Discrimination Against Animals

I just went down to the cafe to get another snack and saw yet another appauling thing on the State Run Media Channel: apparently a man in Arlington Texas is suing his would be employer because he is so fat he can't fit through the front door of the building, so they told him they were giving the job to someone else. The interview was conducted in a different building, presumably with a wider door.

Im so sick of idiotic irresponsible people blaming someone else for things that are their own stupid fault, and then suing over it. If I don't want to hire a man because he is too fat to show up to work, or because he is such a slob that he grosses out the customers and they patronize my competitor, of course the fucker gets fired. If you are not qualified for the job, you don't get the job. "Qualified" includes managing to be physically present AT the location where the work needs to be done.

If this guy wins, it will set a terrible precedent for the policy of firing employees for showing up to work drunk or high. If this guy isn't responsible for his own unhealthy food addiction, chemical abusers can hardly be responsible for their own unhealthy substance addictions. Addiction has been proven to be caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. But caused BY using to much of the shit your addicted to. Sure its a chemical imbalance and can be best treated as a medical condition, but that doesn't absolve you of the responsibility of ending up that way. Its still your fault.

People can't sue others because of their own lack of will power to control themselves. Its kind of what allows you to be called a "person," rather than, "an animal;" the ability to control your behavior. Stop blaming everyone else America, look in the fucking mirror. ITS YOUR FAULT. Even if its not, TOO FUCKING BAD, LIFE ISNT FAIR. Just because your life sucks you can't go around expecting someone who's done nothing wrong to you to pay you for it.
