I posted this - turned out it was last post on page, so got missed
Whole fiasco is better in Rejected anyhow
In perspective this is the first or maybe second reply to you in a week or more
So, don't put it on cc .. you are a bit late outa the gate for that one
cc had closed off viewing your attack team and has not responded to y'all in last week in the main .
cc no longer reads you or your "team" as you guys outright called it it in trying to split people here into 2 groups & cause division ... and .. thus it wouldn't be possible to respond to it IF she did want to (which of course she chooses not to)
I will say I sure don't miss your female hate ... the "team" conspiracies & group nastiness etc.
So .... if cc doesn't read any of y'all and doesn't respond to any of y'all .... it's a win / win for all .. if you are true to your words
and so in light of that, ... your problem is???????
Is this a continuation of something from the main board? Old Herman hasn't been following the back and forth between you and Freud. It stopped being entertaining long ago.
It was a reply to Brick - He made accusations & stated a great problem - I replied
As you can see above, there can be no more problem as I do not read NOR respond to the "Team" .. have not much if any for a week or more
I intend to make that permanent
So there is no problem .. and has not been one for a week
All is good

That is kind of a shame. Old Brick is sharp. Blazor is my kind of people. Oliver Clothesoffe is a good guy. That cw gal is a smartass and I like that. Freud gets goofy when he disagrees with someone. Nobody is perfect. Not even old Herman.
cc is a duplicitous cunt.
There....I said it.
I can see her Muppet Baby level troll angles a mile away and even before she's fully formed them for herself.
Ceec, I suggest we pull a Justine and hit the great reset. This shit went South over vaccines. And I am fully vaxxed and I thought you presented a better case. But, with countries dropping mandate, and restrictions, it is time to move on from what was said in those discussions.
Look, we still have a power hungry piece of shit who wants to destroy working people leading our government. Taxes are going up, energy jobs are leaving and our refugee system is a frickin joke. And then there is that little old conflict in my ancestral homeland. Lots to work with and not against I say.

There IS no team. It's in her misfiring head.
There is a group of people who find cc's attitude to others non-conducive to forum harmony. It is not organised. It is not a team. They do not even see eye to eye on some issues.
But here she is, implying that there is some kind of conspiracy against her. She simply cannot accept that more than one person is tired of her aggression and arrogance.

No idea why brick & co. wanted to restart it .. but as of recent, It ain't me

Pretend the last two years didn't happen? Let those responsible for it get off scott free?
So they can do it all over again in another form?
Hrmmm.
How does "get fucked" sound? You might be content to let the tyranny slide, I imagine I might be inclined to lock the episode away if I had bought into it hook line and sinker too. I didn't... but that didn't stop me from getting fucked sideways with the result. Add to that the levels of coercion I personally faced to fall into line with the rest of you, line up, get shot full of an experimental treatment and be complicit in the developmental retardation of an entire generation of children while allowing PC, NDP and Liberal oligarchs to make off like bandits... no, I don't think I'm inclined to let that slide through to the keeper.
Especially not while they roll back their emergency war measures to allow people to protest a politically approved war in Asia. To be clear; none of this is explicitly yours or cee's fault, but after two years of affording everyone the right to choose for themselves on the Covid plandemic issue while being told repeatedly I should not be afforded that same basic consideration, I'm inclined to side with Dinky on this. I'm not going to let it slide. Not because I wish to torment anyone here for choices they made that ran counter to their own interests or even my own, but because those choices enable the actual perpetrators who have fucked over my life (as well as your own).
I like you. I like cee. hell, I'll even tolerate the chug on occasion. But don't expect that to include kombucha enemas and sparkly unicorn farts, I'll have to disappoint you otherwise. I undertake to treat you as I am prepared to be treated - that is respect the gives you (a) the right to make your own choices without oversight from yours truly and (b) the right to call your judgement into question after the fact should those choices backfire on you.
From which you are free to grin and bear it (and possibly learn from the mistake to your own betterment, which can only help those in your company, myself included) or beg and plead for the approbation to be shuffled summarily into the closet and ignored.
A wise man once said the Devil hates to be mocked. I'm not the devil, I can stand a little fun at my expense.
I'm just tired of the manic covid-mania that has gripped everyone around the world and in our real lives.
Last December we learned that my wife's vaxxed parents were having to sell us being at a Christmas gathering to the rest of the siblings and their adult aged children. They never mentioned it to us personally.
My inlaws are in the 80's and don't care ultimately but they were hardcore first then second then third jabbers...
I probably ruined a bit of solidarity when our relatives asked us what we thought about covid, jabs, and the rest. Some of them sneered at us or tried to avoid us after. My brother in law all but called me a raging fuckwit to my face.
THEY WERE THE FUCKING PROBLEM....not us...as has now transpired.
I don't expect any apologies though. People get caught up in paranoia and mass psychosis.
But I won't forget either.
When I was 16 I drove out to our weekly relatives/family meeting place because my mum said I needed to attend sometimes....roast some hotdogs...pick some blueberries.... get to know my extended family....at least once in awhile.
My cousins from my mum's older sister were there....a bit younger, hanging out in a camper van, and they were shit-talking and I joined in.
Suddenly, their father tore through the door and accused me of corrupting his kids and teaching them how to curse...dragged me out by my head... and began to unload on me verbally... calling me spoiled, arrogant, a bad influence, a piece of shit. He started shit talking about my father who was not present and saying I was just like him.
Everybody was in shock.... that anybody in our family would do that to a kid. They tried to talk him down but he was really drunk. He was spitting hate on my face...and I didn't understand.... I had always looked up to him. After he went for a walk, I excused myself and drove away.
I got a half arsed apology aka excuse later but I never got a sense of remorse.
So people can say move on and I will, but I won't ever fucking forget.
Onward... but not upward?
I wonder why this kind of shit keeps happening... any ideas?
@UoT, I have beem consistent that lockdowns were not a solution to anything. Repeating that mistake every time there was a spike in cases was pure insanity. History will not be kind to our medical "experts" and the politicians who carried out their recommendations.

