Would you be sad if they suspended the season?

As an European, from my experience, looks more and more like socialism takes over and believe me, that is nothing to be happy about.
You will miss capitalistic chances when your diet will be potatoes only.

Lol. We're getting killed by the man no matter what, the least the government could do is actually care about it's citizens.

Capitalism sure as hell doesn't do that.

Pairing big pharma with lizard people is like pairing your boss wit Santa Claus.
It is very bad mathematic. Very very bad.

care about and care for are two different things…

All other species survive based on survival of the fittest. Only humans think that we can, as a whole, improve humans by catering to the lowest common denominator…

and to clarify for those who will say something, noooooo, that doesn't mean not cater to those who cant cater for themselves.
Difference between wont and cant…

 

[Idog1976]

Lol...Maybe I should have added green font. I was being snarky to those who don't care about the restaurants that got crippled. I'm admittedly not good at snark.

My comment wasn't negative towards HCP as much as to those who have held a double standard through all this.
You think he is the only one affected by this? I was not for forced shut downs from the get go...

My wife lost work due to covid shut down. Maybe you want to check things before you jump hastily.

maybe be clear because that stupidity, invariably said by people who are unaffected by it, is super common place.

Fair enough. I say stupid shit all the time.

Who's diet is potatoes only? How is that related to your experience? What evidence do you base this fear on?

Give me specific examples. I do not think we, as a society, allow people to endanger people's life without consequences.

We allow you to drink, but we do not allow you to operate machinery under the influence. You can smoke at home, you can not where it will cause irreversible harm to others. You can own a gun and shoot it responsibly, but if you harm others without cause - you will be punished, you can drive a car - but if you cause an accident - you are responsible.

If there are examples you can think of where you are allowed to harm others for no cause - I would really want to hear them.

We can start with the environment.

Air pollution kills millions of people every year through chronic illnesses such as pneumonia, lung cancer. Don’t know about asthma and other illnesses. Just happen to know about those two from personal experience.

So your little gas engine directly results in peoples deaths, too.

No more cars, trains, planes, boats, right?

Also, walking around unvaccinated without Covid is hardly comparing apples to apples.

It would be more akin to walking around while you knowingly have Covid.

And a “car accident” if you want to get real picky is an accident. So that would be like an unvaccinated person walking around, with Covid, but not knowing it. An accident.

And what happens in car accidents? Hardly get a slap on the wrist. Not take a persons property away and most of their savings or whatever the hell that person was saying.

I understand this and said that there is something about your observation, but we clearly have to find a line between freedom and protection for the society - and I still think that the equivalence you set between anti-vaxxers and fat people is wrong. One can directly affect people - the other is a lot less likely to do so. If there were hospitals flooded with alcoholics / overweight people and others were denied service because of that, sure, it is the correct equivalency, I do not think we have seen it as we have seen because of Covid patients and in addition, they can harm others even if they are just together in a public place.

So, my point stand. Sure, it would be good if we had better health as a country - but there are levels for damage caused - and they are not the same.

Then, let’s talk about who should have children.
There is a massive correlation between unhealthy eating habits (and other behaviors) from parents to the children.

People are free to feed their kids sht for breakfast, lunch and dinner… then are shocked when said child suffers from a whole host of mental and physical health issues.

And I would say that (e)affects (shout out hcp who can inform which is right usage lol) MUCH more of our society if you look at the obesity rates, particularly long term. Most people aren’t likely to suffer major issues from Covid. Meanwhile, damn near our whole society suffers a major issue from poor health choices. (Mental health, physical health, cause of death, surgeries, etc.).

Then, what are most people in the hospital for — if not for Covid?

Heart disease?

Wonder where that comes from?

You like to talk in absolutes and I do not. Cars, Planes, Boats are required - so you can not eliminate them - but there is regulation to curb their pollution. Same applies to vaccines. You do not need to get one - but you should not be upset if some services require a mandate.

Again, I do not want to require anyone to get a vaccine, but if you use a public service or attend a public area - adhering to the rules and not putting others in danger makes sense.

I am pretty sure that there are cases where child services will take people away from unfit parents - so "child raising" mandates already exist. If you think they should be more severe, I am sure we can have a discussion about that.

You know what, let's use the simple solution to curb a global pandemic before we start marching on Washington to take kids from their parents homes, yeah?

I just remember the uproar when Michelle Obama fought for better nutrition in the schools how the conservative right went ballistic - apparently she is much more conservative than you are.

IIRC, all the Blazers have been vaxed and some have had their boosters. They are still positive and are now now allowed to play because they can pass it on.

I'd be interested to hear about any types of symptoms they have. Many seem to be asymptomatic or have very mild symptoms. Hopefully that is the case.

I remember my English friends laugh, when I told them about my aunt slicing banana on Christmas. I got one slice and my cousins get one. It was in 80s, in Europe, not in Africa. My friends laugh about it, because it is absurd for them and they didn't believe it.
It is not "fear". We got no fear about communism here. We know it, we remember it, we hate it.
I wasn't even on the worst part of it and I still got stories people refuse to believe.
But I know exactly where socialism leads to.
And we still talking about potatoes fear. We can as well go straight to torturing people for being against government ideology.

Thank you for sharing. I'm interested, where in Europe?

I would be sad if they make a late run for the 8th seed again and we'd lose our pick. Just lose as much games as possible, give me at least something to cheer

Yep. Do that and bring in another All Star. Put defensive players around them.

If there have been meaningful changes made to the roster that will allow us to sustain success in the future... then I won't give a fuck if we make the playoffs or not. It will probably be a good sign if we do and we get to see what the changed roster looks like in the post season. Also if we do make the playoffs then the pick is the Bulls and our future picks will be available for us to deal during the draft and the rest of the off season, while trying to build a winner.

The thing is, i'm out on win now. I want that rebuild badly. Zero hope that Cronin is able to do some magic
