Obviously the hypocrisy escapes you.

How were going to apply the principle in a similar fashion to what ex wrote?

Ex thinks because he has to spend a dollar he has control of it, you gain more by giving people responsibility

Of that there is no doubt, I think we all agree. But looking at the obesity rate in the US we see that they make bad decisions.

So you have to provide them with better alternatives but you have to get rid of the sugar purveyors who are using it to hook consumers

But you got all butt-hurt. If that's not it then what was your idea to apply what he wrote?

Dude, your constant condescension toward your neighbor is annoying, but you really should realize we have access to what's going on in your own country.

It's time for government action on obesity

You've heard it already: Obesity is epidemic in Canada and is contributing to an increased prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer and other chronic conditions

Looks like Canadians make poor choices, too. But why not when you pay for their health care, right?

To "have a SAY in how they take care of the BODY that I'm paying for."

Duh.

Hello again, Steve:

I can't tell if you agree with me or not.. It IS a very conservative position, after all. It IS my money. I SHOULD have a say in how my "investment" is protected.

But, why then, shouldn't the PUBLIC have a say in how THEIR "investment" is protected? The same principal applies, does it not?

Do you believe we shouldn't interfere with a woman's "health care" choices?

I see that but how does that affect ex's statement?

Hell to the YES!! And that goes for bosses and churches. Its none of their business what my or anyone's health care needs are. No one has a right to discriminate for any reason, be it fat, gay, or they way YOU plan your family, and I don't care what the POPE says about it.

Even if you don't believe in gay marriage the solution is simple, don't marry a gay person. But don't tell me who to marry. You don't believe in family planning, then don't plan your family, but leave mine alone.

You righties love to stick your nose in everyone else's business, and holler you have a right to do it. YOU DON'T.

End of Friday rant... carry on.

OK, here's the quote again...

So I'm confused, do you guys believe you should have a say or not, or just for men and not women? Or what is it here?

That's the question I quoted and answered.

He has a right to say whatever he wants, just as you do Speech. We don't walk in lock step agreement on the progressive side, we just agree the far right has to be balanced and not interfere in OUR rights the way you are full hell bent to do.

The law is very clear, whether you agree or not, that there can be no discrimination. And there are legal remedies if there are.
