As I have repeated, you are evil for supporting the shutdown when the risk to children from pneumonia is greater and you would never consider destroying their lives for that level.

Literally what I linked to previously, that you argued against. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm

You spend a lot of words to say nothing and then still be wrong, must be why you love Kamala. From 2020-2023 pneumonia had 2961 deaths and COVID had 1696 for people under 18 according to the linked information from The CDC. 2961 is more than 1696, meaning pneumonia is worse. As for transmission we would need to test healthy people for flu if we are gonna do that for COVID before we can make any determinations scientifically, along with different flu strains have different degrees of transmission. I would state you are likely correct about that one inconsequential point, but the science is not settled

There is not a remotely intelligent argument to allow a man who is "trans" to compete with women. This case is more complicated and we need to draw a line that might be more difficult. I believe that a Y chromosome in any way should eliminate the competitor. Where is it you draw the line precisely?

I think we need to agree to disagree, you believe the shut downs were proper, I think they were cowardly and evil for the damage they did to kids.

Your link says: Efforts were redoubled with the launch of the Intensified Smallpox Eradication Programme in 1967. The Soviet Union provided freeze-dried vaccine, which became the basis for elimination of smallpox from eastern Europe, China and India. So apparently you are a Soviet since they are responsible for the largest group of people.

We have had flu outbreaks that were much worse in American history and never shut down. I will also point out that H1N1 we had 1100 deaths of under 18 in less than one year. You are discussing 1800 in 4 years and think it is more. I will point out that your best argument is hilariously bad, that since I put the statement " flu or pneumonia" vs "flu and pneumonia" you tried to attack, when my overall point was valid and you can't actually show any numbers that covid os worse than pneumonia

Shocking you did not link to your source because the numbers do not agree with you. You are comparing the people who died with COVID vs the people who died from the flu. If you look at the CDC numbers the COVID # are 1696, while the pneumonia is 2961, and the total of "pneumonia, flu and COVID" is almost 5k. To argue that COVID is worse than pneumonia makes you a liar, and to mistake the #s makes you stupid. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm

First post of yours I have seen, can you expound on this?

COVID is less deadly than the flu or pneumonia for children. We don't shut down schools for those, we should not have shut them down for COVID. My school has had 4 children die from boating accidents, and several more from car accidents, but we don't stop them from attending school. Risk vs reward, you are terrible at assessing it.

Hey remember when you told me I was ignorant for believing in fall 2020 that COVID was not a threat to kids, and you told me I was ignorant about Hunters Laptop, and you told me I was ignorant that Biden was failing fast? Yeah your concept of ignorance is just those smarter than you.

Me recognizing that Americans are required to get more vaccines makes me ignorant? That is some interesting logic

I will go through with you what I have with every stupid liberal on here at one time or another. I live in one of the most diverse areas of the country, teach at a school that is less than 50% white and deal with immigrants every day of my life. I am glad to have legal immigrants in our country. As for the rest of your stupidity, other countries don't live to the standards of US citizens in general, they are more likely to have not been vaccinated and therefore are more likely to carry it and more likely to get infected. I wrote that statement before the news came out that the vast majority of the people ill with the virus were confirmed to be illegals. I don't have any idea where you come up with your concepts of other countries living up the US standards but you sound pathetically ignorant of the rest of the word. I must ask how old are you and where do you live?

The Bud Light dropped 25% of sales over the past year. Inbev fired multiple people and increased their marketing budget around their other beers, there was definitely an impact. I have a cousin whose wife is a big shot with InBev in their NY offices and last year when I saw him I asked why he was drinking Bud Light, which he thought was referencing the whole boycott. My question was since InBev has so many good beers why not get those ones, and he responded that the Bud Light was literally free to employees, the others were not

Agreed, when ever I hear the word "government expert" I know for a fact that most of them are like this woman.

It is not "astonishingly" rare to give them hormone blockers, which is a permanent effect, many of the kids who were trans for a short period had parents who gave them puberty blockers, which is bad for the kid. I think you are badly missing the point that I, and most conservative, believe with trans people. Don't pretend trans people are not mentally ill, don't make me support their delusions, don't let them play women's sports, and don't put them in front of impressionable kids and lie to them.

Both were between 18-22 when all surgeries were done. Both had it scheduled for right after high school graduation, so they would not miss school. It is generally broken up into at least 2 separate surgeries and they could schedule the second until the first had healed. Both are good people who had mentally ill parents and at this point in there life- one is 26 and one is 23- are very unhappy because they went through all this pain and nothing inproved. Helping them means accepting the truth and helping them love themselves

I have had two get surgery that I am certain of because we stay in touch, I have several others who likely did it. The two who stay in touch both have hard times keeping jobs and both at one point worked for Disney during the transition period. One of them is a 6'1" broad shouldered "women" who can't find dates, and is very unhappy. Telling people that the world will agree to their delusions is wrong, telling them that as a psychologist is evil.

I have dealt with trans children since I started teaching in 2013 and I want to help them, you do not want to help them. I don't want people telling children that they can change their sex anymore than telling they can change their species, both are delusions. If an adult wants to pretend they are what they are not, so long as I am not forced to pretend, they can do what they want. You believe I should validate this delusion, you are wrong.

Yes, when we went to games in the 90s we saw the same group of guys get into fights multiple times but kept coming back to other games. I know it was same guys because they would park near us, and sat close to us but they were not friendly once they got hammered.

I was about to add the "I don't even know who you are" meme but I appreciate Canada and hope they fix their political problems also

3.6 billion is a huge amount of money, but if Haslem is fronting the vast majority I would say work with him, but the pay back from that whole project will take a long time to get repaid.

The good reason is to help keep out the people who repeatedly start fights and act like morons. There could be other aspects that are less noble.

The accommodations in Jax is why they don't get SB either and they have nice weather. When Jax had the SB they had to bring in cruise ships to be floating hotels

Good comparison- you need a therapist- this is a well lit path with police who somehow miss the very obvious rapist hiding in plain sight in your analogy. To blame Trump is to admit that everyone needs sto protect themselves because the government is completely incompetent.
