Chicago Woman Sues McDonalds (Page 2)

for reals.  just icky. 

You don't have to have sex to fill a condom...

:P

i seriously can't tell if you are joking.

if not...wow...i'm glad i don't know you in real life.

You just added another (more likely) scenario to this that makes it more vomit worthy.

I do what I can.

We had a nanny for our kids when we had three of them under the age of 4 and couldn't afford day care......a 70 year old black gal...."Miss B"......if that would have happened on her watch, I promise you, McDonald Employee's would have been running for cover.

Well, right... with that arsenal of guns you have, of course people jump!!

ummm... I've gotten busy in many more interesting places.  Brown chicken, brown cow.

Is he the one who left the condom for the little boys?

It's amazing I am not allowed to have an opinion about kids unless have them.

I don't own a pit bull/fighting dog, but I have my opinion about them.

I have opinions about guns and nuclear weapons.  Last I checked, I don't own an ICBM.

I have opinions about how Bowman/Elway manage the broncos, but I don't own a NFL team.

If you don't have Cancer, you can't talk about it cuz you just don't know.

New rule, if you don't have personal experience or have/own something, you can't speak about it AT ALL.

Your point is well taken, and I agree......but if you really think about it, things would work out better with the bolded part.

Personally, I would think that I could expect the playground of a McDonalds, you have the reasonable expectation your kids should be safe and not have to stare at them unblinking if they play there.

I also expect my kids to be safe in their beds and I can go to sleep and not hover over them staring.  But kids die of SIDS all the time.

I expect my kids to be safe at schools, so I don't stand in the back of the classroom (or my nanny) to keep tabs of them 24/7.

But I don't have kids, so I guess I don't know.

I think the point was that someone without kids can't really speak authoritatively about parenting... not that they can't have opinions about kids.  There is a difference.

BTW, what exactly is a "fighting dog" is that kinda like an "assault weapon".  Seeing, you know, that any dog can be raised to be a fighting dog, and any gun can be used in an assault.

In many cases yes. 

The problem is uninformed opinions vs informed (even without real life experience) opinions.  Too many people talk from the heart/gut feeling than knowing facts.  But such is life.

They can't?  Teachers who went to school, and deal with kids maybe MORE than parents do can't speak authoritatively?

Counselors or others trained people?  What about brothers/sisters that had basically take care of their little brothers sisters with absentee parents?  That seems to be common in broken homes.  They don't have kids themselves, so can't have valuable insight?

So you got to have them to speak authoritatively.

Crazy as it sounds, I may take the advice of a child development expert that has no kids before 90% of the advice I could get from random parents.

Having em don't make you an authority at raising em.

I don't take my IRA and 401K advice from a man on welfare.

I don't get car repair advice from a man who's never been under the hood himself.

I don't fly on planes in which a pilot has never flown.

Why would I take parenting advice from somebody who has never been shat on one day and stayed up until 4 in the morning to keep that same child calm the next?

i don't get 401k advice from someone that just HAS a 401k.

having kids doesn't make you an authority on parenting, it just makes you a parent.
