Time to put this thing to bed and get on with life.

#4

I literally posted this same info two weeks ago.

Then it was 4k+ hospitalizations, and 1k+ deaths for those who were vaccinated.

In fact, if I recall correctly, Snoofy doubted the numbers.

"#2 Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, the door-kicker-inners are on Team Anti-Vaxx."

I'm pretty sure most of the pipe-hitters have been vaxxed.

In that line of work vaccinations are a common occurrence.

"They traded in their Confederate flags for Back The Blue flags."

I thought the Klan didn't like black people.

But they're OK with black people...so long as they're cops?

"When he announced his Executive Order it seemed more like a campaign rally. Politics is more important than the health of school children."

The health of school children?

From what? COVID?

The Seasonal Flue is 2-3 times more deadly for those under 18 as COVID.

Do you have kids?

How often did you let them go to school without a mask?

"Another day, another failed effort by madbomber to get anyone to beleive that BLM was the same thing as 1/6."

Were BLM protesters burning Portland for 120 straight days last summer?

"MadBomber's arguments tend to boil down to sayimg its immoral for people to take others into consideration."

Not really.

Rather it's immoral for you to demand that others consider you.

"No reason to be frightened. Every reason to be respectful."

Let me rephrase.

I'm not scared to leave me house knowing that there are snakes outside.

While there is a chance that snake might bite me, resulting in death or some long term health problems, I judge the benefits gained from leaving my house as being worth the cost.

So...not much of a fan of Darwin, I take it?

Natural selection not so much a thing?

"Any sane person would be. And, like dealing with poisonous snakes, only arrogant -------- who don't respect reptiles usually get bitten."

To be fair, I've never been much scurred of the snakeses either.

"----- comment."

Most of the chicks I know would call you a -----.

Before making you go fix them a turkey pot pie.

"Or they're just self-absorbed, selfish sociopaths like you."

I'll assume that sociopath is another term for --------?

I'm good with that.

"A smooth, straight road running through the middle of nowhere Montana under a starry sky. Drive through a national park or have a drink in a small restaurant somewhere. Anywhere."

Here's True.

Everything west of the Rockies is OK. New England is OK. Hawaii is OK.

The rest of the US is an unimpressive --------.

Geography-wise, anyway.

The stores in even the most dumpster fire corner of Mississippi is still likely volumes better than what you would find in socialist Cuba.

"Interesting America really is a place with to many choices for some people."

I had two Russian professors in college. One taught Russian language, the other taught calc.

They were Jewish, so they were kinda disliked in the Socialist Republic...somewhow they found themselves in the US.

My Russian language prof said that grocery stores still freaked her out. She had no idea what brand of toothpaste to buy. In the USSR, you took what they gave you. The decision was never yours to make.

Why are progressives so against Darwinism?

In the end, it leads to a stronger species...

Some fat lady chooses not to get vaxxed and ends up with a hose down her throat?

Who'da thunk it?

"Like taking simple measures to prevent the spread of disease. Apparently doing that makes you less of a man."

Not sure what "man" has to do with it.

Demanding that other take action to make you feel better or safer...that makes you less of a human. For the simple fact that you feel you have the right to tell others that they're obligated to sacrifice on your behalf...so you don't have to.

"So I guess that's mad's schtick. He sees his position as some sort of statement about his masculinity."

Nope.

Most of the women I know hold the same position as me on COVID. Some are quite feminine. Some are quite cute.

They're just not ------ Like you.

"You seem to be pretty worried about other people who are worried about it."

Well...yeah. If policy is driven by those who worry about it, I'm affected. Effectively, I'm forced to worry about it.

I would prefer not to.

But I'm not going to stop engaging in those activities that might, in a one-off chance, result in me getting herpes or HIV.

Cancer is a given. It's just a matter of time. It's just something you need to accept.

Funny thing..I saw nothing about how old this first grader was, or why the teacher though it necessary to put him in a choke.

And to me, a choke is the best way to diffuse a violent situation, if you can get there. Especially if this first grader was going after other students in that class.

"You keep saying this. It kills others as well."

Yup.

Do does the seasonal flu. So does food poisoning. Heart Disease. Cancer. Car crashes...whatever.

Listen princess, I'm not telling you that you should stop living life because you might be exposed to other people...I'm telling you I'm not going to stop.

If you're worried about it, I would highly encourage you to move to Alaska. Somewhere north of the Chena river. You can have your necessary supplies air-dropped. You could almost eliminate any sort of human contact altogether.
