  well, it has happened.. workers in these industries will be forced to vax or lose their employment.. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-01/victoria-which-authorised-workers-mandatory-vaccination-onsite/100506980.

  i'm glad to be out of the workforce.. never thought it would come to this in a supposed democratic society.. no wonder protests and law suits are increasing in intensity.

  like for fucks sake,,, a worker at a takeaway bottle / liquor shop.

  One final point: USA COVID deaths: 719,933. Australia COVID deaths: 1,346. What USA does is its business, but we are generally happy with what we have been able to prevent.

  Absolute counts are meaningless. The only measure that counts is per 100,000 or something that allows comparison between different countries.

  Even then, you have to take into account the locality and population density - because people spread out across a massive area is very different to the same number living in a small apartment block. The counts for both countries need to be broken down by area and compared separately to ensure it's like-for-like.

  Then you have to look at population and obesity levels. Does Australia have as many obese black people as the US for instance? Both have high correlation with severe COVID outcomes and low vaccination rates in the US.

  The fact is that Australia has been authoritarian and used brutal treatment of people who simply don't believe the hype. If so few have died, as you say, they why the heavy handed treatment? Don't tell me that it "proves it's worked" because that assumes all these people who suddenly protest are all masked up and isolated the rest of the time and that makes no sense.

  I also don't believe any claim where they say exactly who caught COVID from who, because if that were doable then it would be easy to contain. The fact is they never know who you caught it from, it's all just probabilities and potential.

  Leftists use any excuse to impose their authoritarianism, it's their nature so if they are given the opportunity they lurch toward it, COVID is the current excuse, the new "jew".

  1995 generation change

  now, many years later, i remember the 1995 generation change, very well.. since early youth, hearing my father explaining in field service the 2520 years.

  it was his main theme in the field.. with the change my doubts started.

  with some jw friends we did not trust the organization anymore.

  They think Armageddon will bail them out on the mortgage so they won't have to pay it off, but in reality they will simply die in debt -- but at least they won't have to pay it off.

  Hopefully they are a childless couple. Not that you should rely on your parents passing anything on to you, but to have them live in a financially reckless way due to an outside influence that they chose to follow without thinking is likely disheartening and something many only discover after their parents pass away. Or worse, will become a burden to their children in later life.

  For any boomer to die in debt represents a massive failure in good life choices, because they really were handed a favourable system (to them) on a plate.

  Wait till the Chinese economy brings everything down. The Evergrande collapse is just a symptom of bigger underlying problems. They are now struggling to keep the lights on as the wheels come off their fakes economic miracle.

  China, the gift that keeps giving.

  In the UK it is legal to abort a Down's Syndrome baby up until the moment of birth

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  there was a recent legal challenge, brought about by a woman who herself has down's, which sought to overturn this sad state of affairs.. and a few days ago, a judge upheld the original law and denied her legal challenge.

  this is pretty sick, don't you think?.

  pro-abortion people love to ridicule religious people who claim that life begins at conception, so the obvious question is, when does life actually begin?.

  Abort? Fancy word for "Murder".

  Murdering unborn babies - just another sick policy of the left.

  SEX BETWEEN CONSENTING ADULTS NOT WRONG

  by JohnTron72 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i replied to a lesbian on the quora website who tried to state that god destroyed sodom because of the violent rape the people were trying to commit, not because they were homosexuals.

  her argument perperuated so often was that it stated nothing about sex between "two consenting adults".

  but, instead of using the bible scriptures such as a man shall not lay down with another as a woman, i used something else you never hear anyone use.... i told her to look to genesis 6:1-4 .

  Stop with the ALL-CAPS SHOUTING

  Also, stop with the nuttery.

  Seriously, you're arguing over technicalities todo with fairy stories. It's all bullshit.

  But then to come here to tell your little story of how someone said something and you told them something else ... are we supposed to be impressed?

  Just so you know, I think you're a grade A mentalist, and if all you can talk about is gay people ... you might just be gay.

  Hope you are truly right about all you say about this. , but a poor schmuck like me find it dubious that many of the scams, extortion, ransom deals are channeled to the parallel monetary system, is it not because it is not easily traceable through layers of "wallet" sites? only accessible through coded passwords?

  The vast majority of crime and fraud happens using USD. Most crypto is trackable and provides law enforcement with new tools.

  banks give out stolen money with a colouring bomb attached.

  I think that's more in movies. The real criminal use of USD will be things like cartels moving shipments of drugs etc... and of course the major banks doing money laundering and other shenanigans.

  Is it not true, that financial crisis were not triggered by honest people working to much or little, but by speculation and manipulation of artificial monetary concepts and vehicles, that have only tenuous connection to reality?

  Too many negatives in the sentence to try to make sense of it. The last banking crisis was caused by assets being misrepresented and a contagion of bad debt. The "solution" to all things for banks and politicians is to inflate currency so it becomes worthless, because it makes their debts less and steals from savers ... money that they otherwise can't touch.

  True, that China has produced a lot of junk, piling up in our landfills, ut they also have produced value for many of their suffering people.

  hopefully their aggression can be contained.

  cash , under the table earnings are also great ways to dodge taxes, , and make others pay for the benefits that governments dish out, such as universal healthcare and pensions to the poor retired circuit overseer and special pioneers, and other gullible true believers in / of wt inc.

  Crypto isn't like cash, as it's traceable.

  Imagine being able to see and track exactly where all the money going into a charity is spent for instance? Not just what they tell you they spend things on, what they actually spend it on, because the ledger of transactions is public.

  Instead of enabling corruption is makes things more transparent, which is not going to be something that certain organizations and certain governments want.
