Come on, people. We're all in this together. Save the peanut butter sandwiches for the weekend. Would you rather that your kid's lunch kill another kid with anaphalactic shock? Imagine the kind of guilt that kid might have to deal with because their tasty sandwich was responsible for the death of one of their classmates...

I think you're missing the point here. I'm not saying we should let these people die. I'm saying they should have to deal with it by eating in a seperate area etc. There are enough of them anyways that they'll be fine.

This is so stupid a comment I hardly want to comment but I will. See my comment above. This has nothing to do with me being self centered it has to do with inconvenience hundreds if not thousands of people so one person can have their way. I'm not saying we should let them die of allergic reactions only that the onus should be on them to ensure their safety/comfort.

It's on par with using certain words for race, gender, religion etc. If it's offensive to them, then it's not something that I'll use personally. It's a respect thing where no one should be treated differently because they're different.

Right. And I'm not allowed to call black people black and crippled people crippled and I can't call a flight attendant a stewardess. Or maybe we should call manhole covers person hole covers to be PC.
Why is ######ed even offensive other than someone said it is? to me it has no other meaning than to be mentally challenged. So get off your high horse and stop comparing calling someone ######ed to calling them a n***er.
