The NYC Subway Guide or How I Hate My Fellow (Fat) Man

There's a funny post over at ThisIsWhatWeDoNow.com that rants about NYC's subways. Larry nails a lot of good gripes if you're a daily rider of this world class underground rail system. And evidently some of the comments are none too pleased with his obesity complaints.

Well here's a scoop: you made a fucking CHOICE to get to where you are. This wasn't some overnight phenomenon; it was a systematic process of gorging yourself and not being active enough. Your corpulence may be acceptable among rural and suburban areas of this country but you're taking up VALUABLE SPACE in the city. Space that the city can ill-afford to give you with your clogging up space in trains or backing up sidewalk traffic.

And for the record, calling Larry a bigot is deeply insulting to those of us who have seen real bigotry. But it''s not surprising considering you lack even the perspective to maintain a healthy weight...
