p-nullifidian comments on Sep 7, 2021:
Obtaining the vaccine is voluntary. So, no matter the idiocy to be found in Tallahassee, the decision to remain unvaccinated and risk contracting the more lethal Delta variant is a personal choice. Sadly, to remain unvaccinated and contracting COVID-19 today, amounts to suicide by science.

If choose to self emolliate, that is my personal choice. However, if I choose to self emolliate and then walk in to my crowded work place or a school, that is way outside the realms of personal choice, that is at best assault at worst murder.
IF a person choses to not be vaccinated during a plague, and stay home and die, I have no problem with that. But if they chose to not be vaccinated during a plague and go out infecting all and sundry, they are not exercising freedom of choice, they are indulging in criminal behaviour.

I had Covid and am a member of Covid Survivors group on Facebook. A lot of doctors are prescribing ivermectin pills to patients and it’s working. It’s pretty much the same as the horse dewormer but the dosages are not the same so if you use horse dewormer and follow instructions you are not ...

Have you actually been to https://clinicaltrials.gov and read the studies on Ivermectin for COVID-19 test worldwide?
I have and guess what...
26 studies have returned results out of 75 done worldwide, most are for Ivermectin mixed with a variety of other drugs for the treatment of SYMPTOMS of Covid-19, NOT for the treatment of Covid-19.
35 tests used Ivermectin as the Placebo or comparative drug and were not tests on Ivermectin itself
Only 7 such studies were carried out in the US
1 US study was terminated, This was the only US test actually testing Ivermectin alone and was a failure, actually causing illness
1 US was Withdrawn the manufacturers of Ivermectin pulled consent
2 test were for Doxycycline + Paracetamol (tyranol) aspirin/ Doxycycline + Zinc supplements
1 was for Fluvoxamine and Metformin
1 was for Fluvoxamine and Fluticasone
1 was to test for biomarkers in Urine using Ivermectin as a detector not a treatment
Just out of curiosity I used the same site to check if Caffeine HAS been clinically tested for the treatment of Covid-19 or Covid symptoms and again believe it or not there are 16 of them worldwide
8 (Eight) of them in the US

So I could speculate using your logic that during the time you had Covid-19 that if you drank coffee, and you found many members of the “survivors” group ALSO drank coffee, then OBVIOUSLY caffeine MUST be a cure for Covid-19.
After all it is a drug, many survivors drank it and of course we all know correlation = causation … oh yeah right it doesn't.

Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance, is AKA Dr. Paul E. Marik (63). The good doctor was at one time a renowned pulmonary heart specialist, however now in semi retirement is a lecturer in pulmonary heart disease at Eastern Virginia Medical School.
His dubious claims to fame since taking up his new post are that a number of years ago he began endorsing his own Nostrum remedy for Sepsis. In “clinical trials” he administered what was basically aspirin mixed with large doses of vitamin C to patients en masse. When the research, because he had not used a double-blind testing method, was invalidated, his defence was that to give patients placebos was unethical because that would be fibbing to them.
His work on Ivermectin in COVID-19 cases has been equally dogged with controversy. His clinical “tests” being to give very small doses of Ivermectin cut with aspirin (again, I wonder if he owns shares) to people who don't need it. Wait a while and then ask them if they are feeling any better. In other words, he is basically using ivermectin AS a placebo, in spite of his own ethical objections to telling Porkies to patients.
In 2016 Dr. Paul Marik's article, “Humans Are Not Yeast,” (wow he's a doctor you know) was roundly condemned for claiming a)“Lactic acidosis doesn't exist.” and B) “this whole idea of trying to get rid of lactate by revving up oxygen delivery is … another bogus myth.”
He was basically advocating that the Centres for Medicare and Medicaid Services should not be adopting measures ratified by the National Quality Forum.
The Man is a known conspiracy theorist, and publicity seeker. He has variously been accused of saying anything will cure anything if a drug company is willing to pay him to say so. In various medical journals, it has been speculated that his purpose in doing so is to draw attention to his own fading flame by antagonizing the status quo.
EDIT
Dr. Marik did carry out one legitimate trial of Ivermectin last year, mixing it with vitamin C, Aspirin, an anticoagulant and a powerful steroid. The results were very definite, the concoction actually increased the likelihood of dying from Covid 19

