Thread for Things That Made You Frown Today

Flu shots are completely useless, just like child immunizations! Just ask Jenny McCarthy.

On a non-sarcastic note, I'm sorry your son has the flu. Poor guy.

That is something that does make me frown. Children dying from diseases that they shouldn't be dying of because their parents subscribed to that bitch ' s lunacy.

He got his flu shot less than three months ago. But flu shots aren't 100% reliable. He's still puking and snotting and has a fever. So it may not be the flu, but he damn sure caught it at school from a kid, because adults get fired for coming to k-6 schools sick here in California, and he was healthy as a little 5 year old birthday brat going to school. 3.5 hours later... I am cleaning up a bathroom floor. Blah!

Oh I wasn't blaming you. That sucks for him, and yeah, probably shouldn't send sick kids to school.

Never had regular flu, but Swine Flu didn't make me puke. I guess people react to things differently or it could be some other nasty thing running amok.

All I know is if I have to take him to the emergency room on his birthday, I'm going to be punching a parent in the nose tomorrow. His fever's at 101.2 now. =(.

They say 104... If it looks bad and is worse or is steadily climbing though... Better to be safe.

Make him some cinnamon tea.

Make him some cinnamon tea.

What, no pot?

What, no pot?

I don't generally recommend that for kids unless it's for something like cancer or seizures. Cinnamon is very good at helping fight the flu.

I prefer the method of my people, the white man. Chicken noodle soup and sprite.

It is worth noting that Italian pride, Irish pride, and perhaps Catholic pride all have a positive history in our country as well. Again, each of these cases involves a people who have suffered discrimination and maintain an interest in keeping a memory of shared history and cultural identity alive.

Hey, I'm Italian.

And I'm tired of all this discrimination I've suffered over the years as well as my ancestors. Fuck all you white people and the rest of you too! Fucking racists!
