Wouldn't the bubble take away all the fun in life for you and the anti-allergen move take away all the fun in life for everyone else?

Why would you think that? Could it be fun to live in a bubble?

Have you seen the movie Bubble Boy? I didn't think it looked very fun living in that bubble, did you?

But would it really feel like you were living in a bubble if you had access to such stimulating internet discussion forums as these?

Wouldn't be more fun to live in the biosphere than a bubble?
I am a poor, wayfaring stranger
Wandering through this world of woe
But there's no sickness, no fear or danger
In that bright land

Would you be allergic to anything in the biosphere?

Does no-one have any anti-allergents?

Would it help if everything in the biosphere was purified?

If you purified the biosphere, would you take away my chance for complaints?

Don't most people complain "just because they can"?

Do you need a set of earplugs to take with on your journey, so you can whine without hearing them whine?

If someone was wearing earplugs to a complain fest, wouldn't it just give the other complainers something elso to complain about?

No, there would be too many stomach complaints, couldn't you just use smurfs for that extra zing?
