The thread is about activism. All my posts are about activism. You might disagree but that's my opinion. Activists are not just people who march up and down streets carrying BLM signs or bamboo lanterns. Activists also cut checks and post conspiracy theories on Twitter and other social media. Activism is a very broad subject.

Lady Susan Hussey quits over remarks to charity boss Ngozi Fulani
ozimoron replied to Scott's topic in World News
You remain on ignore but since I saw what you wrote when quoted. 1. I'm sure you're aware that bold is not allowed. There is a function to help you reduce it to normal text. 2. Your post did not include the vital word "heritage". Your post was blatantly racist in attempting to characterise these women as not being British. I'm sure you understand English better than you allude to. Buck up. -
Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
ozimoron replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
After months of delays, the EU and NATO are expected to soon formally issue a joint call for Russia to stop its war and leave Ukraine, and to pledge full support to Kyiv. https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-nato-joint-pledge-back-ukraine-war-russia/ -
A prayer before dying: On the Republican Party's terminal illness But the GOP is a soon-to-be spectral political party. Its illness are its politically traumatizing mythologies, as old as our country itself. The GOP has not been an active or proactive political force for years. It is reactive and reactionary — it adopted the politically traumatizing, hysterical and paranoid mythologies disseminated throughout the right-wing infotainment system, often crafted in the deepest and darkest bowels of the rabbit-holed internet, and then regurgitated them. https://www.rawstory.com/a-prayer-before-dying-on-the-republican-party-s-terminal-illness/

XBB Covid Variant Spreading In India Will Soon Reach Thailand: Expert

ooh, look, an anecdote proving nothing ta all. -
How to stop wealthy right-wing 'Christians' from bribing the Supreme Court Here in the United States, the scandal de jour is around a group of wealthy rightwing “Christians” who spent millions to get close to and influence Republican members of the Supreme Court. They prayed with them over cases and those same Republican justices then cited the amicus brief of the group’s leader and apparently leaked upcoming decisions to and through them. --- Here in America, though — where Republicans generally appear unable to feel shame and their party daily shows it considers ethics a joke — six Republicans on the US Supreme Court continue to embarrass our nation by making nakedly political, partisan, or bigoted decisions (that often defy precedent and tradition). https://www.rawstory.com/how-to-stop-wealthy-right-wing-christians-from-bribing-the-supreme-court/

Paradoxically, the botched vaccine strategy and subsequent lockout benefitted Oz greatly, if unwittingly. The early virus types were very deadly but relatively much less infectious. Strict enforcement of isolation, masks etc meant that any outbreaks quickly died out. The sad for me was that I had to leave Thailand because of the risk of being locked out without medical insurance meant that I was forced to return to Australia for 18 months. In the end, Thailand also did not suffer from the early varieties because of similar strict policies. Ultimately I could have gotten a vaccination in Thailand at the same time as I could get one in Australia. Sooner if we're talking Pfizer or Moderna.

The single reason that Australia had no cases when there were no vaccines is that we weren't allowed in or out of the country and neither was anybody else. There were no cases because there was no virus. The government botched the vaccine rollout, betting on the AZ vaccine exclusively and dropped the ball. The fact remains that deaths would be higher but for the vaccine. That has been shown here on AN time and time again.

For me, viagra and especially kamagra cause massive heartburn. Sidegra gives me little or no heartburn, not enough to warrant taking nexium. I only take the 50 mg tabs for that reason.

Lady Susan Hussey quits over remarks to charity boss Ngozi Fulani
ozimoron replied to Scott's topic in World News
On that we can agree. If the charity, or her, go down in a fraud case then all well and good. Justice prevails. Most of this thread is nothing more than a racist attack and this allegation won't change that. -

That seems to be more of a bug than a feature. -

You might want to consider how long ago she changed her name. It was many many years ago -

It's a bit early to be claiming these allegations are the "truth" isn't it? In its accounts, the charity said: “We have now engaged an independent accounting firm and are confident that any issues are a thing of the past.” -
The latest data shows that 58% of COVID-19 deaths in August 2022 were from people who were vaccinated or boosted. Based on past figures and the current trends, we can reasonably estimate that the number of vaccinated/boosted COVID-19 deaths will only rise. (In September 2021, the vaccinated accounted for 23% of COVID-19 deaths; in January/February 2022, the vaccinated were 42%.) This is what happens when you rush ineffective and dangerous vaccines. It's a paywalled site. You claim that the majority died because they were vaccinated is not what the article says.

The topic is not about whether mask wearing is a good idea or not. -

Because no medical authorities are recommending that, unlike masks. -
