I was not forced... did you read the post. There were options. I simply chose otherwise.

If I owned a bookstore.. I would not agree to have him speak. I would want my book store to be a place of business and not politics.

except that this source points out a positive birth rate... more born than died. That increases your population. So, not 100% of the population growth is from immigration.

Where this pursuit of getting it right is really on display is hiring. Recently was promoted to a supervisory role. Words can't describe the mess that is recruiting someone, interviewing them, etc. The underlying idea is that we want to find the perfect candidate and so the proverbial hoops are our way of refining our search. Well, what a waste of time. I just started the process of hiring someone in October 2023... If all goes well, I will interview them in first week of October 2023.

When it comes to subjective opinions and predictions.. there is no gold standard. Therefore, all one can do is read a lot of them and try to synthesize something from them. My subjective opinion is that DeSantis has the money and gravitas to undertake a serious presidential campaign. As for if he will win.. no way of knowing

to cut off the inevitable assumption of WCM.. I got vaccinated simply to avoid having to get tested every week and do a bunch of paperwork. Did I feel some sort of civic duty? No. Was it because I read stuff on CNN/CBC/Facebook? No again The policy at the office was that if you did not get vaccinated by July 2021 then you had to submit to testing every friday at 2 pm at a location in downtown. I chose to get the shots simply to avoid this hassle. Nothing all that complex.

Except, I have stated no dedication to any COVID narrative. You even owned up to this. You simply want to pick a fight and it pisses you off that I am not your convenient target

That is not saying that you are wrong... second black mark against you. An example would be, WCM says, "100 people died" IO says, "No, 98 people died"

Ok, you are pissed off. Cool. So is it possible that I am not?

Where have I stated that you are wrong? This would take about 20 seconds... if it existed. Programming, brainwashing... is just a cop out for those who are lazy or low intellect. Try this out... maybe, just maybe.. someone in this world does not align with you 100% on this topic. Is that possible?

Ok, well this is a start. Now, can you answer this question (or dodge like you did before).. what forces me to be as passionate about this topic as you?

Yes, it is a cop out. "programming" is what types you use instead of asking any questions or doing anything other than your standard binary logic (1 = completely agrees with me and therefore smart and good, 0 = does not align with me perfectly and therefore IQ of 20 and worthless). Besides, you assume like I am trying to prove you wrong and that I am actively seeking this information. If you must know, at the moment, I am downloading a data set that has 6 million rows and 144 columns and trying to figure out how to parse it.

First I have never said anything that you state is wrong... It is simply not the first thing on my mind. How do you know that I admire these "leftist sources". You know absolutely nothing about me.. Assumptions are for those who too weak to take the time to truly figure something out.

"programming" This is the cop out that types like you use. If I do not align with you. then by default.. I am programmed. This is why I have zero respect for internet forum posters like yourself. You want affirmation above all else.. pretty weak stuff, honestly. I do not need your approval/affirmation nor that of anyone else on here or any forum. You do. Do you know where I get my dismissive attitudes about conspiratorial thinking? Hint.. it predates COVID by about 20 years...

Can you prove that I "copy and paste my answers from CNN"? No opinions, no interpretations, or reading between the lines. Show your mettle and back this up. You claim to be smart and have some character... Well, then show it.

Well, I gave you a chance. You could not answer a simple, straight forward question. You have zero evidence to back up this assertion. I was hoping that you would be not the usual internet forum poster who hides behind anonymity. I was wrong.. it happens. "for no other reason than "it conflicts with CNN/CBC's approved narratives" is the first sign of MSM victimhood. "

Where in my posts do I say that I saw anything on CBC/CNN? Answer this and I will answer your other questions.

So the only way that I know about the phrase, "Conspiracy Theory" is CNN, CBC, etc. Wow... that is some fascinating logic.

Hmmm.. and the population is about 100. One crime in a given year is going to appear major. If you do not understand the difference in crime stats between a place of population 100 and that of population 600K (just an example) then you are clueless. Your source has some issues. There are no neighborhoods in Bruneau. There is only 3 block section that has any housing of any kind. There is no east/west part of town..

Not to give TMI but I voluntarily ended my ability to create more children. Both children were created and born and the operation were done pre-COVID. Two children is good enough for me.

Well, had shingles in June 2020... 11 months before the vaccine. Also, my covid case was fairly mild. There is no evidence that one led to the other. I had completely recovered from Covid when the odd electric shock feeling started and by late 2020.. the sores started to show

do not know about Canadian Government but I work for a state government in the US and the issue is usually that they care so much about efficiency that they are paralyzed. You have to get it right and even if that demands that you take six extra months to do so.. its fine. The bureaucracy is supposedly a way to filtering out unnecessary stuff and getting a refined, efficient result... Well, it mostly does not work.

I post because I like to discuss society as a whole. Simple enough? As for COVID, I find it amusing that when I make it clear that i am not passionate about it (and therefore brutally honest).. folks on forums go apoplectic. It must be because I am brainwashed.. there can be no other explanation. That tells me all I need to know about them.

Or is it that Americans do not care about speaking French? I have never taken any French and know next to nothing about it. Spanish... I used to be fluent but that was 20 years ago.

No, I do not. One random internet forum poster is not the know-all, end-all. My existence does not hinge on my paying attention to one person on an internet forum.
