Because "pink" parking spots are not a government idea. They are the brainchild of some politically correct mall owner and they idea has spread like a disease.

Id like to thank that person for always having a spot reserved for me.

I think its offensive to women to declare something that is a natural function for them to be called a disability. Whats more i think its outrageous that we are teaching little kids to be lazy by allowing them to always park near the entrance. My mom had no problem dragging us a few extra feet through the parking lot. Why should it be different now?

What are you complaining about ? See a pink spot free, just park there and say the wife's at the hair dresser or something ...

I voted "YES", just cause i don't have a car, and even if i did -- i don
't have a problem with giving a pregnant women the closer parking spot. It's called being a gentleman...

It isn't necessarily for parents with kids, it's more set for women who are expecting. The last stages of pregnancy can be EXTREMELY uncomfortable and massively straining on the body. I think it's a nice thing for women who are pregnant to not have to walk more than they need to.

Even if it weren't for expecting mothers, but for parents with small children, I think it isn't so much of having to drag their kids a long way, but more like having to carry a million things (like groceries) as well as possibly a baby carrier, and some little ones hands. I certainly wouldn't want my child walking through a busy parking lot without him/her being latched to me. Being a parent is stressful and much more difficult in these times where often both parents are working, and kids can't be left at home.

Jeez, give these people a break, they are the mother's and father's of our children now, and our leaders later. Do we really want to be making the lives of people raising our kids more stressed and irate?

What is wrong with helping others out? My gawd people, if a man were able to get pregnant, I would still be up for the idea. It's all about making others lives easier, and not always only thinking about yourself.

agreed which is why at that stage women should be resting at home.

How on earth have half a dozen generations survived up to this point without designated parking spots for kids? The horror!

Everything is stressful. They should have "bad hair day" parking as well.

if walking an extra 20 feet is that stressful to someone then hope is already lost.

Here is a way to help pregnant women: Make it so they dont have to worry about parking and do her chores for her. Be a good father!

As she shouldnt have....

My mother thinks the idea is stupid.

"if you cant control your kids in the parking lot then you cant control them in the mall either"

Hey, what happened to Mr. Freedom from Government Shackles? Why is it suddenly ok for YOU to tell people what they should be doing?

So single expecting mothers are suddenly not allowed to go to the mall? or the grocery store?

Grow up. Stop bitching and whining and park 10 feet further away.

People can do whatever the hell they want but if they are so "disabled" by pregnancy that they need a closer spot then they should be resting at home for their own health.

So for the whole last tri-mester a single pregnant woman should just be bed-riddan, unable to get groceries, hygenic products, entertainment, clothes? I'm sorry but that is just plain stupidity.

Not at all but she shouldnt expect preferential parking if shes going to be parading around the mall either.

Sorry but in the grand scheme of things saving her 20 or 30 feet when she has to walk 1000s isnt feasable.

Its a BS public relations scheme and nothing more.

The reason i care is because where does it end?

I had a disabled brother and our family even agrees that there are way too many handicapped spots at some places now.

You see the parking lot rammed and 10 handicapped spots at the front are empty.

I really don't see how that is a good counter-argument...

Um i think someone who cant walk for 21 years is a little more worthy of a parking spot then a pregnant woman.

Hey... Assholes... Here's what I say...

I think those pretty lil pink spaces should be CLOSER to the building than they already are... I think they should be right at the fucking front door... Here's why...

Have any of you ******s been with a pregnant woman... I guess no... I've been in a serious relationship with two... They are always complaining about being so uncomfortable and in pain and crampy... imagine the worst period your girl has had and multiple how much she complains and whines by about 150 fucking times... thats the kind of uncomfort they are in... You know how much she pisses you off while shes just on her rag... well just imagine what i was going through...

Those spots are the best fucking idea yet... and no not all pregnant women use them... i think a decent human being can decide whether they really are in need of using a closer spot... Especially when there are women who need it more...

Stop being such selfish bastards... AND JUST GET BENT!!!


Posted by Jayx1 on Feb-06-2005 00:02:

^^^^

what about old people? they are cranky and crampy all year round!

Next up, elderly parking where the fire route used to be. I can see it now.