Understandable Erica.
Remember when they were yelling for everyone to wear any mask they could get their hands on, despite the fact that they knew cloth masks and anything other than a N95 were essentially useless?
And what about the flu? There hasn't been a flu season in two years, it's as if the flu vanished when the media stopped talking about it. How weird is that.
Consider this: they put everyone on lockdown and kept them out of the sun, causing vitamin D levels to drop, which harmed our immune systems. Maybe Biden should send us some free vitamin D with those government Covid tests.
...and the crack pipes.

I have to agree with you there Erica. I shake my head at the religious fervour of the galloping Scientism as it vurps up the "Trust The Science" mantra, but throw down and facts and figures regarding the risk of children dying from Koof and see what kind of a reaction you get. And that's before you get around to pointing out the elevated risks faced by younger persons when vaccinated.
Fash.... whether in or out of school, children are still being affected. Younger kids are typically learning to speak much later in their development and the mass covering of faces is a leading cause why. They can hear the words, but they aren't seeing how they get formed. The additional damage in terms of emotional development is a little harder to determine, but I put it to you that if facial expressions are not being observed on a regular basis then things like empathy and compassion are going to take a back seat in the years to come. We have effectively stunted the development of a generation of people and there are those in this would who are braying for more of it.
And Shen... if you and I are to look purely at what is important to our individual selves, it is very difficult for either of us to disagree with the other on how useless lockdowns truly are. But they sure as hell seem to be suiting someone's agenda, hence the near constant fear porn being hurled at us all of what will happen if we don't maskurbate. You would be familiar with the notion of "government says to do this, so we do this"; well some people are so mentally fried by it all that they are continuing to do this in spite of the government pivoting to a new distraction as their old Punch and Judy routine is in danger of the bollocks it is.
All of you should be wondering... where's that Dr Fauci gremlin these days? You know, the leading expert on all things Covid... he seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. Doesn't it seem just mildly strange to you that people are continuine to drop dead within days of their vaccinations, but all eyes are being directed to a brutal invasion in a far off land where surprisingly little footage of Russian atrocities are being held up as proof that all is what our media pundits say it is? Or why it is permissable to fuck over an entire nation of people by turning off their access to banking instead of hitting them where it really hurts... like not buying any Russian oil for example and maybe reopening the Keystone Pipeline project? I should be seeing ministers on both sides of the aisle screaming for that to happen... nah, but they'll let you out to make a ton of noise in the streets about "standing with Urkraine". Got news for you - the cunt running the show over there was making fun of Beijing Biden only two weeks ago how there was no impending threat of Russian invasion; now he's handing out guns (mostly to gang members I hear) and shelling decommissioned nuclear reactors on his own soil to give the CBC something to wail endlessly about.
In between complaining about Poo-tin turning off the Fecesbook spigot. Funny, I seem to remember that happening to Trump once and that was okay... guess its alright only when our oligarchs do it, but not theirs. NEVER theirs.
We need to get on the same page about this and we need to get smart about it. Starting with a blanket refusal to fear what they tell us to fear, at least until such time as we can be satisfied there is a legitimate and pressing need to fear it. A disease that kills less than 0.2% of the poplation (and that's being generous) is no excuse for the wholesale destruction of our society. Just as wagging our finger at third rate foreign oligarchs standing up to NATO training their weapons on his backyard isn't an excuse to revisit out of date 1980s era tensions while the cost of oil skyrockets, along with the cost of everything dependant upon it.
Parliament is not your friend. They are all out to fuck you in the arse because you're easy meat. Make it hard for them, it's not as though they're in the business of making life easy for you.

