My       main beef is with corona and how badly it was handled globally.              > The across the board anti-vaxxers, on the other hand, the       > ones who are reponsible for the return of measels, diptheria,       > whooping cough, rubella, etc... those people are PERNICIOUS       > MORONS who should go live on an isolated island somewhere so       > they can only infect each other.              If that was not possible, would you like them to be killed? I think they       should be allowed to live as they like. I am in no way forced to       interact with them, and they are in no way forced to interact with me.              There are public spaces, but if you start to regulate those, we are       straight on our way to 100% authoritarianism, so I'll take the risk that       there can be morons, anti-vaxers, killers and criminals in public spaces       any day, over overregulating who may or may not be part of society.              > (Talking at YOU, RFKJr.)              Is he in this forum? ;)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
