerking off to pictures on facebook.

Don't be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I'm pretty much perfect. I was captain of the football team, and starter on my basketball team. What sports do you play, other than "jack off to naked drawn japanese people"? I also get straight A's, and have a banging hot girlfriend (She just blew me; Shit was SO cash). You are all faggots who should just kill yourselves. Thanks for listening.

Pic Related: It's me and my bitch

Only thing this reminded me of. =(

I don't understand why they're that pissed. Clubs and bars make decisions like this one all the time, just usually they don't tell the offending party why they aren't being let in.

I think it'd be funny if they boycotted... the irony of a bunch of fatties refusing to go to a club that doesn't let them in. I bet the club is actively trying to get them to boycot.

Though I'm now 20-30 lbs. overweight, I admit pointing and laughing at ads for "Size 38 wedding gown, never worn!"

I wonder what happened to the weddings?

Because history suggests that doing so is not for the best in our society. For me, is is that simple. Plus, there are things in life which are more important than money and this is one of them. This country is not at its absolute best if business takes priority in every scenario. On average, people are not as happy that way.

They should have a new rule: fat chicks must wear party hats or they can be a "bouncer" outside.

are people really still debating this....??? What are you guys not understanding about private club? Same as fraternities not being open to women and girl scouts not allowing boys.

Groucho Marx famously quipped: "I would not join any club that would have someone like me for a member."

Fatties especially should take that to clogged heart. 'Cause by entering a normal club they bring it down. Regular folks cannot be expected to tolerate 'em and verily they would be inclined to go elsewhere. In which case the fatties are left to themselves so they may as well have gone to a fatty club in place the first.

If you're going to an upscale club in NYC, remember to take at least two beautiful girls with you. Not only do you get in free you might also get a free bottle of champagne and endless pats on the backs. Even better, it makes the other girls want you that much more.

My friend used to goto the strip clubs in CT right before closing. Tell the girls he's going to nyc to party if they want a ride. He used to roll up with 2 or 3 and he never paid admission.

Thats why I was ticked off when California made laws saying you couldnt smoke in bars.
I'm not a smoker and I dont particularily care for the habit, but I think a private business owenr should be allowed to run it his way, not the governments way.

Smoking is a health issue to others in a nightclub.

A single fatty takes up the space of several skinny hot chicks.

And America breeds fat people. Our society shouldn't force feed fatty foods to people and then push them away.

Most ignorant and knee jerky post in this thread.

I dunno, it got a cackle out of me. Maybe you're the knee-jerker?
