DOT considering peanut ban on flights

[Lifted]

What the fuck am I supposed to have with my scotch? Grapes?

These peanut allergy assholes should just drive or take a train.

If you've ever experienced anaphylaxis you would never even think of such god damn rude moronic responses much less think they were humorous. Assholes.

 

[BoomerD]

Next dammed thing...people are going to be calling for a total ban on peanuts and peanut products...

"Oh my, little Johnny might be in the same school with someone who eats peanuts on the weekend."

I agree, it is pretty rude. It's actually more rude than expecting 99.4% of the population to accommodate the remaining 0.6%.

OK, so what do you replace peanuts with if they get banned? It has to be something with a similar cost/shelf life...

sunflower seeds

sunflower seeds

Fuck that. Not even in the same snack category.

pretzels are also safe and cheap

Won't someone PLEASE think about the poor people with flour allergies?

If you weren't trying to be an asshole, I'd say there are gluten-free pretzels for Celiacs.

There are readily available substitutes for peanuts. Not so for flights.

Since the government is involved the simple solution that retains the most freedom for the majority is never going to be considered. Simply requiring airlines to carry EpiPens on flights would solve all the problems but they can't take something away from someone else that way.

Epi pens just stop the person from dying for that minute or so. They still need immediate hospital care.

Epipens aren't always enough to stop an anaphylaxic reaction, many times they don't even buy the time necessary to get to an ED.

Like the majority of assholes on ATOT (and they are the majority) he doesn't have to try, it comes very natural. You can tell when somebody is forcing asshole-ness in their words, it's all legit here.

I have a severe food allergy. I have almost died several times because of it. The solution is simple....a shot of epinephrine. The EpiPen works fine for me as it is the same thing they are going to give me at the hospital except it is much cheaper and easier. You would have to ingest a bowl of peanuts for it not to work.

I'm against ridiculous things like banning peanuts from schools and not allowing people to bring peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. With such a confined space, though, this has pretty good merit to it. However, as with most things, this should not be government regulated; it should be up to the airlines on whether or not they want to allow peanuts on THEIR aircraft.

If people have a peanut allergy and the airline decides they want to serve peanuts -- guess what?!?!? Rent a car! Have to travel over the ocean -- guess what?!?!?!??! Rent a boat! Shit, if you rent a boat you might even get a thread full of douchebags saying you're a hero for sailing across water

The sad excuse for human beings exhibited in much of this thread is frightening.

Yep, what are we coming to that there are now people that can die simply from being near peanuts? Total failures.

 

[TridenT]

I think we ban sunscreen because you white boys get sunburned so easily. I think we should just let you guys die off so that the rest of the human race can live on without sunscreen.

Fuck ya'll. It's been too long that you fuckers have been around. Worthless pansies can't manage to stay in the sun for a few hours.

 

[techs]

if they ban peanuts... i'll bring my own powederized peanut dust onto the plane and release it into the airvent.

fuck anaphalactic shock.

Forwarded to the TSA.

I don't think they let asses as fat as yours onto planes.

You're the party advocating the banning of productions usable by most of humanity, you pathetic weak sub-human failure you.

Wait a minute... aren't you a disgusting fatty? When are they going to ban fat fucks like you from planes? The sooner the better, right fatty?
