No...because unlike Covid, these things do have serious implications to kids. Oh, and those vaccines have been tested and tried for years and shown to be safe.

Wrong. It's "Tattletale News"! Just ask Ban!

Narcissist much?!?!

Oh...pretty sure everyone on here does understand that...but that doesn't make a lot of the mandates right, or logical. Nor does it mean people should sit back and not speak out against the illogicalness and stupidity of it.

I am just going to leave this here...I just read an article on the different types of narcissism...was very enlightening...instead of posting a link people can just review certain posts by a certain poster to understand the mindset of one of the types of narcissism.

How about actual real-life scenarios and experiences from various types and levels of law enforcement who say that their departments policies are not to investigate certain crimes. Who when they try and bring charges to the DA they instantly get dismissed? Is that "Facebook news"? Is that "fantasy land". I sure hope you or a loved one isn't a victim of a crime and the DA lets the perp go and then says "It is not practical to lock everyone up." It is NOT fantasy land to say there are policies in place in police departments and in DA offices where there is directive is given to not go after certain perpetrators of certain crimes and/or prosecuting those crimes and/or recommend jail for certain crimes. It's burying your head in the sand and viewing everything threw partisan glasses if you don't believe that.

Here where I live, for one year the kids had to wear masks during practice and in matches...it was an absolute joke at practice...but I HAD to tell the kids they needed to wear them, but they were down around their chin 90% of the time. And after the mask ban was lifted, the refs still couldn't allow the kids to shake hands or shake hands after the dual...made no sense!

How in the heck did Ban ever get...Banned?

Good conversation Bob!! This is what I like...this type of back and forth!

This!! The sympathy for the victim is lost in enforcement of laws more than ever right now. Some of the current narrative out there paints perpetrators as the victims. The victims should be at the forefront of every policy decision being made in regard to laws and breaking the law and enforcement of the law...sadly that is not the case.

Understand what you are saying. And understand that the sentiment was to limit exposure...but where I diverge from the sentiment is when it was applied holistically to everyone, instead of towards those the data and science indicated should limit their exposure. There were things and processes in place for people in the high-risk category to truly limit their exposure without limiting other people who maybe didn't have to worry about their personal exposure. And where that truly caused the most damage was shutting down small businesses, totally disrupting the supply chain (which we still feel the pain today), and the biggest one, canceling once in a lifetime opportunities for our kids and college students. The data and science, from the very beginning, clearly demonstrated we didn't need to do that.

I agree with the overall sentiment Bob, but why the mask craze? Why the "stand 6 feet away"...not 5'11'' away, but 6 feet craze? And have people forgot about the not for more than 15 minutes thingy that made no sense?? Point is, this all should have been personal choice from the beginning...period.

While you sorta make good points...we literally had real life studies going on in different states which sorta "proved" that masks really didn't have a significant effect on the spread of the virus nor impact on the death rate (don't get me started on that). Which also includes the ~95% of people who didn't wear it correctly anyway in states where it was mandated (my estimation based on my observations everywhere I went and in all the states I visited during that time). Not sure how that can be argued. Bottom line is, which is how it should have been from the beginning, if you are more risk adverse, then feel free to wear a mask, if you are not, then don't. Fixed. Something I find absolutely hilarious, especially those that stand up on their pulpit and demand others wear masks, you have no clue if the mask prevents people from spreading it to others, or if it protects them??

Here's a link https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiArsua6_CAAxUptokEHbDBA6UQFnoECBIQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailymail.co.uk%2Fnews%2Farticle-12421505%2FFord-CEO-Jim-Farley-admits-electric-F-150-Lightning-needs-improvement-charging-issues.html&usg=AOvVaw1FS5OsML5Dkc5ExGTd-jig&opi=89978449

I thought I saw somewhere that the CEO drove one and essentially admitted the new electric ford truck isn't very end user friendly other than for short trips here and there. It was completely inconvenient to charge it while on a trip longer than a couple hundred miles.

Based on his overinflated view of himself, I'd definitely say PhD! I worked 11 years with PhD's in the drug development field and some of them were the dumbest smart people I have ever met.

You know what I would love to see...just once...is Ban somehow back up anything he claims about the mythical Tattletale News shows being wrong. If, and that is a big IF, he has ever done research, I'd like to see any data what so ever to back up any of the ridiculous claims he has made on here...everything from policies around criminals to his whackadoodle Covid claims of how the Mayo Clinic is home to the worlds greatest and most smartest "experts" and doctors and just because he lived close to there, he himself is the worlds greatest and most smartest person on all topics health related.

?? What the heck are you even talking about?? What is over the line?? Him PURPOSELY calling people the wrong pronoun to try and insult them, or me calling him out for doing so? And how the heck did you twist that into I am trying to get people to reveal their gender on here?? SMH Just like Ban, sure would like to know what the heck is going on in that little brain of yours and how the heck do you two make up half the crap you spew on here. Hmmm...ever wonder why the two of you are almost always arguing with every single other person on here? Including those that appear to have similar believes as yourself. Sometimes when you think everyone else is the problem, here is a hint, it may be you.

The last 2.5 pages of posts has been some of the craziest things I have read in a long time...wow! I'd be curious to know who in the heck Ban actually "educates". Please say it isn't kids!!

What shoe and who is to wear it?? Come on man...let us in. What in the heck are you even talking about. And I'll challenge you any freaking day to see who is the bigot. Never on here have I ever disparaged someone for their life choices, or a group of people. You do it every day!

Internet gold coming from you! By the way, why do you refer to people on here...who are clearly males, as females?? Or use female pronouns? Is that meant as an insult them in some way? Or is it just you being a hypocrite once again, and going against the inclusive little woke progressive you claim to be??

Only you could take a lot of viewership as a way to bash something and a group of people. And then tied viewership to something called "Tattletale News"...and won't even tell us what that even means. You never did say why you called people who watched the video bigots...PLEASE explain what the heck is going on in that crazy little brain of yours.

Agreed! And to the level of using what one reads to make decisions for themselves. I always felt that it doesn't take anything away from a doctor, or "expert" if you take your own health decisions into your own hands. My long-time doctor LOVED it when her patients did that as she always said patients should have a huge say in their health and treatments. People also forget that a lot of these "experts" in regard to Covid were providing their RECOMMENDATIONS based on the most conservative approach possible (didn't look at things from all aspects of society), it was the politicians (who are NOT doctors or experts) who set the mandates and shutdowns. And most of those mandates were completely illogical, did nothing, didn't take the "science"/data into consideration, and took so many opportunities away from people. Effects that we still feel today.

You are probably right! And not sure how it is being tied to being a bigot by some on here...pretty much nothing in the lyrics is remotely bigoted or controversial.
