Such hyperbolic language! Perhaps you should temper your starry-eyed zeal, take a step back and consider the actual results of this experiment. Most people wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole anymore.

(Re: mRNA.)  "Such hyperbolic language!" ? Consider the last sentence...Irony, oh irony.

Massive harm.Trust takes a long time to build, and a very short time to break...When people come to understand that their government is lying to them, they will seek other forms of authority to follow, some of which may be even worse than the government itself.

Hmmm,,,

Thanks for the warning. Again

Not just mine, but that of tens of millions of Americans.

 

A wound that will not easily be healed, and one that is likely to be far more damaging to the country  than any speculative number of lives his lying might have "saved".

 

 

Bingo! Just wondering who those WOUNDED "tens of millions of Americans" are...and what "damaging" consequences the other "tens of millions of Americans" might be expecting?

He was talking about chlorine dioxide and he was absolutely right. Trump did a great job of informing the public of the available treatments for Covid.

"Chlorine dioxide is a chemical compound with the formula ClO2 that exists as yellowish-green gas above 11 °C, a reddish-brown liquid between 11 °C and −59 °C, and as bright orange crystals below −59 °C. It is usually handled as an aqueous solution. It is commonly used as a bleach." - Wikipedia.

Need one say more?

What a hypocrite you are - amazing how determined you are to be taken seriously. Show me where the Orange fella said we should drink or inject bleach.

One more....Priceless.

As long as covid is still with us, any update on covid postings is always a welcome reminder to us with sane mind and a desire to keep the human race alive and well... Unfortunately, it irks those with delusions on theirs, brought on by god know what, who are determined to be blinded to science and subsequently have adverse reaction to any mention of vaccines/mrna - like vampires to holy water (sorry for keeping going back to the same metaphor, blame it on Hammer Studios.) 

As mod has mentioned earlier, there's plenty of places for those folks to go get their chip of their shoulders. The problem is the insane ones usually think they are the smartest (one adverse effect of being deluded.) Let me be kind and turn in another metaphor, anyone can walk down a public road, however, it's not ok to dump your trash everywhere along the way (that is providing one still has the ability to distinguish what stinks and what doesn't.)

To use a derogatory  label (anti-vax) for a person is a sign of the the labelers lack of sincerity and intellect. 

For the sake of anyone's supposedly non-lacking "sincerity and intellect," "anti-vax" is not a derogatory term by any means, Such sentiment is rather in the "eye of the beholder."  It might be divisive by its nature, but not demeaning or degrading. Other examples: "communists" (vs "socialists") or "republicans" (vs "democrats" for us Yanks) - and in this case, "anti-vaxxers" (vs "vaxxers," if there is such a thing.)

The suspect's parents were taken aback by the discovery, professing ignorance of the origin of the weapons and ammunition. Their son typically resided in another home in the Sathorn district.

Look up Adam Lanza of Sandy Hook shooting, perhaps the most controversial of shool mass shootings in America and see the paralels...

Lanza's dad paid 20k usd monthly alimony to Mom to raise him. She purchased guns and got him gun licence while supposedly schooling him herself at home (homeschooling.) One morning he took out the gun, shot her multiple times before setting out for Sandy Hook. Lanza offed himself  when cornered by the cops

This is how the Paragon shooter would have ended up, even with parental supposedly close monitoring - or not (including providing him with means guns and ammo...) Luckily for the parents, he spared them before setting out for Paragon. And he reported himself to the cop in the aftermath. This difference shows that he was not as nutty as some folks tend to think. 

But the bottom line is: As long as these creatures are not sequestered from the public at large, at some point they will get out in society and wreak havoc. The parents/guardians intentionally or not provided them with the means for acquisition of those weapons. Just think of these individuals as wild animals raised by private citizens. Hopefully the laws would be apply accordingly. There are cases right now in the USA where the parents are tried in court (the Oxford shooting.)

the cancer which is most virulent in the US and elsewhere now spreads into relatively peaceful countries like Thailand.

On the other hand, every time they ie the world's "peaceful countries" play /sing and dance along a music video from Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift or Madonna. Or rewatch for the umpteenth time Star Wars/Titanic (and crave for their endless sequels.) Do they ever take a pause and praise: "America is the land of such incredible talent/creativity. Thank you for sharing your best gifts for the rest of the world to enjoy"? - No, they DON'T.  (But a mass shooting anywhere on earth, and yep - )

Here's a small sample of another kind of "cancer" that America has been "spreading" to the rest of the world - and the world just can't get enough of:

Time will tell....I haven't seen/heard anyone getting a 2nd mailing yet but since mailing time from the U.S. to Thailand via 1st class mail typically takes around 2 to 4 weeks if the 2nd mailing occurs in late Sep then it's too early to have received a 2nd mailing....but if the 2nd mailing occurred in early-mid Sep then such a 2nd mailing should be arriving Thailand mailboxes right about now or soon

semi-anxiously expecting 2nd 7162 mailing that might/should be arriving anytime now, I finally went back to tracking my 1st. and here it is. surprised that it took only 3 weeks to get from swampy (sorry the capital shift no longer works on my keyboard, same goes for double quotes) into the finals (moving within USPS network ie somewhere between the moon and nyc.) Fyi this was registered mail.

that his wife was not giving him anymore after 30 years together. I feel sorry for the ex-wife.

