It's not illegal immigration if they're granted asylum. Therefore if you take issue with those granted asylum then your issue isn't just with illegal ...

No, I'm pretty sure you have to also show that you're in danger if you return home. You can't just claim asylum and that be the end of it. Also, your ...

Pretty sure there won't be herd immunity until there's a vaccine. And in the case of coronavirus 29–74% of the population need to be immunised.

@"Shawn" what kind of hydroxychloroquine did you buy? According to this, the medicine requires a prescription, but the way you phrased it suggests tha...

Doubt all you like. Your accusations are fake news.

I don't know what he bought. And this seems like deflection. My posting the article had nothing to do with Trump.

I posted it in response to Shawn saying that he bought some, asking him to be careful. Neither the comment I was replying to nor my comment mentioned ...

How do they know if a test is a false positive? Wouldn't they need some other, better, test to show that it's positive? Given that some people are asy...

Who is that debt owed to?

My friend tested me on that a couple of weeks ago: Out of 20,338 people tested in Britain for covid-19 164 people have the disease. The test itself is...

She hasn't been tested as apparently they only test people if you know you've been in contact with someone who's tested positive. But she's an ex-nurs...

He would say that. Look at his hair. Clearly a liberal hippy with an agenda.

All the UK's nightclubs, theatres, cinemas, gyms and leisure centres have also been told to close "as soon as they reasonably can". I just signed up t...

He called the State Department the Deep State Department.

Social distancing may be needed for ‘most of year’ :confused:

Well, technically they do (as that's how there is a currency at all). The government can create all the money we need: an explanation Although I belie...

No they don't. They are well aware that the money comes from taxation. They want to fund this by increasing the tax on businesses and the wealthy (e.g...

Photos of Trump's prepared remarks for Thursday's White House briefing show he altered 'Corona Virus' to 'Chinese Virus' Why is he doing this?

Time to invest.

It's not just about the 1-3% who die from the disease. There are those who don't die but require hospitalization or other medical treatment. It's an a...

I don't know how people do it. I'm desperate to go out. Not gonna meet anyone if I'm stuck inside for weeks/months. :confused:

Any bets on what the word of the year will be this year? I’m guessing either self-isolation or social distancing.

I did that here which was the comment you responded to.

You seem to have a hard time understanding what I'm saying. There was a news article from a German paper that referred to an unnamed source. A spokesw...
