The FAA is planning on banning peanuts because a small percentage of the population can't eat them.


I am a member of an ever decreasing percentage of the population that can't tolerate extreme stupidity.  What will they do for me?  Wipe out congress?

[NoisyDante]

Aviation Administration correct?  Most airlines already stopped serving peanuts and offer pretzels instead.

The principal of my old elementary school quit his job of 30 years because they said the kids with allergies had to be segregated in the lunch room, they had to stay at their own little 'leper' table. 

Clearly something has happened to cause a spike in allergic reactions to peanuts when there not nearly as many cases 20 years ago, but there needs to be a limit to this pussification of American.

I thought this was going to be another thread about a divorce, girlfriend or baby.





I have a good friend that almost died of a peanut allergy.

Of course he ate one, just didn't come in contact like in a plane via air.


Which raises the question...........

If you are allergic to latex and you enter an examination room that has both latex and latex free gloves.................shouldn't they ban this practice as well as it works off the same principle?


How about restaurants?


Should their be a "No Shell Fish Area?"

i actually prefer pretzels and request those on flights instead of peanuts (and i'm not allergic).

Allergies are for pussies.

Some hospitals and doctor's offices are banning latex gloves.
The maternity ward we are going to bans latex balloons because of potential allergies.

I like that term, "the pussification of America"!!! That's a good one! Can I use that term from time to time? I'll give you proper credit. Too bad it's true. Drivers are getting worse and people seem increasingly more stupid too. Is there no end in sight?

[Drjones]

Nah, they'll just put you in a re-education camp to learn how to be stupid like everyone else.

[He Man]

im allergic to clothes and the known cure is naked women.

[Popeye the Sailor]

im allergic to clothes and the known cure is naked women.

So naked women.....make you able to put clothes on?



You're doing it wrong.






I'm also for this, on the off chance my pilot is allergic to peanuts.

[He Man]

no, as in, im already naked and im allergic to women with clothes on.

I just want a medical reason to see some boobies.

if the pilot is allergic to peanuts why cant he just NOT eat peanuts? they are all pre packaged. just dont read the label that says peanut, know it, then open it, and knowling chew it and swallow it...

[somegirl]

Apparently peanut dust gets released into the air when the packages are opened, and with all the air recirculation on board a plane, everybody ends up breathing that peanut dust.  No biggie unless you are severely allergic.

Don't people that are that allergic carry an Epi pen anyways?

If they don't, well, Darwin comes to mind.

Epi pen won't always completely stop severe anaphylaxis. I've been in an OR that mistakenly had latex in it and the patient was in serious trouble. Took a lot more epi than is in an epi pen to save her.

If someone has an allergy to airborne peanut dust, then maybe they can call the airline in advance and ask for there to be no peanuts on the plane. I don't think it should be every flight....but I'd also rather be unable to eat peanuts for a flight than have to make an emergency landing for someone in anaphylactic shock.