I agree he was not the very best of stand-up comedians (That was Bob Monkhouse) nor was he the Greatest comic (That was Spike Milligan)
I base my opinion on his technical skill, his timing, his ability to push the envelope, break rules and open up comedy on TV for those who came after him. He was the first comic on the BBC to use the F word in a routine and get away with it (well before Billy Connolly).
This is before you get in to his second career as an investigative TV journalist and his dramatic acting career or his early days as a stunt performer and daredevil.

Of course the Mormons claim the Masons stole the rites from them not the other way round in a sort of doing it before we did sort of way, because "Satan" (of course) leaked the rituals to the Masons (who were supposed to keep them secret for some reason) 200 years before the Mormons were supposed to bring them forth, so that they could keep them secret too.

In spite of the fact that she was a foot taller than me and seven stone heavier and a martial artist, the rules on spousal abuse are socially quite clear and one-sided. If a woman does it, it is freaking hilarious and well deserved, because after all men are guilty of something and the woman is always the victim, I mean how dare I attack her foot with my bollocks.

As for the mask thing, here we have a track and trace QR code at the entrance to every place of business, which has to be scanned as you enter. Along with a warning that should you choose not to wear a mask or face covering inside and are caught on CCTV doing so, you thereby abnegate the business from all liability. You are further informed you will be contacted by the authorities or are likely to be a sent a statutory fine.
When faced with this, but no confrontation with a person most either wear a face covering, go away or get fined.
Stores that insist on face covering, usually offer people the option of using a scarf rather than a mask, and this suffices to let them think they have won, and proceed with a smug sense of self-righteousness.

No, a Plimsoll is not a sneaker, they are horrible blister making, dirt cheap canvas and elastic topped gym shoes with latex soles glued on to them.
They are uncomfortable, smelly, invariably dyed with black dye that comes off on your socks and feet.
Plimsolls have for years been mandated upon in primary schools for indoor PE lessons.
Furthermore, they are called Plimsolls because they have a latex band that separates the two parts, resembling the Plimsoll line of a ship. (Plimsoll is actually a Dutch name that translates as Sun grown Plum) The Plimsoll line, and by extension the shoe, is named after Doctor Samuel Plimsoll who invented it.

@AnonySchmoose Fine idealism.
Unfortunately, in real life every one of those measures would be contested by industry, by unions, by people fearing for their livelihoods and by politicians fearing for their votes.
It would be hindered by compromise, outright rejection and the demand that “another way” be found. Another way that would face the same round of objections.
There is only one solution, and it is horrible. If the human race is to survive, there has to be an 80% reduction of the human race. There has to be a rebalance between supply and demand. It could have been avoided, had we listened to those with foresight in the last century, but we did not.

There was never a need for climate change, the first private motor vehicles ever invented where electric, the diesel engine was invented to run on biofuels (Corn Oil), smokeless coke was invented to extract the noxious gases out of coal BEFORE it was burned. They were all suppressed (how else do you think electric car manufactures suddenly made the technological leap forward when they HAD to, because the oil is running out?).
10 Years ago, an Indian scientist patented a compressed air engine car, completely clean. Where is it now?

If you don't believe me, look at Britain and the US reactions to the COVID-19 crisis. Two of the worst in the world, with our prime minister being caught saying that he does not care if “Bodies are piled high in the streets” so long as the shops open and the economy recovers. Yet he stays in power, and Trumps advocating the drinking of Bleach, and Biden's “solutions” being less ridiculous but not really any better.
People are an infinitely renewable resource. They will go along with the idea that some have to die, so the price of beer will not go up, so long as you can convince them that those people will of course be someone else, not them.

@TheMiddleWay You do know Paiget's work is 100 years out of date, having been largely developed in the 1920s (took me two minutes on Google to find that out) and is now largely regarded as simply wrong? See Fischer, 2008 and Demetriou et al., 2013 and Weiten (1992)
If you are going to use argumentum ab auctoritate make sure the authorities you appeal to are current and still valid, just a word of friendly advice.

