The Return Of The Teal Pumpkins

Or - a parent can simply go thru the candy and pick put what they are allergic to afterwards.

Make that 1002 ways to make a generation spoiled rotten with "everyone is special" - you just need to find your special group.

Because I'm not a liberal, so I don't expect the entire world to bend to my issues/maladies/victimhood/whatever.

We always bought candy that was safe for our son, to swap out with the peanut candy. That was OUR responsibility, not those of our neighbors.

Conservative America

Why should I be inconvenienced by YOUR problem
Kid shows up at your door with a known peanut allergy and you say……
Fuk em, not my problem

Allergies we see at school:

Dairy
Soy
Wheat
Nut
Gluten
Red Dye

You go for it and buy all that candy for all those kids, and pretend to be Mr. Compassionate while we all see how you really are. Sure.

Conservative America - it is a parents job to protect their child with a very simple solution.

Liberal America - let's make everything complicated so we can keep the virtue signaling going and keep finding new ways to proclaim how awesome we are.

Good question.

I am a Conservative Damn It!

I don’t have to show consideration for anyone.

I am a liberal Damn it!!
I NEED to virtue signal!! I have no basis for my morality so I have to keep finding ways to show others how good of a person I am!!
Meanies!!

I don’t have to show consideration for anyone.

No one has to.

I am more inclined to show consideration to those who don't demand it.

Never take for granted the empathy, respect, or consideration of others.

Those things are earned, not compulsory.

Plus I’m sure many people (like myself until reading this thread) just don’t know that teal colored pumpkin buckets mean anything at all. I’d have unknowingly thrown some peanut butter cups in a teal bucket for sure

If anything, it seems dangerous for parents to just assume people know such an obscure factoid.

Knowing this, They’ll probably have to go through the kids candy haul anyway, so it seems kinda pointless.

Even regular trick-or-treaters have their problems.

Why does this kinda thing trigger you guys so much? Nobody is forcing you to do it, buy it, or in anyway participate in it. Why does it bother you when it isn't going to affect you in any way?

They have to be victims about something 24/7.

 

[Crepitus]

Because grown adults were yelling at non-verbal children, and their parents, for not saying "thank you" after receiving, what? A couple of jolly ranchers?

Just sad.

OH! I see!

This is one of those "I didn't get it so nobody else should either" things like the student debt relief.

Basically just garden variety conservative jealousy.

Liberal America - let's do our best to help these folks so kids don't accidentally get hurt. After all, it's the christian thing to do.

Always hilarious when a conservative talks about morality.

Liberal……Oh? You have a peanut allergy? Here is a Hershey Bar

Conservative…….Oh? You are allergic to peanuts? Have a Peanut Butter Cup……HA…..HA….HA

Again, why can't it be the parent's job to sort it all out? Why should it be the job of other people? Also if you're that worried about it don't take your child trick-or-treating. It's that simple.

My youngest Grandson has a peanut allergy. He is completely aware of the consequences, but when he sees something that he really wants he will eat it or hide it for later. Because it's just that simple. He's a kid.

Again, so other people are just supposed to cater to him?
