• Monkey Business

    From Aaron Thomas@1:275/99 to All on Sunday, May 22, 2022 14:54:03
    There was a moment in the media's despicable past when they were complaining about "Trump's weak response to the pandemic." Liberal governors and mayors also complained about "Trump not closing the border" when covid was knocking
    at our door.

    Kids cried when their parents died of covid, and they suffer even more by having school taken away from them (by Democrat laboratory viruses.) So what
    do liberal people (cold-hearted) vote for? They vote for record-breaking southern border migrants, who come from all over the world, and these liberals are especially voting for more viruses when they vote for people (Biden) who create the biggest border crisis ever (More than 8 million walk-in migrants since 2020.)

    The best thing about Monkey Pox (aside from its cool name) is that it's capable of creating yet another epidemic in the USA. There will be more shutdowns, school closings, deaths, and Democrat manipulation (more fake vaccines, masks, favoritism for leftist businesses like Walmart.) I won't be surprised if Monkey Pox helps prevent this year's elections from taking place.

    It could have been avoided. Monkey Pox could have stayed in Africa, but Biden wanted it here, and the president knows best. Oddly, he's now saying "We're working on it hard, to figure out what we do."

    What do you think he means by "figure out what we do?" I don't think he means he's gonna close the border, because that would cripple our booming human trafficking industry. I think he means "figure out what we do" to maximize outbreaks (flooding hospitals is another Biden trademark) and especially "figure out" how the left is going to profit from it like they did with covid.

    Some media, perhaps, and the media saying the first were not necessarily the same media saying the second.

    COVID is not a "Democrat laboratory virus."

    So
    what do liberal people (cold-hearted) vote for? They vote for record-breaking southern border migrants, who come from all over the world, and these liberals are especially voting for more viruses when
    they vote for people (Biden) who create the biggest border crisis ever (More than 8 million walk-in migrants since 2020.)

    Ah, the "dirty immigrant" argument.

    The best thing about Monkey Pox (aside from its cool name) is that it's capable of creating yet another epidemic in the USA. There will be more shutdowns, school closings, deaths,

    Possibly, possibly not.

    and Democrat manipulation (more fake
    vaccines, masks, favoritism for leftist businesses like Walmart.)

    Vaccines, masks, and perceived favoritism are not "Democrat manipulation." While the Walton family does lean Democrat, they are not homogenous in their political beliefs. The president and CEO of Walmart, Doug McMillon, has a history of supporting Republican candidates and was also an advisor to President Trump.

    I
    won't be surprised if Monkey Pox helps prevent this year's elections
    from taking place.

    Prediction noted. However, it was Republicans who tried to stop the 2020 election.

    It could have been avoided. Monkey Pox could have stayed in Africa, but Biden wanted it here, and the president knows best.

    I seriously doubt that Biden wanted any such thing. Your racism is showing again, though.

    Oddly, he's now
    saying "We're working on it hard, to figure out what we do."

    Yep. He's not claiming that Monkey Pox is a hoax, or that it'll be gone in a few weeks, or that it's "just like the flu" or anything like that. It's not even a pandemic yet and he's got people on it. Imagine that.

    What do you think he means by "figure out what we do?"

    He means that they're working on developing a plan to deal with the virus.

    I don't think he
    means he's gonna close the border, because that would cripple our
    booming human trafficking industry.

    And we're back to the racist "dirty immigrant" argument. Also, our refugee programs are not "human trafficking," no matter how many times you try to say they are.

    I think he means "figure out what we
    do" to maximize outbreaks (flooding hospitals is another Biden
    trademark)

    We already know how to do that. We tell people it's a hoax, that it'll be
    "gone by Easter," and that it's "just like the flu." That worked last time, anyway. I think Biden's trying to figure out how to minimize outbreaks,
    though.

    and especially "figure out" how the left is going to profit
    from it like they did with covid.

    How exactly did the left profit from COVID?

    Jeff.

    already have experience successfully dealing with outbreaks. We also have a vaccine that's 85% effective.

    But don't worry, I'm sure the redneck witch doctors and talk-radio snake oil salesmen will come up with some bizarre and entirely ineffective "alternate therapy" to protect you from the evil doctors.

    COVID is not a "Democrat laboratory virus."

    You're right because it goes beyond Democrats and it goes beyond the USA. It's a reptilian laboratory virus. Putin and other world leaders are involved in it.

    Look Jeff, you may or may not realize it, but you're a reptilian. You defend all things Democrat, which is a major indicator. Unless you were molested by a Republican scoutmaster back in the 60s, then your distaste for godliness makes no sense in any warm-blooded humanly way.

