I know that about you. And they are correct, The Lord™ has provided a vaccine.

Common sense is no longer part of the discussion for many people. Doom prophets and deniers are two sides of the same coin. They are both groups of people who are dug in for the fight rather than working for improvements. I do not think there are complete solutions available, but there are still ways to lessen the impact. Yes we are adaptable and will survive, but that is no excuse for ignoring and denying the problem until adaptation with an unknown but potentially high cost is forced on our grand children.

The situation where I am has taken a dramatic turn for the better. My wife has now been reassigned back to her regular job and out of the ICU which is now only half full of covid patients and can handle some of it's regular work. Vaccination rates are at 75% for one dose and 51% for two and rising every day. Of course there is the Mennonite/bible belt region where the rates are less than half of that. I'm not sure if it is because those people are stupid, selfish or both.

A 90% vaccinated population is one that is safe. A 65% vaccinated population is one that will have the virus on a slow simmer waiting for a chance to evolve and thrive again. We can wish that the mostly selfish people who won't do the right thing would simply become subject to Darwin's law. But the reality is that most of them will do fine and just spread it around.

I'm not thinking of the "conservative movement". I am thinking of people who I know who are conservative by nature and are also very rule oriented. I have often found that these people are quick to forget the rules they expect others to follow when they find them inconvenient. I know it is anecdotal, but it is my experience.

If green was a religion it would make more sense than any traditional religion.
-
Conservative and hypocrite have always been interchangeable terms. They are all about how important it is for other people to follow the rules.

Montreal finally won a game. So of course, tear gas was needed..... https://torontosun.com/news/local-news/delirious-canadiens-fans-watch-game-4-downtown-and-go-home-happy/wcm/5f40cdf8-629d-478e-9a81-42a64620f7aa?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwAR1rt7ooZ-T8gx3eBolmmQMKS54Sz1QzGxjCEk0kwbRM3pHZQFvtBcZ1QSk#Echobox=1625572368

Post trump Legal Actions, Including his Enablers

Exact same tactic the neo-cons used to lead the nation to a holy war. -
It would probably a little easier for San Antonio to do that if only they could move about 250 miles north! That would might easier than negotiating for a transmission line through the rest of the state.
-
Texas? Aren't they practicing electrical sovereignty?
-
Who gets to decide what sin is? I live by the laws of my society and I feel mentally healthy. Which brings up the next question. Who decides on the definition of mental health?

I would interpret this piece of gobbledy goop as your way of saying that like many of Trumps's fans you will ignore the evidence and cling tightly to the lies you have chosen to embrace. Because your world would become even more frightening to you if you did not.

Will the Taliban have the keys in time for the 9/11 20th anniversary? The west calls them terrorists. In their home country they’re basically “we the people”.

Doesn't China have both a shrinking population and a rapidly expanding GDP?

I mean the 2021 hockey riots of course!

I've got 5 of them sitting in my basement. I used to refurbish them and Ebay them.

4 Catholic churches burn in British Columbia
gowlerk replied to riggerrob's topic in Speakers Corner
Because when mosques or synagogues are attacked it is usually because of hatred toward the people who attend them. These churches on or near native communities were attacked because of hatred toward the organization and what those buildings stand for, not the the parishioners. At least that's how it is for me. -
If you are stubborn enough to still want to continue jumping after what you have been through you are probably also stubborn enough to fight your way through school and into the degree. And I take back at least a little about your parents and control. After reading your description of the way you have been negotiating with them I'm begging to thing YOU may be the controlling one!
-
Although he was mining my comment, I agree with you. His parents are controlling, but that does not mean they are wrong.
-
What do I think? Two things. Your parents want the best for you, but are also control freaks. I have no opinion on what you should do.
-
As does their webpage. Actually it says "RI, powered by Sunpath".

Comparing the Wings H/C to a Curv is like comparing a Chevy to a Caddy. The Wings is a very hard sell used, the Curv will always be desirable. Well worth the extra time and money.

Just making the finals was enough for the first disturbances. Win or lose there will be high emotions in Canada over the chance to bring home the Hallowed Stanley Cup. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/downtown-montreal-habs-police-celebration-riot-1.6079611
