There are two types of people in the world: those who can extrapolate based on incomplete data.

Thats wonderful. Dude canât answer a simple question.
The far fetched examples to illustrate principles are as useful as a PETA member saying: well if youâre for hunting deer, youâre for hunting humans, because theyâre all mammals. Or an anti-gun person saying âWell you 2nd amendment types must think everyone should be allowed to own nukes.â
Itâs annoying nonsense and doesnât deserve a response.
Is that because of itâs alleged liberal bent. I watch it every week almost. Itâs usually pretty funny until after weekend update. Then it goes down hill for the most part. It still makes me laugh.
And there it is in a nutshell ladies and gentleman. It appears from this post that people are afraid they are going to MicroChip them More conspiracy nutjobism.

I didnât see it as a âsimple questionâ though. It was a loaded question, especially within the context of the overall tenor of this portion of the thread. I saw it as a âgotchaâ question, and your reaction to it affirmed my impression.
In fact, your question wasnât relevant to the post you responded to (hinting at the âgotchaâ intent of the question), and his response to your question attempted to sidestep it and draw the discussion back to what he was actually saying.
And your response to it: "So youâre an apologist. Great. So happy to have more people hellbent on bringing measles and polio back to protect âfreedomâ. ⌠showed the âgotchaâ nature of your question. Apologist? OK. The intent of the question was to conclude, therefore, that he wanted to bring back measles!!!
He could see right through the duplicity of your âsimple questionâ. It goes that way a lot around here. (And then it triggers someone starting a thread complaining that someone else concluded he wanted people to die. In principle, thatâs what you did here, albeit to a less harsh conclusion this time.)
Such as accusing someone of wanting to bring back measles??
If you want decent discussion, be decent yourself.

unfortunately, it sounds like the post pandemic plan⌠have to have a disease free utopia after allâŚ
And so it begins:
Stopped before entering Home Depot today, masks were mandatory and they did a temperature check.
Exposure by omission.
Your phone will give you a green check for everyone around you except that one guyâŚ

No, it was always bent. I stopped watching it because it isnât funny.
It was a hypothetical.
Should citizens be forced to receive tracking chip implants or brain chip implants that allegedly allow human-machine interface ( if some greater good can be imagined by government for it)?
What is your answer?
Same here. Except Iâve never had the flu or the vaccine in my life. Iâm 53.
The idea of government forcing people to do anything doesnât sit well with me in general. There exists a need to evaluate the needs of the many vs the needs of the few. Ask the hypothetical question of whether a person who is a known risk of transmitting a disease to another and I think most people would agree that warrants some measure of action.
For example most states have laws on the books that say you canât knowingly expose someone else to an STD such as HIV without their consent. Now look at the current COVID situation. Is it your responsibility to get tested for COVID and likewise is it your responsibility to stay away from those that donât have it? Different mode of transmission, and in fact a much higher risk to do so since it requires no consent to do so.
Where do you draw the line?

Iâve no patience for antivaxxers or antivaxxer apologists. I have little patience for apologist apologists either.
Hereâs the logic (modus ponens) why one can say Paul wants measles back:
If you allow personal freedom for people not to get a vaccine shot for a highly contagious disease, that disease spreads (see measles, 2019 outbreaks)
Paul wants the personal freedom to not get a vaccine shot (see his posts)
Therefore, if Paul gets what he wants, that disease spreads.
So you are for the govt forcing people to get immunized no matter their personal beliefs.
Just want to make sure I clearly understand your position.
Full disclosure my neighbor AND my mother in law both were infected by polio as kids.
Just curious. If I get the vaccine, why should I care if someone else gets vaccinated? Same goes for if I donât. Why should others care as long as they get vaccinated?
