apr 20, 2020. novak djokovic sparks a backlash after publicly opposing the covid-19 vaccine.
he says: “personally, i am opposed to vaccination, and i wouldn’t want to be forced by someone to take a vaccine in order to be able to travel.”.
asked by sky news australia anchor danica de giorgio why djokovic was granted the visa in the first place, the home affairs minister said: “they’re entirely separate processes”.. “to gain entry to australia you need both – you actually need the visa, which is determined quite separately, and then you have to meet the entry requirements,” she said.. “i know that people are putting the two issues together, but the visa application process and the granting of a visa is very separate to the additional entry requirements that every traveller needs to meet to be able to enter australia.”.
Well, yeah, the story has kinda caught my attention, although I don't know the ins and outs of it.
Djokovic is right: nobody should be forced to have the vaccine.
But I also agree with you - foreigners wanna stay in another country? Then abide by that country's rules.
It'll be a shame if he is deported, a shame for tennis. Djokovic will probably end up with most grand slams out of him, Federer and Nadal.
after a conversation with hubby l started thinking about silly lyrics in songs , of which there are many .bang a gong by marc bolan is pretty daft , although apparently his lyrics are deep .
do you have any favourite daft lyrics?

ghislaine maxwell is on trial for grooming underage girls for sex and joining in, apparently.. her defence has recently finished, with maxwell declining to take the stand herself because she, in her words, 'doesn't need to as the prosecution haven't proved their case beyond reasonable doubt'.. that's for the jury to decide, ghislaine, lol.
.
doesn't it strike you as arrogant that she can't be arsed to stand up and speak in her own defence?.
@Resolute Bandicoot - that is still to come.
Hopefully she won't be 'suicided'.
I hope Prince Andrew is sh!tting himself now, lol. #ExtraditeAndrew
this wt doctrine includes the wrathful mass execution of individual children, babies and disabled belonging to the billions of non-jws... extremist?
"during the war of armageddon, jehovah will execute people, not in a cold, clinical manner, but in a “great rage.” (read ezekiel 38:18.
) he will direct the explosive force of his anger, not against one army or one nation, but against countless individuals living across the globe.
'Kindly' or a negative phrase such as 'hate-filled' doesn't come into it.
The end result is the same, ie lots of death and destruction.
The god of the Jews was a total mental case.

@LHG - yes, I bought a newspaper with it splashed on the front page. I haven't read it yet, tho.
So, she's convicted - excellent news!!!
Who the f**k was she tryna kid, lol?
She was with Epstein for 12 years, they shared the same bed. They were f**king at one stage. She must've known he had an inclination towards young, vulnerable females.
This is a great day for US justice. Lock her up for the rest of her life.
I hope that b!tch dies in jail ...
witnesses never watch r movies.
but they understand references to wood chippers and banjo music.. other than that the rating system is not worldwide .
Witnesses never watch R movies - I did.
I remember watching Trainspotting (1996) when I was 18 years old and still in. I remember feeling conflicted. It's clearly a great film but it has lots of naughtiness - sex, swearing, drug-taking, violence.
I also watched my fair share of porn too, lol ...

In this country you can't be forced to testify - yes, that's correct.
It just strikes me as a bit odd, that's all.
Like she's got something to hide ...

Ghislaine Maxwell is on trial for grooming underage girls for sex and joining in, apparently.

That's for the jury to decide, Ghislaine, lol.

if you think it works, what is your evidence outside of possible coincidence?.
I haven't seen any evidence that prayer does anything concrete.
However, if it puts religious people's minds at rest, or somehow makes them feel better, then prayer could have a benefit basically identical to a placebo.
well, i'm spoilt for choice for the seventies!.
so many good movies.
i own a few more films from this decade - 41 to be exact.. so many great films came out in this decade .... the godfather (1972).
And no trilogy or beyond has ever held up or gotten better - yes, this is true.
However, one film stands out to me - the 7th film of the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise - Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994). That film's very good. Wes Craven was way ahead of his time - that film was meta before meta became trendy.
