    Anyone protesting anything during this pandemic is an utter moron equalled across the board. BLM, Debenhams, National Party, Gemma, Counter protesting any of the protests.

    Trade unionists standing up for a fair deal are exactly the same as a group of cranks led by an attendee of Nazi rallies? These arguments are getting more desperate.

    Standard debating tactic. When you know you're supporting deplorables, all you can do is to label everyone as deplorable so then it doesn't matter.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    They are bringing in the evils of reasonable working conditions, pay etc. Also they don't support the idea that migrants should be left to drown at sea.

    So you could see where some people might have an issue with them.

    Getting to peak stupidity now; just as I figured.

    "All protesters are morons in this time of a pandemic... except members of a Trade Union" :rolleyes:

    The cognitive dissonance is astounding. As for me, well I know Covid is mainly a plandemic to deprive us of our
    rights, with little to no effect on 99.95% of the population.

    Some on here might scoff at those two lines directly above, but they have zero credibility if they think being part of a
    Trade Union keeps them immune - Even if it does, using the old "Think of the Children" type guilt-trip - how are their
    friends/relations/neighbours etc immune. They can't be all members of Trades Unions.

    And ye jeer at the likes of me.. :pac:

    I heard that some NP members showed up at a Debenhams picket and started telling the workers that immigrants were to blame for taking their jobs, and the Debenhams workers weren't long telling them to get lost. So I guess they feel a bit jilted.

    Another fine example of how the average person isn't as thick as their supporters. They only seem to be able to attract the stupid, mentally ill and c*nts of Ireland.

    Ye, we do, especially when you used phrases like "plandemic". Seriously? It's all fake and staged?

    1,900 people in Ireland have actually died from this. That's 1,900 families mourning a loved one. A quarter of our ICU beds are occupied by Covid patients. 60,000 cases so far, and up to half of those are showing long term symptoms including breathing difficulties, chronic fatigue, brain fog and organ failure.

    But yeah, it's all a big conspiracy to... well, yeah, nobody seems to know. And I'm not sitting through a gemtrails or dee rant to find out.

    More crap... 'From' and 'With' are not interchangeable..
    What's the figures for C 19 (without any other existing ailments) casualties... Answer = We'll never know.

    What exactly is your point?
    That people who die of COVID19 were going to die soon anyhow?
    Are you saying that we shouldn't bother trying to make sure that the vulnerable in society are as safe as possible?

    Chances are high that if I contract COVID19, I will die. Why is your selfish existence more worthy of my unselfish existence? I'd like to be able to tell my wife and kids.

    @ Seth Brundle..

    My point is; and based on my last point alone - without going off on any tangents like whataboutery and guilt trips from interpolated inferences - What is the mortality rate from C 19 alone? As, knowing this, it might give folk an idea of how serious it is or isn't. Lies, half-truths and misinformation all lead to what we have here - division - which is part of the plan imo. Surely the medical profession/HSE have the numbers, or a very close approximation.

    And, if it was as serious as it's supposed to be why have many 'had' it 'without knowing'... Here's a rhetorical question: How many people in olden times contracted the bubonic plague without suffering from any of it's symptoms?

    I've nothing else to say, because whataboutery, tangents, putting words into mouths, strawmanning etc etc etc

    You are entitled to your views but that doesn't stop me from thinking what I do about you!
    I've nothing else to say to you apart from a curt statement that would get me banned (and I'm better than that)!
    You and your conspiracy nonsense aren't worth the effort of getting myself banned.

    What is the mortality rate from C 19 alone?

    From publicly available figures, in Ireland, the fatality rate is 3.15%.

    You know how serious it is. It can kill people. It can leave up to half the people who have contracted it with ongoing health issues and it's too soon to say if they will pass or if those unfortunate enough to develop them are going to have to live with them for life, if their life expectancy has been significantly shortened, etc. It's potentially fatal to large proportion of the population. People with disbetesome, for example. Healthy, fit diabetics with well controlled type 1 diabetes can die from this. People with auto immune disease. People having or recently completed chemo. People living with chronic illness who otherwise don't expect to pop their clogs anytime soon and older people. It has the potential to swamp this cohort of the population and render our hospitals incapable if dealing with heart attacks, strokes, accidents etc. Is that not serious enough for you?

    Are you not a bit embarrassed to be coming out with 'plandemic' and other crap like that when you've shown yourself to be so completely ignorant of the subject that you're incapable of looking up an easily available figure like that?

    My genuine question to you is: why do you think there's a plandemic? And what would the desired outcome of a plandemic be?

    The level of conspiracy there is astounding though that all of the worlds health authorities, media, politicians, civil and public servants are colluding on a "plandemic" on this global conspiracy to deprive people globally of their rights - of course people scoff. I mean it is really extremely delusional and frankly impossible. I actually feel sorry for you that you genuinely believe this kind of stuff.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Pointless arguing with covidiots and Q types. No matter how ridiculous their beliefs, they cannot back down because their whole world system will collapse.

    I would genuinely love to know the answer to this!

    I mean, in Ireland, the same two parties have swapped power now for 98 years, and will probably continue to get over 50% of the vote between them for the next couple of elections at least. Who, then, stands to profit from a "plandemic" that's ****ing up the economy? It makes literally no sense...