    Good. Work-from-home, curbside delivery, and even doorstep delivery are how
    the 21st century should be. I don't think that they had advance knowledge of the COVID pandemic, though.

    BS. They tried to "stop the count" as soon as it wasn't going their way.

    That may be your belief, but it is far from that of everyone, and far from proven. In fact, you can't prove it; you have to "take it on faith." You have to accept it without proof.

    What we don't get with the borders closed -- and we're talking about visitors from Africa here, not Mexico/South-Central America -- is non-white
    immigrants. That's the underlying agenda here.

    Actually, some companies had already started on curbside pickup long before the scamdemic. The place where I used to work did it back in 2010 and were already contracting with services like Shipt before the scamdemic started.

    Walmart was just watching what their competitors were doing and starting their own.

    The scamdemic merely accellerated the adoption of curbside pickup and forced companies who didn't have it on their radar into doing it as well.

    They tried to stop Nevada from accepting ballots 10 days after election day.

    In other words, they were trying to prevent election officials from violating election laws (worse than they already were).

    covid strains, and on devising their plan for world domination in the aftermath. Putin is deviating because he is even more greedy than the others.

    Putin's not supposed to be annexing Ukraine, and Biden's not supposed to be handing $40 billion to Ukraine, but Putin has given him no choice. This is not sitting well with the other reptilians, and they are rapidly losing unity, and soon more of their secrets will be uncovered.

    What's not greedy about his invasion? Why does your BS detector only work when there's a reference made about Putin being the greedy one out of the bunch? That's hilariously suspicious! You have the inside scoop! ;)

    Putin invaded Ukraine to keep them from seeking membership in NATO. And why would Ukraine seek NATO membership, anyway? Was there ever serious risk of them being invaded?

    That's greedy in an intent to annex sort of way. You and your people have
    every right to be angry with Putin. He's a loose end, and the Clintons already showed us what they do with loose ends.

    I know that if I had plans to control the world with my friends and then one guy screwed us all over half-way through the hustle, I'd be pretty pissed. And the people he has angered are powerful, dangerous people. The media is dead serious when they say "Putin has a dark future ahead of him."

    The rest is recycled David Icke garbage.

    I never heard of him. Does he talk about reptilians? He could be one of them, but undercover, trying to pass around a "change in narrative" about his own people. To get his name out there and sell a book, and get his name mentioned by you, he almost has to be one.

    Trump didn't strengthen it. He built a symbolic wall (or parts of one) that
    do nothing to stop anyone.

    You're also somehow assuming that the Monkey Pox cases so far in the US -- which were in Massachussetts, Ney York, and now Florida -- arrived over the southern border. The Massachussetts patient had recently traveled to Canada and the Florida Department of Health said that the case there appeared to be related to "international travel." The New York case hasn't been conclusively identified as Monkey Pox yet.

    Do you propose banning international travel for all Americans, as well?

    What's not greedy about his invasion? Why does your BS detector only
    work when there's a reference made about Putin being the greedy one out
    of the bunch? That's hilariously suspicious! You have the inside scoop!
    ;)

    It wasn't that sentence that I was referring to; it was the one(s) before it, where you described the other world leaders.

    Putin invaded Ukraine to keep them from seeking membership in NATO. A why would Ukraine seek NATO membership, anyway? Was there ever serio risk of them being invaded?
    That's greedy in an intent to annex sort of way. You and your people have every right to be angry with Putin. He's a loose end, and the Clintons already showed us what they do with loose ends.

    The Clintons didn't murder anyone, if that's what you're attemting to refer
    to. And I don't think the Clintons are in any position to have Putin murdered now.

    I know that if I had plans to control the world with my friends and then one guy screwed us all over half-way through the hustle, I'd be pretty pissed. And the people he has angered are powerful, dangerous people.
    The media is dead serious when they say "Putin has a dark future ahead
    of him."

    Or maybe they're just pissed at him for invading another sovereign country. Every nation's own sovereignty relies on not letting that go unpunished.

    The rest is recycled David Icke garbage.
    I never heard of him. Does he talk about reptilians? He could be one of them, but undercover, trying to pass around a "change in narrative"
    about his own people. To get his name out there and sell a book, and get his name mentioned by you, he almost has to be one.

    Oh, did I mention that his preferred medium was books? No, I don't believe I did. It's pretty obvious that you know at least one thing about him, and
    you're lying.

    what do liberal people (cold-hearted) vote for? They vote for record-breaking southern border migrants, who come from all over the world, and these liberals are especially voting for more viruses when they vote for people (Biden) who create the biggest border crisis ever (More than 8 million walk-in migrants since 2020.)

    Ah, the "dirty immigrant" argument.

