The solution, then is to advocate for pet only flights, or something like that, not to get on a flight where there may be people with allergies. People die from this stuff, and an emergency landing may be too late. I mean, it's nice that you're willing to move, but it can be too late for the right (wrong?) person, if…

SCIENCE! That's seriously the best thing I heard all day.

What if you want smaller breasts? Do you rub them with winter vegetables, like cabbage and beets?

It kills me when people don't take allergies seriously. It's literally a life and death issue!

Thanks for this!

Genius.

Yeah, although I guess sometimes the two come really close? I have to say, I have huge trust issues, for all sorts of reasons, and it was always clear to me that animals (though I love them), can't fill that gap

Nope. I'd say more that I ask first what policies and positions would promote child welfare the most, especially for those who are most vulnerable. If I were designing policy, at least 90% of parents are good parents, so it would cruel and stupid to interfere there. But infertile people who want to adopt would…

Well, it's just a guess. But those people I know come at it from a point of extreme misanthropy, so all that's left is to love animals. Although yes, I'd take a misanthrope over an animal abuser (unless it's a child) any day.

One of the things that just kills me about hysteria around exposing children to sex just how, as usual, it's the most vulnerable people who get the most hurt.

There's something so messed up about the fact that only adults with kids can go to a playground...

Completely not statistically representative of course but the three biggest animal lovers I know personally are also three of the most awful people - and yes, very alienated from other people. I'd be interested in what the research says. I would guess that extreme animal lovers and haters both have serious mental…

Are you serious? That's insane. It should be illegal. Surely your right to live should trump everything else. Don't people understand how allergies work? My sympathies.

Hah ha! Everyone was agreeing with you so much that when I pressed recommend, the number of stars jumped from 8 to 12! Clearly everyone's busy agreeing with you...

Wow, you're a really nasty human being. Good luck getting along with people.

I have PCOS. I really want children. I fully empathize, believe you me. But really, putting saying that people have a right to have children is so deeply disturbing to me.

YOU are willfully distorting my words and the heinous accusation that parenthood is akin to slavery. I said no such thing. I said that the RIGHT TO HAVE CHILDREN is akin to slavery which is a very different thing. You are willfully distorting my views because they make you uncomfortable and you want to make me the…

In my experience, people have varying degrees of ability to deal with difficult situations, and if they can't deal with one difficult situation, they certainly can't deal with another, very similar one. Just a recent example, the same person at work who didn't want to hear about my abusive childhood when my coworkers…

I can't believe we live in a world where saying that "people don't have a right to have children" is even remotely controversial. It explains a lot.

I didn't say s/he was. I said it was a libertarian point of view, to argue that we don't live in a society, and that some choices made mean that some choices are not made, and that has societal implications. I perceive it as a libertarian point of view, but truly, I'm not an expert, so I might be wrong. I do think…
