Myself, and those I care about could give a rat's ass about the peanut butter issue!

IMO, the issue that needs to be addressed here is the bar in Boone that charges $7 for a shot of Jager!??! WTF is up with that?

No way! Grizo is the Man! Or Pig, or whatever. But he's alright in my book, and 100% right! $7 for a shot of Jager is highway robbery!

It shouldn't be on the onus of every other parent to make sure they pack their kids lunch with items that do not contain products that OTHER parents' kids are allergic to.

If I ever develop interproximal tooth decay, I would gladly let DD work his magic inside my mouth...no homo!

We kinda' recouped our losses a little bit on those $7 shots! When we left that particular bar, there was at least 2 shot glasses in every pocket... :oops:

If you drink and travel, it can get a bit pricey! We had a layover in Chicago, and spent our time in the Blackhawks bar. Beers there were $7, there was six of us, and our tab came to around $150!

All the drinks on this trip seemed to be in the $7 range, and I still don't know WTF is up with that!??!

The mini-bottles of alcohol on our flights were $7, and ALPHA, being the kind and generous person he is, paid for mine! Probably the greatest alcoholic drink I've ever had was the 190 Tiger in Greenville, SC, and it was $6.95...but worth every penny!

Other than the $7 shots of Jager, and the $7 beers, I thought the prices were about right.

In some cases. I was at a nature center outside of Naples, FL a couple years ago. 90% of the money for the center came from private donations. It included a nature trail and boardwalk to explore wildlife habitat. Found out it had to close a few weeks later because the nature trail wasn't easy to navigate in wheelchairs. :suspicious:

I don't think people should be forced to accomodate people with disabilities. I think people with disabilities are responsible for adjusting to the world rather than the having the world be forced to adjust to them

And I say that as the father of a deaf child. If people VOLUNTARILY decide to accommodate you, that's great. Wonderful. But no one should be FORCED to accommodate you. Not in private industry anyway.

If it's government and a situation where government says you have to do something I can see accommodation if a disability would make it otherwise impossible for you to do it.

But stuff like private businesses having to have wheelchair ramps, etc.? No. That should be happening.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

You probably don't recall this, but years ago you convinced me that smoking shouldn't be allowed in bars based on the ADA.

Paraphrasing your argument, you asked if people with asthma, on oxygen, etc. Shouldn't have the right to frequent an establishment. My argument was over. And I admitted it.

My point is, you bring up the ADA frequently, but I can't get a reading from you.

It's a Love/Hate thing, isn't it? You like it, but sometimes think it goes too far.

Right?

This isn't accommodating people with physical disabilities.

Accommodating kids with a food allergy would be making sure to provide alternative meals that are peanut free. I'm cool with that. :thumb:

Forcing all the kids in the entire school to not eat peanuts... isn't accommodation. It would be more analogous to forcing everyone to use a wheelchair to "accommodate" the disabled kid in the wheelchair.

This was the exact scenario that played out just a few nights ago when I was grabbing dinner at a local bar. There was a white trash couple to my right. The bill came. I saw them grumbling about something. They called over the bartender and their exact words: "You charge $7 for a shot of Jagermeister?" The bartender ended up going to the manager and getting it reduced. I didn't hear the settlement amount.

Dude, even I, a certified cheapskate, would not stoop to that level. You have to pay to play when you're drinking.

Cheap bastards. :ohno:

jellybelly is right for once!!! :notworthy: :lol:

The last time I checked, people with food allergies aren't in a protected class.
However, I don't see any reason schools can't make reasonable accommodations for kids who have allergies. Totally banning peanuts isn't reasonable. The onus ultimately falls on the parents and kids themselves. :nod:
