I think reality is circumstance. I think reality is nature. It brings to mind an Emerson quote, emphasis added: "Here we find sanctity which shames ou...
Well, there's that too. LOL! I've no doubt that the plutocracy has the best and brightest advising them on when to move and on what to move. While the...
And to work out arguments. I don't think anyone is going to change anyone's mind here. But it's better to engage and work out anticipatory argument in...
I agree. But it is rational to trust the rational, and to distrust the irrational. Just because one lacks the skill sets to be among the rational, doe...
:100: I used to be a two-party hater. I even wrote myself in because I could not stomach either side. But now there is a distinction with a relevant d...
It will be your problem if you or a loved one need a bed. I donated mine by getting a vax. I don't prefer either, but there is one I can do something ...
And main stream media whores giving him free air time just because he know how to play them like a bitch. P.S. Liz Cheney: more conservative than the ...
That brings up a question I've had for some time. Maybe you can answer it. For a while there, the overwhelming majority of people knocking on the U.S....
Hence my desire to throw caution to the wind. They did. Let 'er rip! You know, like Covid. For someone who doesn't give a fuck you sure seem worried a...
Tell that to the folks who lost loved ones who could not access a bed. I'd argue that, but then it was followed by this: And that explains it. I know,...
I think Little Mitchy and his owners saw the Trump Administration (plus Republican legislature and courts) as their last big opportunity to loot Ameri...
That reminds me, as a "troubled youth" I went to Job Corps CCC, got a trade as a welder and a GED. I learned how to fight and how to work with others....
Too late. I say throw caution to the wind. Debt shmedt. Or, as we used to say, fuck around fuck around soon you won't be around. Republicans can go su...
:100: If only the virus would stick to those who don't believe in it. I guess war is never like that. Collateral damage is the old and the weak. Back ...
:100: At the beginning of this, with mask "mandates" I would see many unmasked at the grocery store, notwithstanding signs and audio messages. I thoug...
There is no need to do that, so long as we have "No shoes, no shirts, no service" for the vax. But we haven't even arrived there yet. We're still tryi...
Yes, only asking. Not commanding . . . . yet. It's like a mother pleading with her child to get in the back seat and put on the seat belt. You might t...
As I've explained all along, my truck with them is political. I don't see their issue as fear or suspicion or lack of trust. They won't vax because th...
Okay, okay, I spent like two nano seconds googling for an article that reflected something I heard recently about damage to babies brains and I grabbe...
Yeah, and what are the odds we have a person right here on TPF who personally knows someone who died from the vax. Under threat of job loss, no less. ...
I'm not sure what it's called, but I'd just like to see Liz Warren call them out and say "You want capitalism? You couldn't handle capitalism!" The co...
I would agree in so far as "capitalism" is defined as the abomination we currently live under (which includes socialization of costs while privatizing...
First of all, I think you are a fucking liar. But even if you lost your friend to the vax, she wasn't forced to take it. She could have and should hav...
The President isn't an immunologist either. I'll abide the CDC and my own doctor. You, however, are an obedient little lemming for Alex Jones and Tuck...
Yeah, I mean here I am, arguing with a fucking moron named "frank" so it could very well be. Here's an article about the plastics found in the franks ...
If it were a king, he might not ask. Hell, you can even dislike elected officials relying on experts but at least they are just asking politely. Actua...
My doctor. And the experts say wait (I had the J&J). It is, but you're the menace to intelligence. Not as many as you. No, but I am humble enough to k...
Depends on if we care for our children. I think there was a recent article about how this is all fucking with their brains. I'd look it up, but I'm to...
I think morals and ethics can be instinctual, just like love. The only reason we think about it and animals don't (?) is because we are not as comfort...
Yes. If they detect a little stirring that could manifest into a credible threat, they just crack open the spigot a little bit, give us a drink, toss ...
:cheer: Flippancy is just one step shy of the nest step, which is "looking at the bright side." It's part of the default playbook. I saw it in logging...
Part of the problem is that taking responsibility can work at cross-purposes to your goal. If I save a gallon of gas, I increase the supply, which low...
The PHI is accountable to no one. We might think that government could/should hold the PHI accountable, but government is a fully owned and operated s...
I think Bill Gates is chump change compared to the largest, richest most powerful industry the world has ever known: Petroleum Hydrocarbons (oil). He'...
:100: Awesome. Words matter. If you say "we can and they can't" it has a whole 'nothing meaning than to say "we must and they don't have to." It would...
If you can't tell the difference between truth and a lie, what is it? Is it dependent upon perception, and if so, who's? Are we to respect the percept...
The hell they don't. They interfere with my personal freedom and, like helmets, they are more inclined to leave you a vegetable than dead. But never m...
That's all the vax is; a seat belt. And guess what? Seat belts, like helmets, aren't solely mandated because society cares about you. It's also to kee...
Do you wear a seat belt? You just owned yourself. If it's not a war and not a threat, then it would be easy to be brave against such a meager threat. ...