Ooooooh, I 'memberrrr....
I saw a graph plotting the Covid bump against other maladies and morbidities, They all had corresponding bumps, just in the opposite direction. Almost as though the Koof totals were being supplemented by the case totals of other diseases. That's probably why "no flu this year" happened.... they were getting recorded as Pinko Pox infections.
They must think we're stupid. I sincerely hope they aren't correct in thinking so, but sometimes I wonder...
Meanwhile....

The additional damage in terms of emotional development is a little harder to determine, but I put it to you that if facial expressions are not being observed on a regular basis then things like empathy and compassion are going to take a back seat in the years to come. We have effectively stunted the development of a generation of people and there are those in this would who are braying for more of it.
I believe it UoT..
Lockdown and restrictions have been so bad for children.

Onward... but not upward?
I wonder why this kind of shit keeps happening... any ideas?
The upward part of the equation is important. You got no upward, you're impotent instead.
I blame monopoly capitalism, the military industrial complex, and tin foil hats.
I blame complacency, along with the Silent Generational theory that you (a) have something to lose and (b) can protect it by dint of keeping your head below the parapet so as not to present a target. That shit doesn't work in my experience, they already know damn well where you are and have no problem in tightening their grip to see what else you'll grudge them.
I much prefer giving them a concrete reason to think twice about trying to squeeze more out of me. Buckets of stinky turds thrown in their general direction works wonders... or anything that approximates that really.
Complacency, compliance, and complicity are certainly culpable. As all cede control.

And Shen... if you and I are to look purely at what is important to our individual selves, it is very difficult for either of us to disagree with the other on how useless lockdowns truly are. But they sure as hell seem to be suiting someone's agenda, hence the near constant fear porn being hurled at us all of what will happen if we don't maskurbate. You would be familiar with the notion of "government says to do this, so we do this"; well some people are so mentally fried by it all that they are continuing to do this in spite of the government pivoting to a new distraction as their old Punch and Judy routine is in danger of the bollocks it is.
It's all about control. Libtards love controlling the masses. Fear and misinformation are the best weapons in their arsenal.

And they're not the only ones. I know it's unpalatable to admit to it, but the conservatives have a history of doing the exact same thing.
Reflect on that the next time you encounter a parental advisory sticker in your cd collection. Tipper Gore enjoyed a lot of support from chest beating bleeding hearts on the right to make that happen. Know your history.

That is true of the US. American conservatives marriage of convenience with Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority.
Falwell' & several other similar con men

Pat Robertson, Oral Roberts, Jimmy Swaggart and Ralph Reed to name but a few wealthy influential con artists. It was the worst thing to happen to the conservative movement. They completely hijacked the Republican Party and alienated millions of true conservatives and nearly all independents. Good riddance to them.

I couldn't fucking stand them. They had real influence in North America when we came to Canada in the 90's. They were the cancel culture of the right.
American evangelism. The most lucrative con ever perpetrated...and they still get away with it.

They have lost all the culture wars and no longer have much if any influence over politics. Praise Jesus for that. :laugh3:
I've watched videos of these con artists and seen the mass hypnosis they can affect.
What sort of culture thinks that is a good thing???
That was a bible belt movement.... and it fell apart just as quick as the Eureka Stockade did....

Actually it was not Jesus, rather it was the acc_devil that took away their influence & now uses it for his (or her :icon_wink:) purposes

Net assets of his "ministry" last year; $394,798,811.
Just another con artist making money from the fear and paranoia of American citizens. Even when dead.

Sorry for kibitzing around & confusing ... I detest all televangelists with a passion .. charlatans to the core ..
even Graham was a slick salesman, not a preacher
Some of them tried to help Reps get votes I suppose .. but those votes were there without the salesmen .. so while some tried, I doubt many added to the vote total significantly

Jesus H. His boy took over the minsitry. And he has that mega charity, Samartan's Purse.
To the American mind, anything that turns a buck is fair play.
Toxic food, cigarettes, sugar loaded drinks, firearms, news media, violence, fake wrestling, opiates and of course, religion.
If there's money in it, America will corporatise it.

That describes most countries..
As for faith, I remember Seoul saying that the church has more influence in South Korea than any country he has ever seen.
It is akin to ALL capitalist countries...but which other country has a massive evangelical industry, or a fast food/soft drink industry, or a massive firearms industry, or massive tobacco corporations, or fake news outlets, or drug company opiate dealers???
In what country did Scientology, Jehovah's Witnesses, Christadelphians and Mormons arise?
As a Christian, I'm sure you'll have views on the integrity of American religious organisations.
Comparing other countries to America isn't comparing apples with apples. Of all the nations of the world past and present, America is unique.

Well, if they confined their filthy habits to their own country, you'd have a point.
They don't have the market on merits or misconduct....
Victoria is a good case study.
No country is free of those commodities.
So why pin what no country is free of onto a country that is the most free, or up until recently, more free than anywhere else.... for better and worse?
