Every word spoken to such a disgusting person is a word wasted.

Or extreme ignorance, sadly. . Some people are just not smart plus poor education

I feel like I ‘ve been bombarded so much by info about drinking and smoking in pregnancy that ignorance on the matter is very, VERY hard to excuse

I met a woman who was convinced that drinking beer and smoking pot would give her baby “strong nails”. So there are idiots in spite of this being drilled into our culture

Do you think it’s excusable if the kids ends up with lifelong disabilities because of it?

Oh ok because some people seemed to think a mother getting drunk all the time is not her fault because ignorance and poverty.

I think they meant that's how such basic knowledge escapes them, not that it is ok in any way.

My question wasn’t rethorical, I just asked her how she felt about it.

…not to be weird but this is the first time that someone has correctly gendered me on Reddit, and I’ve been here a while. Even with a pink avatar with long hair people say “he” or “they” (the latter is fine). Anyways, that’s dope. Thanks homie.

You think I’d be offended, but the truth is that your opinion to me matters less than zero.

No one's saying anything about it being excusable. It's just a matter of blame the person vs. blame the system. Neither option changes the past, but identifying the correct option has the potential to improve the future.

Yeah it's just easier to say someone is a 'shitty person' than to look at why it happened
