Civil war didn't happen when Gore "lost" on some technical bullshit, it's not going to happen anytime soon.

Stop letting him. You don't owe him even an explanation. The nicest thing you could do for him would be to let him figure it out with as much time as he needs to do so. He hasn't listened thus far or had any appreciable or effective consequences that gave pause to or caused change in his behaviors. I think you probably know this and are just looking for confirmation.

Take yourself and your family back. Why let someone like that be a further influence?

Well, yeah. One of them has flavor.

Shave your parts and buy a ghastly merkin for sexy times. Tell her you only wear it to reduce the chaffing. Then, bust out a gnarly fake beard and ask if she wants oral.

I read fiction for a certain amount of enjoyment, but also to prepare for conversation with people when it's required in the near future.

Needs more dark souls.

Gonna need a mobile BioShock port first, so they can Rapture while they Rapture or something.

Would be willing to bet that:

• Erdogan was informed of these plans by Putin personally and was fine with playing a part in them.
• Finland has documents that explain this.
• Finland has refrained from accusing Turkey of this because they actually value the NATO alliance and don't want to sow discord, even if Erdogan is guilty.

A vaccine isn't going to alter your immune system response anymore than digging in the garden might. Honestly, digging in the garden or eating some fresh fruit/vegetables/cheese will probably expose you to more foreign genetic material, virii and microbes than a vaccine ever would, thereby altering your immune response to a much greater degree. It's ignorant made up reasoning loosely based on ignorant made up useless meandering out dated philosophies.

The immune system is a learned response system. It's trained by exposure. That's the way it works. The specific way it is introduced to foreign material doesn't matter, except that certain ways are more likely to allow an infection to take hold.

You know what can really alter and possibly mutilate a body? A serious infection.

Edit to add:
Going to the gym or just exercising alters the body by making it stronger, adding muscle, but have never heard a religious person say that is taboo because that would be ridiculous. Vaccines make your immune system stronger in much the same fashion, through use and training. There's absolutely no good argument against them.

Had one at home and used the hell out of it, don't get me wrong. Was my first computer. Played the Zork series on that thing. But, it had issues and wasn't a financial success.

It was a huge failure, but they tried.

Ya know what was a foundational part of the American dream? Pensions. Ya know which employers still offer them? Counties, states and the federal government.

Private companies exist solely to make the people at the top very rich based on the stolen value of employee labor while dumping catastrophic losses in the public sphere. That's capitalism in a nutshell.

You'd have to be unbelievably gullible, naive, traumatized AND brainwashed to be a diehard for a system like that. But, somehow they've managed it. A deluded nation of Amway top performers just one move away from making their own imaginary millions. All simping for the system.

Republicans negotiated with, capitulated to and were just steamrolled by a small cadre of political terrorists who'd held their party and the US government hostage and they won't suddenly make everything okay? You don't fucking say...

The first concept of vaccination was invented in 1796. It was an unknown idea before this. Which religion has an opinion on this and how exactly does that work when there was no concept of the thing in question when any of these religions were formed? It's such utter bullshit on its face. There's no grounds for this. It's made up crap on top of made up crap, as a grounds to shirk a simple procedure that saves lives.

But, also, this headline is dumb. Religious medical freedom advocates have been about this for ages. The only thing new is they got one dumb judge to make a bad ruling.

If he was pronouncing it correctly, the response would be "what'd you just call me?"

Some shitbags need to be put in particular situations where they can be useful, if not for the right reasons, then at least due to poor motivations such that others can benefit from their actions.
