1. People who eat too many fatty foods get heart attacks and cost alot in medical bills.
2. The government's job is to protect people by whatever means necessary
therefore, 3. the government should ban all fatty foods.

We could call it "The Fatty War"

[Rhoades]

Statement number two is wrong.

[Otacon]

No. Let people eat whatever the f**k they want to. If they die, it helps thin the population. It's not the government's responsiblity to keep you alive.

Yeap.

the only justified reason for the existance of goverment is to prosecute thouse who violate the rights of others.

By removing the ability of people to choose what foods they wish to eat, you are supressing their liberty.

Egro a goverment that dose ban fatty foods negates its own justification for existance.

"The government's job is to protect people by whatever means necessary "

Where in the world did you get that belief?

It's plainly wrong.

The result of poor education?

Meta rights- the right to refuse other rights.

Thats not what Meta-rights is, meta-rights is the willful release of the individuals rights by the individual himself.

were you getting stoned with your friends when you thought this up? or is it supposed to be a satire?

Obviously. Its a satire against banning alchohol for people under 21, since that most affects me. But it also deals with all drug bans.

And no, I wasn't stoned, am not stoned, and have never been stoned.

They should be banned from restaurants as they advocate an un-healthy lifestyles like smokers do in bars (Or at least charge them a cover charge as a liberal suggested for smokers). Also their fat gives off "Second -Hand Fat" which endangers thin people to take up fatness....Next people that drink a beer!

Bad satire makes baby Jesus cry.

That's a stupid idea. Why? Because the government (or anyone else) shouldn't be deciding what we can and can't eat.

terrible satire.


it's also a terrible comparison.

if you eat a cheeseburger, your heart doesn't explode, your teeth don't rot, you don't get holes in your nose etc etc etc.

when you eat a cheeseburger, you don't veer off the road because you black out(unless you get the itis).

I believe the leading cause of death is still a bad diet or booze or drugs?

So you're saying "If I don't get to drink, then no body else gets to eat!" ?

This sounds really immature, and whiny...

The reason that the drinking age is 21 is because parts of the brain are still developing until that age, and alcohol can stunt that growth.

The problem with that is that the government is protecting people's brains by not letting them have alcohol, but they're perfectly ok with giving an "underdeveloped brain" a rifle?

Personally, I think it's a state's issue. On top of that, if someone can die for my country, they earned the right to have a beer.

Personal Note: I'm 18, and I don't drink.

When was the last time a Kennedy was president?

Selective Service is under the jurisdiction of the executive branch.

That may be true, but we should let people die of bad diet and/or booze and drugs. If they want to waste their lives away doing such things, then they have that right. It is not the government's job to keep you alive. You should be allowed to eat all the unhealthy food you want to. You have the right to kill yourself.
