Judith, I appreciate your openness in agreeing that good points have been made here. I wish you would also respond to a point I raised several Waccos ago, where I said that I have had many...

So there is not even a pandemic?! All those deaths and severe illnesses we hear about on the news, then, are just some kind of massive propaganda campaign spewed forth to advance some weird...

If you like cats, I recommend getting one or more. They can be powerful rodent killers, and those they don't find tend to vacate the premises. It's grisly, but so is poison!

Playing the fool is a luxury you have in our democracy, rossmen. Evidently you are well off enough that you don't have to bear the brunt of your foolishness. It is not the same with everyone.

Actually, Valley Oak, all your strenuous and selfless political efforts qualify you as a Citizen Angel! Would that the rest of us were so dedicated and hard working. You seem to have a chronic...

But sadly, like so often in political life, it is the only choice we have at present. Trump is like suicide, and Biden is like a more or less severe beating. We must be grown up and deal with what...

Actually, Rossmen, I guarantee that if all government were to disappear in the US you would be wiped out with the rest of us very quickly. Mob rule is a real drag.

Very scholarly, Mark. Nevertheless, it seems very obvious that more people will get hurt worse if Trump wins.

Trump is dearly hoping for more people like you, Mark!

Thank you once again, Mark, for baring your soul like this. I feel much closer to you.

By the way, I must tell you that I am not a "doctor." I am a mere "bachelor." Nor do I have an orgone...

Mayacaman, what do you know about this city for the elite beneath the Blue Ridge Mountains, and how do you know it?

And if the plebes kill each other off, who will do the huge amount of work...

So why do you think Dr. Fauci has done this apparently crazy and even homicidal thing? And why do so many other experts agree with him?

<style> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face ...

Judith, I'm re-sending this post because I feel that it deserves a response!

Stay and keep on fighting! Eternal vigilance (and struggle) is the price of liberty!

By "ample basis" do you mean your lengthy list of experts who agree with you?

What's the point of offering you "the studies, articles, etc"? You know as well as I do that your anti-vax view is in...

So who would get to decide which posts are "unwanted?" Slippery slope, Kevin. Or do you mean a user could block posts just on his own email?

I think my response was absolutely germane, and once again you have refused to answer my questions (you know, those things with question marks after them). Your post was little more than a list of...

Yet, there's a whole lot of people as educated or more educated than you who believe that there is considerable value in wearing masks. Dr. Fauci is a good example. Should I believe him or you? I...

Instead of responding to the points I made in my post, you put me down as someone whose "mind is made up" and unwilling to learn and think. This is an unfriendly and unhelpful way to relate, Judith.

I think that there are many people who just love to argue and fight and assert their Rightness! I confess I can get a bit caught up in that myself, OldGranddad. Then I pull back and realize damn,...

Those sphere figures are truly amazing! I had no idea spheres could fit together so perfectly. 20 sounds so little to fit around 13.

Amazing! Sorry to be stupid, but who do you think is controlling the narrative? Who would be able to make sure that every news program carries exactly the same statistics? Is it possible that each...

Absolutely stunning! Aren't lions generally a threat to child elephants? Are you sure this wasn't a photoshoped picture? How could the photographer have happened to be there at this particular...

"A fair chance of surviving the virus"? I'm not inclined to gamble with my health, Judith. It's really all I have!

How can you downplay the severity of this epidemic? We've never seen...

It's still an awfully large number, Judith! And many who survive are crippled with more or less problematic after-effects.

An awfully large number of people have died from this new disease, kburgess, and many others survive but remain with more or less crippling injuries. Are you quite sure that most of these people had...

Yeah, the going back to normal trend when the infection numbers were still so high seemed crazy to me at the time. And now it's turned out that it was crazy! How could our leaders have failed to...

Rereading this, it doesn't say why you were in Berkeley during People's Park, since you don't mention going to school there. I didn't either, but I chose to live in Berkeley because it seemed like...

Yes, Richard Ely certainly overindulged in his hostility there. I would prefer showing kindness and respect even for people you regard as fools.

But can't you see the extremely hostile and...

Hi Marko! I don't know about Barry putting you in a "ghetto." Your posts seem to be on the regular site like everyone else's. Maybe I've missed something. But even in this post you sent here to...

I'm astounded at the bountiful time some of you regulars have to post these long screeds arguing and insulting each other! Armed combat of the mind! Fun fun fun!

So were you too among the throngs of protesters during the free speech movement and people's park? Maybe we even met some time as we were running around dodging cops and the military!

How do you know all these things, amayon??

I have never been saved by a vaccine? Vaccination has nothing to do with the huge decrease in communicable diseases that has occurred over the last 100 years? How do you know all this, amayon? So...

Jeez, Mark, this stuff is way too dense for my tiny brain!

<style> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Times; panose-1:2 0 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; mso-font-charset:0; ...

Maybe I'm just dense, Shandi, but I don't read anything particularly sinister in this article.

If covid 19 was "planned biowarfare," why has it spread all over the world? What would the military...

Thanks, podfish. My issue is not whether people could accept that Ray could be pleasant. My issue is about accepting people with a different political point of view on this forum. I now understand...

Yes, mass species extinction! Looks like we're working on it.

I'll be happy to visit you in your charming vertical city apartment in the desert, infojockey, but I have no plans to abandon my...

Huh?

Well, at least they're not greedy money-grubbers!

So you think it really doesn't take that many workers to run our world economy--all the food production, science, engineering, invention,...

I've heard that Hitler too could be quite warm and charming.

Why would the Master Capitalists want to eliminate large portions of the population? Wouldn't they want to encourage population growth so as to grow bigger and bigger markets for their products?
...

Hi infojockey! I appreciate your scholarship, but I just have to say that the idea of a 1000-fold increase in human population upon the planet is my idea of total horror and disaster! The...

I don't understand what you mean by "gain of function" research and the rest of what you are saying here.

So are you against today's Planned Parenthood? Do you agree that human population explosion all over the world is a serious threat, not only to human survival, but to the other species? What else...

So is it your theory that the Chinese developed it for biowarfare but it accidentally got released and decimated China as well?

Why won't anybody respond to what I said about what happened when I reached out to Ray?? I just don't get the disconnect. Doesn't that give any of you just a little pause for curiosity and...

I love the one where Lincoln is plugging his ears even better!

So are we heading toward a presidential campaign in which Trump and Biden exchange nasty barbs about which one is the worst sexual predator? How historical!

Again, Glia, if I'm wasting your time you can just ignore me!

At least I'm wasting my time as a champion of free speech. Could be TV or something.

You too will just not respond to what I said...
