Yeah, Charlton Heston was a bugger for that wasn't he.

Woke Oscars cringe
by LoveUniHateExams inactors' acceptance speeches have often been a little dodgy - viewers don't care what political or social views actors may have, we typically appreciate actors acting well.. this year's oscars awards ceremony seems to be going above and beyond, however.. here's frances mcdormand's acceptance speech, in which she dedicates her victory to 'our wolf' and then howls like a bitch, lol.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-_be0awgwk.

What Will Happen If You Do NOT Get The Covid Vaccinations?
by minimus inwe are encouraged to all, if possible, get the vaccinations.
if you don’t, we are told that we definitely could get the virus.
fair enough.. but what happens if you decide you aren’t going to get the shots?

'' If you don’t, [get the vaccination] we are told that we definitely could get the virus.''
Yes maybe, but also, we are told that if you do get the vaccination we still definitely could get the virus as I haven't seen any claims for 100% immunity from getting the virus after being vaccinated.
I thought the purpose of getting vaccinated was to reduce the odds on catching the virus in the first place and also lessen the odds of being seriously ill with it if you do catch it and thus reducing any burden on the hospital system.

What’s Your View On Self Defense?
by minimus inif someone comes to you with a knife or a gun, would you defend yourself if you could?
if someone tried to beat you up , would you physically engage, run away or just try to talk the person out of beating you up or robbing you?
if you did have a gun to defend yourself would you shoot to kill or would you simply aim for the ankle to incapacitate the person?

I may be mistaken but I sure do get the impression that some posters are just itching to get an opportunity to shoot and kill someone.
'Dear Jehovah, please let someone cross me in some way that I get an opportunity to blast a hole in their body. This I ask in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.''

Anony Mous, ''What about Belgium? Italy? UK? They have twice and even three times the death rate.''
I know looking at statistics can be a minefield and open to interpretation but once again you've confused me
Could you show where you get your figures from to say that Belgium Italy and the UK have two or even three times the death rate?
Looking at
https://www.statista.com/statistics/1104709/coronavirus-deaths-worldwide-per-million-inhabitants/
and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_death_rates_by_country
Those stats show Belgium, Italy and the UK having mortality rates per capita as 20%, 12% and 11% higher per capita respectively than the USA.
I've no idea whether the figures are correct either way of course as I never compiled them.

Derek Chauvin - The Right to a Fair Trial
by Simon inanyone following the derek chauvin trial?.
if you are actually following it, not just listening to the media, you will likely realize that there is a huge gap between what is going on in court and what is being reported in the media.. if the trial was fair, i think he should be acquitted.
there is plenty of reasonable doubt about the cause of death (his dealer doesn't want to testify because he could be guilty of 3rd degree murder for selling him a fatal amount of fentanyl) and even doubt over whether the officer even had his knee on the guys neck or did anything counter to what they were meant to do as per policy.. but is it fair?

Anony Mous said,
''What the prosecution has to demonstrate is that he had premeditated killing Floyd (first degree murder), acted in a depraved manner causing his death (second degree murder) or was committing a felony causing his death (third degree murder). The first one is unlikely, because he didn't know Floyd personally, the second one is not applicable because he didn't just randomly pick Floyd out of the crowd and wrestled him to the ground, the third is unlikely because he was authorized and trained to use the force he did.''
I didn't think Mr Chauvin was being charged with first degree murder, so you've confused me now. And I'm a bit confused with your descriptions of second degree and third degree murder.
I thought the charges are,
1) second degree unintentional murder, killing someone unintentionally but while using violence to commit a felony,
2) third degree murder, an unintentional killing that occurs as a result of ''depraved mind'', generally interpreted as acting recklessly with a total indifference to human life,
3) second degree manslaughter, a killing that results from an offenders' negligence.
You also said,
''Same for the EMT, they arrived and couldn't get to him because of the crowd, should the EMT have pushed through, they MAY have saved him,''
Again I'm confused, I didn't realize that the paramedics couldn't get through because of the crowd.

''If you rail against the country’s direction, go where you will be happier. If not , then shush.''
minimus to me,
Thomas and your point is??
As you know Minimus, these are your words on another posting. At the time I disagreed with your position. So I'm surprised you are not following through with your own advice.