@TheMiddleWay My children are not “wunderkids (sic)(I believe youn wunderkind) and outside this norm” I was a youth centre manager for ten years with a large amount of parental experience.
I have an honest view of my own children, who are both now very successful, happy adults. I have not read, Piaget's work (and perhaps neither have you since you quoting from a review of a commentary on it). However, your personal representation of it is to my experience and critical analysis indicative of it indeed being “absolute unmitigated and uninformed bullshit”
You would also do well to consider the phrase popularised by Samuel Clements "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.";

@altschmerz The trick is to recognise when things are being directed personally against you, at which point it is unwise not to admit to it and deal with it appropriately.
When a person is actively moving against yourself, ignoring it can be fatal.
Self-protection is a natural instinct, a survival instinct. You need not confront every jab or jibe someone makes to you, but what they say about you can destroy your life, this is why we have libel and slander laws.
You have a right to your own dignity, there is nothing admirable in “turning the other cheek” when you recognise there is no good reason or right for them ever hitting you in the first place.

LenHazell53 replies on Aug 8, 2021:
The Characters do not appear in the Pugwash books, but were smuggled in to the BBC TV adaptations of the stories to piss off the then BBC director general sir Hugh Carleton-Greene. The original writer John Ryan famously sued over the claim. However, since then various clips from all three version of Pugwash (1957, 1974, 1998) have emerged. “Accidental” mispronunciations of “Master Mates” and “Seaman Willie Stains” have emerged on tapes. Even a misnaming of Tom The Cabin boy as Roger the Cabin boy (not much difference in regional English slang there anyway between the verbs to Tom and to Roger) have been shown to be in at least one episode.
Oddly, not many people actually caught on to the fact that to have one's pug washed in was in 16th century British naval slang for receiving F on M or M on M oral sex. A pugwash being the act itself.

She was a feminist, an out lesbian involved in a long term relationship with Blanche Oelrichs, the former wife of John Barrymore and a successful poet and play write herself. They were partners until Oelrichs' death in 1950.

@Marionville My Salvation army mother objected to his using "Buggered" but could find nothing objectionable in Kibosh.
Though the Bosch/Bosh was an unrelated term he used as a very derogatory term for Germans, (claiming it meant the contents of a cesspit) against whom he held a very large grudge for giving up to soon and denying him a chance to fight in the war.

It is interesting to (to literature teachers, at least) that Robinson Crusoe (arguably the first novel) was touted as a true story when published. Fiction was frowned upon because such works were "lies." However, religious parables/allegories such as Pilgrim's Progress were ok.
LenHazell53 replies on Jul 31, 2021:
The basic premise of the story was associated with the story of Alexander Selkirk, for purposes of marketing. However Selkirk's own story bare almost no resemblance to Defoe's ficticious tale

What we are seeing is a faction of the GOP, not the entire GOP, so in that regard I don't agree that Homeland Security declare it a terrorist organization.

LenHazell53 replies on Jul 31, 2021:
The fact that the grass roots of the party are not weeding out, but are instead tolerating or remaining wilfully ignorant of the subversive elements within their membership would imply a degree of near universal complicity in the GOP as a whole, do you not think?

@Fernapple I take your point, but I am not talking about Ex-whatever, I am myself to my shame ex-Mormon, I refused to remain ignorant and could not in good conscience remain in anyway affiliated with those horrible liars and con men.
But a person who will openly claim to be a staunch catholic for example, knowing what the catholic church has done and is doing , the hate they advocate, the prejudice and discrimination they indulge in and will admit openly they financially support this filth, don't ask me to respect that person in that situation. Their choice is a free choice to be a tacit advocate of monsters and that makes them an accessory before during and after the fact.

@Marionville The point with what today are seen as non Pc Comedies is that they actually mocked those "Non PC" characters and attitudes, and in the case of Alf Garnett showed his slow redemption.
Rather than mock and ridicule outdated attitudes today, people seem not only to want to hide them away, but also pretend they never existed.
Revisionist history is a very dangerous path to get on even if done with the best of intentions.