    It would be interesting to compare a map of countries where monkey pox is common, or where it is on the rise now, with a map of countries who
    considered US visitors "dirty immigrants" during COVID.

    Vaccines, masks, and perceived favoritism are not "Democrat manipulation." While the Walton family does lean Democrat, they are not homogenous in their political beliefs. The president and CEO of Walmart, Doug McMillon, has a history of supporting Republican candidates and was also an advisor to President Trump.

    It was not just perceived. Any big box stores were treated more favorably
    (you can stay open) when compared to smaller stores (you must close) in
    many areas. I don't know that there was a straight political tie-in there (i.e. which way the owners leaned politically) but it certainly did
    help those larger stores do away with any unwanted locally-owned
    competition.

    There are a lot of smaller stores and restaurants here that are closed for
    good as a direct result of having no customers during those periods. OTOH,
    we did not lose any Wal-Marts, Krogers (regional grocery chain), or Lowes stores to COVID restrictions.

    It could have been avoided. Monkey Pox could have stayed in Africa, but Biden wanted it here, and the president knows best.

    I seriously doubt that Biden wanted any such thing. Your racism is showing again, though.

    I would consider it racism only if Monkey Pox originates from somewhere
    outside of Africa (since he mentioned it specifically). If that is where
    it originates, it is not racist to point that out. I think that would
    actually make it a scientific fact, right?

    Oddly, he's now
    saying "We're working on it hard, to figure out what we do."

    Yep. He's not claiming that Monkey Pox is a hoax, or that it'll be gone in a few weeks, or that it's "just like the flu" or anything like that. It's not even a pandemic yet and he's got people on it. Imagine that.

    Are the countries where it originates trying actively to hide, or outright deny, its existence?

    and especially "figure out" how the left is going to profit
    from it like they did with covid.

    How exactly did the left profit from COVID?

    They used it to win an election.

    Walmart was prepared for curbside pickup ahead of the pandemic. They knew what
    was coming, and they were not willing to lose business as a result of it.

    I don't see a direct tie-in there. I think they did it to compete with regional grocery chains who were already doing the same thing.

    What's racist about it? Monkey Pox is prevalent in Africa. Back in the old days, when the USA was capable of screening migrants, Monkey Pox would have been a disqualifier.

    It should still be.

    why the fallout. That's why cousin Vladimir went rogue. We'll still treat you

    I think that Vladimir went rogue for one of two reasons.

    (1) he, like Hitler, has too much power and, possibly like Hitler, may also have Parkinson's dementia, or
    (2) more likely, he got tired of how the West was always demonizing Russia
    and talking about them like they were still the USSR, got paranoid, and
    decided Russia needed some buffer states to protect them from the West.

    #2 has historical precident as Moscow has created buffer states before to protect from interference/invasions. The USSR did it, and a Czar or two
    did it before them.

    That's not the point. We're also not closing the borders for COVID, so why close them for Monkey Pox?

    Last I checked, Title 42 is still in effect. The borders are not closed, right, but border patrols can still turn asylum seakers away for health concerns.

    Why aren't you calling for testing instead of
    travel bans? Wouldn't the most rights-conscious response involve the solution that infringes on the fewest rights while achieving the same result?

    If we have enough testing kits/facilites for them and our citizens, yes. If
    we don't, no.

    Perhaps. However, Aaron is desperate to use any excuse to prevent
    immigration. For example, his real problem with the federal government declaring its COVID response over is that doing so would allow Biden to
    undo Trump's invocation of Title 42 migrant restrictions.

    We have not been in a store, save to get vaccinated, in years. It could be
    that the bigger stores were better able to adapt (curbside service,
    delivery, etc.) than the smaller ones. I think "survival of the fittest" definitely played a part, and with more resources at their disposal the
    bigger companies were better equipped to survive.

    Are the countries where it originates trying actively to hide, or
    outright deny, its existence?

    Nope. It's been around for decades. Unlike COVID, this is not a new virus. We know how it works and it's sufficiently closely-related to smallpox that we have a smallpox vaccine that's 85% effective against monkey pox. In previous outbreaks, that's apparently been enough to bring it under control that a monkey-pox-specific vaccine never needed to be developed.

    and especially "figure out" how the left is going to profit

    Not really. Trump lost an election in part due to his abysomal handling of it.

    allow testing for Monkey Pox either; that would cause some of them to not come.

    Biden does, in fact, "allow" COVID testing of migrants for COVID:

    I'm talking about Biden not "allowing" us to mandate testing on migrants despite the fact that he has mandated visa applicants to test negative.

    Trump didn't strengthen it. He built a symbolic wall (or parts of one) that do nothing to stop anyone.

    That's not what border patrol have been saying and it's not what Tom Homan has been saying either; what you're saying is just narrative to cover tracks for 'the collective.'

