Are you going to take the vaccine?

[Relax]

I realize you think you have the truth relax, but like your name sake, relax harder because human triggers only lead to the truth if you work on them.

I don't think I have the truth. I describe what's happening in my country, I express my feelings about this thread, and I share word of mouth, eyewitness verifiable information from a friend
in INDIA
TODAY.

"relax harder" is a contradiction in terms" - c'est impossible
NB: I don't know what you mean by "human triggers etc"
nor

Many millions have died and been enslaved, not due to external reasons but because humans refuse to learn their lessons. Focusing on chasing the squirrel as people have done for the last minincycles will only lead to the same result.

Trying to coerce people int thinking and feeling what you want via fear tactics, is a tried and true human method. Not everyone here consents to that karma fate however.

this is very funny ! because this whole thread is motivated by fear !
Sharing photos of people in India struggling to breathe isn't trying to coerce people - by "fear tactics". It's INFORMATION.

"You have no idea how crazy we think Americans are - sorry - but you might think you're one of the greatest nations on earth - but you're also divided, selfish, children. (Massive generalisation I know).

Threads like this are embarrassing."

What is more embarassing is if you make us report your post for violating forum rules.

I wouldn't be embarrassed if you reported my post - (or the "us" you claim to speak for in terms of other members) (?)

What forum rules am I violating? It needs to be said that the USA IS considered by most other countries a very OTT, crazy, best of - worst of, egotistical 'place'. How much have you travelled internationally?
I should have added the caveat that as we're all one - we're all 'Americans'. We're all capable of the best and worst.

I'm allowed to make a statement about "Americans" especially as I do acknowledge I'm making a "massive generalisation" - and that it isn't personally directed at any specific forum member. I almost never post on B4th - consider the countless posts you and others make on regular basis that pick at each others points.

That I've touched a raw nerve is very indicative of the childlike refusal to face up to the mess your country is in.

don't take this too personally - my country is just a smaller version of historical dysfunction, built on theft and plunder and murder... we're just not as insane as large sections of the USA.

Increase Australia's population, introduce guns... and dysfunction BIGTIME would occur

Since you seem to be well intentioned for the most part, i will let this one slide.

You have a very paternalistic, ego driven tone with this - I don't need your approval or permission. My post isn't written to pass some test of 'quality control' that you get to set. Check your attitude. I don't answer to you.

I'm open to ideas, theories, intuitions, I do know that lies and deceit abound in this world, but I'm really over 2 main things - people saying that masks are ineffective - a P95 mask is very protective - and people saying that the numbers of deaths are inflated and falsely attributed to people being elderly or already unwell/unfit.

There are too many people in the world for this large a deception to be perpetrated.
My fathers family are in England -my Uncle has Covid - I believe family members are telling the truth -  I believe the descriptions (horrific) directly witnessed by my friend in INDIA

I also find this thread contradictory and confusing - I can't actually pin down where people are coming from, accusing others of being fearful, yet being fearful also, but then minimising the issue, then speaking about 85% population reduction conspiracies, then saying covid numbers are falsely reported, then advocating truths that they get from what they (for reasons never proved) consider reliable sources that imo are no more reliable than other sources which can also be seen to be reliable and reasonable....

it pisses me off to see photos of mass pyres and people collapsed in the streets and crying and desperate for oxygen... I've visited India - I love India - and I know they are falling apart because they have an idiot at the helm right now and massive poverty and third world problems, and I just KNOW there's no exaggeration with covid there - it's a complete CRISIS there - the death toll will be inconceivable - already is - so I log on here and it bugs me to see people pontificating from keyboards in clean houses, easily breathing, relatively safe, waxing lyrical about their pet theories about a plague that is decimating populations. Think of the death tolls in New York, in Italy...
I've had enough... B4th is always just circling around arguing   - when is something productive and compassionate going to happen in our hearts instead of all this theorising?
