I have noticed it. Some are even stupid assholes. Where is Darwin when you need him?

Uh, no. You'll just end up with more big people to triage. I'll be fine.

I don't know what all the various triage scenarios are that you have cooked up in your brain. What I'm getting at is a limited number of beds CREATED ...

Get the biggest ones you want. Get as many as you want.

I don't know if irony is the word, but one of the arguments anti-vaxers use is that Covid affects mostly old people who are on their way out anyway. T...

If it was my loved one's life on the line who needed the bed, then I'd make the decision for the triager. That settles that. Some times a selfish, inc...

:up:

:100: Over the last 20 years we have spun up an operation that many people don't know about. T's are waking up in the middle of the night with their t...

I'm not sure, but if you read all the St Dept. warnings, like 15, ramping up in intensity for many months, the thing that comes to mind is the guy in ...

Four years. Four long years. Nothing. Nothing but bluster. Putin's bitch. Trump is a stain on America that . . . well, never mind. Biden got over 100,...

:up: Some are mine, but I did steal some from people on the Iron Snowflake. I provided attribution for those. :grin: Trump losers don't like us drinki...

“Sorry, I can’t hear you over the sound of THE SAME PEOPLE WHO SAID TRUMP DEFEATED ISIS demanding that we deploy more troops to Afghanistan to kill IS...

"Nothing unites the GOP like punishing a Democratic president for inheriting a war they lost." LOLGOP

I don't know how familiar you are with international agreements, but you generally lost credibility when you come in and do what Trump did with intern...

I the famous words of NOS4A2 "A would have sufficed." Watch me. I learned from the Republicans on how you can always blame the other side. All this sh...

Hell, Baker, we can settle this right now. All you have to say is: I am not a racist and I hate racism. I am not a fascist and I hate fascism. Pretty ...

I would place the burden of proof upon you but even I am not that mean. That would call upon you to go back and find the impetus for my contempt of yo...

Ask Jesus. You're on a first name basis with him, aren't you?

No, just a troll that will out-last reason/logic. You know, like you.

I can't even remember why I called you a fascist racist but I think it had something to do with your refusal to refute fascism and racism. But as to t...

It would suffice for a simple person, incapable of appreciating nuance. Just because a real man, with broad shoulders, steps up and assumes responsibi...

Same here. Although Colorado has one of those Driver's Licenses that you can get through TSA with at the airport and they have now created a process w...

:100: Yes, yes you are. Not only that, but there are unfounded assumptions about those with comorbidities (i.e. that they are the ones pushing vax); o...

I knew a man, a fellow Recon Marine, who prided himself on his brutal honesty. He said he never lied. I would have asked him if pretending to be veget...

I want mandatory vaccinations and passports for Republicans/Trumpsters and those who don't want them. Voluntary for everyone else. "When I was thinkin...

Yes For For I want mandatory vaccinations and passports for Republicans/Trumpsters and those who don't want them. Voluntary for everyone else. "When I...

:100:

Whataboutism. I thought Murica had an monopoly on that. Anyway, those posts ahead of yours did not arise in a vacuum. They were preceded then again by...

Wouldn't that be nice!

I'm not expert either, but I think Islam is not the culprit. Tribalism, mafioso, paternal BS is the problem. It's not even "nationalism" exactly, alth...

No, I mean like you. Like this: https://chrismaleyblog.files.wordpress.com/2021/05/devils-advocate-white-guy-3.jpg

Right now I'm engaging with a passive aggressive, fascist racist, namely you. https://chrismaleyblog.files.wordpress.com/2021/05/devils-advocate-white...

Here's you, baker, being the passive aggressive fascists racist that you are: https://chrismaleyblog.files.wordpress.com/2021/05/devils-advocate-white...

Yes and no. But regardless, the distinction lies in the dependency/mobility, not crying. :100:

So do fawns (mule deer), calves (elk and bison), pups (coyote and wolf) kits (cougar and beaver) and cubs (bear). I admit that the baby birds that I a...

I wonder if that is true, or if it's a more recent (10k - 13k years) thing. I'm not talking about various cultural methods of dealing with crying, but...

You are grasping at straws. Here's the problem: You are sitting on the camel's back as you grasp at them. The health care system, or the individual, c...

:halo:

:wink:

In my opinion, the answer to all those questions is no. I have thoughts on that, expressed before, and don't want to get into that right now because I...

If there is one thing that pisses people off, it's reason. :lol:

Regarding the "and such" I was thinking about one of the little admonitions against suicide: "It doesn't make the pain go away; it just transfers it t...

Whether a statement is a lie, is not determined by time or the objective truth of the matter asserted. It's a lie if the declarant thought it was a li...

True. I forgot that when you step out of line in the U.S. you don't really get hurt the way you might in China.

I'm not saying legal reasoning should control here, but, to the extent it tracks logic, it might throw some light. We generally have burden's of proof...

I certainly hope you are correct. The problem, as I see it, is the guy who put it up probably earned some cred in the eyes of a few in Beijing who agr...

As one wag said, "We're the only complex, non-servo computing mechanism created by totally unskilled labor." Anyway, all who have, or have had choice,...

:up: It's an opportunity for the Taliban to show they are capable of adulting. Hopefully we weren't the only ones to learn a lesson. They suffered WAY...

:up: While you are at it, ask yourself, if true, how best to go about convincing others to not get it. You know, without turning them off to it. And w...

I think the gut knows that the growth model is not sustainable, and the ability to keep bailing ourselves out is losing steam. When I say the "gut", I...
