But as has been proven, anything less than an N95 mask worn properly wouldn't have done a lick. All of the cloth masks, this and that... might as well just let someone with COVID cough directly into your mouth.

COVID is just like the flu.

With a hate boner that big, you'll never need Viagra.

Yeah keep telling that to the people I know who were hospitalised by it, and the two people who died… arsehole.

[ChosenOne]

Yeah, because no one died of the flu when it first appeared a century ago, nor did it spread like wildfire. Right?

Resorting to insults so soon? Tsk... Shouldn’t have bothered, you'd already earned my pity.

Look, you're obviously an intelligent, caring person. Just move away from this. You'll feel bad afterwards and no one here is going to change their opinions.

Oh I already know that, why do you think the forum has died so much? Most of the other rational, intelligent people left ages back for being hounded out by the Trumpites here.

Forums in general have "died so much." Across the board. Maybe there's some exceptions in pockets, depending about what we're talking about. But at the same time this forum is still somewhat alive (which is odd! in 2023) I notice the only claims of "the Technodrome is dead/it's such a hive of scum and villainy" are only coming from one side.

Now and again one of you aging relics of the extreme-left comes here and their latest expression of life-anger is how the "rational, intelligent people left" this place. And yet, here are the forums, moving on with new posts routinely both in TMNT and other topics just fine without you or those allegedly "rational" leftist psychos you are talking about.

The only real hate is from you guys on the left - hate Trump, hate capitalism, hate this, hate that - it's you. The center and the right both generally live their lives and generally defends the tenets of the constitution while most of the left prattles on with blue hair and BS. Hell, even the psychotic extreme right, who are nuts in their own way, have a foundationally stronger premise than you do. They might be inventing "God" but you are inventing enemies and vitriol.

Every liberal complainer here going on about the "death" of this forum as if it's a solid point. Yet here it is, active and just fine without them. Going on about the death of the forum, and saying it on the allegedly dead forum. You and the people you are rattling on about aren't actually intellectual at all. You're just cliches.

And if pointing out those realities pisses off anyone reading it? Then it is clearly about you and clearly struck a nerve.

When all they know and are is hate, all they'll talk about is hate.

Well, there went the last hope for CNN:

It's "too dangerous" to cover all of the news.

Yep, s'awfully dangerous to show Trump talking live about peace in Ukraine and a good economy and energy independence in America, it might lead the public to realize he stands for that sort of thing. Preeettyyy dangerous.

Since when is CNN in the news business, anyway...?

Bunch of retards.
They are "news agency" - it is their job to cover all the news, not hiding their head in the sand.

But we all know why they are doing this, so **** them.

They’re just squirming because Joe Biden wouldn’t get as much get enthusiasm if he walked into a restaurant. Well, maybe he would if he walked into a retirement center, where the residents are so behind the times they’d mistake him for Kirk Douglas

[Mayhem]

Many of the forums I'm on are as popular, if not more so, than they were 20 years ago. I think there's a growing wave of people who are gradually disliking and coming off FB, Twitter, Discord et al and wanting something a bit more controlled and admin friendly. Or maybe it depends what you are into.

I've spent six hours driving to and from a funeral today, so not in the best of moods.

Except I'm not on the left, I'm centre right if anything, used to be more right. Let me repeat this. Being on the left means being towards the communism/socialism side of the political spectrum. Central generally is liberal, ish. Right wing is conservatism heading to fascism as we get far right wing.

The Republican party is extremely right wing currently, almost towards fascism. The Democratic party, while to the left of the Republicans, is still very much a way right of centre party. America HAS NO LEFT WING representatives. Note that I don't say that about either party's supporters per se, just the people who make up the representatives of the party, and the policies proposed and enacted by each party when in power.

Americans time and time again confuse anything left of where the Republican party sits politically as being "left wing" and "liberal" when its patently not the case.

There’s a reason millions of former Democrats here in America are changing to the Independent Party and fleeing Democrat-run cities in droves

Every. Single. Democrat-run large city in America is in a state of 3rd world problems run wild. Drugs. Shootings. Massive tent cities. Literal needles and trash everywhere. Guys like Mayhem defending a lost political lifestyle while the cities that hold his warped values literally let people into stores to loot, steal and eat the food and walk out 99% without repurcussion.

And people like Mayhem still go on about their peasant bull$#!( anyway. The dregs of society going on about their opinions literally turning their societies into the societal dregs.

And this isn't opinion. It's 100% supported fact. Pathetic.

Meanwhile now he's prattling on about everyone else's confusion of the political spectrum... Holy $#!( The only thing most of these people have learned how to do in your facade of "political expertise" is to throw out a series of unfounded opinions, disregard the facts and then respond in the best Hollowman Points or strawman arguments that they can muster. That's it. An entire cluster of phony, disingenuous fools. It's pathetic. P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C. Cluster of humanities peasant level evil.

Dumb and dumber by the post.

Fascism and Nazism were left-wing ideologies, ya mook! One is known for its Communist imagery and the other was literally the National Socialist Worker's party...Yeesh.

[Mayhem]

And the Republican party used to be fairly socialist by comparison, at least during the Civil War, to the Democrats. And at some point they kind of swapped around their positions. America isn't the world. Just because YOU have one interpretation of political spectrum that you steadfastly refuse to budge on doesn't mean every other country is the same. And weirdly enough, none of them do, at least the non communist ones.

In the same way you have no guaranteed maternity leave by law, and refuse to change from imperial measurements... even though practically every other country in the world has.

No guaranteed paid maternity leave. That's an important distinction you're omitting. Most states do, though, and in mine even me as the father get to take a bunch of paid months off of work for paternity leave under the PFML right after the mother gets done taking hers. Mine starts in September.

Uh... You do know I'm not American, yeah...? Or did you just assume? "America isn't the world"... Oops, so much for your know-it-all-itis!

I've lived my whole life in a country with openly far-left socialist parties, and I'll tell you right now they're put to shame most days by Democrat rhetoric. The ideology that is taking hold of America is very dangerous and made even more so by the country's might in itself. Such power must never fall in the hands of socialism.

I can tell you have no idea what you’re talking about. Muh party switch...! Just a myth, chief.
