I take objection to the idea that public health is "politics" just because some politicians don't listen to the experts.
@  fourteenwings : (04 March 2021 - 10:59 AM)

I was only replying to the general sentiment of the last three posts before mine.
@  NotVeryKnightly : (04 March 2021 - 10:58 AM)

The person you replied to specifically gave the example of "limiting the amount of people in a facility".
@  NotVeryKnightly : (04 March 2021 - 10:58 AM)

This wasn't about "lock[ing] everyone in the country down".
@  fourteenwings : (04 March 2021 - 10:57 AM)

All I'm saying is there are lockdown and anti-lockdown people and hashing it out in the shoutbox on a toy forum is dumb.
@  fourteenwings : (04 March 2021 - 10:56 AM)

You don't have to lock everyone in the country down to mitigate risks in one population.
@  fourteenwings : (04 March 2021 - 10:56 AM)

Of course older people have it worse, but America is one of those countries where people ship their old people to homes far away from the action anyways.
@  NotVeryKnightly : (04 March 2021 - 10:55 AM)

What ar you even trying to say, anyway? That we shouldn't complain about others increasing the danger more than necessary?
@  fourteenwings : (04 March 2021 - 10:55 AM)

Frankly, there's a lot to say on this issue that can't be encompassed on the shoutbox and I really really don't want to have to deal with politics every single time I check the forums.
@  NotVeryKnightly : (04 March 2021 - 10:54 AM)

To claim that this is about the people in the 20-40 range is also disingenuous.
@  fourteenwings : (04 March 2021 - 10:53 AM)

Essential workers and such are pretty fit on average which is an extra boon for them.
@  fourteenwings : (04 March 2021 - 10:51 AM)

It's not really a personal choice issue, it's a risk versus well, anything you want to do issue. Literally leaving the house results in potential exposure, mask or no. Overall, most of us who hang out here are 20-40, and our survival rate is comparable with some pretty out there statistics.
@  NotVeryKnightly : (04 March 2021 - 10:39 AM)

Anybody who has to go out because of work or groceries or whatever can't just choose to avoid any potential disease-spreaders, for one thing.
@  NotVeryKnightly : (04 March 2021 - 10:38 AM)

Kind of disingenuous to frame this as just a personal choice issue.
@  fourteenwings : (04 March 2021 - 10:22 AM)

This whole "I can't handle people not me having the choice to not put on masks" thing's a bit much.
@  -LittleAutob... : (04 March 2021 - 09:14 AM)

Hey, Florida is one of the most infected states, and we won't even shut down. We may use masks, but restaurants, clubs, you name it, those are still wide open. Also, what's limiting the amount of people in a facility again? :p

Didn't that come right after the 2016 clown panic? No way to make clowns not disturbing at the time, surely.
@  PlutoniumBoss : (28 February 2021 - 04:26 AM)

The clown guise is supposed to lure kids in, it's no good if it looks sus in one glance.
@  PlutoniumBoss : (28 February 2021 - 04:15 AM)

The new one tries too hard to be unsettling from the start. Curry's look is just a plain old clown, until he very much is not.
@  PlutoniumBoss : (28 February 2021 - 04:14 AM)

And Curry has a far more disturbing look at times than the newbie.
@  Sabrblade : (28 February 2021 - 02:22 AM)

And the original was a showcase of Tim Curry's delightfulness as an actor. 'Nuff said.
@  unluckiness : (27 February 2021 - 10:19 PM)

@  repowers : (24 February 2021 - 05:33 PM)

If everyone would just have the exact same opinions as me then we wouldn't have this problem
@  Kalidor : (24 February 2021 - 01:49 PM)

It just depends on what it is. It is preferable to take it to P&R though. But sometimes current news as it's happening is less restrictive.
@  fourteenwings : (24 February 2021 - 12:18 AM)

Huh, good point (x3)
@  ▲ndrusi : (23 February 2021 - 11:46 AM)

Yeah. 1. People treat it like Twitter. 2. There's no "take it to P&R" since there's no P&R for the Shoutbox. 3. There's similarly no way to avoid either subjects or people in the Shoutbox since there's no division and it doesn't respect the ignore function, so people end up engaging when they normally wouldn't.

Ironbite-this man will quit when everybody fails to worship the ground he walks on.

I hope so. As I've commented before, Trump seems to really be in denial of how popular he is. The "I am the voice of the people" spiel rings a little hollow when you lost the popular vote.

The Trump administration is trying to rebrand their obvious lies as "alternative facts".

Give that a second to sink in: "alternative facts".

We're three days in, and they're trying to sell us "alternative facts".

The first press conference is to bawl out the press for reporting the facts. 

Goverment agencies are having their twitter accounts taken away because Donald doesn't like the facts they've tweeted out, even though they're apolitical.  

And now we have council for the President using the term 'alternative facts'.

My guess - Wikileaks releases them with Don's knowledge, one of them strategically altered, and Don releases the one single years taxes that were messed with. Which accomplishes a lot of things. Provides cover for whatever executive orders are needed to make all of his cases go away forever. Lets idiots start saying that Trump released his taxes when all he really did was cherry pick the one least likely to be worth a private cell at Gitmo and pretend the rest were a lie. Worth at least a season of content for his Politics Entertainment sideshow that provides theater to distract from all of the atrocities he's otherwise doing. Good business!  :puke

You won't have to. He'll either have a heart attack from the stress of the job because there is no way a bloated old man like him doesn't have health issues, quit from the stress and let Pence become president, or be impeached when he's betrayed by Wikileaks when they leak his tax returns or possibly being convicted of treason.

Makes you wonder if they got pro wrestling in Australia back in the 70's and it influenced Assange since he sure seems to treat journalism like a heel & face turn. Democrat in office? Heel turn, now we're enemies. Republican? Another turn, now we're enemies. Repeat again and again.

 

Of course it could all be a ruse and the only stuff that at a glance seems bad for Donald will just be his hits on political rivals on the right who dare to say no to him.

Yeah, anyone hoping that Trump's attitude towards the media was going to change once he was actually in office is going to be disappointed. It looks like a full-blown war against the media is going to be the tone of this administration. This is going to be an interesting four years, to say the least.

Turning up in so many numbers as a sign of protest against the fascist tyrant in the White House.

Did British citizens do the same when the nationalist Right took over our country last June? No. Because we are spineless and pathetic compared to you. You offer the world hope.
