	Swedish Police: No Fatties Allowed In Suffering from ads?

http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europ...y.ap/index.html

Apparently, a new security door has a scale to ensure that only 1 person is allowed through at a time. However, the scale thinks anyone over 105Kg must be 2 people trying to sneak in at once.

If it's supposed to accept up to 160 kg, what purpose does it serve at all? Thats comfortably over twice my weight, and I'm not exactly small.

Weight is not a good way of regulating entry to one person at a time. How about a camera that tries to count the number of heads?

Yes, but if an American expat were to become a Swedish Police Officer, discrimination would be possible.

I call myself fat, but I would qualify for the Swedish police force if this was the only criteria.

Anyway, police [insert gender neutral word here] are not supposed to be fat. They are supposed to run faster than the bad guys. Our police force don't shoot people if they don't threaten your life, they outrun them, wrestle them down and put hand cuffs on them.

Right, 105kg does not necessarily mean fat. Doesn't even necessarily mean a huge beefcake with Rambo muscles. I have friends aroudn 90kg and 110kg, and none of them are fat or super muscular. They are in shape, and the one weighing 110kg, he is lean too. I don't know why he weighs so much though. He's 190cm tall, but still, quite lean. Some people do weigh that and not be fat or even THAT muscular.

Weight is certainly not an index to be measured if person is fat alone. Nor is the relation between weight and height, that's about the most stupid one. Only figure skaters go to normal category and ski jumpers. I mean, you can be totally normal built and be categorised fat, even if you are not carrying big muscles. How about just looking at the person and saying 'you are fat' or 'you are not fat', if that's what we need to find out?

And when it comes to police forces, I know people who are a bit overweight, but still are in better shape than some leaner people. They have better muscular shape, they have better cardio etc.

But Americans are fat, that's not a question.

I must confess I find it somewhat hard to envision a person who is a few centimeters taller and 40 kg heavier than me, and is neither fat nor heavily muscular.

On the topic of fatness, one of my female friends at university decided she was fat and put herself on strict diet. After 2 weeks, she found out she had lost more of her tits than of her weist, so she put the diet to a panic-stop. After 2 weeks of reverse diet, her weist had grown, but not her tits, so she ended up looking more like a whiskey barrel than before the diet.

CO, that's what happens when women go on diets. They read them magazines on how to lose this and this much and how fast. They are all BS. People skip meals beacuse 'they are on a diet'. It's BS. They should learn about nutrition properly, and they would realize how it works.

Last Conformist, that is because you have no idea about things and you are clueless when it comes to these things. Yes this is true.

Well, why would I say something that isn't true. If you have a brand new computer, you will be glad to say you have one. Sometimes, usually most likely people will exaggarate their .. gifts.

LC, you just don't know a thing about real men. REal men's testicles weight 5 kg EACH. The weighing machine fears his potential wrath, so it puts up extra 10 kilograms just for pleasing the MAN. And the blood punched from PUNKS weighs at least 1kg extra. You just don't know these things, because .. well.. you are a liberal, yes? Yes.. but it's not your fault and I'm not blaming you at all. I just find gardening and stamp collecting little boring for my taste of spending spare time.

Well, my tummy is really starte to ache.. damn potatoes... I go to sleep now, this time for real. a bientot!
