And yes, I do know that there have been near fatal peanut allergies on airplanes. Here is a random testimonial.
Jacqui Corba, 15, had her first reaction when she was 2, even though she wasn't eating peanuts herself.
"I was on an airplane flight with my mom, and she ate peanuts and gave me a kiss on my face, I blew up like all over and I was red."
Peanuts are great. I eat them by the kilogram. Literally. And you can purchase Moldovan women for them. Literally. Peanuts are very literally my favorite legume. But some people are allergic to them in an extremely life threatening manner.
Which is why it is of the utmost import that we make merciless fun of these people and also have extremely clear labelling about peanut content and exposures; as well as offering completely peanut free options for foods and even location.
-Username17 P.S.: I'm not even kidding about the Moldovan women, that country is a hell hole.

You can barter for a girl between the ages of 13 and 17 for roughly 300 euros worth of peanuts. You can then marry that girl, or just take her with you. Call it what you like.
It's a country which has a serious problem of people falling down open manholes because the covers have been stolen for the scrap iron. It's the only place in Europe where you can get the services of prostitutes for turnips and fish.
Fvck. Well, people steal manhole covers and public lighting wiring for the scrap here, but no such women market (at least in the part of the country I know, since it's one of the biggest on the planet, unlike anything in Europe, which seems almost traversable on foot). The part where that might actually be the best for those girls (when they aren't bought by really unpleasant people) is the saddest.

That seems cheap enough that the U.N. should have a program for buying them in bulk and fostering them to first world countries or something.
It'd likely lead to the country getting even more fvcked up.

My girlfriend's construction company (she does CADD) hires Romanians more than Latinos. They keep to themselves, mostly. And I guarantee that the U.S. government doesn't know of their employment.
But as for peanuts, they don't give me gas. Ever. It's like eating rice. However, whole wheat just plain fucks me up mentally and intestinally. Each to their own poison, then.
Kissing someone is quite a bit more direct exposure than being in the same room. I suppose telling tzor that the air coming through the vents above the seats is normally recycled from the cabin wouldn't encourage him to fly again.
But seriously, people are trying to ban products from coming onto the market which have had far less incidents than peanuts. The bar is set insanely high.
cthulhu at [unixtime wrote:1202260782[/unixtime]]yeah but those that air recycling system has some really serious air filters in it.
That'd be nice, if true.
But it's not. Check the next aircraft you're on for dust where the air comes pouring out onto a surface - like the wall next to the window. It'll be covered in dust, just out of sight of someone sitting normally in a seat.
So you have a HEPA filter. Cool. Therefore I'm not entirely sure how how you classify it as not a serious air filter? You are aware that hospitals use the same system + UV treatment? But if you think thats not good enough, nor is 99.97% particles of 0.3 micrometers or greater good enough then I suppose we have to agree to disagree.
I don't agree that the filters are as good as they say they are, no.
Not that it is particularly relevant to the topic. Unless you want to make the point that I have unrealistically high standards when it comes to air scrubbing equipment.

That's true, but the air down the open throat tends to counter my feeling of nausia. That's less an alergy than a "gut" response to what I also think is an unpleansent odor.
You should have seen me eat M&M's in high school. They use peanuts in the shell by the way. Just enough to make me irritable at the time. For months I thought it was all in my head. (Instead it was in my throat and tongue.)

Hey, it's the turnip economy!
That was his probably his intent
Turnips suck.. I'd gladly trade a truck load for some Romanian kids, much like the 'living furniture' in Soylent Green. If... uh... I could do such a thing. My girlfriend would beat me if I tried, though. She's against selfishly evil acts.
When I was a child growing up we had three things for Thanksgiving; mashed potatoes (that white stuff), mashed sweet potatoes (that orange stuff) and the stuff that looked like it was a combination of the two (that was the mashed turnips).
I just mentioned the mashed trinity. I didn't mention The turkey The ham (for those who didn't like the turkey) The in bird stuffing The stove made stuffing The canned cranberry The homemade cranberry The rolls The little tiny creamed onions The string beans The carrots (Am I forgetting anyone?)
Oh yea ... dessert, but that's another four pages of stuff.
I actually made a pretty good "stuffing" with turnips one day (Stuffing as in the-stuff-you-cook-inside-poultry, not Stove Top). I don't know that mashed would be anything I'd flip over.
I've never really enjoyed the traditional Thanksgiving meal (growing up we ate Italian food, not turkey), so Ess and I decided that we'd rather cook a meal we're really grateful for - foods that we don't normally get to eat. So last year's menu request was lamb and scallops, with a really great organic green salad, green beans, a wild rice side dishy thing, and homemade mint chocolate chip ice cream for dessert.
