You're a horrible person for wishing your kid was normal

Oops, I forgot that crystals can cure things like that (I'm clutching my amethyst crystals as I type.)

Aha! Never thought of that.

You truly are a magnificent person! (said all my voices)

I've found that eating a full pint of Ben & Jerry's Half-Baked cures depression. It's a short term cure but it does work. Unless you're lactose intolerant and forget to take Lactaid - then it's not so much a cure but a purge of all bodily fluids and feelings.

Can we, as a society, just admit there isn't a fantastic, new, magic diet that will "fix" everything?

Yes! Fabulous look for you and no freaking horizontal stripes. These take your eyes to the right places and looks flattering. I don't know why all stripes are horizontal these days. It makes me look wider than I already am.

One of my favorite South Park episodes - second only to Cartman Gets an Anal Probe. :)

I didn't bother replying to the troll because it was so stupid but thanks for trying to explain things to it.

I would like the chip you described - no pets, unicorns, cars, reading glasses, underwear or dinosaurs mentioned - just one that could track my special needs child should he elope.

Yeah, my ex-husband used to get frisky when I was in sweats. Divorce was about his lying and cheating, btw - nothing to do with the sweats.

Geez, that's scary. It's not a moral issue for me when it comes to keeping track of the escape artist known as my son.

I never said anything about neurotypical children. I explained my concerns for my son with Autism and eloping that is common with this disorder. I wouldn't want to chip my other children for that reason. They don't need it.

I understand your (and your wife's) perspective. I'm not advocating surgery. I'm saying that if it was as simple as chipping your pets, I'd go for it. Yeah, I know it's not (that's covered in the article) but I read entirely too much sci-fi and think scientists will get there.

Yeah I get that: "I would like scientists to develop a chip that would find my child - presumably alive. " Thank you and many others for pointing it out.

I've explained to you about my concerns and thoughts about developing a GPS chip. You want a fight, go elsewhere.

I'd imagine in a large portion of these cases we're dealing with children who have special needs.

Ha! Good one!

Yeah, it's hard when you have a child or adult who can't communicate fully if they're lost or just wander off.

Wait, you'd have a problem with this??
