    lol @ that post ^

    Arson, vandalism, and looting between May 26 and June 8 were tabulated to have caused $1–2 billion in insured damages nationally—the highest recorded damage from civil disorder in U.S. history, surpassing the record set during the 1992 Los Angeles riots.

    The "main aggressors" were school burning scum like this guy

    But you are the brightest?

    Should unvaccinated people be forced into unemployment?

    Trudeau,a nasty piece of work? Could be because his government is not secure and he is not a native french speaker,Quebecois.Or is there something else?

    An Antifa member attempted to discredit the protesters by waving a confederate flag.

    The carnage caused by BLM is as clear to see as that guy who never posts but rather hides behind the like button all day long.

    they've decided that a boo-boo on the arm is too traumatic for them.

    its self-inflicted, they made the choice



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,037 ✭✭✭growleaves


    Don't mock someone talking about when they were sick, that makes you look like a scumbag.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,177 ✭✭✭Fandymo


    At least with the Rittenhouse verdict people now know they can defend themselves when attacked by BLM rioters.

    not hard to tell at all, the evidence is clear that vaccines reduce severe illness, that is just a fact.

    testing still happening, case numbers still being reported and are slowly falling.

    I'm very highly educated. I know words, i have the best words, nobody has better words then me.

    Would you also support forcing Irish people into unemployment if they refused to take a vaccine?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,539 ✭✭✭✭end of the road


    even if there were agents involved in jan 6 it doesn't change the fact that those involved in that inserection are dangerous individuals who's aim was to kill the vice president and take over the capital building.

    all because their dear leader told them the election was stolen from them even though it wasn't and quite simply the majority of americans had enough of him bringing shame on their country.

    if the vaccine was mandated by the business or government and they decided not to take it, then they are unable to fulfill the requirements of the job.

    you want them to be shielded from the consequences of their actions?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,037 ✭✭✭growleaves


    That's not really answering the question.

    You can't even bring yourself to say that you yourself support vaccine mandates.

    I want ordinary people protected from being forced into unemployment because they choose not to take a medicine yes.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 431 ✭✭Starfire20


    i thought i was clear....yes, i support vaccine mandates in a pandemic.

    why are they refusing the vaccine and why do they think they should have the right to potentially make other people sick and keep the pandemic going for longer ?



  • Posts: 6,045 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    WTF are you talking about? How in the blue hell did you get that from what I posted?

    Lol.....that's up there with "Halting sites are filthy because settled people sneak in at night and dump all their rubbish there" as one of the most ridiculous and idiotic posts in the history of this site.

    Couple of follow-up questions, then, based on that answer:

    One antifa member is waving all of those flags, then, or is it really only the one flag photographed multiple times?

    How do you know he's antifa and not a DJT supporter?

    You seem to hold the opinion that waving a confederate flag discredits their cause. Why is that? what's so toxic about those who wave confederate flags, in your opinion?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,246 ✭✭✭✭Dyr


    Allow me to point out the obvious to you, our bould hero bangs on about Nazis and then, like everyone who had their brain broken by Trump, suddenly shoehorns Trump in, as always. The only people bringing the previous president of the United States into this thread are those who are obsessed by him and the fact that more Americans voted for the guy than anyone else in history, bar the current President. Thats a lot of Trumpanzees knocking around, possibly only outnumbered by the amount of Nazis out there in some peoples minds


    Still, nice to see you lads trying to run with the Nazi angle, based off a blatant attempt to discredit the protest by a fifth columnist. Dutiful as always 😂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,037 ✭✭✭growleaves


    'WTF are you talking about? How in the blue hell did you get that from what I posted?'

    I asked you a simple question: are you yourself a supporter of vaccine mandates?

    This is a thread about protests against vaccine mandates. Since you oppose the protestors, I'm curious if you support the measure they're protesting against.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,246 ✭✭✭✭Dyr


    Was the evidence not clear that vaccines prevent covid and the transmission of covid? 90 plus per cent being the figure that was bandied about. Or was that dangerous misinformation?



  • Posts: 6,045 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]



    Everyone in the country is now getting covid

    False

    and none of the measures stop it.

    Also false

    The mandates serve no purpose.

    A hattrick of falsehoods, in only two sentences/twenty small words. Quite impressive.

    Coercion is wrong and people should be free to choose what they have injected into their body. You should respect that and not ask people to produce excuses to satisfy you.

