That's in Italy, numb-nuts.  Show me a completed box from the company they're talking about in the original story that has all of these features.  What I am specifically interested in seeing is an air conditioning unit small enough to make this a reality so that a kid stuffed into one of these when it's 100 degrees outside doesn't cook before anyone gets to it.

It is not like they are going to spend the weekend in there.  They are going to be picked up in a matter of minutes.  The alarm sends the signal, to a person who is capable of getting there immediately.  They are not going to stop at McDonalds first.

Why are you being so argumentative over this?  Do you feel obligated to argue against anything that is not a liberals idea?

How do you know it isn't "a liberals idea?"

Your right it may very well be.  I am making an assumption, just for kicks and giggles.  This is now becoming an issue because of a Christian Pastor has recently made a movie about it.

My point is, why is Ex even arguing this?  Just because?  I don't see a down side to this.  At least I haven't yet.  It seems like something that liberals and conservatives should embrace.

Just askin....

He's assuming a conservative came up with it because it's such a stupid fucking idea.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Why do you think it is a stupid fucking idea?  I am being serious.  I want to know your reason.  I'm still kind of on the fence on this, I have my opinion, but I'm still listening.

I see you couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation of how these boxes would provide the "cooling capacity" so now you're back to assuming that everything will go right every single time one of these is used and that no infant will ever die in one should that not happen.  Without cooling in the summer, these boxes will be sweltering and many newborns, especially those who are unhealthy, do not have the capacity to regulate their body temperature.  They can actually die in a matter of minutes.

If these are ever put into practice, I will be back saying I told you so when the first baby dies in one.

QuoteWhy are you being so argumentative over this?

I'm argumentative over this because it's a stupid idea.  As I stated in my original post, even stupider than drop boxes for animals and if you can't figure out why they're stupid, feel free to call and ask Maleah Stringer.  I'm sure she can explain it in terms that even you can understand.

Okay, I understand if these things are set up to not be attended too within a mater of minutes.  I wouldn't think having an AC unit attached or a thermostat on it is something that couldn't be done or hasn't already been done.  But the fact is, they are set up to hold a baby for a few minutes not hours.  If someone cannot be there with a five minute time, then it probably IS a bad idea.  I don't think that is the case though.

This is the part of this that concerns me.

It looks like a refrigerator or freezer to me! I have serious concerns about what if the alarms don't work or an eletric outage. I don't have much knowledge about incubators except when we had ducks and that was a very long time ago!
