How can they fit into an airplane restroom though?

If some people require two seats - should they get the second seat free? One alternative would be to provide some spacious seats - but then the skinny people would want them also and be upset if they were denied spacious seats just for being on the thin side.
Stalin had the same point of view as you. If people don't live up to your standards then off to the gulags, huh.
Protected class is to protect people from being treated in a hostile manner and it is to protect them from receiving inadequate services and treatment in all areas of business. They are also to receive equal opportunity based on what they can offer to the corporation. In reality we should all be in a protected class i.e., nerds, little people, religious minorities, political minorities, etc.

We have so many "protected groups" (read: "extra-privileged, politically preferred groups") that soon the only ones who don't get special privileges will be the working wage-earners.

How useful are cripples in wheelchairs to society. What do you say? Get rid of all those pesky wheelchair ramps and other commodities for those who don't have a large about of usefulness to society?
And what about all those injured veterans who served several tours in our current war?
As for everyone else it's just a matter of aptitude and technical training. I don't know of a single person who says "Hey, I want to do nothing, be bored, live in a leaking-roof trailer home, have no health care, and wear one pair of clothing for the rest of my life." Do you know of people who have that mentality? I don't.

Really that would be the smart thing for a business to do - smart businesses notice trends and the trend in this country is toward obesity. A smart business would be trying to entice the chubby people in.
Like what? Drying their nails right away so they can waste no time in jamming more fries into their gapeing maws?
How about Hoyer lifts for these porkers?