    Do you propose banning international travel for all Americans, as well?

    Only if the border can be fixed first. It would be very snakelike to forbid Americans from leaving while allowing all of the world to enter. Your people are not going to allow the border to be fixed because this site is not on
    their new map.

    I know what you mean, and I saw it being installed at other stores in advance too, but there's something erie about how well it worked out
    for Walmart.

    I think that's because they were already moving in that direction and the scamdemic just accellerated their plans.

    Big retailers tend to move slow if they don't have a pressing need. But they are willing to push hard if they see a benefit to their bottom line.

    Notice how most of the leftists don't debate very
    well? They don't have higher level brain functions. They stick to
    idiotic basics, like "Whites enslaved blacks." They NEVER stop talking about color, and as idiotic as it is, it seems effective, but it's just not the warm-blooded human approach that Republicans take when they
    seek support.

    That is an interesting theory. I always thought they were morons.

    They're slithering around all over the place, so I'm trying to be
    tolerant of them.

    They are tested. See the Politifact article I posted to you.

    Some are tested, some are not. It's not mandatory. While CBP is busy with thousands of walk-ins, thousands more are skipping the line and paying for expedited illegal entry. And neither one of us are dumb enough to debate about illegals getting tested.

    Not entirely. The judge felt that the Biden administration didn't offer a good, sufficiently non-arbirtary reason for ending it. The ruling wasn't on the merits of the policy itself.

    Hmm, that sounds like diagreement to me.

    way for the virus to get here, but sure, this is in addition to other ways that Biden lets Monkey Pox enter the country freely, such as not locking down the country.
    No, they don't. By the time we knew it was here, it was already here.

    Just like Monkey Pox is already here.

    What's wrong with locking down after the virus had arrived? Lock it down, quarrantine the people who are infected, don't let more people arrive until we learn how to test for the virus. But no, neither Trump nor Biden cared that much All they cared about was how their words and actions would affect their voters. Biden missed this opportunity: "Trump was too careless to lock down
    the country to stop the spread, but I ain't scared to do it." But of course that approach would be counterproductive to the "fill er up" campaign at the border.

    He would have been the best choice for president. I was a kid when he ran, but I vaguely remember the media (SNL) attacking him. They knew that he was unbuyable, sorta like how Trump is, and that he had negative feelings about bureaucracy, so they painted him as a cracker who wanted to bring back slavery.

    It would be interesting to compare a map of countries where monkey pox is
    common, or where it is on the rise now, with a map of countries who considered US visitors "dirty immigrants" during COVID.

    Perhaps. However, Aaron is desperate to use any excuse to prevent immigration. For example, his real problem with the federal government declaring its COVID response over is that doing so would allow Biden to
    undo Trump's invocation of Title 42 migrant restrictions.

    Per the courts, for the time being, he has nothing to worry about there.

    It was not just perceived. Any big box stores were treated more favorably (you can stay open) when compared to smaller stores (you must close) in many areas. I don't know that there was a straight political tie-in there (i.e. which way the owners leaned politically) but it certainly did help those larger stores do away with any unwanted locally-owned competition.
    Where was the "Democrat manipulation," then?

    It was typically Democrat politicians who were the ones setting such restrictions. In my state, it was a Democrat governor and two Democrat
    mayors who shut down smaller businesses and threatened churches that wanted
    to hold *outdoor*, drive-up Easter services in leau of having indoor gatherings.

    In other states (Aaron's New York, Ron's Michigan, and several others), it
    was also Democrat governors who closed small businesses down while allowing bigger ones to stay open.

    If you believe that their actions had consequences, like the loss of jobs
    and permanent business closures, that were detrimental to our country, then there is your potential for crying "manipulation."

    There are a lot of smaller stores and restaurants here that are closed for good as a direct result of having no customers during those periods. OTOH, we did not lose any Wal-Marts, Krogers (regional grocery chain), or Lowes stores to COVID restrictions.

    We have not been in a store, save to get vaccinated, in years. It could be that the bigger stores were better able to adapt (curbside service,
    delivery, etc.) than the smaller ones. I think "survival of the fittest" definitely played a part, and with more resources at their disposal the bigger companies were better equipped to survive.

    The bigger stores were allowed to have customers indoors. They didn't have
    to change anything.

    I would consider it racism only if Monkey Pox originates from somewhere outside of Africa (since he mentioned it specifically). If that is where
    it originates, it is not racist to point that out. I think that would actually make it a scientific fact, right?

    One of the two confirmed cases in the US apparently came from Canada.

