  1. Wonder what Saracen did? Drop out of art school and kill Julie?
  2. I haven't skipped a single thing in the conversation. You want to give an example of someone not getting a hospital bed, I can give an example of someone harmed in prison. We can post links all day. With the bolded, you're starting to get quite specific here. Because just like every murderer is NOT harming other people, not every unvaxxed Covid patient is in a hospital bed needed by other people. The vast majority are just in a hospital bed fighting for their lives. But you want them all dead. And you think all prisoners deserve the right to life. I can understand compassion for both. I can understand a lack of compassion for both. It gets sticky when you act like the moral compass for the treatment inmates yet root for the death of all unvaxxed. FWIW, I agree with you ITT. I actually liked seeing old Brisket show up with some compassion rather than making absurd statements about rooting for the deaths of millions of humans on this earth.
  3. No one gets hurt in prison ever. It’s a pleasant place. Much safer than being around someone with Covid.
  4. I’m not the one arguing that a murderer who has been arrested is no longer harming anyone and deserves to live yet a Covid patient in the hospital is such a danger that we should root for them to die.
  5. You chose to focus on that one sentence rather than the blatant hypocrisy of your thought process between the two groups of humans on this earth. But I’ll address that sentence. Would you rather spend 24 hours in a hospital room with someone with Covid or 24 hours in a prison cell with a murderer? I think we all know the answer. And it’s not with the one you say is “done harming people.” Because they aren’t. Ask the people who have been beaten, raped and killed in prison. But you hope they live and root for the others to die.
  6. Difference between self defense and revenge? Instead of rooting for the virus to become less deadly, you are rooting for it to evolve and become more lethal to a segment of "humans on this earth." In fact, in the scenario you root for, it is of no danger to anyone other than the unvaxxed. When they are in the hospital and likely done transmitting the virus to anyone, you are still rooting for their death. That seems pretty vengeful.
  7. What's the difference between someone doing 1 & 2, catching Covid, taken into "custody" (hospital), and dying in the hospital weeks later, and Someone doing 1 & 2, raping someone, being arrested and dying in jail weeks later? Other than the incredibly obvious differences...why do you have compassion for one but not the other? Why do you actively root for the death of one but protect the life of the other? Politics?
  8. Imagine posting this above, and then this I'm not just rooting for the virus. I'm rooting for it to evolve in one particular way: if you are an unvaxxed adult, the lethality rate skyrockets. Within a two hour period of the same day. Pedophiles, thieves, murderers, rapists...wrong on every level to not give a shit if they die. For the "human beings who exist on this earth" but did not get a vaccination......literally rooting for their deaths.
  9. If we are honestly critiquing this analogy, the 2nd choice isn't that you don't go into the room at all. Its more that you may be in the room and not know it. Or instead of drawing the green or yellow marble you get a red or blue one. I think every single person who refuses to get to get the vaccine has the talking point of "you can still get it", so this analogy doesn't work for that crowd.
  10. Refusing to visit parents you love and haven't seen in 2 years because they live in a state you recently decided to boycott just seems dramatic. That's all. I hope she gets the reaction she wants and doesn't regret it.
  11. Well, she said she loves her parents and isn't cutting ties with them. And didn't describe them as racist like your FIL (oh, I know they have to be, because...). She only is boycotting visiting them because of a law passed in Texas. That seems dramatic to me and something that will be regretted later. Your advice is to fuck them all and encourage people to cut ties with their Republican family members because you did. Agree to disagree.
  12. Some day the parents that you love are going to be gone and you're going to look back at how silly it was to aggy boycott them because they were 2 of 74 million Americans to vote republican in the 2020 presidential election.
  13. If I had a cut on my arm and rubbed doo-doo in it, I think it would get infected. But we've all had a situation where we wipe so much that our ass bleeds, yet those cuts never get infected, do they?
  14. I've been vaxxed since early March, first opportunity I had. Wife since April, first opportunity she had. Encourage everyone to. My entire extended family is 100% minus a couple of 12 year olds. Have no problem wearing masks inside on a temporary basis. i require them for the 2 unvaxxed in my office. Not for vaxxed. Think my only complaint about masks has been a silly requirement in a single city to wear one while coaching youth baseball in the summer. I've also posted that it would be stupid to require them for high school sports such as football. My kids wear masks in school, despite it being optional. Although I will admit, we mainly do it to avoid mandatory quarantines. However, I am a positive person. I am not constant doom and gloom. While I do see this as serious, I do not freak out about every single thing like many do - for example football and school last year, which the surl predicted as disasters. I am pro live life, and believe that's what's best for my family. I can't imagine the damage that would've been done to my children if I had shut them down the way some have over the past 18 months. They would've missed out on some very important moments.
  15. What is my apprant confirmation bias? Is it that I believe a very high number of kids under 12 have had Covid, many without knowing? Because I pretty clearly stated that if you told me it was 80% I would believe that. If you disagree, cool. And I did test them for antibodies as I posted. My 8 year old dinged positive for antibodies two weeks ago and evidently has had Covid "recently." We have no idea when that happened.
  16. Agreed, poor use of anecdotal with regards to a positive test. More anecdotal into my kids activities (school, sports, spend the nights, camp, etc.), their exposure, their mask wearing, their peers mask wearing(poor) and so on that may not represent other kids' experiences. I find it hard to believe my kids haven't directly been exposed many, many times. They've been in school for 5 weeks in the middle of the delta surge with "masks optional" (I'd guess 15% do so) and there have been very few cases at the school. Not one in any of my kid's classes. That tells me, either most everyone has already had it, or its borderline unnoticeable in the kids who have gotten it.
  17. This thing has been going on for what...80 weeks? And 44% of kids in one class got it in a single week? For that small sample size, 80% seems easy. I know very few HS and zero college kids (obviously older than 18) that didn't have it. Elementary age seem to be asymptomatic or minor symptoms. My 8 year old tested positive for antibodies and we were like WTF? I have no evidence, just gut feeling that they've all been exposed so much its impossible.
  18. No chance 80% of kids under 12 have been infected? Or no chance they haven't? The other 14 probably had it before. My kids haven't missed a day of school since last August, while playing every sport they could sign up for. I imagine they've been exposed 100 times a piece.
  19. As a parent of 8, 10 and 12 year olds, I think its damn near impossible that they haven't already had Covid. Anecdotal, but I would believe 80% of kids under 12 have been infected.
  20. Not to mention that symptoms are much less in vaccinated and a symptomatic person is much more likely to spread through coughing, sneezing, runny nose, etc.
  21. If someone had Covid, fared well, and has active antibodies, I just don't have a problem with them waiting to take the vaccine. I don't get the anger over that either. That wasn't a wacko study showing natural immunity fared better than the vaccine. Gupta isn't a wacko for asking Fauci about it and Fauci wasn't wacko for not speaking against it.
  22. Well, that's totally different than the comment I disagreed with and if you would've posted that, I wouldn't have disagreed. Obviously, if you choose a super valuable employee and they become less valuable (in hospital, not working and racking up a million in costs) or dead and no longer producing, that is a poor decision. But that's not what you said. You implied that no employee is worth losing 3 lesser employees and any company in that situation isn't doing it right in the first place.
