When Arkansas stops being racist as fuck, let me know. There's difference between not knowing local flora/fauna of any area of the globe and assuming all of black Africa is the same/unimportant/reduced to a couple stereotypes that reflect Western imagination and contribute to colonialism.

Or maybe it's more like telling your friends that Norway is the European country that's known for its pizza.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people act as though Africa is a country instead of a widely diverse continent. It's annoying.

Your choice puts people like my husband at risk. He's got cancer. Chemo destroys your white cell count, meaning even if you were vaccinated as a child, your body doesn't have the ability to fight off anything. And I mean ANYTHING - the common cold could land him in intensive care.

Vaccines should be mandatory. I know people don't trust the government but this is causing a public health crisis and someone needs to step in.

People can choose to do all kinds of stupid shit. Doesn't make the shit they're doing any less stupid.

Hey, you sound really upset, so I'm definitely trying to write this in the most calm, respectful way possible. Please know that I am not trying to insult you, but that I am genuinely perplexed by your decisions.

Yep. I'm a cell biologist and every single colleague of mine is super pro-vaccinations. I mean, duh. But it's amazing how many people believe that they vaccines are dangerous because they read some quackery website and have "done their research". Meanwhile actual doctors and scientists— who happen to be human beings…

If states are requiring women to view ultrasounds, listen to heartbeats, review disclosures, and wait three days to get an abortion— how about we do the same to anti-vaxxers?

"I'm religiously opposed to vaccinating my child."

The outbreak has been traced to two areas of Sacramento County.

I'm an Immunologist, and I live in the Bay Area (the height of this fucking idiocy). I get so. fucking. PISSED. about this. I'm making boyfriend and I get TDaP boosters, even though I still have 2 years till I need a Tetanus boost because If I get whooping cough (or potentially kids around me get it) I will flip the…

The worst part is they are spreading. Just last month saw the first article in my native tongue about vaccines causing autism.

Don't be an idiot vaccinate your kids. I'm all for cloth diapering, organic food, composting, recycling, solar power and generally being suspicious of big corporations and the fucking man, but seriously vaccinate your fucking kids. Vaccinate your kids. Vaccinate your kids. Vaccinate your kids. Not vaccinating your…

I guess since the kid wasn't moving around much, it's proof that kids these days are just way lazier than their parents.

Beautiful.

Here in America we get Hot Wheels and Barbie. I wish our fast food restaurants had this much pride. It also shouldn't come in a Happy Meal. It should be sold as a collector's piece with any order. I get Subway for lunch with $1 bags that hold my water bottle because they think we're all marathon runners.

You know...a father works his whole life with the singular goal of keeping his kid off the pole.

Yeah, here in the U.S. the toys they give out are not nearly as high quality looking.

If I showed those pictures to friends they would not believe it's for a Happy Meal =_=