    By that exact same principle, employers should be free to choose who they want in their employment and what they expose their other employees and clientele to. You should respect that and not ask people to kowtow to idiots who are too gullible to avoid misinformation masquerading as 'just asking questions'.

    The vaccines are almost 100% safe. The few serious ailments which have an infinitesimally small chance of occurring have a much higher chance of happening when exposed to Covid and with much more serious consequences and symptoms. anyone who says they'd prefer to take their chances with COVID is an idiot who doesn't understand 1st year maths.

    "employers should be free to choose who they want in their employment and what they expose their other employees and clientele to. You should respect that" - so if someone doesn't want any Asians or women, say, working for him, that's ok by you? Or would you complain if an employer had a sign in their window saying Jobs Available, Apply Within, No Asians or Women? You've painted yourself into quite the corner with that statement.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,037 ✭✭✭growleaves


    'By that exact same principle, employers should be free to choose who they want in their employment and what they expose their other employees and clientele to.'

    No because a human being is not a 'thing'. Being in the presence of another human being is not equivalent to having a substance injected into your bloodstream.

    You have redefined human beings as biological hazards - based on their theoretical potential to be infectious. Terrible.

    It’s always someone else’s fault. Can it not be said that there is a bad element in the camp? Back to conspiracy theories we go.

    1. I was specifically talking about the make-up of the cohort protesting, the people who were out and about and their intentions for doing so
    2. I never mentioned anything about who or what I support, or who or what I oppose, you're surmising that using your own biases
    3. I don't support a blanket "get vaccinated.....or else" threat, but luckily we don't have anything of the sort here and won't in the foreseeable future. Luckily, you and the rest of the rat-lickers have the vaccinated to thank for that fact.
    4. I do support business' right to protect their staff and their customers (and, by extension, their reputation) by insisting that staff are up-to-date with the current 'best practice' guidleines for that industry.

    I wouldn't want to be on a bus driven by someone with epilepsy, in case they had a fit and killed everyone. By the same token, I wouldn't want my elderly relatives being attended to by a medical professional who refuses to abide by the current medical advice being handed down by people in the know. That's basic common sense. If your job says you have to do X, and you don't wanna do it, then hand in your notice. There are 100,000 conditions of employment written into contract / employment law that have been in place for decades, yet we don't have convoys of idiots honking horns to protest about them.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,037 ✭✭✭growleaves


    I don't appreciate being called a 'rat-licker' whatever that is. I didn't surmise anything I just asked you a question. You're up to your neck in dodgeball rationalisations which I don't accept.



  • Posts: 6,045 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    The only people bringing the previous president of the US into this are the shitebags walking around waving pro-Trump and anti-Biden flags. Still, nice to see you trying to run with the TDS angle again, talk about sore losers. And, to top it all off, we have the "more votes" argument trotted out. More idiocy from fools who don't realise they are shooting themselves in the foot every time they mention this fact. I mean, when you boil it down to the bare facts, what you're saying when you say "more Americans voted for the guy than anyone else in history, bar the current President" is

    Out of all the losers who ever lost the US presidential race, Trump is the biggest loser of all



  • Posts: 6,045 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    That question was answered, comprehensively. You've avoided addressing the answers given because you thought you had some gotcha question that you fired out to all and sundry, including to me when I was talking about something completely different, and now that someone has provided them you're not man enough to address the answers given.

    Also, I couldn't give a flying fcuk what you accept or do not accept. That should come as no surprise, given you should fundamentally feel the same about 99.99% of the world's population.



  • Posts: 6,045 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Another "gotcha".

    I realise that nuance, subtext and context are alien to people who are devoid of critical thinking, but I assumed that even the most ardent anti-vaxxers would be able to determine that I meant "within the confines of the law" when I posted that statement.

    Thank you for proving the old adage about the word "assume".



  • Posts: 6,045 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    What are you talking about?

    I did no such thing and your inference that I did is just that......an inference.

    What on earth

    Why would I think asking someone if they supported vaccine mandates is a 'gotcha' question? That's what the thread is about. You are some waffler. Why you make such a song and dance about it?

    I'm 'not man enough' to address your bog-standard 'elf an safety conditions of employment blah blah?

    The point is it's wrong, you're wrong, and the Canadian truckers should be supported by anyone and everyone.
