There's a "safety" issue with everything-the question is where the greater risk lies. Unless you have a medical reason to not vaccinate, not doing so puts yourself & others at risk. Recall that Covid can be non-symptomatic, in which case you may have had it/transmitted it to others unknowingly.

If you don't think it's stupidity (and selfishness), then maybe think of Dunning- Kruger

I made a snarky comment that these weren't kids but in their 30's. But more to that point, a teenager talking about loving Hitler and putting people in ovens is a very, very troubled teenager who definitely needs therapy. Someone you'd expect to see shoot up their class if given half a chance.

"Kids" in their 30's.... uh huh.

This person probably had an absolutely miserable life - and his childhood - well, best not to even think of that....

Later vaccines like flu/Covid/etc., are harder to mandate, but I would have no problem making them mandatory for health care workers and in the armed services. Too bad so many people are too stupid to try to protect themselves and too nasty to care about protecting other people.

All of the childhood vaccines. In CA, several yrs ago the Legislature got rid of the "religious exemption" so now if you want your kid to attend school-public or private-they have to be vaccinated.

Vaccines protect everyone. Everyone should be mandated to be vaccinated (w/o medical excuse) for the same reason that everyone has to stop at traffic lights and stop signs.

When a kid dies of a preventable disease like measles, his/her parents should be held criminally liable for felony child abuse/ manslaughter. It's no different than beating your kid (which these people probably do as well.) Sending some morons to jail for a long term might be a lesson to others.

Women always had the "right" to report sexual harassment in the workplace. What changed was that the change in law put a burden on the employer to fix the problem or risk being also found liable. Couldn't keep saying, "Now, honey, when Joe grabs your ass, it's really a compliment. Don't get upset!"

I assume that this does not surprise you. Or, really, anyone....

Yep, good friend of mine contracted measles when she was pregnant (pre-vaccines) and her daughter was born with a cleft palate...

Maybe "worst of the worst' refers to guys who do construction work who aren't as competent as other guys who do construction work? That could be it, right? Or painters who leave streaks when they finish a paint job? That's probably it.... Since Dear Leader would never lie to us. /s

Pretty sure that "stand your ground" will be interpreted differently for a brown (gay!) person than for a white guy. The mild concern you need to have as a white guy to shoot someone will be elevated to, "being chased by a guy with a hatchet and gun is insufficient to show a reasonable fear."

If they don't have guns, how will the cake decorators chase the gays out of their bakeries???

After 9/11? Check their coverage during the whole Clinton impeachment in the '90's - they were all in on Team Republican.

I noticed that - there was coverage sure, but not a whole lot. (I don't look at TV news, so I'm referring to the coverage in the print media that I consume...)
