Fear and Loathing, a Rat Flu Odyssey

**Buster Highmen** · 12-11-2020, 03:13 PM

FWIW, in the Name of the Holy Scissor Scapings at the Alter of Eagles Nest (circa 2002), may I request a stay in such a vote?

Be it the obvious stupidity or malice or all the degrees in between, let us not follow in the f00tst3ps of the fallen Republican Party by asserting an essentially autocratic rule.

It may be that this is one of the few locales where such entrenched misguidedness finds a voice other than the Echo Chamber of the Fourth Reich and it's itinerate seditions and fallacy.

I release my moment.

Think about it this way. It's a pretty well known fact that retirement communities have among the highest rates of STD infection. Probably starting to see a similar psychology at play in regard to COVID. It's inevitable. People need real life human interaction. ESPECIALLY at the twilight of their years. Again, not saying it's necessarily "right", but I think I understand where they may be coming from on a psychological level. That's all.

You should own that you're "cool with it", which lots of us numnums might interpret as blessing the irresponsible potential spread. Playing the age card is no excuse. Kid.

What? A vote? Fuck that.

Zero. Or infinity. It won’t sink in with some people. Ever.

Splat is the muscle. Here, we have one guy who wrote for Powder and started a ski company we all loved. He’s also the coolest guy you’ll ever meet.
If you’re driving him up a wall, take a lap, take a deep breath, and find a way to knock it off. Seriously.

The fact is we don't give two shits about poor choices people have made daily for decades that kills them and their families

Imagine what better control of the food people are eating would do to healthcare costs.

What happened to "OMG Obamacare death panels!"
Also, lots of evidence of folks with NO comorbidities getting sick and dying. Callous disregard for life isn't a positive trait.

I'm sure the old forum adage of "he's a cool guy in real life" holds true in this instance....

But currently, he is on a bit of a power trip. If he can't handle the heat of being called on it, maybe he shouldn't be in the kitchen.

How righteous of you to be chiming in.

What does peace and love vibes have to do with shit regarding a complete takeover of our freedoms?

Fuck off with your pretentious bullshit. So we skied together in the past. Big fucking deal. I could say the Obama years and Trump years didn't treat you well either. So here we are. You have your opionions and I have mine. But thank you for projecting your own health bullshit you dealt with on to me thinking I'm not okay for some reason because I don't believe in the same fucked up herd mentality you have.

You mean the 106 congresspeople, Texas AG and Trump or social distancing and masks?

Wait ... people still believe in the mask bullshit?

If justice doesn't prevail, be prepared to become the United States of China. Amazing how so many are blind to what's truly going on.

Sorry, I don't follow. There were 2 choices.

Well, it's obvious that a collective effort exists to destroy America from the inside out without doing much more than simply releasing a gloried super flu into the wild that allows politicians to strip us of our freedoms while destroying small businesses around the entire country because of unjustified lockdowns, curfews, and other regulations limiting economic growth.

"The GREAT RESET," as called by the World Economic Forum; a fancy way of advocating for globalistic socialism.

Oh good, we are full circle back to the Great Reset.

Ignore is on.

Who in the fuck was this poster before they went batshit crazy?

Nick Pappagiorgio ??? Hmmm, never heard of him.

So, masks and social distancing.

Can anyone in today's class define socialism and fascism and then explain the difference between the two without googling definitions?

And stop quoting him. Defeats the purpose of the ignore list.

He's amusingly demented, good for entertainment in these otherwise boring times.

Well, it's obvious that a collective effort exists to destroy America from the inside out without doing much more than simply releasing yoga to the masses

It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids, without the knowledge of the individual, certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.

Yoga pussifies our country and makes us a buncha prancified wimps when we really oughta be powerlifting and training for our next MMA match while collecting ordnance for our houses, cars and boats. And drinking Black Rifle Coffee (TM).

You always try to play it both ways, everyone here realizes that but you. you started off your comment by saying "who are us to say" and "it's up to them". That certainly doesn't come off as you saying that it's not right which is what you are now trying to claim.
