You guys realize Tumblr is mostly misguided teenagers / 20-somethings who haven't matured? I think we should take pity on them. They'll hopefully grow out of it once life takes a poo poo down their throats.

Instead of doing that, let's laugh at some rear end in a top hat giving their child several horrible toxins to cure them of a mystery illness!

The problem with "they're just harmless teens being teens!" is that if nobody corrects them on their bullshit, they'll just keep believing it.

Alternative answer: so what if they're harmless teens being teens? They're still fun to laugh at. The alleged fact that their toxicity doesn't extend beyond the Internet gives us even more reason to safely laugh at their dumb antics. We make fun of moms loving over their children's lives over an autism scare, why not this?

I love how the possibility that her nonsense beliefs are bullshit doesn't get questioned. Maybe the homeopathic treatment isn't strong (which actually means diluted) enough. They should have their bloody kids taken away from them.

Well, thank God she's taking her kid in for a potentially multi-thousand-dollar ER visit instead of giving them a few cents worth of acetaminophen.

(spoiler alert: the kid's probably going to get the medicine from the hospital anyway.)

It's cool to laugh about and all, because tumblr's understand of social issues is hilarious. Let's just not pretend we're teaching anyone valuable life lessons by mocking them from afar.

Yeah, it's loving nuts, especially given how many new parents I've seen go the opposite direction, convinced their child has a nasty case of ebola the moment they sneeze. You've gotta know they've got some naturalist "expert" who sold them some baby care kit for an exorbitant fee, too.

I just hope it's actually homeopathic poo poo, so at worst that kid just got hydrated and had a fever for way longer than is appropriate.

Has Obama ever uttered the words, "Yes, I can" in a phrase that wasn't followed by, "pick up pizza on my way home." He's says enough stupid poo poo. Do we really need to make up new catchphrases for him to say.

Milk molecules.

Giving that book back to the person who lent it to me with a straight face was a hell of an accomplishment.

I have one acquaintance who will gently caress pretty much anything that moves. He fucks women that he picks up from bars or work. He fucks men he finds on Craigslist. He got married (an entire crazy story by itself), and did try to be faithful, but it was only a matter of time before he was back to three-waying couples he found online. It's amazing how many women he says he won't gently caress because they are "sluts."

Everybody has his or her own criteria for what a "slut" is, whether or not anyone wants to admit to thinking that way. For some people, it's as simple as, "Wants to have recreational sex without paying for it with a lifetime commitment." For some reason, those people seem very willing to not only say it out loud, but to try and force the sluts to conform to their personal ideas about sexual morality.

Edit: This acquaintance is, of course, a self-proclaimed "extreme" right-winger and Christian, who has Bible verses tattooed on his body.
