Regarding members threatening to punch or curb stomp other members...


There was never a threat.

"If you had said it in front of me, then........", was my statement to Josh.

And Fac's words were just an invitation

Of course the only takeaway that is obvious is the headline was distorted for shock value and dipshit
Josh gladly exploited it.


It is one thing to link to a headline/article/etc

Quite another to actually RE-TYPE the words - which signified that you digested what was in print - and didn't see the folly contained in.

I gave him what would have been a CORRECT wording.  Let's see if he cleans it up with a relatively proper response.

The takeaway here is that we need to follow young people who had covid and monitor their condition over the next year and see if this tissue damage is temporary or long-lasting.  If covid in the young leads to cardio problems later in life,  that's vital medical information we need.   


Absolutely.  Well said, Barton.

Wouldn't want to be a motorist in North Carolina...travel 5mph under the speed limit and you can get stopped and be given a written warning.
Now I understand why many American motorists etc don't want to get involved in "friendly chatter" with the cops and their personal questions at traffic stops etc.
"Anything you say can and will be used against you".

...having watched YouTube videos for 3 days of actual (videod by the People) cases of motorist/street interaction between Americans and the cops.
And lawyers explaining all about it.

We need to follow them, regardless, because we still don't know what the long term problems might be - even if it looks healed.

A thing about the television shows about cops and about courtrooms, etc, is that they show the most outlandish people, many of whom are mentally ill, and if you watch that kind of stuff then you think that society is really like that, and in reality very few people are like the people on the cop shows and court shows. It is better to watch different types of shows, shows that you can learn from, etc, on PBS, with the travel shows, and there are shows where they rebuild houses, and even good authentic world news, etc, it is not healthy to watch the cop shows, etc, all of the time, those shows are not a realistic depiction of society and they give you a wrong-minded point of view of the world.

And of note, many people who are in jail are mentally ill, and they need proper treatment, they need to be in a mental hospital instead of being in jail, and they need help and treatment. We need more Wellness Centers and Mental Health Associations, and fewer jails. Drug addiction and alcohol addiction are also issues that need to be dealt with as Mental Health issues instead of criminal acts, and the drug addicts need to be in drug treatment camps instead of being in jails, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

Probably just the usual reasons, not that Dems have given control to lunatics.

Actually happy to have JOE in place - if he can keep his faculties.  Some order at least will be kept.

You’d even get treated to a taco first, which alone would make the trip worthwhile.

The entire republican program is lunacy and loyalty to the looniest lunatics in a looping luge run through the bottom straight on to oblivion in a mushroom cloud of white rage and impotence.

Loud ugly and noxious decomposition is all America gets from the sadly listing GOP.
