COVID-19 - On the Ground

[JKLivin]

I'm not even sure what that means.

He won't bet against Stockton finding the dead bodies of 150 athletes and millions who've died from the vaccines?

Or someday he'll be able to attend games again?

That Gonzaga will back down from their over-the-top knee jerk response. He also won’t apologize for expressing his opinion.

[PhDhawk]

It's not an opinion. It's a made up fiction.

Game of thrones being a documentary filmed in real time isn't an opinion. It's just wrong.

Facts matter. Reality matters. Truth matters.

Meh. I can’t stand Rogers. I was glad he lost last night.

I grew up pretending to be Stockton on the hoop behind my house. Admired his scrappiness and intensity.

I have no idea if his claims are true. I do miss the days when people could express their opinions without being vilified, though. This country has become a scary place.

Making shit up is not an opinion.

If I came out and said that eating an apple a day gives you a 500% increase in chances of getting herpes, that's not an opinion.

Yup. People also wouldn’t vilify you and accuse you of wanting people of color everywhere to die of herpes or of wrecking the worldwide market for apple growers of color.

What ever happened to just saying “I don’t agree with that” and letting it go?

You're from a generation that openly ridicules everything that doesn't fit with its notions of "normal."

It's also a generation that has, until recently, one that touts the importance of respecting authority and "just complying."

Stockton broke a rule, several times, and after being warned several times. So he got tossed. You have to be a pretty damn whiny snowflake to bitch about that and think it's the unfair world out to get you.

He didn't lose his tickets for his opinion. He lost them for not following the rules.

I guess I was assuming from the post that he was only guilty of not supporting the narrative about vaccines. If he was doing something like refusing to wear a mask to Gonzaga games and continued to do so after being warned, I have no problem with him being told that he is not welcome until he agrees to mask up in the arena. I don't feel like I need to wear a mask when I go out, but I am also aware that it makes others feel safer, so I put one on. I don't like it, but I do it anyway.

Facts no longer matter to the QOP

[pdub]

That documentary kinda fell flat in the last couple seasons there.

Wonder what Bran is up to these days?
Bet he can get into Gonzaga games

Vaccine narrative?

There are 2 narratives: Facts and Fiction.

What’s your narrative, dipshit?

I’m trying to figure out what the truth is. Facts lose their power when the population loses faith in the people disseminating them. I don’t trust Brandon or Fauci or Tedros, thus I feel iffy about what they say.

Note also that I made my point without personally attacking or insulting you. You should try it sometime.

It’s not an attack or insult if it’s true.

[PhDhawk]

I love the don't trust facial crowd.

Reasons not to trust fauci:

1. He gets paid a lot (for a govt employee)
2. He's had the same job a long time.
3. He said not to wear face masks before the virus was known to be transmissible through respiratory droplets.

The first two are because he's GOOD at his job, non-partisan, and cares about what he does.

I also love how name-calling only counts when it's directed at other bored members.

So unhappy. Sad.

The point being, unlike you and Cascadia, among others, I don't try to pick fights with people. Name-calling and telling people to f-off would be beneath someone of your intelligence, education, and pedigree I would think.

The difference is, I may refer to Brandon and Cankles, but were I to meet them or carry on correspondence with them, I would be polite and respectful, even if I didn't like them or agree with their point of view. If you want to stoop to that level, be my guest.

There’s no more figuring out to do on this, though. Not on the major points anyway.

So you're fake.

Good to know.

It’s called being polite.

You're trying to figure out what the truth is regarding his claim? Great news, someone already looked into every alleged case for you. https://www.factcheck.org/2021/12/scich ... -vaccines/

You're talking to someone who thinks it's polite to insult people as long as you only do it behind their backs.
