    It's just men claiming dominion over women's bodies like they have for millennia. Texas abortion law is a perfect example, the law itself sets people against each other. 

    You might have a point if you’re side wasn’t the side insisting that men can get pregnant. ?

    Regardless, abortion has never been a constitutional right.  It’s never been codified.  There’s a process for that, but none of its supporters have ever attempted it.  Instead they’ve relied on an outdated, badly decided court decisions.

  2. I’m hesitant to believe anything I see out of Ukraine right now.  Truth is the first casualty of war.  It’s certainly possible that this is all true, but I think everyone needs to pump the brakes a bit. 
    But no, nobody should be found guilty.  An investigation should be carried out, and if the end results means they’re guilty, than fine.

    It's looking more and more like Putin is losing his invasion. Putin's probably running out of fuel  and spare parts because some oligarchs ignored the requisition and sold them to a higher bidder.

    The big old bad Russian bear doesn't seem so big and bad after all.  Seem more like a big old loser the longer this goes on.  Who knew...all this time we probably could have easily knocked what's left of the stuffing out of what's proving to be no worse than a threadbare old teddy bear.

    I don’t think he’s losing.  He’s encountered stronger than expected resistance, but he’s still making progress.

    Saying it over and over again might help you with your faith but it won't all of a sudden start being true.

    Here, I'll give you one easy example of somebody who might not want the clot shot - and not for medical reasons.

    He or she might already be naturally immune. This means his chances of not getting the virus outlast the vaccine and may even be better at their peaks. So why would he risk adverse affects and the possible long term consequences of an untested mRNA therapeutic?

    It’s actually unscientific what he’s saying.  It actually goes against the science.  Pretending that everyone is at high risk from covid and therefore needs to get vaccinated is pure propaganda.

    Anyone over 18 who doesn't get the vaccine, unless it's for medical reasons, is a fool and really really bad at math and probabilities.

    No, that’s not correct.  Anyone over 18 with underlying health problems that doesn’t get vaccinated is foolish.  We have to stop the nonsense that everybody, no matter what age and iin what health all have the same risk from covid.  It’s not the case at all.  It’s why in Canada the average age of a covid death is 80+ years old.  That’s older than life expectancy!

    I think your world view has, again, been affected by the Internet and how debates are presented there. In the real world, it's not nearly so partisan. Although I will grant that there is less respect among the right for science and healthcare workers.

    Yours is the side that fires healthcare workers for not getting vaccinated after calling them hero’s while working tirelessly throughout the pandemic when there were no vaccines.  Yours is also the side that insists biological men can become biological women and vice versa, and that men can get pregnant.  Tell us more about science! ?

    I guess you have to provide the cite where I said I supported them or admit you're a lying coward who can't make an argument without lying.

    You said nothing critical at all during the months long riots.  Now you're complaining about a peaceful protest involving honking automobiles, while businesses and government buildings were burned to the ground last summer.  I've already told you that you have absolutely no credibility on this issue.  None.

    It's not a crime and you're just making a stupid lie only idiots really believe anyway, so it's kind of irrelevant.

    But setting up economic blockades, terrorizing neighborhoods and now physically assaulting reporters is not peaceful. You have been dealt with as you deserve and Canadians overwhelmingly support that.

    Isolated instances, BLM riots were far worse for that, and you supported them.  Regardless, nobody deserves to have their due process rights suspended.  Unless you support fascism.

    1. Only if you believe him.  The paradox is that if you believe him then how can you call him a goon ?
    2. Biden ?  What ?
    3. Yeah - the "don't make fun of gay people" stuff has like 0% impact on our lives compared to economic, environment and unity problems.  If you want to keep anybody left-of-centre out of politics out because they might make you say 'them/they' then you're only seeing part of the picture.  Paradoxically, the alt-right people I engage with seem to really hate big corporations like Pfizer and Facebook.

    Unfortunately that’s not true.  The lefts insanity has permeated every facet of society and made everyone’s life in Canada worse.  Carbon taxes, endless unlimited immigration, are the two biggest.  But more recently many of the unscientific covid restrictions.  The elimination of biological sex, where now biological men can compete against biological women just because they say the identify as a woman now.  Then you have the defund the police movement, which has also led to very bad bail reform, or eliminated cash bail completely.  So violent offenders are literally let back on the street the same day.  You have progressives refusing to enforce shoplifting laws, which have led to huge increases of people brazenly walking into stores and taking whatever they want.  In schools, you have left wing goons teaching flat out racism, based on the colour of a child’s skin.

    Except that its true compared to what Zeitgeist believes.  Knowing something is true because its been shown to be true  leaves you better positioned to deal with it. Simply believing something without evidence however puts you in a more vulnerable spot.

    It looks like the worst of the pandemic might be behind us and I'm happily getting on with my life.  You guys however are still faced with a nightmare that you seemingly can't do anything about. 

    It’s not true.  It’s deadly to particular age groups and people in very poor health.  That’s why the average age of a covid death in Canada is over 80 years old.

    Well if you couldn't tell that I really have to conclude you're actually quite serious about your sense that Canada is a dictatorship and you're a slave.

    What an absolutely awful thing to invest so much of your time thinking about.  Don't your friends and family notice or ask you about it?

    It’s almost as awful as investing time thinking that covid is a deadly virus.

    Well, in emergency situations there can sometimes be TEMPORARY interruptions.  The key is TEMPORARY.  Two years later, it’s no longer a surprise, no longer temporary, no longer a reason why governments can’t go through the normal process of passing laws.

    You just said we should have lockdowns early in the pandemic and then to abandon them at the first sign of success, because then they are obviously unnecessary. Then I asked why have them at all? Then you said you addressed that by saying we should have them early.

    No, I said I can understand shutting down for a period of time for information gathering.  To gain a better understanding of the virus, etc. I specifically mentioned that in a previous post.  It would be necessary so that people can have an idea of how best to protect themselves, and determine what kind of risk they’re acceptable with.

  14. 4 minutes ago, BubberMiley said:

    What if that lockdown works and the virus is contained so few are dying? What data do you then use to decide when and how to reopen?

    It should be up to each individual as to the risk they’re willing to accept.  It’s not up to the government to decide for me.
