Was there actually any proof that Beethoven really was deaf? The whole thing just seems really far fetched.

Not enough cheese or veggies or pepperoni or bacon.

Looks store bought.

Theyre actually homemade and organic. Now just imagine the pizza you posted on a small bite sized bagel and how much more delicious and convenient it would be.

Mental health is not something to joke about or take lightly. I count my blessings everyday that I have a mother who loves me and raised me right.

Hes already out of office and hes just going to get acquitted by the senate again. Theyre not going to get the 2/3rds they need and there really isnt any point in all of it now. Just another example of Democrats wasting our tax money and time instead of sending out more coronavirus relief checks that they already held up to try and make Trump look bad.

Billionaire Bezos has double standards when it comes to protecting his own interests?! Shocking! The current second richest man in the world is a hypocritical scumbag? Call me surprised!! I bet next you're going to tell me that the vast majority of politicians are greedy liars beholden to the corrupt corporate entities that line their pockets. That'd be crazy, right?!!

I know, right? Maybe you should tell that to all these Biden lovers who act like a career politician is the second coming of Jesus.

Not really sure what youre trying to say because this isnt a conspiracy, its a real thing that Bezos doesnt want his employees using mail in voting when it comes to voting on a union. Also I think people misunderstand the whole fraud or invalid aspect when some of these people complain about mail in voting. Mail in voting within itself is completely legitimate and in fact a lot easier to do and get a larger majority of the voting population to participate in. The problem lies with individuals manipulating how people vote or trying to control how they vote through peer pressure and manipulation. When youre in a voting booth, you have no one looking over your shoulder making sure you vote the right way. With mail in that isnt always the case, and an individual can be pressured or persuaded to vote a certain way in which they wouldnt necessarily if someone wasnt watching over them. That aside, I do believe mail in voting will be part of the new normal moving forward, and some of you hyper leftist need to appreciate and condemn the hypocrisy many of the heads of your party display.

Lmfao. What a hypocrite. This guy who had his newspaper all this past year defend and champion mail in voting suddenly has an issue with it when it involves him. Also isnt it surprising how none of the main news outlet are talking about this? I guess it doesnt fit their narrative as the US becomes more and more like China with its news censorship.

So there are no known risks. Gotcha. Hopefully you allow your wife to make her own choices on this matter.

Well I would strongly recommend trying to get the coronavirus vaccination before going on such a risky endeavor. Would be a real shame to lose the baby because you were irresponsible and disregarded scientific and medical advice.

One car on fire isn't really a riot. It's just vandalism.

The article that I included goes into further detail of the violence and destruction. It was a lot more than just one car on fire.

Isnt your wife going to be 6 months pregnant in April? Seems kinda irresponsible to drag a pregnant person that far along thru a crowded airport and theme park during a pandemic. Im starting to think that all of your post are just lies and troll bait.

SunWuKung420 posted...

I disagree with you entirely.

So youre completely against vaccinations? What I posted was a very moderate approach to vaccinating your child, but it appears that youre completely against any type of vaccination for your child who has no choice or say in the matter.

I'll wager manchild and okrat are the same person.

Why do you say this? Was there something you disagreed with me in my post?

I was always scared of the dark when I was younger.

i would take a burning limo every day over a literal attempt to overthrow the government

I cant even imagine how bad the riots would have been if Trump actually won this election.

Some people dont understand that the vaccine schedule for babies is way different than what it was when they were a child. Newborns these days receive a lot more vaccines in a shorter period of time than ever before. Most can handle this stress on their immune system, but for some it can raise the inflammatory response of the body way too much and actually cause issues. The best approach is to talk to your pediatrician about spacing out the necessary vaccines and possibly not even bothering with some. Im sure that TC agrees with me on this one.

Pretty sad that people would do this.

Is that a pretty normal thing? Ive never experienced it but the thought of it sounds rather intriguing. Was wondering if anyone here has tried it at all and how did it go? I would really like to have these answers.

Then they wont have any excuses and the do nothing party will be exposed for what they truly are, a bunch of lies and empty promises as they continue to line the pockets of big businesses and further destroy the middle class.

