Nut Allergies and Children: How Others React Is Causing a Call for Increased Regulation.

[mawilson 2,133]

Paul, I would like to send my child to school with Antrhax. You ok with that? Freedom of choice you know?

I'm totally ok with that. If you choose a school with Anthrax for your kid, who am I to argue?

[Zero Sum 305]

why are you laughing? i answered your second point.

Your first point is silly because any and all materials used by a school cafeteria should be cleaned and sterilized before use anyway.

And ignored the actual point.

As for school cafeteria equipment... think about that given the food source. No, you can't think things through if you're ignoring the point I'm making, can you?

High school maybe. Anthrax is too loud for younger kids.

Public safety is not an issue here. We're talking maybe ONE child in the lunchroom, maybe TWO have this issue out of 500 in there at once?

This isn't a 'public safety' issue at all.

We keep the 'special ed' students seperate from everyone else. Throw the nut allergy kids in with them. Obviously THEY have special needs.

The rest of society should not HAVE TO conform to the needs of a couple of individuals.

Paul, that's not very nice. You want to stigmatize the kids because of a characteristic they have no control over? You didn't like having to ride the short bus to school or having to wear a football helmet to class, yet now you're suggesting it to others? It's a minor inconvenience, you are being absurd here paul.

No, the only ones being absurd are the ones forcing the rest of the class to conform to their problem.

Whine, whine, whine.

Kids stay safe from anaphylactic shock. That's a good thing. Want PBJ? Paul will pack it for you.

The whining comes from those who try and ban/regulate silly things in the first place.

Fighting back against idiocy, is not whining except to deluded liberal authoritarians.

Save us from the nut haters. And yes, that has a double meaning.

Are you allergic to anything? How can cleaning school lunch gear protect you from food plant contamination by allergens? Still not thinking things through are you?

That happens with angry people.

let's make this easy for you.

Why is it a school's responsibility to worry about the allergy of a certain child.

It's the job of the PARENT to make sure a child is fed properly. NOT the school.

Am I the only one that LOL'd that this little pu$$y's name is Skylar?

Of course parents that would name their kid Skylar are going to try to ban peanuts instead of educating their kid and making HIM be responsible. Nope. "We'll just make everyone else watch out for little Skylar because he can't be responsible for himself. He definitely can't stick up for himself and make sure those around him don't eat peanut butter and stuff. Poor little Skylar."

All Hail Sparta.

That would be your opinion on feeding in school (missed something else again, huh?).

I knew a Skylar once. Skylar was on the football team and had a hot girlfriend.

Other than that, check out what was said about school equipment that Paul obviously missed.

what does school equipment have to do with INDIVIDUAL responsibility.

I know you hate those two words like every other liberal menace out there, but damn. Learn them.

There you go again knowing things.

Just to throw it out there- try reading the quote I repeated already for you, . Then perhaps you'll understand why I can't stop laughing at you, independent of you being libertarian, paranoid, or delusional.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

I'm not pretending anything, but it's not MY responsibility to worry about YOUR allergy.

No Paul, it's not your responsibility to do anything is it.

I already gave you an answer, you just refuse to accept it.

It's not my fault you'd rather concentrate more on making it the school's responsibility to feed your child than your own as a parent.

It's an article about how people are being stigmatised because their children have potentially fatal allergies that can be triggered by the ingestion or proximity to certain foods containing nuts.

Forgive me, but I don't see how you are fighting against anything. These parents have the right to an opinion and to promote what is in their and their children's self-interest, just as you do. Well unfortunately it works both ways, living in a society you have to accept that sometimes you can't have everything that you want.

You seem to believe that you shouldn't be impacted in any way shape or form by other people. Well all I can say is I wouldn't want to be in a car with you - I bet your road rage is something to behold...
