It's your fault for being athletic, so why should i be expected to pay for you? [/qb][/QUOTE]Nice one, I'll bite (much pun intended.) If I blew out my knee after my doctor repeatedly told me my bones are weak and I shouldn't run but I ran anyways, or I pushed myself way beyond my limits and knew I was going to blow out my knee unless I stopped but instead kept running until my knee gave out, it's all my fault an no one is obligated to pay. If, on the other hand, I simply tripped and fell - well, that's what insurance is for. You see, blowing out one's knee isn't due to being athletic, it's either an accident or result of one's carelessness and stupidity. But then again, heart problems are also nothing but accidents and have nothing to do with being morbidly obese [i]and not doing anything about it[/i] - all those scientist are quacks anyways, right? Kate Harding and some random junk food science blog say so, how can they possibly be wrong? ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
