Of course… all those kids dying from allergic reactions and anaphylactic shock are just faking it.
I’ve already posted the cite five times.
How did it change so quickly, then?
Behind a paywall. How convenient.
When it comes to being full of shit you’re a regular Renaissance Man, aren’t you? :smack:
There is no paywall.
You know, this guy is making me miss Aldebaran.
Do you want to attempt to answer the actual question, or is cyberbullying the best you can manage?
Parents who had/have kids with food allergies wouldn’t allow them to trick or treat. People like the lady in the article have taken it upon herself to offer items where ALL kids are able to visit.
I clicked the link, opened just fine, no prob. Wasn’t that impressed with it, mind, but I could read it just fine.
And the custom hereabouts is for someone to say “Welcome to the Boards”, so somebody should do that.
Well, I’m not a doctor, but googling “why have food allergies increased” led me to the UCLA health website: http://fooddrugallergy.ucla.edu/body.cfm?id=40
Also, the links you posted were behind a paywall for me too. Not sure why you’ve chosen that particular hill to die on, but your long term reputation is suffering with every stupid post you make denying it.
You were shown a screen shot of the paywall, liar.
it’s actually a fascinating question, and a lot of fun to explore. Maybe you could open a new thread and get your answers.
That is, if you’re actually interested in learning.
Then why not be honest about it? Why does Coburn have to dress up every claim in lie after lie after lie? Surely if his arguments stand on their own merit, he wouldn’t have to? I mean, christ, is there a single fact on that list you can point to that isn’t in some way misrepresented? One fact you can stand by? Because so far, every single one you’ve pointed to has been torn the fuck to shreds. I mean, if Coburn’s going to throw his net as wide as studies performed by NCCAM, he can’t possibly need to try that hard. What about TACT? That’s a pretty easy target. No need to even lie about it.
(Also, on a side note: I have literally never seen such shitty, petulant behavior with regards to the paywall issue. Most of us got hit with a paywall. I have no idea why you didn’t. This paywall expands to certain articles on the website. Christ, how is this such a big fucking deal?)
Does it have to be sincere, or can it be “Welcome to the SDMB, now GTFO troll”?
Oh. no! Unh-uh! Parenting has been the single most fulfilling and rewarding experience of my life, and I wouldn’t do it again for all the whiskey in Ireland.
There is no cite.
I suppose it can be argued that Coburn is only following in the footsteps of his illustrious predecessor, Bill Proxmire.
Although to be fair, even that lying sack of shit was ten times the legislator Coburn is.
.
You sure? Really, really sure? Because in all seriousness, you can have my goddamn 13 year old right now.
And the cake is a lie.
Also, these aren’t the droids you’re looking for.
