From dbubley:

Sick subway passengers, most of them dieters who faint from dizziness, are among the top causes of train delays, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

Yep, I saw that article yesterday in the Metro. These women are nuts. I say if you faint from hunger because you are *dieting*, you get left on the next platform and that's that.

Annoying.

Yes, they are "sick". But it's one of the illness' I don't have a lot of sympathy for. There are a ton of support networks out there. With people all over the world who are starving because they can't afford food (and as a person who has gone hungry for lack of money for 3 or 4 days at a time and has relied on handouts from various churches and soup kitchens), I just can't work up the sympathy.

N.
Who's trains have been getting delayed A LOT lately.

Head bang desk. This is a sick society in far more ways than we can count. I wonder if this is true in other cities as well?
