Re: The Right to Spread Disease
The old testament and new testament together form the Bible
what is the difference between the Catholic Bible and the Protestant Bible? Why are the books of Matthew treated differently?
Why isn't the Koran just as good?
why is the One of some guesstimate of 1500 god stories that you were
brought up with the Right One and the other ~1499 stories are wrong?
Who made you king?
Speaking of spreading disease...

Re: The Right to Spread the GOD thing
This is OFF TOPIC and should be moved to another thread.
Why don't you show us your education by proving that God doesn't exist?
You cannot prove a negative. Even you know that.
How do you know I don't believe God exists?
I could be a Deist, for all you know.
Do you have any objective peer-reviewed evidence God exists one way or the other?
There are whole threads here at EvC on Intelligent Design that are more appropriate channels to use.

Re: The Right to Spread the GOD thing
Christians also believe that you can go to heaven by repenting and converting on your deathbed. So what?
So no evidence from you.
I would have thought that the single first organism would be a sign of God. Kind of like the Fine Structure Constant, without it's value being what it is, enabling life to emerge, would be another sign.
Meh. Oh well. then. Remain willfully stoopid. It's OK.

Re: The Right to Spread Disease
For starters, do you think that people that proposed general mask mandates considered whether the public would wear appropriate masks in an effective manner? And providing an exemption for young children from wearing masks would nullify the effect of a general mask mandate?
Nullify? BULLSHIT. Many people did do it right and it made a difference. Sure, there were idiots who refused to comply, most notably led by the Asshole POTUS at the time who made a show of ripping his mask off on national TV. But there was a measurable positive impact, just as there is for vaccinations despite the evolutionary variants now beyond Omicron.
It's an ongoing battle that needs encouragement, NOT detractors. Remember, this is about EDUCATION.
People don't like being told they have to go back to school, but they do have to go.
Now, on to a point about your quoting Maggie Thatcher's infamous asshole view when you refer to Percy with
Your display of generosity with other people's money is heartwarming.
IT IS NOT OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY!
IT IS OUR MONEY! ALL OF US TOGETHER.
A civilization is a collection of people, all together, who make the collection civilized.
Currently all civilized countries provide healthcare for all of their citizens.
Since the United States does not do this, then, by definition, they are NOT yet civilized.

Re: The Right to Spread the GOD thing
You can even do it like one of the thieves on his cross next to Jesus, but why wait?
Wait? For a fictional character like some Tinkerbell to sprinkle some kind of magical dust over me?
I have better things to do.

Re: The Right to Spread the GOD thing
I can explain how dissent with a billion replications of the same inane posts produces a monstrous pile of shit with simple mathematics, something which the SHITFUCKER doesn't understand. Now why doesn't the SHITFUCKER just get the fuck out of here? He can't because this transcends the boundaries of his mind. In other words, it was a subliminally evil occurrence the arrival of which which nobody ever wants to see again.

Re: The Right to Spread Disease
in the Kleinbottle's ramblings i found this:
a cause of death can have a huge impact on the profitability of a drug company
But the profitability of any drug company should be irrelevant in a civilized country, like one that provides health care for everyone of its citizens.
the USA is not a civilized country yet.

Re: The Right to Spread Disease
Klienman argues that at the beginning Masks were counter=productive:
Percy writes:
The vertical line above the word July represents July 1. The yellow line indicates counties that before July 1 had no mask mandate but that implemented one beginning July 1.
The maroon line indicates counties that prior to July 1 had no mask mandate and after July 1 still had no mask mandate.
Within a couple weeks after July 1 the case rate in counties with a mandate ceased rising and began fluctuating within a narrow range, while the case rate in counties without a mandate just kept rising and rising.
Explain why the yellow line is labeled "Counties with a mandate" and that line starts at the same time as the maroon line. And why is the yellow line higher than the maroon line from before July until almost October?
I would think that it took from July to October for those mandated counties to learn how to use masks. Perhaps at the beginning they were isolated from populations and never got exposed and then looked over at the first group. They start to see an increase in their group and said "Uh oh, it's happening to us to now! - we better do something!". The first group had a huge increase, then a sudden, unexplained drop then a gradual increase, then an overwhelming increase. we dont know the rural-urban split of the counties. the real question is what was going on with the first maroon group. did they panic and just stay home? What year was this?
Side note:
It is so hard for my eyes to read things with white backgrounds. the orange line is almost like it was made with invisible ink.

Re: The Right to Kick Off Assholes
Percy - would you please kick this Asshole off EvC, somewhere way out beyond Voyager I, immediately?
I don't think anyone else here wants his ass shitting all over your excellent discussion board anymore.
Or let's take a poll?
I'm normally not in favor of any kind of censorship, but in this case...
PUT ME DOWN for it.