    Yes, but where did the Canadian get it from? I have visited there and don't remember wild monkeys being a thing. Now, if it was bear or moose pox, I
    can confirm that both those animals are common there, as are deer and wild turkeys.

    (2) more likely, he got tired of how the West was always demonizing Russia and talking about them like they were still the USSR, got paranoid, and decided Russia needed some buffer states to protect them from the West.

    #2 has historical precident as Moscow has created buffer states before to
    protect from interference/invasions. The USSR did it, and a Czar or two did it before them.

    Well, that's certainly an interesting way to make people stop comparing Russia to the USSR.

    I think it is more along the lines of "if I cannot beat them, join them,"
    but more like, "if that is what they believe, I might as well stop
    pretending."

    That's not the point. We're also not closing the borders for COVID, so close them for Monkey Pox?
    Last I checked, Title 42 is still in effect. The borders are not closed,
    right, but border patrols can still turn asylum seakers away for health concerns.

    How does that negate what I said?

    Not necessarily, but it does mean they can if they choose to.

    Why aren't you calling for testing instead of
    travel bans? Wouldn't the most rights-conscious response involve the so
    that infringes on the fewest rights while achieving the same result?
    If we have enough testing kits/facilites for them and our citizens, yes. If we don't, no.

    Should we refuse re-entry to our own citizens for lack of tests?

    No because they are citizens. There is a difference. We can always
    quarantine them if there is reason to suspect they might be ill or carrying.

    The Baltic States and any of the "Iron Curtain" (sometimes puppet) states,
    like Poland, Hungary, Romania, East Germany, etc. They also tried to
    absorb Finland but were not successful.

    IIRC, Ukraine (as the Kiev Rus) was one that was independent before it was absorbed (the first time) as a buffer.

    evidence to support the existence of? Do you make a habit of believing in things that only other people can see?

    I think there's a rule against religious talk in this echo so I'll weasel out of this argument.

    # You can discuss religion in here but no proselytizing (see the next
    policy).

    # No personal attacks against one's person, their family, or their beliefs.
    This goes with the policy above.

    So it is ok to discuss your own religious beliefs, and how they influence
    your political beliefs, so long as you don't try to convert someone to your religion or disrespect the religious beliefs of others.

    BS. Total BS.

    What's not greedy about his invasion? Why does your BS detector only work when
    there's a reference made about Putin being the greedy one out of the bunch? That's hilariously suspicious! You have the inside scoop! ;)

    I think he was calling out the possiblye insinuation that our government was
    in collusion with Putin in allowing him to invade, i.e....

    I know that if I had plans to control the world with my friends and then one guy screwed us all over half-way through the hustle, I'd be pretty pissed. And
    the people he has angered are powerful, dangerous people. The media is dead serious when they say "Putin has a dark future ahead of him."

    Biden does, in fact, "allow" COVID testing of migrants for COVID:
    I'm talking about Biden not "allowing" us to mandate testing on migrants despite the fact that he has mandated visa applicants to test negative.

    Well, that's something quite different, isn't it? Nevertheless, migrants are tested.

    We should be testing them for any communicable diseases that are popular in their areas of the World and/or that are part of a pandemic. That should
    be mandatory, and I think it used to be.

    Would it? Wouldn't every single person stopped from coming here from somewhere else protect you from the Monkey Pox just that much more? It's not just migrants that cross the border, but they seem to be the only ones you care about.

    Hello Aaron,

    It's a little more than "indirect" about it, in places calling for
    mediums to be stoned to death. Also, Jesus never mentioned
    homosexuality.

    My mistake, but it's my understanding that there's something in the bible against homosexuality.

    Sodom and Gomorrah were done away with. As well as Lot's wife.
    Problem solved.

    The point that you made is a perfect one too: "mediums to be stoned to death."
    That's because they knew that mediums would reveal their secrets later in time!

    That is why Moses went up the mountain to talk with the Burning Bush.

    The bible has had too many authors. I don't follow it. I just follow the 10
    commandments and I support the Catholic church any way I can.

    Lemme see -

    Jews have the Torah (five books). The 10 commandments you talk about
    are in there, but somewhere along the line the rest of them got lost,
    as Jews count 613.

    Jews also have the Pentatauch. But nobody reads those writings.
    And that other part that Christians read is considered taboo as
    being the rantings of a crazy rabbi.

    Jesus said it is impossible for anybody to keep all of them.
    Which why he was pegged to a tree to pay for his sins.
    This was before Peter became Pope, who was never able to
    forgive him for his sins.

    Nobody is sure how many books Christians have. Catholics say 72.
    Orthodox say 79. Protestants say 66. Others say some other number.
    With over 40,000+ denominations, it is kinda hard to say exactly
    how many number of books Christians might have ...

