  Maybe if people don't like vaccines, just home school and leave the rest of humanity alone.

  Reminds me of a movie (I can't remember the title) where a guy gets confronted by someone doing karate moves with sticks and a lot of other stuff and starts screaming different words and things.

  The guy just pulls out a gun, shoots him, and walks away.

  Noah's Ark : A structure that could never have been built in Noah's day

  the ark encounter located in kentucky (opened in 2016) is a large representation of noah's ark based on the genesis flood narrative contained in the bible.

  it is 510 feet (155 m) long, 85 feet (26 m) wide, and 51 feet (16 m) high.. .

  genesis 6: 14 so make yourself an ark of cypress[c] wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out.

  When you have a house built, you deal with the contractor, in this case Noah. To actually get the work done, as is typical in any construction project, you subcontract out most of the actual work.

  God was the architect, drawing up the plans. Noah was the contractor to make sure the project was on plan and on budget. Who knows how many smaller companies were involved in the actual work.

  I liked that pic by jp1692 with big mop handle.

  I used a broom handle and went into my front yard and did some poses. I got some strange looks from the neighbors.

  I don't have any kids in Florida schools but I just looked at the list of shots / vaccines required and was shocked. This is on the Florida schools website:

  · Four or five doses of DTaP

  · Four or five doses of IPV

  · Two doses of MMR

  · Three doses of Hep B

  · One Tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap)

  · Two doses of Varicella (kindergarten effective with 2008–2009 school year, then an additional grade is added each year thereafter). Varicella vaccine is not required if there is a history of varicella disease documented by the health care provider.

  Wow, maybe the flu shot is not such a big deal then. I was shocked that kids have to go through such things just to enter Florida schools.

  Do You Think the Federalist System in the US Gives States too Much Power?

  as time goes on, i keep rethinking this whole thing about states' rights here in the us.

  the more i think about it, i think less states' power may be a way to reduce some of the craziness going on.. as mentioned on another thread, you can't even drive now into some states without them checking your license tag where you are from so you have have to be quarantined.

  states such as georgia are pretty much wide open.

  If I kill your gramma because I prefer not to wear a mask, tough $#!+ for you.

  @sir82 ....

  If you take that route, just don't leave the carcass on my lawn. It would interfere with my "liberty and pursuit of happiness."

  I see... so masks are ‘one way’. Also, second hand smoke.

  @Justaguy ...

  Even people who smoke don't like second hand smoke. It's already been ingested. It's in someone's body already. Then they get rid of it.

  It's like a ham sandwich. If you eat it, you want the initial ham sandwich. You don't want a second-hand ham sandwich that has been digested by someone. Come on man, a digested ham sandwich is well, call it what you want, but it is shit. Do you want a second hand sandwich? Do you say, that doesn't bother me? I certainly don't want second hand smoke, nor a second hand sandwich.

  I'm on the fence on this one. Generally, if you get the vaccine you "should" not get the flu. No guarantee, but a reasonably high percentage. If parents don't want their kids to get it (as is true of some religions, such as the Hasidic Jews) then it's their kids who may suffer.

  I don't know, if you get it at least, hopefully, no one else suffers.
