The first documented member of my family moving to North America was a Dutch Mennonite priest.

A pejorative term currently being developed as a catchall definition for anything libtards want to find wrong with Christianity. We're not as adept at otherism as others are so it's still a work in progress. It would definitely not apply to Mennonite Barn Builders but would probably apply to Machine Gun preachers who can't help themselves from leaving behind a few crates of bibles after some good works. No matter, we need to tone it down a bit. After all, we all know believers with huge hearts who are good and fast friends. Maybe I'll start with me.

I'd be fine with recognizing a recent antibody test on an equal footing with vaccination. (You can't really do "prior infection" because every anti-vaxxer out there will lie about that.)

The EU also has universal healthcare, maybe you should ask for that as well. Yes they issue recovery certificates and those grant the right for EU citizens to travel within the EU. This does not mean that all EU governments treat past cases the same as vaccinated people. Many countries within the EU have mandates, especially for healthcare workers. So far the CDC says that those with past cases have some protection, but they still get re-infected at twice the rate that the vaccinated do. Omicron seems particularly able to infect both groups. Right now getting vaccinated seems to provide more protection for both groups. There are unanswered questions and as more information comes in the picture may change. Right now there is a crisis and there is no real reason not to get vaccinated. It may be like having an AAD. You probably don't need it, but you will drop the $1200 anyway because it is best practice. Getting people vaccinated is best practice in this crisis. We need all hands on deck. Many people are suffering from other conditions because the hospitals are jammed. We can sort out the best vaccine regime later when we have more data. Clearly one dose followed by a second in 3 weeks and a third in 6 months is nothing more than an estimate. And so is the effect of prior infection. We want to do our best, it is not time to look for the easiest thing that might work. It is time to pull together and do everything we can.

The problem I find is that sooner or later I will read something so outrageous that I can't stop myself from responding. And that invariably leads me into a downward spiral of tit for tat messaging. It is far better to as John keeps saying, not feed the trolls. And the best way for me to do that is not to read them.

Its amazing how the thought of prison stripes brings focus to the racist mind.

It is the same disconnect as people who complain and refuse to donate to charities because the CEO or paid staff make too much money, but then defend churches by stating how much good they do.

One of the starting premises by Paul is that people are either completely supportive of Fauci or are completely against him. This is a false premise set to frame a conversation later on. Paul claims Fauci sets government dogma. Then why has this dogma changed between different governments that have as the only constant Fauci for 40 years. He also misquotes Fauci who said he represents science in the vaccine and covid debate, which Paul then restates as Fauci saying he is science. This is all in the first 5 minutes, I stopped after that. Other than this appearing to line up with your opinions, what is in the slightest interesting about it?

Hey Ron! Nice to be back. This place has the tendency to bring out the conservative in me - it's entrenching like that. Hope everything is going well. Shalyn's still with me, fighting now for 5+ years. There's still a decline that brings tears to my eyes, but we're working on it.
