Comments on: R-E-S-P-E-C-T http://zombiesanddogs.org/2015/02/11/r-e-s-p-e-c-t/ "Great ideas emerges from useless fragments of thoughts.” Fri, 11 Mar 2016 22:05:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Amy http://zombiesanddogs.org/2015/02/11/r-e-s-p-e-c-t/comment-page-1/#comment-682 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 11:04:56 +0000 http://zombiesanddogs.org/?p=2601#comment-682 I admire your stance on respecting other people’s beliefs…but when it comes to anti-vaccination, it’s a little like respecting people’s right to drive drunk.

There are so many life-damaging consequences for innocent bystanders who had no input on the initial decision, such as the loss of herd immunity, the development of super-bugs, and the potential to infect (read: straight-up kill) individuals with compromised immune systems, e.g., chemo patients and HIV+ people.

However, it IS extremely distasteful the way that the BSL folks turn on each other so viciously. I can’t imagine using the “R-word” in any context, but especially when trying to make a serious point to someone I’d previously been friends with!

On a lighter note, as I said on Follies, I’m super-hoping that the DBO types keep splitting and splitting into smaller fringe subsets (maybe David Icke followers who think lizard-people are actually pitbull-people? Breatharians who believe that the only reason people can’t exist on sunlight is that pitbulls are stealing their life-essence?) until they’re just a bunch of isolated weirdos.

And maybe then each individual starts to fight with HIMSELF, and split and split…until they turn into butter, a la ‘Sam and the Tigers’?
