I think what’s more crazy is they think the second amendment exists so they have the right to overthrow a corrupt government. It doesn’t. In, fact, the reason it exists is written into the amendment itself: for a well-regulated citizen militia, which we had instead of a military. They put the reason in the text!

Hmm. Actually, angry and poorly armed conspiracy theorists are a pretty good model for the guerilla-like organizations that the US actually face as opponents. What if they just try to get them to take up arms, as a part of the practice? A meta-conspiracy theory :D

This is very accurate.

Totally worse. In the US hospitals are sort of for-profit private entities, aren’t they? That’s probably why. We socialists to the north wouldn’t stand for that kind of crazy.

It’s not like America doesn’t already own the American Southwest...

This is where we need Terry Tate, Hospital Linebacker.

Sometimes I worry that doves have officially fallen out of the cool/trendy/popular segment, then I listen to literally any song of theirs again and immediately stop caring.

Yeah, they did this with both my kids. For the first, I told them to get lost. For the second, it was a little more stress-free at that point, so... why not?

I’m actually really surprised that this can happen. Aren’t maternity wards locked down like Fort Knox? For all 3 of my kids, I had to go through actual security checks every time I went in or out.

It was even worse for me. The photographer came in, asked if we’d like some pictures with our new baby, which we said yes to (not knowing this was a PAID service; we just figured the hospital provided it as a benefit).

Same thing here, over 24 hours in labor, completely exhausted and in walks the photographer. The photog asked to take pictures and we just looked at them bewildered for more than an awkward moment and they said “Umm...we’ll be back.” When they came back later, I said *No*.

You’d think the Russians would have learned not to mess with Finland by now.

What’s worse is the fucking website they give you has the most sweet, sappy music that plays over the pictures of your precious newborn and it makes you want so badly to buy just one, JUST ONE of the pictures of your child. The thing that kills me is that I didn’t buy the pictures of my kid and I honestly wish I had,…

We had this happen too. It took all of my energy not to start screaming bloody murder at the woman coming in to rip us off on photos of my new daughter. I’m usually a pretty sarcastic-who cares kind of person; but someone trying to exploit the most pure and angelic thing I had ever seen just about put me over the edge.

We had the photogs come by for each of our kids. We actually just managed to snatch the U watermarked low red photos of number 1, and those were good enough.

Get a midwife, they won’t stand for any of that shit.

I’m a little surprised the guy was allowed in the door and not chokeslammed by security. “Hi, I’m here to grab strange babies and photograph them from every angle!” seems like a big NOPE.

Hospital photographers are the worst. Our son was in a bubble in the Special Care Nursery, waiting for the doctor to perform a procedure to remove oxygen that was leaking out of his lungs and into his chest cavity, when a photographer came in to explain the available packages. After a few moments of silence she left…

This is true. Neither of you has slept in 48 hours, your entire world has just been turned upside down, and this woman comes barging in at 8 AM trying to charge you 8 billion dollars for a couple shitty photos. We fell for it the first time around, and then the second time it was “well, we did it with the first kid,…

Same thing happened to my wife and I when our last baby was born. Luckily, the photographer was worse than the one from your local high school paper, so not buying any of those shitty pictures was easy.
