Fire
Smokers, Hire Fat Homosexualsby Pete Fisher
2/10/05
We have recently seen some companies such as the one in Lansing,
Michigan fire employees for smoking cigarettes. The reason they used
was the higher insurance rates imposed for those who engaged in a high
risk lifestyle.
We have seen a trend on smoking bans nationwide and worldwide over
the past 3 decades from businesses to bars, airports and public
outdoor areas. And I really do not mind most of them, smoker or not,
people who do not smoke should not be forced to inhale fumes in a
place of business unless they choose to, such as a waitress or
bartender.
The cost of high insurance runs around $950 dollars US above what
non-smokers pay. Recent statistics show about a 21% population of
smokers in the US which is down about 16% from the 1970’s. So one can
calculate the cost based on 21%.
However, smoking is not the only high risk lifestyle chosen in this
country, nor is it the most expensive. We have Obesity which has
recently been blamed for the highest number of health issues in the
country. Though some obesity is genetic, the largest part is chosen by
eating and exercise habits.
We have the Homosexual lifestyle which is very high risk, with AIDS
and other diseases, as well as the failing of other body parts and
functions. We have a higher risk in Hetero people who are engaging in
high risk lifestyles that are insurance risks as well.
We have those who engage in taking risks every day with high speed
motorcycles and cars. We have those who drink heavily and pose huge
health risks to themselves and others. So why then is smoking
cigarettes the target of hiring and firing practices, and not the rest
of these chosen behaviors?
The most likely culprit is that smoking bans have been a liberal
agenda for many years as a huge taboo, and homosexuals and obese
people are a protected species. Airports can not double charge those
who take up 2 or more seats without fear of lawsuits. One can not even
disallow a homosexual employment or worship rights without fear of
lawsuits.
And yet those two lifestyles pose as much if not more a high health
risk factor than smoking does. The cost of AIDS per person each year
is phenomenal. The cost of stomach surgery and maintenance, or the
damage done by obesity is a huge cost to the insurance companies. Yet
smokers are singled out here, whether or not they smoke on premises or
not.
Those who ruin their liver day after day during Happy Hour are
immune. 18 year old kids on a 200 MPH motorcycle are immune.
Homosexuals are immune. Sounds like discrimination to me folks. Where
is the ACLU on this one? Smokers have rights too!
Oh, wait, I think those were abolished under the DNC bylaws right
next to Christian’s rights. So what will be next here folks? If we
allow these businesses to continue this practice, after it is over
with they will have yet another agenda in the Liberal faction in their
quest to create the New Super Citizen. These laws are nothing more
than a Liberal laboratory to create a populous in their own image.
If we do not argue this point we will see our grandchildren grow up
as non-smoking obese homosexuals with an atheist mindset who like fast
cars and poorly functioning livers. After all, if we can discriminate
due simply to what constitutes a health risk or not, we will all fall
short in some area of our lives eventually and be considered too high
risk to get a job.
So why not begin non-hiring of all other high risk lifestyles? We
can soon have the super race Hitler dreamed of where we all will look
the same, think and speak the same, and be able to stop speeding
locomotives, all thanks to the Liberal agenda and the ACLU.
And if we target obese drunks with a penchant for youthful figures
who speed in cars and cause injury and death….woe to you Ted Kennedy,
for you have been weighed and found wanting, and according to the
employment laws are unworthy to work. Even if standing behind a pulpit
screaming like Stalin is somehow considered work at all.
Let’s get real here and stop this nonsense before we all end up
losing our jobs to the Wunderkind of this nation. Or at least all you
socially biased liberals can stand on a railroad track and show me how
you stop that speeding train.