If that's as far as your thinking gets you, you really need help. Here, I'll get you started...

See how much milder the flu season has been? Multiply that to get a similar figure to the average flu season. NOW MULTIPLY THE COVID CASES/DEATHS BY THE SAME FACTOR. Just for 'fun', take into consideration that those figures don't factor in how many more deaths there would be on account of hospitals reaching 100% capacity and not being able to help the overflow.

There. That's how a person capable of coherent thought interprets that information.
I doubt that's a perfect parallel, but it gives a good enough idea of the situation.

Maybe instead of angrily smashing the keyboard, take some time to write out your thoughts so they actually make sense. Im sure youre trying to make a good point, although somewhat foolish and shortsighted, but what you wrote out isnt very coherent. Please feel free to try again though.

Makes you wonder why the masks and social distancing are having a great impact on the amount of flu cases but dont seem to be stopping coronavirus cases

Make me! I enjoy hearing your sex hot line conversations!

Is that a Simpsons reference?

I kiss my mom on the lips all the time. Theres nothing weird about it. I think some people are just jealous.

I would definitely try it. Its not like McDonalds would put out something that taste gross. Im sure a lot of people would be pleasantly surprised.

I would imagine that it is a lot of bitter and angry republicans going out to vote.

I guess no one has an answer. Or perhaps they do know the answer, but it is a rather uncomfortable truth that they are not willing to admit. Hopefully these questions are something they meditate on when they sit back and reflect on what has happened over this past year and realize what is going to be happening in the future. Just remember that a majority of you willfully wanted what is in store.

Also I want to add that I believe the vaccine is going to be safe and mostly effective for a large majority of people (for at least a period of time). Its just everything else that is involved with it is what I would be worried about.

Natural immunity seems to only be lasting for about 3 months in most people. It wouldn't surprise me at all if there are plans to give recently-recovered people a booster shot of some sort of extend that further, but for now, you are correct that there's little point in vaccinating somebody that has recently had it, and I expect such people will be among the lowest priority recipients for the vaccines that are rolling out now.

Now that really leads to the next question. If we are only getting 3 months of natural immunity, how is a vaccine going to be any better? Vaccines for this are basically a weaken and controlled form of the virus so our immune system properly responds to an infection. Is everyone going to have to be getting vaccines every three months for the rest of our lives to effectively control this thing?

So if youve already been infected with the COVID-19 virus and survived, shouldnt you already have antibodies for it and dont necessarily need the vaccine? Im a little confused on why people who have already been infected need to get vaccinated because that seems like overkill. Hopefully some of our resident coronavirus experts can explain this to me.

I'm sure all the Republicans who were screaming themselves breathless about how Kavanaugh should be considered completely and totally innocent unless and until security cam footage and DNA testing proving him guilty emerges and that until then we should treat the allegations as though they are completely made up lies will be around to post in this topic in Cuomo's defence any second now...

Hey, look one of them's already here!

Oh... that's weird, it's almost like he's saying the totally opposite thing of what Republicans were saying about Kavanaugh and is instead now parroting what the Democrats had insisted all along in that's case. That's very strange. Heck, I'd almost think it was hypocritical, but I'm sure the Trump cultists have a great explanation that will clear it right up.

Not once did I say Republicans shouldnt be held to the same standard. Everyone should take any sexual assault or harassment allegation seriously no matter who it is against. All youve done is shown your own hypocrisy and bias with you post.

