I never expected to see somebody ardently defend the right to smear shit on restaurant tables. Seriously, is there nothing people can agree on? We can’t all get together in the name of fighting ignorance and agree that smearing shit on a restaurant table is a bad idea? Is there anything that’s not left/right Christian/athiest bifurcated, but just simply good sense and good citizenship versus slovenly, selfish boorishness?
Let’s stop with the fucking hyperbole. If I see someone planting a diapered ass on a restaurant table it’s going to piss me off and gross me out. But they aren’t “smearing shit” on the table. We can leave the hyperbole to Dio next time he calls me and the rest of a thread a bunch of baby rapists.
I don’t think there’s a moral distinction between A and B if A has a high probability of leading to B, and that B is easily foreseen from A.
I don’t think there’s a high probability of shit being smeared on a table by a diaper-wearing baby.
Really? So by that reasoning the US is perfectly happy to be nuking China, Japan, Germany and England? Infact they want to commit genocide and kill all those pesky palestinians and for good measure kill all Jews as well? I mean, after all, it must be true because the US has dem Nu Clear weapons which can be foreseeably and even predictably used for all of the above right? :rolleyes::rolleyes:
Wow, we made it all the way to the #6 post before some parent came in with the “my child shits rainbows” nonsense. Must be a record.
Depends on where you are. For example, this is not true of McDonalds.
So, you are admitting that having a baby sit on the table results in germs?
It is common in the summer, particularly in areas where “summer” = “hot”. I see later on that you live in the frozen north - try casting your all-knowing eye in Southern California.
It isn’t private, the parents are doing it in a public place. And the restaurant can control it, if they see it. I don’t think I’ve known a restaurant that actually sanitizes their tables routinely. So if the restaurant doesn’t see the baby sitting on the table, or God forbid, having it’s diaper changed on the table, they may not actually be able to clean off all of the e coli that might be sitting there. Where my silverware will go…
You asked if females sitting on tables was an epidemic too? My response was, basically, the average teenage female isn’t notorious for shitin’ themselves @ random. If they were, it would be just as nasty * as a child with a diaper on a restaurant table.
*Is my opinion, just covering my ass incase someone wants to be a dick.
You, sir, have obviously never seen a baby artfully fill a diaper to overflowing.
One word: bloomers. “Dress and diaper” is a bad look (my wife and I wouldn’t be caught dead doing that to our 18-month-old daughter).
You are a crazy person.
You sure you really need to leave the house for any reason at all? Lots of bad things out there, ya know.
Snort. So to get your “well mannered baby” to not scream her head off, you feel justified in sitting her ass on a public table? Do you also do it at home? If not, why?
Hyper dainty? Diaper on means that wearer will mess at any time. Any diaper clad child sitting on a table has the potential to leak at any minute.
I don’t know if it’s an epidemic, but I don’t want to eat at a table that they have been sitting on either.
Do you follow him around to all threads to repeat your stupidity?
There is a big difference between wanting a sterile bubble, and being expected to eat at a place where a diapered individual has been sitting on the table.
Any possibility is too many. Not all diapers are well fitting. Not all parents bother to change a child soon after the diaper is dirtied. You know - some parents think it’s ok for their kid to pee in a bag in the middle of a grocery store…
Well, there it is folks. I don’t think people should smear shit on restaurant tables, so I’m un-american. And it only took a half-dozen posts to get there. I’d find a saner discussion on a board of Scientologist Glenn Beck fans.
Look, this is the bottom line: if you really think that a clean baby, wearing clean clothes over a clean diaper is at risk to suddenly explode and leak waste of any kind on any thing, then you are a complete tard and should be staying home to spare everyone else from your hyper-dainty obsessive compulsive tardness.
So to speak
I don’t care about clean babies. I saw people defending changing diapers on tables on this discussion. That’s what I was reacting to.
I always wondered why some people treated the “paper or plastic” question so seriously.
Now I know.
Name one person who has defended it.
There is not a high probability of A leading to B, as you will find out soon enough.
Actually I would have sat my kid on the table at home if the need arose. The only thing that would stop me would be if I weren’t there to stop her from falling.
I have sat on the table at home (also stood on it when the need arose).
When I was young, it wasn’t uncommon to bathe a baby in the kitchen sink.
Nobody I know has died from this yet.
You came off as defending it because somebody described it and you said “so what,” followed by a bunch on blathering about how public health departments don’t care that much. I actually mistook this thread to be about it, because about 9/10 of the post are about it. You would have done a lot of good to the thread by not derailing it with faux expertise about what public health agencies do, even with your extensive work in a completely different industry.
I don’t really care about babies in clean diapers sitting on tables. Actually teenagers would bother me more. They’re old enough to know how to use furniture. And babies are less likely to have crabs.
Also, how are flip flops any more sanitary than bare feet?
A = changing a diaper.
Since we’re having a boy, you can bet that if B is broadened a bit, there would be some on the table.
