UK Lockdown

[ajl]

What is particularly galling about the political left in this covid debacle is that they are pushing lockdowns in order to pretend to care about the elderly which are the more vulnerable while at the same time pushing euthanasia to get rid of these same elderly at the same time.

At one time I voted socialist[liberal] federally when they were a fiscally sensible, approachable govt.
All governments show a certain degree of arrogance during question period, but if pressed hard they will answer a question as they know the voters are watching.

The present govt has taken arrogance to a level that few have ever seen before, but being unable to change this govt has put many people in a helpless position. This frustration coupled with a huge change in lifestyle in the past 9 months has significantly altered some peoples tolerance levels.

For the people who are comfortable with leaders who abandon common sense on such a gigantic life changing scale, I applaud you, maybe a university prof or genetics enabled you.

For the rest of us who mix common sense and a dabble of risk on a daily basis it is truly disheartening to see the incompetence in Ottawa taking place and coupled with covid restrictions, you may want to cross the street when you see me coming.

Not sure what any of that as to do with the (laughable) idea that only socialists think they’re always right and everyone else is stupid. Which is all I was referring too.

The trouble with masks is people think they are imune for catching the chinese flu I have a sister in law that goes twice a day to walmart with a mask.I go sometimes but without a mask I am willing to bet that I have alot less chance of picking it up as her. We have to use common sense nobody seems to have it no more.

And perhaps this story helps illustrate his point:

Kathleen Wynne - Rev. Charles McVety "...divisive, dangerous man. Disgraceful.” His record is clean.

But on her choice for Deputy Min. of Ed., Ben Levin, who according to the sentencing judge “collected images of child pornography” and “frequented chatrooms devoted to topics of incest and the sexual exploitation of children.” -no shame.


Her self-confessed, child pornographer who helped write the Ontario children's sex ed manual - silence.

But completey consistent with her character.

I’ve read it numerous times.

My post had nothing to do with the current government, or any government.

It was a mockery of the idea that only people of one political ideal think they’re right and all else are stupid. That is an individual trait, not a political, religious, cultural, etc trait. A socialist is no more likely to feel they’re always right and everyone else is stupid than a Conservative is. As proven time and again by the extreme orators of each side on this site.

Tolerance or impatience with current situations should have little reflection on thinking everyone else with a different view is an idiot. I’m tired of many things, it doesn’t mean I think people who aren’t or feel or think otherwise are morons.

The point is blaithin, big claims require big evidence, not leaps of faith. That is not ideology, thats common sense.

If someone is going to come on and make prescriptions for everyone to do something for some greater cause, they better have some damn evidence before making such a claim. I am still waiting for any evidence any of these rulings work, all I see is an escalating blame game that the same SJWs are getting behind to shame another group.

Same goes with the crowd saying oil is bad then publishing 30 yrs of failed studies.

And now they are trying it with the great reset to tell us socialism is good when the evidence is clearly against it.

When evidence cant be reliably produced yet the narrative and agenda is still pushed relentlessly, the contrarian position is more likely correct.

That is why this is going nowhere. Socialists think they are right and the other guy is stupid, wont concede an inch and are not prepared to examine evidence that does not support their theory. Debate with them is less productive than debating a fencepost so no use even trying.

Those traits definitely accurately describe the small handful of really special socialists who have chosen agriville to preach their gospel.
Tolerance or open minded are the last words that come to mind.
But maybe we are just lucky to attract such willfully blind ideologues, and they are not representative of the broader political movement.

Blaithin, you were commenting on how you are disappointed by the lack of community spirit individuals have now, compared to days gone by if I understand you.

I'm saying one of the reasons may be because of the helplessness of some people who can't change the source that is causing them great stress right now. The beatings will continue until morale improves, comes to mind.

Couple that with a virus that has dominated TV, radio, internet and conversations . . . . people are just burnt out and tired.

Even before these present circumstances arrived I will admit community events were declining. The three biggest factors, grid roads, closure of elevators, and four wheel drive tractors were all a death sentence for small towns with an honorable mention going to .08 laws.

Now the internet and video games seem to fill that space instead of sports days, dances, and curling.
WE isn't a requirement for technology, its just a coincidence that there's a I in video and internet.

The pony has left the barn.

We may agree to meet in the middle on this one . . . or not.

I think I am dog-matic at times but I’ve avoided cat-astrophies. 😂 I like to hear all opinions but when a particular group clings to ridiculous falsehoods that condemn the staff of life, I find it very difficult to stop myself from holding them up for what they are. How can one who studied science and depends on carbon for all green growth not stand up to total bunk shoved down our throats daily by the sheeple?
