Its a measure to fight obesity and other health related issues cause we're fatties.

Your thoughts GTU?

dude, the daily show covered this like, months ago.


heres an idea though. tax intensives for the fit.

[Orchestrazia Ardwick]

As I have no idea how much 16oz is in fluid terms (to be honest, I don't really know what it is for weight either. I be a scientist), I have no strong opinions one way or the other. Knowing America, it's probably a large bucket.

a pint.

im sure you know what a pint is

also 16 oz by weight is one pound

[Orchestrazia Ardwick]

Ah, a pint. That's really not all that much. And as for pounds, I don't know how much that is in real terms either. People always say it's a bag of sugar, but I can't say I've held one of those for years anyway.

[wooooogiecrisp]

if you really want to know you would google it. but off the top of my head i think there are 2.7 pounds to a kg



now i had to google it to see how close i was. no, its 2.2

[Orchestrazia Ardwick]

So a pound is about one litre of water divided by 2.2... See, isn't that much easier for everyone?

[wooooogiecrisp]

in what state of matter is the water?

jk



liquid



but is it heavy water?

[Precious Roy]

Damn Urey. Also, the state of the water is of consequence. Ice weighs infinitesimally more than liquid water.

I stopped watching the daily show years ago..so I didn't know.
Tax incentives for the fit probably wouldn't fly because it penalizes the unfit (read poor)

no no, tax intensives. meaning that if you are fat you still pay the same amount of taxes.

(liquid water is the standard of measure though)

[Precious Roy]

same problem though...it'll still be looked at as a tax on the poor, no?

[crab man]

I think its a good idea for children.. but if adults still want megaloads of soda they'll just go to the supermarket and buy a 3 liter bottle.

its not an increase of taxes so only stupid people and fox news will view it as such.

[Derf!]

I voted yes just because no one has yet. Jump back, muthafuckahs be goin' against the grain.

[wafffle]

You're a rebel, Derf.

[Derf!]

I'm a derf, rebel.

[wafffle]

I'm fat so I had to vote no.

I think the Major is slippin though. He lives in New York where this is happening and he didn't hear about it until today? How is that possible?

[Derf!]

All the facts are right there in his persona. Maj, is in fact, Spider-Man.

[w00dy]

if you make being fat illeagle then everyone will have to be thin - man thats well bad

[Blugh Grant]

who's going to enforce it? those fat, doughnut-eating cops?
