@me: freedom of speech indeed implies the freedom to yell fire in a crowded theater. The notion that you can’t was overturned by the Supreme Court a century ago.

Putting limits on free speech because you don’t like the outcome has been the MO for the left since the advent of this country.

If we had to listen to the left on everything from masks to vaccines, we’d have neither by now.

Trump, Big Pharma and Capitalism is what made vaccines available to those that are at risk of the virus, and in that group 90% are currently vaccinated, vaccine hesitancy and government disinformation on the facts has been driven by Biden since before he even took office. Forcing a vaccine on people that by and large don’t need it is bad. Forcing masks and distancing after it has been know for nearly a year that it doesn’t work, is bad. That’s what people stand up for. Trump told us the blanket lockdowns were bad, he was right, Fauci knew it, the WHO knew it.

Drinking expensive drinks - seriously looked down upon as a JW

by Anony Mous in

i remember when i was a jw, drinking a good wine or other liquor was looked down upon.

it’s better to put that money towards the worldwide work donations i always got told.

so the best thing i ever got was johnny walker red back then (johnny walker is cheap blend).

Anony Mous

@rocketman: so you’re saying that the money I didn’t spend on a nice bottle back then and put in the donation box, still went to a nice bottle, just not for me. Ironic.

Also talking about drinking, serious stumbling block for some. So not a lot of (good and faithful) witnesses enjoy the finer aspects of life. Also cooking expensive and extensive meals, that was bad because we could’ve spent that time in an extra few hours of field service.

I was thinking of this while enjoying a home cooked lobster ravioli meal with a fresh tomato cream sauce with a 2016 Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Even the kids loved it (the food, not the drink).

Do you guys enjoy the ‘finer things’ following in Jesus footsteps of “the poor you will always have with you”. Also in my liquor cabinet: a number of single malts Macallan, Glenfiddich and Balvenie - I can’t afford them on the regular but my wife gets a bottle once in a while for major holidays (Christmas) or my birthday.

Serious Question: Are You Hearing About Anyone With The Flu Anymore or A Cold?

by minimus in

friends

for years everyone was told they had to get the flu shot.

because the flu was dangerous and it could even kill you.

now, hardly anyone talks about the flu or having a cold.

@Jeffro: COVID is an airborne pathogen, that has long been established long before the WHO which on direction by China continued to say it wasn’t. That’s also the reason that are isolated are getting it, and why people with masks are getting it, they are sharing air supplies with others, it’s not sneeze particles, it’s not surface contact.

The flu statistics are extremely low. They dropped from 1000 per month at the start of the pandemic to 0 or less than 10 in the last few months. It is nigh impossible for in a population of 300M to get 0 positive test cases in a month. As you can clearly see from the link posted, the CDC recommended test for COVID and influenza A and B is currently a single test.

Also a bit related, the VAERS database on COVID vaccine side effects quietly updated their data and doubled the cases of death last week. This puts the vaccine side effects of death in the first 6 months of this year at 12,000, more than all the cases of death related to vaccines in the last 50 years combined.

@jeffro: if that is the case, then why is the flu not spreading according to the data? The evasion of the protective measures should have both diseases spread at the same time and with similar rates. Hence my notion, which is demonstrated by the CDC documentation that the tests for COVID also include influenza markers and as a result, anyone with the flu gets lumped in with COVID.

@jeffro: yet, despite the measures, COVID continued spreading. The measures did nothing but aggravate the situation in most cases, the states and countries with the strictest measures had the most spread.

If you want to know what happened to the flu, look at the CDC statistics. The COVID published numbers and tests (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/lab/multiplex.html) INCLUDE the cases of flu and pneumonia (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm).

Whereas before, we had literally hundreds of people dying monthly from flu, and over 1000 during flu season, we now have zero or single digits dying from flu, because they get lumped in with COVID. Simple reason, as COVID care is 100% paid for by the government, this is turning into government run healthcare.

Love the don't use a gun for self defence by Gary Bro

by mickbobcat in

i just watched that stupid talk by gary while e bro on not using a gun for self defense but it went deeper.

i was that you don't defend yourself against violence.

well ain't that great from an asshat living in a gated and guarded compound.

Anony Mous

I was thinking of this thread for a little while and I came up with this idea:

- what is the reason certain politicians want certain groups of people to give up their guns or the right to self defence

- what is the reason the JW want their followers to give up their guns and self defence

it is for the sole purpose of creating victims and having that group of the victimized are more receptive to very invasive procedures they tell them will protect them.

This is the same reason the Dems don’t want black people to have agency in the voting procedures and why everyone has to have their unique oppressed gender, so they remain victims, forever and victims are easy to lead.

By definition anyone with a cold (coronavirus of any sort) would’ve been identified as being infected with COVID-19 unless they did a blood microscopy test. Flu has similar symptoms, so my kids doctors put the diagnostic in as COVID-19 symptoms so those visits were free, even though the results later came back with bronchitis and another one has an infection I forgot about.

When everyone is scared, everyone has COVID.

Interesting, because back in the day owning guns was allowed for hunting and the like, even self defense was allowed I thought.

I know several elders that have various rifles such as semi-auto and shotguns. So when someone breaks in, tweaking out on meth with an ice pick coming at you, you’re not allowed to stop them.

My daughter living with her PIMI mother loves shooting, she’s 10 and she can accurately hit a target ~20 yards with her crossbow. I also have a 9mm carbine she can handle. If the “world” is getting worse as they claim, the argument for owning is stronger.

20 Years Occupying Afghanistan, Nothing Achieved

by Simon in

so the occupation of afghanistan is coming to an end and, as predicted, they achieved absolutely nothing in that 20 years apart from:.

the death of 2,300+ service personnel and tens of thousands more seriously maimed or injured.. handing $billions or even $trillions of taxpayer dollars to defence contractors (so the military industrial complex wins, even if the military doesn't have a clear victory).. has this lengthy but short-term military occupation really changed anything in the country?

it doesn't appear so.. i said at the time that the us wouldn't have the staying power to enact real change.

The problem in Vietnam was McNamara and the doctrine of proportional retaliation. So he quite literally flew planes in that were ordered to hang still just to get shot down, they weren’t allowed to respond, because, hey they were shooting at them with WW2 era flak cannons, a rocket wouldn’t be proportional. Dozens of planes were lost and they weren’t allowed to retaliate.

Same was the debacle over the AR15/M16 - it wouldn’t be fair to have burst fire, because the enemy didn’t have them, so soldiers were sent into the battlefield with semi-auto guns that were less capable than the same gun produced for civilians. Likewise it was decided that they should have slightly altered rounds to limit the production lines, because “gun control” was high on the Democrat agenda.

It literally took acts of Congress to force the JFK and LBJ administrations to properly equip the military. And then when LBJ signed the order to stop bombing the Vietnamese and retreat, they literally had thousands of people flee in shaggy boats and the US military refused to pick them up or assist them. Thousands drowned, about 90% of the boats did not reach their destination, between being fired upon by the communist regime and the poor situation these people were in.
