In reply to the discussion: lady in the mall yesterday. [View all]safeinOhio
(38,329 posts)13. More to the point,
many of those that support SYG laws would like to use them at the White House.
I would have not ever thought of that until I heard it. Then too, many tea baggers are overweight middle aged people on SS or disability that hate government programs. Myself, I'm 10 pounds over what I should be, middle aged and I think I have control over my weight because at one time I was way over that. I would think she has more control over her weight than a President has control over his skin tone.
How do you feel about current SYG laws and do you agree with her?

Non sequitur. My line of inquiry concerns obesity as an alleged indicator of character fault.

I did not say 'the individual in question has complete control over her weight."

So overweight people are safe. Who will you insult next? Blacks? The Handicapped?....

Which is it. Do you hate SYG laws or do think they need some rewording like the OP said.

are you suggesting no changes are needed to the way the law is stated in Florida?

"Actually, no it does not. Nor is it the goal of SYG." - guess that is now resolved
