Critical thinker Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 The difference between tyranny and democracy, it’s very simple. When a government knows everything about you, that is tyranny. When you know everything about your government, that is democracy. Christian Dedvas- European Union, Mep- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critical thinker Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Angry at me because I do actual research beyond the stuff that you digest from MSM. Call me names as much as you want, but that doesn’t make your ideology any better than you sound. Our fallen soldiers didn’t lay down their lives for people like you.

Critical thinker Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Good because they need it. I don’t drink or do drugs and I would much rather “debate” with people who view free speech as a right not to be squelched instead of some of the shameless on this site that would like to silence… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critical thinker Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Good rebuttal but that shows your level of intelligence. I’m fully employed and fully protected and have family that gave their lives in the fight against fascism and socialism btw. Oh well, misery loves company.

GDR Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 This was a forum of thoughtful cordial conversation. I think that the divisiveness on this forum is representative of what is happening in our society, and I suggest that it is largely fed by the tone of our politicians. We have negative labels for anyone who hold a position different than our own it seems. It has now been exacerbated by taking people away from direct social contact, and turning to their keyboards. The discussions become less and less civil. Sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just here in our little place on the internet either - I see the same thing in other forums I visit. I see it in myself too, unfortunately, I've posted some things I regret. The unvaxxed are being told, and believe, by those they read that their rights to free choice and body autonomy are being stripped away. The vaccinated are being told that they are being negatively affected by the unvaxxed. I don't know how to turn it around or if it's even possible. I do know of many families and relationships that have suffered severe damage. The fallout will be with us for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to like this post but it seems that option isn’t available for your comments. That said, I’m not a fan of people who appear on a forum anonymously and immediately start tossing hand grenades and calling people who’ve chosen to be vaccinated “naive idiots”. If you (Mr. C. T.) truly had the courage of your convictions, you would put your name to what you say. This IMHO is why you’re getting the blowback, and you’ve earned it. I also want to be clear that while I believe in the vaccine program, I am dead set against the mandate. I’m having a hard time seeing past the hypocrisy of a government that spent months telling us their political opponents didn’t truly believe in a woman’s right to make choices for her own body, then turning around and telling all of us that we don’t have the right to determine what is injected into our bodies, all in in exchange for a paycheque or the right to get on an airplane. I also hate what this is doing to the mental health of a lot of good people. I’m lucky to work for a company that treats every team member as family. We’re struggling to reconcile what’s been forced on us by the mandate with the damage its doing to our culture. It’s a small sample of what’s being done to our country, and I’m sick of it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FA@AC Posted November 4, 2021 Author Share Posted November 4, 2021 WS, AC, TS and Sunwing have put their unvaccinated staff aside from those who were given exemptions on leave. Unless the respective unions decide to go to bat for the anti-vaxxers or the sale of ribbons generates funding sufficient to mount a legal challenge, it's over.

I don’t believe my opinions were bombs and as far as insults, I never cower from anyone who would try to bully me or anyone else. That’s why I fired back. I didn’t ask to be insulted and as far as my Anonymity, I will certainly change that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit that I haven’t always been clean on this either but I have been working hard to stay above the fray and be respectful, reaping what I have sown so to speak. Like all things in life, I’m a work in progress. I acknowledge that perception belongs to perceiver, but really? You don’t see these as even a little condescending? “Some also jump before making sure the water is deep enough too” ”Ignorance is bliss, eh? Wow! ” “I wonder what you’ll say when they insist your child get a fourth fifth sixth and seventh vaccination shot. No parent control then, eh? But maybe you’re one of those that are OK with that lol!!!!!” Edited November 4, 2021 by J.O. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.O. Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Imagine if the terms “pandemicist” or “anti-vaxxer” were replaced by the “n” word or some other widely despised epithet. Most rational people would rail at that and address it immediately. Yet these words are becoming commonplace in social discourse as zealots on both sides attempt to marginalize those who disagree. It doesn’t matter which side does it, it’s wrong and it needs to stop. We should be better than this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpperDeck Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I figured it out!! Either Seeker or Critical Thinker ( or both of them) is Aaron Rodgers...Green Bay qb. He stated he did not vaxx for a few reasons one of which was; " I am a Critical Thinker". I think he intended to drop out "a". He also asserted that by reason of his extensive research, he knew he would benefit from a course of ivermectin. It is assumed he meant the "human dose". That's my contribution to solving the puzzle.