    Have you considered giving it the "Fauci treatment" and assuming it's
    all lies because it contains at least one statement with which you
    disagree?

    Yea I sorta have because like I said, the bible isn't who I am. It's a book
    but I've got a short attention span and I ain't decoding that thing. "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism" was a hard enough read for me.

    Economics is the dismal science. Confusing that with religion
    would be a major sin. Probably unforgiveable and wind up damning
    you to hell.

    On 24 May 2022, Mike Powell said the following...
    Perhaps. However, Aaron is desperate to use any excuse to prevent immigration. For example, his real problem with the federal government declaring its COVID response over is that doing so would allow Biden to undo Trump's invocation of Title 42 migrant restrictions.
    Per the courts, for the time being, he has nothing to worry about there.

    Not so. Removing the emergency declaration would remove the rationale for invoking Title 42. The court's ruling applied to removing the Title 42 restrictions while the declaration was still in effect.

    It was not just perceived. Any big box stores were treated more favorably (you can stay open) when compared to smaller stores (you close) in many areas. I don't know that there was a straight polit tie-in there (i.e. which way the owners leaned politically) but it certainly did help those larger stores do away with any unwanted locally-owned competition.
    Where was the "Democrat manipulation," then?
    It was typically Democrat politicians who were the ones setting such restrictions. In my state, it was a Democrat governor and two Democrat mayors who shut down smaller businesses and threatened churches that wanted to hold *outdoor*, drive-up Easter services in leau of having indoor gatherings.

    Huh. Our (extremely) Republican governor and legislature closed some
    businesses and restricted others to 25% or 50% occupancy. The effect was
    strong enough on businesses that we later had our lieutenant governor suggesting that we sacrifice grandma for the economy.

    In other states (Aaron's New York, Ron's Michigan, and several others),
    it was also Democrat governors who closed small businesses down while allowing bigger ones to stay open.

    Here, it was all Republican.

    If you believe that their actions had consequences, like the loss of jobs and permanent business closures, that were detrimental to our country, then there is your potential for crying "manipulation."

    Except that things got so bad here that the lieutenant governor was
    suggesting that we throw the elderly under the bus in favor of the economy.

    There are a lot of smaller stores and restaurants here that are clo for good as a direct result of having no customers during those per OTOH, we did not lose any Wal-Marts, Krogers (regional grocery chai or Lowes stores to COVID restrictions.

    Same here. And we have a Republican governor and legislature.

    We have not been in a store, save to get vaccinated, in years. It could that the bigger stores were better able to adapt (curbside service, delivery, etc.) than the smaller ones. I think "survival of the fittest" definitely played a part, and with more resources at their disposal the bigger companies were better equipped to survive.
    The bigger stores were allowed to have customers indoors. They didn't have to change anything.

    They didn't have to, but they did nonetheless. Perhaps that had something to
    do with it.

    I would consider it racism only if Monkey Pox originates from somew outside of Africa (since he mentioned it specifically). If that is where
    it originates, it is not racist to point that out. I think that wo actually make it a scientific fact, right?
    One of the two confirmed cases in the US apparently came from Canada.
    Yes, but where did the Canadian get it from? I have visited there and don't remember wild monkeys being a thing. Now, if it was bear or moose pox, I can confirm that both those animals are common there, as are deer and wild turkeys.

    It doesn't matter. Someone went to Canada and came back with Monkey Pox.
    Monkey Pox has been around in humans for decades and actual monkeys are not required to contract it. In that case, it came from Canada.

    #2 has historical precident as Moscow has created buffer states
    before to
    protect from interference/invasions. The USSR did it, and a Czar or
    two
    did it before them.

    Which states were those? Big gigantic ones like Ukraine?

    The Baltic States and any of the "Iron Curtain" (sometimes puppet) states, like Poland, Hungary, Romania, East Germany, etc. They also tried to absorb Finland but were not successful.

    Back in the 19th century, Russia won Finland during a war with
    Sweden. And then Russia fell apart into total anarchy, with Lenin
    being shipped to Russia from Germany, who picked up the pieces
    and formed a new union known as the USSR.

    Finland was a part of the USSR in 1917, but decided to leave on its
    own despite Lenin's pleading with them to remain.

    Towards the end of WWII Stalin tried to re-integrate Finland into
    the USSR but Finland refused to go along ...

    IIRC, Ukraine (as the Kiev Rus) was one that was independent before it was absorbed (the first time) as a buffer.

    Ukraine existed before there ever was a Russia.

    No, he didn't. He specifically said that Jesus condemned a man "lying with another man." That is false. The Bible frowns upon it, in a context that has been lost in translation, but Jesus never mentioned it. Aaron tried to change "Jesus spoke out against it" to "there's something in the Bible against it." That would indicate that he has not actually read the Bible.

