Except it's not quite discrimination as it's based on actual factors that effect the operation and delivery of service.
I just spent 26 hours flying from Busan South Korea to Toronto Canada (holly crap my internal clock is screwed) My friend had to pay 50 bucks extra because one of his bags were overweight. Why should he have to pay more just because his luggage weighs more? Because it costs the airline more in fuel and takes up more space. My flight from Detroit to Toronto was in a plane so small that an obese person would have to squeeze just to fit in two seats. The airline shouldn't have to lose hundreds, if not thousands because they have to sell one less seat (and deny someone a chance to fly) because one of the passengers is morbidly obese.
speaking of obesity and air travel. I had my first North American culture shock in the Detroit airport. We got off the plane and the entire airport staff was fat. Everyobdy was huge. After 15 months in Korea, these people looked like... not people. They were all round. It was kind of scary.
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
