Ian, forget about Netflix, brother. There's good entertainment right here ! The debate is warming up. 😆😆

Nah. Mantu wasn't a critical thinker.

You need to look up the following bit of psychology....it explains a lot about "experts" who know everything without any form of education!

The Dunning Kruger Effect

Ian, forget about Netflix, brother. There's good entertainment right here ! The debate is warming up. 😆😆

It is late my work is done and it is time for me to go to bed.

I wasn't planning to come back but it is now obvious to me that a few things need to be said.

Firstly, It is clear your aim right now is not to debate but to what exactly?

I highly suggest, instead of making fun of us, go to your doctor that apparently does " home distilling " and let him explain to you what this virus does differently. Why it is that he needs to keep his practice clean and instruments sterilized.

After all, if you ever did do " home distilling " you should know the value of a clean bottle. Especially if you reuse beer bottles.

That said, This virus is real, this virus is deadly. Taking precautionary steps is absolutely necessary.

So at this point i would say, you do you. But every action has consequences

So again please take care, please think carefully.

And now i am really done with this "Thread"

This is a long read. Well worth it though.

Please take the time to read the above before accusing me of being a conspiracy theorist or of needing an education.

I don't think one needs more than a standard 8 to understand what has happened this last year.

Happy reading.


Peace out ... Derek

I forgot ..... think critically, something that I have been accused of not being able to do.

That's the thing now. You don't need to be an expert. All you need is grade 10.

Peace out, brother.

I should be working but my anger forced my to say the following on this thread. "i have rewritten this a few times"

To anyone reading this, please use a mask, please use it correctly and please use the sanitizer and take precautionary steps.

This virus is real... This virus is deadly... Please understand that the pandemic is real...

As for you, i realize the only way you will face reality is when reality comes knocking. I really hope you do stay healthy, and that you NEVER have to deal with this thing. I really do.

But all this said, you are stepping on the pain, sadness and despair of many... Be careful when you do this because i find myself turning my sadness into anger and you are disrupting my calmness. I should be working i have a deadline. Now i am trying to explain to a 62 year old why a mask is important ? You are a grown man, act like one. If not for the sake of yourself then for the sake of others.

And no, grade 10 is not all the education you need. Education IS important...

Point taken.

That is why we now live in a world of cancel culture, mediocre, woke, pc, snowflakes demanding participation medals for their mere existence. No more education, no more excellence, no more hard work...just Dunning Kruger know-it-alls...

Yep, you right, brother.

Glad I'm part of the old school.
At least then matric meant something. ( no 30 percenters in them days )

Peace out .. Derek

I am not going to explain why i have the disclaimer i have. For those that know me it is obvious for others not so much.

Now, i have seen a man wither away to bone due to cancer and i have seen a very elderly man still strong. So life is very conditional when it comes to personal health. Some things can be corrected others not so much. Thus life is fragile and despite most movies stating otherwise, life should be treasured.

In the end your life is in your hands, now you can copy and paste every link on Google, you can get every video on YouTube you can discredit whomever you wish. The facts will stand as they will stand the test of time. Hindsight is "2020", I just hope people will take this pandemic seriously and do what is right for both themselves and for those around them.

Very true. My daughters are now 20 and 22. They were forced to learn frigging pre-94 politics in Geography...the standards came right down laced with politics on every front. ...and of course history got wiped and then rewritten as well. My eldest daughter is now doing her 4th year in Psychology and my youngest is doing her 3rd year in Equestrian Studies. I think that they would have been dead in the water if their only education was public schooling - thank f...k we taught them to be curious and self educate.

The author is not an expert in the medical field, never claimed to be. Neither am I.

His article is all about NUMBERS, something that engineers and attorneys are usually quite good at.

Anyway, you know the story about the horse and the water.

Peace out .. Derek

[adrianh]

The horse and the water......

Its more like the blind Sherpa leading the horse to the edge of the erupting volcano!

Have you noticed that nobody gets the flu or cartches a cold anymore? Is it because of social distancing and wearing masks to stop the spread when sneezing?
