    Let's see your research proving vaccines are safe.  They're not.  They're like seat-belts; they kill more than they save.



  • Vaccines don't cause autism and people who think they do are morons. And if you think that the minuscule risk of complications justifies having preventable infectious diseases killing people then you're just being a stupid dick.



  • @DescentJS said:

    Andrew Wakefield's fradulent study has probably caused more suffering and death than even Morbs has been able to achieve.

    So there was a study behind that well-known issue, I thought it was just popular wisdom. And of course the vaccine peddlers and their political puppets want to bury the truth, they know that once enough people are autists they will control the world.

    Why don't we ask Charlie Babbitt who can't focus on his Lamborghini business as a direct consequence of minor complications.

    Just to be pedantic, I believe DescentJS's point is that the overall risk of complications is small, not that all complications, in the few cases that occur, will be minor. The benefit to society as a whole, and to the vast majority of individuals that make up society, from preventing serious infectious diseases outweighs the harm from the rare serious complications. This, of course, is a value judgement that you are free to disagree with, even though you're wrong.

    It's not a value judgement, it's a well-known ideology called fascism (totalitarism would also work here). What is the next step, kill the carriers for the benefit of the society as a whole?



    When people start using words like "wrong" it's a slippery slope to gulagism.

    Neither fascism nor totalitarianism. At most, a weak form of only one of the four main tenants of authoritarianism, and that only if the state forcibly compels vaccinations. Only anarchists claim that the state has no authority whatsoever to compel individual to take actions contrary to their own individual interests to achieve some higher societal benefit. Reasonable people may disagree on what the limits of that authority should be and where the balance between individual and societal should be drawn; those are value judgements.

    Of course, I don't expect to persuade you; you and drurowin have a long history of showing yourselves not to be reasonable people. Enough said.

    Society has no authority to compel individuals. Society has the army and the law enforcement officers.

  • @drurowin said:

    I never said they were foolproof. I said they save lives.

    Airbags protect against something completely different. Seat belts keep a person contained in the car (so they don't go flying through the windshield, out a door or into the ceiling). Airbags don't do that. What airbags do do is provide cushioning so your head, for example, doesn't go flying into the steering wheel. Airbags are specifically designed to work with seat belts. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if airbags-without-seat-belts were more lethal than nothing.

    Seriously, do you not know anything about cars? This is basic stuff, dude. I feel like I'm explaining this to my four year-old kid..

    Kid: Daddy Morbs, why do I have to put on the seat belt? We already have airbags.

    Morbs: Awww.. tousles kid's hair Well, seat belts and airbags do very different things, sweetie. Now listen carefully because daddy is only going to say this once and if you ever ask again daddy is going to call you "retarded"...

    Advice: if you can't find that elusive fuse, just replace all of them with nails then start the car with the seat belt unbuckled. Whichever nail is warmer after a while is possibly* the culprit.

  • @Ronald said:

    Ah, a flip-flopper.

    Perhaps. My opinions have changed as I have matured. I was raised in a conservative home. I drifted toward the liberal side when I was in college. As I have gotten older, I have decided that the conservatives were right after all. Sort of. I don't really fit neatly into any pigeon holes; I mostly moderately conservative, but my opinions on specific issues range from quite liberal to very conservative.

    At the same time, the Republican and Democratic parties have had varying amounts of influence from their far-right and far-left wings, generally moving in the opposite direction to my own leanings. So I have tended to affiliate with whichever party most closely reflected my own opinions.

    @Ronald said:

    I generally wait until the last minute, too. I'm a procrastinator. It has nothing to do with who's winning. I've probably voted on the losing side more often than the winning.

    My car is too old to have a warning chime. It does have a light, but it's easy to ignore. Some cars are fucking nuts, though. My mom's car.. I'll unbuckle when driving up the driveway and it just starts frantically pinging until you want to punch a hold in the fucking dash. It's not a seat belt reminder, it's just fucking trying to annoy you into keeping your seat belt on. If I had one of those, I'd disable it on principle, but still wear a seat belt.



  • @HardwareGeek said:

    This brings us to the coveted Morbs Vote™. Not coveted for yourself, but coveted for your opponent: every single person Morbs has voted for has lost (sole exception: Scott Brown circa 2010, but he lost eventually. He also ended up being a pussy liberal, so Morbs kinda regrets his vote, except it was heartwarming to take a shit on Ted Kennedy's still-drunk corpse. Even being condemned to Hell for eternity, losing his Senate seat must've been a slap in old Teddy's blotchy, red, bloated face.)

    There are 21 blue states and 24 red states, based on the last four presidential elections, so there are more states that are likely to elect a candidate I would agree with than not. However, I live in one of the bluest of the blue, one of the five in which the Democratic margin of victory was more than 20%.

    Oops, I was wrong; it was a little hard to distinguish the shades of blue on the Wikipedia map I was looking at. When I clicked on it and can see the legend, I see that WA is only the 13th bluest state, in the 2nd shade of blue. The Democratic margin of victory was still >10%, though, and I live in Seattle metro area, which is the bluest part of the state. Therefore, my basic point is still valid; my preferred candidates and ballot measures have very little chance of winning.

"All plaid must be laundered at least once a year."   "You probably shouldn't blow marijuana smoke directly in the face of a newborn infant.
