It's that simple, folks. If you have asthma and you live in Los Angeles, you should just move. It's a simple choice to make and stuff!
At least, that's what marinerjack, a poster at cnn.com, thinks.

RTS- what risks are we "exposing ourselves to". Because I personally dont willfully expose myself to anything risky to my health. Dont smoke, I drink organic dairy, meat, fruits, vegetables. I live in a part of the country where we have very clean air. The only risks that you're exposing yourself to is due to your own choices. If one lives in LA where asthma is prevalent, you can move. Its a matter of choice.[1]
Now here's a special snowflake! This is a guy that can afford to eat organic stuff (it's not cheap), and thinks everybody else should, too!
This entire thing wreaks of hardcore classism. This idiot can afford to eat all organic crap and lives somewhere with clean air - which I'm gonna guess that's probably somewhere that costs a bit of money to live. And, on top of that, they say it's a choice to expose yourself to stuff! Totally a choice!
But that's not at all reasonable. Can people born in LA who live paycheck-to-paycheck really afford to just... Move? No, of course they fucking can't. To think that is absurd. The answer isn't that people should move from places - those places should seek improvement.[2]
Just as people who don't have a lot of money and get stuck with dirty water shouldn't just move - because they can't. They should seek a way to improve where they already live.
I take issue with anybody that thinks you can just up and "move" if your environment isn't clean. It's not an issue of choice for most people in Los Angeles. And if this guy thinks it is, he is a clear danger to not only himself, but to society. I wish I could remember the number to Sheppard Pratt...
Marinerjack, please go drown at sea.
1. It's hard to actually link to CNN.com's comments section, so here is a screen cap.
2. It reminds me of this time this dude posted about how much he hated WalMart and how he hated anybody that shopped there. I asked him why he would hate people for having no choice (as some areas of the country have nothing but a WalMart), and he said "Well, in that case, they should just move!" Yep, seriously... People actually believe that shit!