    Last night, when Biden was addressing the nation about the school shooting, he said "God Bless the losses." That makes no sense in any Christian sort of way.

    Is that how your people tell your god that you're thankful for something?

    Jesus said it is impossible for anybody to keep all of them.

    He's right! I follow these commandments (the best I can) because they seem to lead people in the right path, and not just because 'I'm a Chrtistian so I got to follow the rules.'

    Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism" was a hard enough read me.

    Economics is the dismal science. Confusing that with religion
    would be a major sin. Probably unforgiveable and wind up damning
    you to hell.

    The book was in favor of capitalism and Protestantism. I read it in 2006, so I barely remember it, but there was something about "Catholics take the entire day off on Sunday to worship, and then nothing gets done.." (I think Jews do the same thing on Saturdays.) Making us read it was probably an indoctrination attempt by the university.

    Yes, unfortunately the reptilians have their own god too, but yo that.
    I thought a tenet of Christianity was that there is only one god.
    Are you certain that you're a legit Christian?
    I'm not sure of that, but I have warm blood and flies are disgusting.

    I'm pretty sure that's not enough to qualify.

    Last night, when Biden was addressing the nation about the school shooting, he said "God Bless the losses." That makes no sense in any Christian sort of way.

    He said, "May God bless the loss of innocent life on this sad day." It's an
    odd turn of phrase, but it's clear what his intent was based on the rest of
    his speech.

    Is that how your people tell your god that you're thankful for something? Biden was speaking to a different God.

    No, he wasn't. He was very clearly speaking to the Christian God.

    A certain well-known member of the collective will turn up missi mysteriously dead in the near future. (They didn't say who it is that we'll know it when we hear it.) Give it a few months.
    Is that so? What collective would that be?
    The "collective" includes all your cousins: TV personalities, film
    stars, world leaders, Democrats, RINOS, and billionaires. (David Muir, Rosie Perez, Queen Elizabeth, Mitt Romney, Bill Gates, etc.)

    I see.

    I suspect that the one that will turn up missing and/or dead will be from either the World Leaders or Billionaires categories. Hopefully it's Georgie.

    Prediction noted.

    Everyone.

    I'm not expecting islamic or jewish people to follow it in a

    because of the homophobic part, and that the normalization of other sins is part of a broad effort to discredit christianity.

    Hello Aaron,

    The bible has had too many authors. I don't follow it. I just
    follow
    10 commandments and I support the Catholic church any way I can.

    I see. But you expect other people to follow it?

    Moses went up the mountain and spoke with a burning bush who
    gave him a set of tablets containing ten commandments. Then he
    took those tablets and went down the mountain in order to show
    them to his people who had set camp at its base, but found them
    partying with a golden cow, which caused him to blow his stack
    and throw the tablets on the ground thus breaking them up in
    itty bitty pieces. After realizing it was only a cow and not
    a ram he decided to go back up the mountain to get a new set
    of stone tablets. Not really sure if the new tablets had the
    same set of ten rules as was the first set, as only the burning
    bush and Moses knew the answer to that question.

    The Jews were hoarders. In those days, stone tablets were all
    the rage. This was before they had figured out how to write on
    goat skins. Stone tablets were heavy. Over time, they begin to
    show signs of wear and tear. Where to keep them took a bit of
    thinking. But a solution was eventually found. The stone tablets,
    as well as the pieces of the previous stone tablets, were placed
    in the ark of the covenant. That way, they would always be
    protected, and never be stolen. Unfortunately, where the ark
    of the covenant was last placed has been forgotten.

    Jesus was gay. His lover kissed him. On the lips. In front of Roman
    soldiers. At night. In a garden. Peter tried to stop them by chopping
    off a soldier's ear. Jesus put the ear back on the soldier's face,
    and told Peter to go back to sleep. Then the soldiers took Jesus away
    for questioning by the Sanhedrin, who found him not guilty due to
    lack of witnesses. So he was then led to Pontius Pilate, who had
    no idea as to what to do with him, as his wife was having sweet
    dreams about him. Which is why he gave the crowd outside Barabbas
    rather than Jesus. And the two of them lived happily ever after
    in Japan, while Pilate was deposed and sent to Gaul.

    Upon learning what had happened to his lover, Judas had a mental
    breakdown, got stoned, and never fully recovered ...

    He's right! I follow these commandments (the best I can) because they seem to lead people in the right path, and not just because 'I'm a Chrtistian so
    I got to follow the rules.'

    Creed or cult? Native peoples who have never been churched have
    their own "rules of living" to go by, without even knowing a bible
    of any kind exists or has ever existed. And they are far better at
    observing their own "commandments" than Jews or Christians or other
    groups of religious folks do.

