I'm about as concerned with your characterization of me as I am of the virus. I'm fearful instead of your characterization of yourself and the threat ...

I think you are wrong. I'm no fan of Trump but when he said he was a war-time President in a war against an invisible enemy, I think he had a point. A...

I spent some time last night thinking about our exchange and how I might better explain my feelings to someone who apparently has no sense of civics a...

Thank you elk, for humbling me.
September 26, 2021 at 13:34
I once did a back-of-the-napkin analysis and came up with 250-500k. I figured that at our current rate of consumption, as an apex predator, and based ...

If only we could figure out a way to make them think it was their idea. Maybe bury it the bowels of a Qanon web site, along with Ivermectin and other ...

I think it would all depend on who's asking them to take it.
September 26, 2021 at 02:57
:sad:
September 26, 2021 at 02:55
:up: Sounds like the old saying "He who rides the tiger cannot dismount." I guess we aren't all that intelligent and wise or we'd be able to have the ...
September 26, 2021 at 02:25
No, but when asked to do so, I will. And you are a disrespectful, inconsiderate, selfish person. I have reduced this to the shorthand of POS. Carry on...
September 26, 2021 at 01:46
If we accept that we had to do what we did to get that which have which we like, does that mean we have to keep doing it to keep it? It would seem to ...
September 26, 2021 at 01:42
Doesn't have to be "required." It's a matter of course. I had a flu test in November of 19 (negative) just because I was under the weather. Dr.s do it...
September 26, 2021 at 01:13
No, this was before they had Covid tests but they have had flu tests for a long time. You stand corrected. They stopped both. Imagine how bad it would...
September 26, 2021 at 00:14
No, because I also distanced and masked. Did you see what happened to flu numbers because of distancing and masking? Remember when this all started an...
September 26, 2021 at 00:04
They are now that you and your ilk are killing them.
September 25, 2021 at 23:58
This guy sums it up. It's not about the virus or the shot. https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/243141443_1238720856632952_7175179074061...
September 25, 2021 at 23:52
Then why don't we just give Covid to everyone? You know, kill off the weak. Did you ever think it might not be about those who survive it?
September 25, 2021 at 23:47
I stand by all of that. You said you were afraid of the shot. It's you that said you are afraid, not me. I got the shot. I got it for people, because ...
September 25, 2021 at 23:37
Sure there is. You can admit you don't fear the virus or the shot. You aren't smart enough to know better than the CDC, et al. You just don't like the...
September 25, 2021 at 23:24
I said if YOU had fear you'd get the shot. Reading comprehension is not your strong suit, is it? You said you had fear but won't get the shot. I didn'...
September 25, 2021 at 23:01
You're not seeing fear from those of my persuasion. You're seeing push-back against the inconsiderate, disrespectful, selfish BS of those of your pers...
September 25, 2021 at 22:53
I don't believe you. No one is that stupid.
September 25, 2021 at 22:39
No, again, didn't you read what I wrote? You are a POS because of your politics. You aren't afraid of the vaccine, or Covid, or needles. You just don'...
September 25, 2021 at 22:33
We can agree that you are sorry. As to the rest: "The findings highlight an advantage bestowed by natural infection rather than vaccination, but the a...
September 25, 2021 at 22:31
Nope. I want to quash your will because you are a POS. Not because I'm afraid of a virus. You went back and looked through my posts so you obviously s...
September 25, 2021 at 22:27
Better check with your doctor. Antibodies from infection don't last. I would ask you, but you're not an expert and don't know what you are talking abo...
September 25, 2021 at 22:24
I'm not afraid of the virus and my language is not evidence of fear. What is fearful about this: "I want to trade your will to spread your nasty, filt...
September 25, 2021 at 22:22
Your best is to get the free shot. But if we lost the war, it's due to the incubation of non-vaxxed, non-distanced, non-masked folks; not vaxxed folks...
September 25, 2021 at 22:11
Yes, I deny it, for me. I am concerned for others, but more from a civic duty standpoint. I'm no big fan of humanity in general, but this is not the h...
September 25, 2021 at 22:09
No. I know many who got the shot for others, even with the alleged risk. I think it's an old school thing that many folks today just wouldn't understa...
September 25, 2021 at 22:03
I think we already lost, thanks to the likes of you.
September 25, 2021 at 21:59
It's either that or spit on the troops and aid and abet the virus.
September 25, 2021 at 21:54
Force by cancel culture consequences, ostracization. Don't want to play! Stay home. https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/242395229_12339...

September 25, 2021 at 21:35
I didn't want to either. But I considered it my civic duty. Oh, and I'm not afraid of needles. Here's your tens of millions: https://scontent-dfw5-1.x...
September 25, 2021 at 21:24
He reminds me of me when I was young. LOL! I want all the benefits of society but I don't want to contribute and you can't make me.
September 25, 2021 at 21:16
:lol: That reminds me, when I was a kid they said we'd all be buzzing around in our jet packs by now. WTF? I feel ripped off by history.
September 25, 2021 at 19:35
That's why no one listens to you for guidance. Oops! Beat me to it. :grin:
September 25, 2021 at 19:27
It's too early to tell. It's only been about 12k years or so. That won't make for a verdict. Side note digression: I always loved looking at Nat Geo b...
September 25, 2021 at 19:25
No doubt. That's why cities are so awesome.
September 25, 2021 at 19:11
Yep. Good thing we didn't have the top reason for vaccine hesitancy back then (politics).
September 25, 2021 at 19:04
They were fine until the neighbors moved in. Now they fare as well as their prey base. Not so good. What, with all the clear cutting, strip mining, ov...
September 25, 2021 at 18:54
:100: I've always felt that wise cannot complain about stupid. So I am admittedly very unwise, even demonstrating my stupidity by engagement with thos...
September 25, 2021 at 18:52
That's because you can't keep your foolish eyes on the ball. You said: I simply corrected your error in reasoning by showing you the real reason for v...
September 25, 2021 at 18:35
They're not. Twas you that painted pharma with a single brush.
September 25, 2021 at 17:09
When they go low, we tie our hands behind our backs.
September 25, 2021 at 16:26
That is not true. If it were, then people would not take pharmaceuticals. But, as a gargantuan industry, that is clearly not the case. People love pha...
September 25, 2021 at 16:24
Yeah, we were treated to her walking resolutely across a grassy hill top with her breasts and figure prominently displayed. Kind of like Sarah Palin. ...
September 25, 2021 at 15:33
That is true. However, I think there is an "on balance" argument. Or a "generally speaking" argument. This would incline me toward women since they re...
