yo mama Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Costa Rica doesn't worry me. Panama is another story.Why am I thinking mosquitoes, Malaria? My daughter refuses to take the shots that are recc'd! She needs to take the meds. Getting sick in rural Central America is about as ill-advised as having unprotected sex in sub-Saharan Africa. The Mrs. caught typhoid in rural Mexico several years back. It was ugly. Make her follow the CDC's precautions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But she is an intelligent women who's life I have no control over anymore. And maybe I'm trying to alert those of you who will be in a similar situation in the years to come. I bless her on her decisions. It's her life, and I have to live w/ that. Just want my baby to be safe. Name calling will not make it better. rr26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiegie Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Thank you for your passive comment. Dumbass??? No comment.Fact is many of the preventatives have worse symptoms than the assumed disease. I expected more from you. I am disappointed. wait a minute, here. One post ago you (at least seemed) to be annoyed that your daughter isn't going to get the recommended shots. But now that I said she was a dumbass if she didn't get the shots, you come here to tell me that the preventive medicine could be worse than the disease itself. So then why the hell were you complaining about her not getting the shots in the first place. A very good friend of mine is currently living in Nigeria and he caught malaria last year and it messed him up badly for well more than a month. Don't get pissed at me for bluntly saying that your daughter should take the preventative medicine--I used the word "dumbass" specifically so that you could use it as ammunition against her when she tries to explain why she doesn't want to take the preventative medicine.

So name calling is OK if it is justified by intent? I don't think so. Especially when that person can't defend herself. When was the last time you called someone a name and you got a positive response? Complaining...no. Concerned...yes. Sorry for not making that clearer. The whole intent of the post is about my wife and I being concerned and that "controlling" her is impossible, but convincing her w/ the comments here is the correct tactic.

I didn't say that she was a dumbass, I said that she would be a dumbass if she didn't take the medicine. If you choose to interpret that as me insulting your daughter, that is your perogative, but is not how I meant it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Country Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I believe the "would" is implied by the "if" portion of the statement. It's not like he said "Your daughter is a dumbass. End comment." He was using the word dumbass for demonstrative effect about the importance of prevention. You know, an ounce of prevention beats a pound of cure. (Making assumptions here, but knowing these guys for a while, I'm guessing, especially based on the posts in this thread, rockn is a bit on edge about this and really read way too much into wiegie's comments. I know wiegie would never purposefully insult someone's daughter) So, kiss and make up fellas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scourge Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Hi RR.. I'm not trying to get in the middle of anything else around here. My own opinion is that your daughter is 30+ years old. She has done this type of thing before. You are over reacting. I understand it is natural to worry no matter the age of your kids but she is quite old enough to make her own decisions in life. Especially if she has excelled in any endeavor she has taken on as you say. I have never traveled the world myself so I could not advise on anything regarding this specific topic. But I do know that I had to tell my over-bearing parents to get a grip when I was at an age that was much younger than your daughter. Let her live her life and guide her when she asks for you help.

Here is my original comment again: Your daughter is a dumbass if she doesn't take the shots. Extra-Megan Foxy or not, I am actually literally shocked that RR would think that I just up and called his daughter a dumbass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[stirsthepot]But since RR had already said his daughter is not taking the shots, you are technically calling his daughter a dumbass since the facts were already at hand.[/stirsthepot] Edited March 19, 2009 by Hugh 0ne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
