It's not my fault I have an ample bosom.
If I could get the fuckers chopped off, I would.
So NO to expensiver bras.
However, I can see the argument for clothes. I don't agree, but I can see.

I'm with becky on this
Bras make sense. Typical clothes don't unless we're talking about particularly high tech or expensive materials.

So I should be penalised for something I didn't choose?

( thealternativefact, Sat 20 Jun 2009, 12:36, Reply)

I shouldn't have a right to the throne because I didn't chose to be "common"?
I should have to pay for clothes because society generally finds public nudity unacceptable?

I should contribute taxes to causes I chose not to support?

Why should your bra cost the same as a smaller one if yours costs more to design, test and manufacture? Why should the price of smaller bras be artificially inflated to make you feel better because everybody pays the same price?

/Cannot actually say whether larger bras do cost significantly more to design or not.

Your argument is rather weak and silly.

( thealternativefact, Sat 20 Jun 2009, 12:42, Reply)

Well the first three points I was just being silly
But the serious one makes sense.
( Captain V, Sat 20 Jun 2009, 12:43, Reply)

The 1st two points are a choice you have made
Last one is circumstance. Unless you had your boobies put in by a man in a hospital. But then if you can afford a boob job then Im sure you wouldnt be too bothered about shelling out to house them well


EDIT: and you have a right to the throne by blood you berk.

Ok
So I shouldn't have I right to the throne because I didn't choose my blood?

I'm not sure how the nudist one is much of a choice. If I wanted to be nudist, all the time, I'd get done for indecent exposure. Doesn't leave me with much of a choice really.

The tax one is sort of a choice but not much of one. Whatever I chose I have to pay taxes towards things that I don't support and nothing towards some causes I believe should be supported by taxes. Whoever I chose to vote for this will be the case.

I wasn't saying that people with large boobs should suffer the consequences of their choices but that sometimes life just deals you lemons. If it does cost more to develop (the extra material cost is negligible) a large bra then why should people that don't need those bras subsidise them?

Well unfortunately you're not related to David Hasslehoff or my mum either (I hope) If everyone had a right to the throne it would all get a bit messy wouldnt it. It was decided like that to keep order. You could go and contest it if you wish. I dont think you'd get very far though.

As for the taxes one, you chose to or not to support.
(i should have joined myspace, Sat 20 Jun 2009, 13:17, Reply)

I think you're missing my point with the taxes
And you're right about who has a right to the throne but are again missing the point. I didn't chose to have no right to the throne, but I don't, I deal with the consequences.

People with a large bust didn't (mostly) chose to need a bra that (supposedly) costs more to design, but they do need that bra...

No, not at all, but on the same note, why should small boobed women have to pay the same as large boobed women when they're getting less material

( fuck shit up the best you never had, Sat 20 Jun 2009, 12:41, Reply)

I'm a big girl and even if I starved myself I would still be a big skinny girl.
I could never get any smaller than a size 16 without really being very ill so why should I have to pay extra for clothes because of the way I was born.
( girlinthehole, Sat 20 Jun 2009, 12:35, Reply)

No, I do agree with you.
Just saying I could see why someone might argue differently.
I know full well I could easily diet down to a 12, and I probably should - I guess that could be seen as a 'choice'.
But the amount of money involved in making clothes bigger is negligible, so I don't see why they should charge more.

Big cars should be the same price as small ones?
( enoughblueskyforsailorstrousers, Sat 20 Jun 2009, 13:06, Reply)

and I have the opposite problem,
my boobs are big, but my sternum protrudes a bit - so I actually end up paying a fuckload more for my bras then most women I know because most bras in my size cut into my sternum and hurt - a lot. And this means the bras I want to buy, the prettier, nicer ones which actually cost less, are out of my reach - and I end up having to buy the ugly bras with the nanna straps and pay twice as much.

well
People who are a size 28 and weigh a million stone... That in some way or another will probably be their/their parents fault. No-one is born morbidly obese its a lifestyle choice to follow your 8 pizzas and 3 KFC mega buckets with 6 bars of chocolate and a gallon of ice cream.

I, however, was born with large bresticles so I should not be punished with excessive prices for how nature wanted me to look.

But Ive got a size 18-20 friend and I dont really see her as bigger than most. Maybe its body shape. I dont know... Oh I appear to be rambling.

I have big feet and my shoes cost a bit more sometimes and I have to pay more for socks... I didn't ask for big feet but I don't expect anyone but me to pay for their accommodation.

If you want to take the argument back to its most basic level, I didn't ask to be born, so why should I pay for my own food?

Now thats just silly.
that is beyond a reasonable argument

Well not really
but I suppose if you dont eat you will die so your argument will come full circle.

And you dont technically have to pay to eat. Go at it Ray Mears style if you're going to be picky...

You don't have to wear a bra

( Captain V, Sat 20 Jun 2009, 13:13, Reply)

and then suffer back problems and droopy boobs long before their time

( fuck shit up the best you never had, Sat 20 Jun 2009, 13:15, Reply)

Yes... but at that level you don't have to wear a bra (etc) either.

Fact is, saying by nature I am bigger than someone else and therefore require more fuel/clothing etc is unlikely to qualify me for a subsidy in any current society. Do you think we should discount clothing for dwarves?

They could probably get away with kids clothes.
Even I can fit into them. AND they're cheaper than adults clothes... hmmm

These are rational and sensible responses and should be added to the bible.