Whats really sad is that since its an accusation against a democrat, the media and other vocal liberals will question it. They did the same thing with very credible allegations against Biden. Everyone needs to take these types of allegations seriously no matter what the political party of the person being accused is.

whoa forbes doesnt like socialism

wonder what an unbiased group like that would have against a system like that

I take it you didnt even read the article because it proves what you said wrong. Well feel free to stay uneducated and spout misinformation then.

so any hardworking people in Sweden or Denmark are just miserable all the time? Their country is beautiful, they work hard at a job they obviously love since theyd be ok doing anything else, and they and their fellow countrymen can get free healthcare whenever they need it

yeah I suppose that would be just intolerable

(Forbes article on Scandinavian socialism)

The problem with socialism is that it punishes hard working individuals while rewarding those who are lazy. In a perfect world it would work. Everyone doing their part and contributing the greater good in a equal share. Reality though is that there are many individuals who will try to do as little as possible because they are going to get the same reward as everyone else. This passes the burden to hard working individuals who then have to pick up the extra slack but still receive the same reward as the person who did nothing. This causes resentment in the hard working individuals and then they start slacking off themselves because whats the point in working hard. This leads to an inevitable collapse of the system because it removes the incentive/reward for hard work.

Whats crazy is that California has had some of the strictest lockdowns out of any state since this started and despite all that their numbers are worse than other big states like Texas and Florida who have been relatively open for business. Really begs to question just how effective are these lockdowns when they really havent shown to decrease the numbers. All I see them doing is killing off small businesses while padding the pockets of the giant corporations and not necessarily keeping anyone safer.

Alright guys and gals lets be adults and stay on topic here. This is about the rate and overall number of deaths. We all agree that coronavirus is a deadly disease, but isnt it surprising that the overall number of deaths across the board isnt statistically different than from other years? Wouldnt you think that there would be more overall deaths in total this year due to the pandemic?

The answer might surprise some of you

Am I overreacting

I would say so. Its close family. If youre worried about possibly infecting others, go get tested before they come. If youre worried about them possibly infecting you, ask them to get tested before visiting. Its really not that hard to compromise and make things work and not upset your wife.

I like The Weekends new album After Hours.

It was cold, wet and hungry. It followed my co-worker and jumped into her car. It was clearly abandoned.

That looks like a nice healthy looking cat to me and clearly not one thats been abandoned at all. The cat probably got accidentally left outside and was cold so it followed your co-worker. The right thing to do would just to let it be because obviously that cat has a home and trusts people. You guys literally kidnapped the poor thing and now you probably have a very worried and scared owner.

Why dont you just return it to where you found it? That way it can go back to its home. Sounds like the smart and responsible thing to do instead of kidnapping it and then sending it off to a shelter to die.

I cannot remember a time when Fox did anything but fear-mongering and lies.

You can honestly say the same exact thing about CNN.

Some of you are really naive if you actually think Trump is going to jail once his presidency is over.

DoubleOSnake posted...

but, are you a believer in trump's massive voter fraud allegations?

Like I said in another topic, I believe voter fraud absolutely took place, but there are definitely incidences of it on both sides and its not to the extent of where it would sway the results. The interesting thing will be how far Trump takes it and if the courts will throw out all the mail in votes because of a few occurrences of fraud. Overall I would like to know how much fraud actually does occur and this would be a good election for that type of audit. For how much Democrats complained of Russian interference back in 2016, you think they would welcome this type of investigation as well.

Absolutely. Biden only won because of the mail in ballots. A good chunk of those mail in voters wouldnt have gone out to the polls like usual and Trump would have won handily. Basically it would have been what it was looking like late Tuesday night of the election with him ahead in most swing states.

adjl posted...

not that Republicans necessarily want it to be easier to vote, given that they tend to do worse with higher turnouts, but that's another issue

Besides Trump more than likely barely losing, they did just fine with a record turnout. The country is pretty evenly split when it comes to the numbers of Republicans and Democrats. This falsehood that a large majority of the nation is liberal is spurred on by internet echo chambers and not on facts.

It's almost like hyper-appealing to only your most far right crazed members of your base and intentionally pissing off over half of the country for over 4 years is...a bad political strategy.

Over 69 million people voted for Trump.

Zareth posted...

Trump will NEVER accept proof of his loss as being fair though.

Voter fraud has definitely happened though. Whether it be dead people voting or people voting twice, it happened. The thing is this type of stuff has more than likely happened many times before, is on both sides, and is not too a scale where it would actually have an impact on the election. Will be interesting to see what happens as he pursues it, but I still guarantee him leaving peacefully if he does lose.
