54% of the religious identify as Catholic. So at best what, 20% Catholic?

[QUOTE=PumDiPum;2552687]How many people worldwide are using the Internet, 4 billion or more? How many are using ISG, on average around 700? Who are these "users"? One bot who is managing 99% of the nicknames, a few digital cops and me?
I guess Admin one, two and four doing a very important job here. But Admin three is obviously a bit overworked, stressed or something. Once a post is to "blunted" and next time he is not able to recognize a "point". Must be hidden long Covid.
Stay healthy and thankful for every single word.[/QUOTE]I have the impression that the admins actually purposefully intended for this thread to be a a free for all. The name of the thread suggests so much. The other threads remain cordial and on-topic. He even actively moves COVID posts from other threads over here when they garner a string of replies. I think it's a good way to lighten his moderation load while letting people rag on each other. Not much mongering to talk about anyway.

Good news!
Good news to everyone! I just tested positive for antibodies against Covid-19!
As I've already written; this pathetic virus only kills the old, weak and extremely unlucky.
I'm not that old, never been weak and not unlucky enough to even get a fever or cough from the China flu.
Fuck vaccines, my body is a machine!
I guess running 10 km four times a week pays off.

[QUOTE=Mursenary;2552724]If I came across as bragging about my age, that was never my intent. 38 means healthy but in decline and old enough to be the fathers of girls you could legally fuck. But I do enjoy being in a position of "older peer" by the younger generation while also seasoned enough to be taken seriously by older ones.
But perhaps I stated some realities that a 25 year old would less likely be attracted to a 50 year old than a 38 year old. Likewise, I wouldn't be offended if someone said that 25 year olds would more likely be attracted to 31 year olds than 38 year olds nearing 40. I like my age but wouldn't mind being younger as to have a better shot of banging nonpro 25 year olds. #Realites.
But to protest your assertion describing me with the tendencies of the "woke, justice warrior" trope, let me clarify my position on the social justice warrior spectrum. It's my belief that within specific societies, some races enjoy higher perceived social value than others, unearned social value tends to lead to some tangible benefits, some races also shoot themselves in the foot by scapegoating injustices too much, some injustices are real, racist jokes are funny, activists are often annoying as fuck, activists are sometimes needed for progress, the average Muslim does not support terrorism, Islam is still one of the dumber world religions, Old people are some of the most valuable members of society, but I will keep using terms like Boomer lightheartedly, and regarding your objections to that term, "Fuck your feelings"..[/QUOTE]The difficult part is living within means, resisting the temptation to spend and splurge, delaying gratification, etc. Those traits are universally difficult to achieve and sustain for long periods. It is not about a specific amount such as a million. It is about accumulating an amount of wealth that puts you in the top 1%, or even 5% of that location, wherever that may be. To rise above the median in any location, one has to either achieve an income level a couple of standard deviations from the mean or / and develop all those other values.

[QUOTE=Kuni042;2552739]Simple:
* clubs will be obligated to check if you have been vaxxed, so that you cannot infect anybody else.
otherwise:
* you will not be given entrance..[/QUOTE]Why? Because older mongers have more money than the younger ones. And the clubs will cater to that old money before the young turks; therefore the clubs will demand vaxx certification at the door. Or gene therapy or whatever you want to call it.

[QUOTE=Mursenary;2552692]Another question is if the elderly residents became symptomatic and to what degree. Data collection is a middle step of scientific reasoning. Conclusions made when comparing data to background information is the end goal.[/QUOTE]CDC published some numbers. [URL]https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/health-departments/breakthrough-cases.html[/URL].
75 million fully vaccinated, 5814 covid cases, less than 396 hospitalized, 74 died. They caution that breakthrough cases are an undercount, I understand that this is just a snapshot right now.
For me the most relevant numbers are people hospitalized and deaths, less likely to have an undercount there. Considering as well that the fully vaccinated people are older than the average population to me this looks encouraging.

The clubs don't directly benefit if the girls make more money from the mongers. So income for the club is received from entries and alcohol sales. If the club had to choose, which demographic brings in more money? A club like Samya where the clientele is younger and generates more alcohol revenue, they would want every 30-45 year old to be able to enter. Contrast that to GoldenTime where the crowd is a bit older and not there to party. The club would want all of the polar bears to return and may prioritize safety.

[QUOTE=HammerTime96;2552689]I'm NOT against vaccinations and I'm vaxxed against the 'normal' things like Polio, Smallpox and Measles.
There are however thoroughly tested vaccines, unlike the EUA (Emergency Use Authorisation.) Covid "vaccines" which have barely been tested.
Polio, Smallpox and Measles are serious diseases, however Covid19 is mostly no problem for people around my (young) age and has a 0,15% Infectious Mortality Rate for people under 70, so why should I get vaxxed with some experimental drug? To make Big Pharma companies richer? So that corrupt politicians can please their Big Pharma lobbyists?[/QUOTE]That is a valid point. Risk-reward is different for older people. According to [URL]https://www.bbc.com/news/explainers-56665396[/URL] ; I think they look only at AZ risk there, I couldn't be bothered to check the numbers.
Chance in a million of:
Serious harm from vaccine side effects: 11 in a million for 25 year old, 4 in a million for 55 year old.
Dying with coronavirus: 23 in a million for 25 year old, 800 in a million for 55 year old.
I think part of the population will be pushed towards vaccination because of easier access to international travel, concerts, sport events. Big Pharma will get richer anyway.

otherwise:

Yesterday Israel signed a new contract with Pfister which means at least for me that the things are not so simple like " many are vaccinated, herd immunity let us go back to the life of 2019, visit the FKK and fuck the girls".

[QUOTE=HammerTime96;2552689]1) Hospitals in Germany never got close to being overwhelmed.
2) The media and politicians mark "positively tested" people are "infected" even though they have no symptoms, and they use this as a scaremongering basis for their "measures. " You can't move the goalposts by now suggesting that 'it's no big deal if they don't display the symptoms. ' If it's no big deal then why have we people quarantining asymptomatic yet "PCR positive" people for 2 weeks since January last year? So are you now finally admitting that Covid19 is a big hoax?
P.S. As a matter of fact, this is exactly what Geert vanden Bossche is warning for: vaccinated (but not necessarily symptomatic) people are shedding a more dangerous and mutated virus. Watch his videos and learn![/QUOTE]1) Yes, because they took action (see lockdown!) to avoid that in the first place. 2) If people do not develop the disease and the vulnerable people are protected, there would be no need for lockdowns. Do you honestly think governments like imposing lockdowns? If you are a professional person with even a small amount of common sense, then you would not think this is something governments would want to do.
I don't need to learn about mutations and viruses as I've been working in the bio-medical field for almost 16 years. Mutations arise spontaneously in viruses and those that give a significant advantage to the virus replication and / or spreading will be selected and will generate virus variants that may become more or less deadly. The Spanish flu virus that killed over 50 millions people in 1917-18 has become a common flu that it is no longer deadly but still very highly contagious. The more you let the virus replicate, the more likely it would be for various virus variants to arise. This is why it is important to stop the spread (and therefore the replication) of the virus.