    The 10 "commandments" you talk about are not even the same among
    Jews, Catholics, and non-Catholics. And let's not forget that Jews
    count 613 commandments, not just those 10 simple ones that hardly
    anybody knows or can recite. No telling what Muslims, Hindus, and
    others go by.

    Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism" was a hard enough
    read
    me.

    Economics is the dismal science. Confusing that with religion
    would be a major sin. Probably unforgiveable and wind up damning
    you to hell.

    The book was in favor of capitalism and Protestantism.

    Jesus was preaching about religious truths, not economic theories
    or cults.

    I read it in 2006, so I barely remember it, but there was something about "Catholics take the entire day off on Sunday to worship, and then nothing gets done.."

    Is the pope Catholic? Jesus told Peter he could do whatever he
    wanted, and whatever he declared would be bound on earth as it is
    in heaven. And we all know that both Jesus and Peter were Jewish.

    (I think Jews do the same thing on Saturdays.) Making us read it was probably an indoctrination attempt by the university.

    Jesus could not read or write. And never carried a Bible or Torah
    around anywhere he went. So why should anybody listen to what a
    country bumpkin is claimed to have said so many moons ago? Because
    others before us have been indoctrinated to believe that is The
    Truth? My gosh, if ever I meet someone who knows The Truth I will
    definitely run away from him or her as fast as I can!

    Yep, the Catholics have their own version, because while one of the 10 commandments forbids worshipping graven images, Catholics do like their crucifixes and religious iconography. So Catholics rearranged the commandments a bit so that there are still 10 but worshipping graven images is not one of them.

    This is not new, either. It was one of the complaints that Martin Luther
    nailed to the door of his local church way back in 1517.

    I think there is something insane going on here, but I think it involves a conspiracy theory. Please provide proof of the human sacrifice cabal
    beyond "a psychic said so."

    and that gay people will reject christianity because of the
    homophobic part,

    While some might, there are many who are very involved in their churches.
    Some are even trying to become protestant ministers.

    and that the normalization of other sins is part of a broad
    effort to discredit christianity.

    I think there may be some truth to this last part. Maybe not to discredit
    but certainly to offend them.

    There's no power, and as far as I know, there's no contest here. Try to prove your point, then try to use credible sources as a backbone; that's all we ever do. Sometimes we even cite terrible sources.

    When the "liberals" start making too much sense, it's time to lower the bar on conservative logic.

    Except you are not making any sense, except to yourself.

    Because originally I read that as acting reptilian and not actually being reptiles. That proved later to be incorrect.

    You complain about how you get corrected when someone else doesn't, I
    see a chance to correct them and do, and you respond directly with a
    plate of crap, and indirectly with more of your typical goal-post
    moving.

    Excuse me, what? Did you address said "plate of crap" or "goal-post moving?"

    Oh, come now. Partcipants participate. False gods pontificate.

    So, if you are allowed to do that, I figure the moderator is allowed to
    move some goal posts back and allow Aaron to continue.

    Aaron's going to do what he wants.

    All participants are free to do whatever they want.

    I never asked that he not be allowed to.

    Every participant is free to make their own judgement as to what
    to post, or what not to post. That is part of the beauty of Fidonet.

    I was not asking for him to be silenced;

    There is no god. Therefore, no permission needed. So why ask?

    I was asking why you didn't call him out on obviously faulty logic like his
    Reptilian BS.

    Only a god can do that. And since there is no god ...

    I was talking to Mike, not the moderator.

    Like I said, there is no god.

    Bullshit, Ron. The reptilian brain is primarily concerned with self-preservation and territorialism, both extremely high priorities for conservatives to the point that they invent imaginary threats to satisfy

    If there are no humanoid reptilians, and I'm a humanoid reptilian, then
    I do not exist. But I do exist, therefore I am not a reptilian. You
    couldn't figure that one out for yourself?

    But if you had to go with "yes" or "no" then which one would it be?

    Both.

    Are you a reptilian?

    You have to remember.
    Reptilian creatures, such as lizards, have tails.
    When I was a kid, me and other kids would find lizards, and chop off
    their tails. That made them human. After a long while, their tails
    would grow back and they would become reptilian creatures again. No
    harm, no foul. None of us kids ever got arrested for cruelty to
    animals. And our parents never punished us.

    So. If you really want to know. Check out Jeff. And chop off his
    tail. That will make him human. Then watch and see if his tail grows
    back. Then you will know for sure he is who he says he is.

    Fair point. And I had much more of one as a fetus. However, the lizards and crocodilians have me beat by quite a lot. Not sure about the turtles, and
