On the Other Hand, you are an idiot. Why do you continue to post replies full of nothing but stupidity?

I'm not quite sure what I wrote to warrant that response.
I honestly did not understand your OP, and I was asking for clarification. Sorry if you took my slightly humourous tone in the wrong spirit, but I really wasn't trying to insult you in any serious way. The two possible interpretations that I laid out, absurd though they might have sounded, were really the only ones I could think of, prior to Zed's explanation. And for the record, I did not just "skim and reply", as you seem to think, but did in fact read the post several times before writing my question.
If a momentary lapse in reading skills warrants calling someone an "idiot" in your books, then I really don't know what to say. |
This is not the first time you have replied to my posts with silly crap. Well maybe I overreacted. It sure seemed to be mocking me when I read it. |

Carrying your baby on your back seems perfectly natural to me, I grew up in africa where that is the way its always done.
I agree with bargeing people who stop dead immediately in front of you for no apparent reason though. Just stop caring and walk through them. get plenty of bad looks but it feels better than constantly dawdling for the sake of people taking up the entire walkway.
This sort of blocking behavior adds half an hour extra to an average journey. |
Yes, but the whole point of this post was that people carrying babies are reckless with their child's life.
I think carrying a baby, man or woman, is natural.
Too many times has a person carrying their baby barged right into me. I wonder if they don't even realize the danger.
I had a baby stroller (with a bay in it) almost under my feet one time because the mother was too busy pushing her way through a department store, trying to get the best deals. It could easily cause a serious injury or death. Probably has before, but I never heard about it. |

| I think that this issue has been raised more than once, but the baby on the back is where it all begins. It can't see where it's going, it doesn't matter because it's going to get where it's going anyway, and when it finally dismounts and starts making its own way around, the same attitude prevails. Elevator? No problem. I'll leap in before the (unseen) occupants get out. Subway? The same. Doorway? I'll block it up because I see no one. |
