A world-wide loss that size twice each week. Seems pretty clear, maybe it's not a worthy number? |

People are people, some are just despicable enough to allude one loss of life to another in order to suit their own agenda or prove their point. Good for you!

Good for you! PS: Pretty sure allude doesn't mean the same as compare or link, if that's what you were going for. |

I always wonder if the crowd that thinks wearing a mask is the greatest affront to freedom since the Alien and Sedition Acts exhibit the same behavior when it is time to take their shoes off at the TSA checkpoint.

I guess that means that you weren't happy that they crashed planes into buildings, but if they had instead randomly killed 2,977 people scattered all of over, you would have been ok with it? Doug "just enjoying how you are ignoring the number of people who have died in one situation, but are all worked up about them in another" Goodman PS - since my initial post 57,576 more people have died, if we again allow the conspiracy theorists and naysayers their 90% of mistaken / faked deaths, that still means that 2 more 9/11 events have happened (albeit scattered around the planet, so not nearly as meaningful as if they had been visiting two buildings in Manhattan).

The one good thing about these threads is that they let you know which side of the aisle the responding members stand.

On a website dedicated to the discussion of cardboard, that is important ... why?

Because you are in a section of the site titled "off topic", there are plenty of cardboard conversations in the "on topic" sections

Yes, this is the "off topic" section. But if you look at the where you click for this section, you will see this underneath: "General Chat and off topic stuff. Please no politics or religion." [I've taken the liberty of bolding the pertinent portion.] So when we're being politely asked not to discuss politics, why is Cliff's statement - Quote:
But more importantly, my initial question hasn't been answered by Cliff or you. In a more general sense, in either this section or in any of the sections of this forum - In any section of this forum, why would it be a "good thing" to "know which side of the aisle the responding members stand?"

These test group numbers are skewed. Demographics indicate N54 board members are in the high risk catagory for COVID mortality. This could be problematic for card shows. Nobody WANTS to get sick, and few believe in fate anymore. Using 9/11 numbers by using COVID deaths makes sense to some people because they feel both are both foreign attacks on US soil. I just don't see how it relates at all. It seems like it is kind of trvializing 9/11. I guess deaths are deaths in some people eyes. Just like people are people, regardless of how inspiring, health conscience, or contriubuting they are, or have been to society.

I got mine because I figured I'd rather take my chances with the shot than with the virus (this is coming from someone who hates needles). I don't hold it against anyone who doesn't get the shot; there are a lot of question marks about it, and reasonable people can look at them and opt out.

My wife got vaccinated at the first opportunity (she's a front line worker). I got my second vaccination last month. Can't wait until they have one ready for my kids.
Development of the vaccine was definitely an accelerated process. Of course, the increases in technology (particularly the computing power needed for advanced genomics) have been logarithmic over the past decades, since the country/world last made such a concerted, wholerhearted, and funded effort to develop a vaccine for an emergency. Anyway, everyone must make their own decisions, but I get the feeling that a lot of the people waiting don't really understand the science behind these vaccines, which is understandable. Really a public service campaign to educate the public on how these vaccines work, how they were developed and tested, and the risks involved would do a great service to the country. |
