If they advertise "all you can eat" they they should give him all he can eat.

While I sympathize with him, What I can not accept is the guys that are so fat that they can't fit in a single airline seat, and thing they should get two seats for the price of one.  the airlines should be able to charge for the number of normal sized seats you take up.

There have been several lawsuits that have been filed trying to force them to "provide" for them under the "Americans with disabilities" act.  I don't know if any of them have been decided, but some airlines, such as Frontier, have just decided to give in, rather than go through the problems associated with defending themselves.

THAT SURE IS THE POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK

The Americans with Disabilities Act was an extremely misguided, foolish, and counter-productive piece of legislation.

It's causing a lot of problems down here in regards to hotel swimming pools. Many of the small mom & pop hotels that have been around for years are having to close off their swimming pools because of the expense of having to install lifts that can lower handicapped persons into the water. They cost in excess of $15,000 and at least 2 small hotels that I know of are just going to fill in the pools and plant grass over them. Some of the hotels that went ahead and put in the lifts claim that they are only rarely used and at least one said that they have never been used since they were installed.

Sounds like the heart of the problem.  If you would bore your grandchildren with the truth once in a while, maybe you would make the world a better place.

Where's Harrylives when you need him?

Geography/climate/politics..... I was looking at a map the other day and noticed that Anchorage is about 61 degrees north, and, of course has a considerable population.  Several other cities are located well north of Anchorage, including Fairbanks at 64 degrees north, Nordvik, Norway at 66 degrees north, and Dikson, Russia at 73 degrees north.

But at the southern end of the globe, neither Elephant Island, at 61 degrees south, nor any part of Antartica, which extends north to at least 62 degrees south, has any permanent human settlements.

Why is the planet so much more inhabitable toward the north pole than the same distance toward the south pole?

Doesn't everything?