Or rather something that she could never have given him during their 30 years together.... (dildo or strap-on don't count!)

I remember in my youthful days as a young gay thing, I used to point out to my bff, aka best friend forever, that I was jealous at that couple who just walked past, he's adonis while she's a hag, claiming that in drag I would look better than her. In his infinite wisdom, bff replies, "but she has something that you don't, namely a vagyna!" -  "However," bff adds, "you also have something that she doesn't, namely a dyck - so don't despair!" A whole new world opened up to me since...

I think you have issues if you want a man who is trying to look like a woman.  Fair enough if ya gay go with a bloke but if you're going with a bloke who is pretending to be a woman, you are very mixed up. I just don't get it.  

A few years back I "chaired" a thread to explain ladyboy attraction for this forum's readers/posters. Quite a lively and enlightening thread, with many participating  in the "lecture." Been a while back and I can't find it anymore. Maybe @gecko123 or other members with better track keeping record could resurrect the thread for those in the "I just don't get it" league.  Thanks,

Never seen an attractive trans over 50 ! Guess that is why old men want young trans, as any older and they start looking like the old men they would be !

Attractiveness aside, at the barest essential the new wife can bugger at the drop of her boxer shorts, whereas the former one had to strap on a, er, strap-on.

So if a hypocrite somehow agrees with you or sides with your opinion, then that makes you a hypocrite as well?  But never mind that, how about you quoting a hypocrite, what that makes you?

I like looking at the cases. Not who wins or loses. As the late Associate Justice Antonin Scalia wrote:

"I do not think, however, that the avoidance of unhappy consequences is adequate basis for interpreting a text."

Beware when someone indulged wit (or bovine crap as in  "the avoidance of unhappy consequences is adequate basis for interpreting a text...") as cover for hypocrisy. There's something insidious about it, though it doesn't quite work as a deflection tactic. It's like saying, hey, that guy just robbed a bank. Then someone responds, he drives a rather nice car.

Posting a SAD icon on a post with fully correct information is really sad...

It only takes a click to give a SAD emoji. Don't give it (or the sender - usually some troll/moron/or someone who disagrees with ya, so what) the power to make you feel sad or otherwise. Treat it like a flake of dandruff! (same with not feeding the trolls.)

I ordered my glasses on 19-Aug and they arrived 1-Sep. The glasses are a perfect fit with clear vision for me across all ranges so I am happy compared to the high street products here. I chose progressives with sun shading and a plastic frame I was familiar with as I already bought reading glasses from Zenni before with the same frame. The frame costs about 10USD and the reading glasses as much again, whereas my progressives cost more at about 120USD but could be had for 20-30 USD cheaper depending on choices.

 

After placing order, Zenni seems to make the glasses within 2 days and mails it, emails about 4 days later with the tracking code, its not couriered so a bit slow. Postal cost was 9USD. I thought in the past Zenni mailed from Hong Kong, but the package seemed to come from Sweden, despite saying made in China on package, and via Singapore. There was four days transit in Singapore. Once in Bangkok it arrives next day on your door. So about 2-3 days manufacture and 8-9 days mailing time.

 

I will order again unless I hear of any better services.

Thank you for a very detailed follow-up, much appreciated. By the way during your going thru the initial ordering process with Zenni, did you notice anywhere that gives an option to custom the lens for indoor use (like watching tv, or staring at your computer, different viewing distances) as opposed to for outdoor use?

I for one appreciate your, imo very factual, posts on Trump's legal issues 

I for one am very skeptical those who sneak up their biases under the camouflage of "factual posts," it's not that hard to spot contradictions that popped up rather often. Unless you choose to ignore them.

Very strange post coming from someone who allegedly doesn't like Trump.. If Skeptic7 had made an election outcome prediction, then the photo might be relevant. But in this case, it looks remarkably like prospective gloating.

Not that strange really. "Coming from someone who allegedly doesn't like Trump" - btw "allegedly" should be written in ALL CAPS. Remember what Trump said about there's fine people on both sides? In Trumpspeak, that means he has his followers on both sides. Side that loves Trump, and side that "ALLEGEDLY doesn't like Trump." Understand that time is hard in Trumpland right now, it's raining indictments and the prospect of the master heading for jail is becoming frighteningly real, the MAGA folks are getting desperate. Even those who used to be discreet start to show their true colors.
