Political Discussion
Exactly. I truly don't get how PP and her ilk don't understand this. Republicans are always preaching personal responsibility and taking accountability for one's actions, but then turn around and while that they don't like the consequences of their choices. Everyone has a choice. PP just doesn't like the price she has to pay to exercise it, which is a completely different issue. We all should've realized this a while ago, but the pandemic laid it bare: Republicans don't actually value personal responsibility or being held to account for their actions; they just don't want to be told what to do, while also wanting to tell everyone else what they should do. |
To the "operation warp speed" poster - what does that have to do with the question posed? What is the solution for inflation/the economy NOW? Not in 2020? |
Sure you were (wink). But, that aside, how? In concrete terms, please? |
"word salad" lover is back . You should try other catchy phrase to dismiss valid arguments. Calling it word salad just shows that you didn't think for a minute before you wrote it, because you literally said nothing else in that "word salad" of yours. You also missed the point. We aren't talking about vaccines or how good or bad they are, we are talking about MANDATES. Mandates are wrong, no matter how you spin it. Even triple vaxxed are on board and realizing this now.
If you want to debate me on vax efficacy or safety, I don't think this forum is appropriate for it. |
There is no mandate. Isn’t wearing clothing mandated? Why are you not protesting THAT? |
I have no incentive to lie. There is NOTHING WRONG with being a Republican, it's legal party anyone can vote for and pretty much at least half of our country. I don't agree with them on some issues, that's why I am not a Republican. I have nothing to win pretending |
There ARE mandates, are you f-ing gaslighting me? I already explained to you that many people are still subjected to mandates at work, and that some local governments are doing what SCOTUS had banned as unconstitutional (OSHA wide-sweeping mandates). The places that had the vaxxports and removed them didn't say they won't come back. In fact, NYC is under the color coded alert system where measures WILL be re-introduced should cases rise. It's a system already in place. Digital vax system is also being under development and will be deploying to be available in many states including Red states for the "next time" |
There are no mandates. You can choose to not get vaccinated. You're just whining because you don't like the price you have to pay to rejoin civilization. Buck up and take some personal responsibility for your actions. |
Of all the false analogies used to normalize masking of mandates (seatbelts, helmets, speed limits, drunk driving, etc) the Clothing one is the dumbest. |
It's actually not. You can't choose to not wear a seatbelt while driving. You can choose to not wear clothing, you just can't participate in public activities. But in any event, this is all lost on you. You've already shown us all that you're not a serious thinker. Oh well. |
Can you please explain your opinion? You merely stated your conclusion, not your reasoning. It seems pretty analogous. Cloth. Item that you wear. Only a rule when in public. It seems almost exactly the same other than the politics. |
If I live in NYC I cannot work at all, is this not a mandate? If am a college student in most colleges, I cannot attend and finish my degree if I don't take a booster (not just if I am not double vaxed, but if I am not ok signing up for the vax subscription plan). If I am a school athlete and let's say already had Covid and don't want the vax then I am unable to practice and play. If you are referring to vaxxports as the price to join society, then this is segregation. Nobody should be forced to inject something into their bodies against their will to have access to amenities that all of us have access to. And no, I don't have to pay this price, I am not an experimental animal, I don't have to sign up to be a lab rat for big Pharma and to appease our petty shallow politicians and idiots like you. To control pandemics we need treatments. Treatments have different risk/benefit ratio than vaccines and people are more amendable to taking treatments when they are ALREADY SICK and especially very sick or sick and in risk category. I am talking about early treatments, not hospital treatments. Vaccines administered to like as if we are chicken at a factory poultry farm aren't a solution, because we are human, and individual health and the social contract where our health is between us and our doctor must not be broken. vax mandates break this social contract where we have our bodily autonomy and choice. And if you are pro-choice on abortion then you should understanding this very well, but you are a hypocrite |
Vax isn't an item you "wear" , it's a part of your body whether you are in private or in public, how about this for a start. Maybe compare this to masks, and even than there are logical flaws.
1) Clothing doesn't have to be mandated, people need clothing to protect against weather elements and unwanted sexual advances. Even if it were legal to walk around naked, most would not choose this option. 2) Clothing is removable and changeable, vax isn't. 3) Clothing doesn't cover your breathing orifices that nature intended to be open for your body to function. Your mouth and nose also serve other functions : olfactory and communication. Clothing was invented to cover your private parts and to protect against weather elements. You cannot survive without clothing unless you live on a tropical island. |
Clothing is optional at nudist colonies, they exist, and nudist beaches aren't exactly illegal. You actually can be a nudist in some settings and still get to keep your job, go to college and practice sports, dine indoors, travel internationally. All you have to do is put whatever scant minimum clothing is required and here you go. In your community and at home you can be naked to your heart's content. You cannot remove the vax from your system when your work shift is over or after you come back from dinner or go on a school break. |
You have a choice to move. You have a choice to attend a college without a vaccine requirement. You have a choice to not play football. You have a choice to visit bars and restaurants and movie theaters. We all pay a price to live in civilization. The vaccines are safe. There are reams of evidence indicating so. There always has been - and always will be - an interest for the state to protect public health. This is why you were ~~~fOrCiBlY iNjEcTeD aGaInSt YoUr WiLl~~~ with the polio vaccine, the smallpox vaccine, the measles vaccine, the rubella vaccine, etc etc, in order to attend school. You are not living in reality. I do hope that you decide to rejoin us one day. |
