Rants and WTF are you talking about and Coronavirus!

Typos are not all the same. Regarding that discussion, leaving off an O literally changed the entire thesis of the argument. I think judgement of attitude and what's tolerable is quite subjective.

I think he would have gotten what I was saying, given absolutely every thing else I wrote on the subject (quite a bit more than just that one post with that word with the missing "o") if he had been intent on understanding versus just trying to make his own points. Like considering everything I wrote on the matter in totality? Maybe even asking for a point of clarification here or there maybe since that piece seemed off? Seek to understand before seeking to be understood. And as far as "attitude" goes? One's prior posting history speaks quite loud and clear for itself. Volumes. That's right, all typos from all people are not the same.

You realize that Washington Examiner is merely reporting what an independent poll (and you probably know how impartial Rasmussen Reports is, if not, just do some own research) found which is obviously not being reported by MSM?

Anyway, I know that some people are mentally blind, so I am not really surprised with your response, though was hoping maybe you removed your blindfold by now like many others did now which is reflecting in Biden's ratings. Wishful poor thinking in my part LOL.

Some people learn as they see and think, some never do.

"You realize that Washington Examiner is merely reporting what an independent poll" - very perceptive observation on your part.

"is reflecting in Biden's ratings" - thought you folks don't believe in ratings and polls which are always rigged? Perhaps it is ok to embrace them when they suit you. Why not!

"some never do" - confession on your part? Never too late.

I have done just fine in my career, life, and making good money and still going strong; so you can save your pity for the shirtless QAnon Shammans with viking horns. Heard he went to prison; secretly I hoped it was not one of the bizarro Trumpistas posting here, would miss your side's rants (not really).

BTW, Biden totally sucking at his job doesn't surprise anyone as he has been an incompetent doofus all his life but that doesn't change that Trump was a fucked up whacko thug. They are not mutually exclusive you know. But people whose favorite word is libtard will not understand that.

Polls and Washington Examiner? OK then.

6 million Jews murdered, that is a historical factual number. Not a poll opinion.

The nutcases in the above polls also call January 6 crazies were "patriots". Yes, not surprised they think FBI is a political army.

Time for you to call me a libtard. Take it away.

Look, USA needs Europe. The day USA distances itself away from Europe, nobody will consider the USD as a saving currency. And then it would tank to rock bottom considering the trade imbalance in the USA. But as long as Europe due to the Marshall help is bound to the USA, we are also bound to back the dollar. And that will continue even after we change onto statewide crypto. Besides Europe and USA have too much in common in terms of culture, although immigration policies might potentially wash that out. And that is dangerous for both parties. So any leader that would try to opt away from Nato wouldn't last long. Currently at least.

Europe has also better schooling system. Germany and Finland especially, so a decoupøing would turn Europe into the main global superpowers instead of USA. And USA knows this very well!

I consider USA and Russia as little puppy brothers not able to agree. Both countries stemming from viking ancestors. So I can't hate anyone. Though I was scammed once by some Russians, so fuck them. But then again currency soon has 0 value anyway.

We need a new financial system just like the Davos guys are advocating. And based on blockchain. But the health passes in the process of getting us there are disgusting.

Even to this day there is a restriction on the size of Germany's armed forces. So remove these restrictions and tell the USA to get its bases out. The Europeans are not ungrateful they are basically just taking advantage of selling supplies to the USA bases and profiting. There is zero chance that China will invade Europe. Zero chance Russia will harm anyone except Ukraine and probably not a big deal if it annexes Ukraine and everyone can save a lot of money. The entire fiasco of WWII was caused by the USA getting involved and had the USA stayed out of WWII everything would be much better.

I did not say China will invade Europe. I did not even forecast Russia will. That said, loss of protection and security can come in many forms; already many European nations lost the will and strength to stand up to China. As Hua Wei hollowed out their own firms, they stood aside silently. Ericsson used to be the largest supplier of telecommunications equipment; as were Nokia, Siemens, Alcatel and others; most are smaller, some merged and some disappeared. China forces them to do technology transfers on automobiles and they passively yield. If DE loses automobile industry, they have a huge hole in GDP and employment.

No, the threat from China to Europe is economic; as such, Europe is now at similar stage as Japan, with stagnating GDP, flat to declining populations, loss of primacy in key industries. They don't stand together. Not even France and DE; GB left, and the Northern and Southern EU divide, rich / poor country divide is pretty obvious. How difficult is for Russia and China to foment internal dissensions even more, whether it is the Yellow vests or whatever. In 1950-2000, EU prospered as we shouldered all the security burden. But many Americans are pissed that EU seems perpetually ungrateful, short sighted, sides more with CCP / Kremlin more than us occasionally, and a bunch of local population are deluded.

I totally agree, and that is why even mentioning health passes after the Holocaust is such a disgusting thing to do.

Also the Germans killed tons of Roma people. And they wanted to kill everyone with blood type be. That would have killed me also by the way, so fuck them!

So you think it would have been better for Nazi Germany or Stalinist Soviet Union to occupy entire Europe? Or maybe they would have decided to split it amongst themselves, like they did with Poland in 1939. So much better. For the nazis or communists. Which of these two are you?

I made a typo. I left an "o" off of the word. And although you may not see the pertinence in me calling you out, I'll put some money down that plenty of others here do. It's about something bigger than mistaking "your" for "you're". It's about about behavior. It's about attitude. Looks like Admin is close to pulling the plug.

I agree, ironically bad timing for an error on my part. Why that's pertinent to our discussion, I can't say for sure but it seems like a petty shot when one realized he made a critical error in debate and was called out on it. Obviously no one is perfect. In fact, I admitted error even to you in the past.

After Takedown and others, we will get new other profile. Easy.

Like you did on other forums?

[BigBuddy69]

I am actually starting to believe you are the antisemitt here. I am very much pro. But everything I hear people advocating health passes, I get bad historical antisemittic vibes.

Only one 't' in antisemitic. One top of being simple minded, do you suffer from dyslexia?

To paraphrase Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men, you can sit there in peaceful Europe and spout anti US rhetoric and your conflations of US and CCP, but I bet if given a binary choice of living in the US or China, even you would not choose China. Or perhaps you would. Either way, Americans will defend their interests and not care one iota about the whingeing from ungrateful Europeans living off our protection.

In Switzerland they decided to not add additional restrictions. Some smaller changes: reduce quarantine or isolation requirements to 5 days (not needed for people with vaccine or recovery in the last 4 months). They will watch the hospitalization rates, but didn't provide clear criteria when they would change the restrictions. While total number of hospitalization is rising, the numbers in intensive care are currently going down.

UK didn't either, and they absorbed the surge just fine. Seems more of a problem in France but still not proportionate to previous surges. Only worry for me is that countries who's population have not previously faced large surges will not do as well. Germany, with its decent track record so far might have a more immunologically naive population than UK.

So, how fast will Omicron tear through Deutschland? And how soon should we be purchasing those flights across the pond for the aftermath? I am not a business traveler and I consider myself a lamb to the slaughter when it comes to booking flights across the pond. Anyone have thoughts or advice on point at this juncture?

I think governments will take another 2 months to process that Omicron will raise case numbers but not severity and death much more than the flu.

Another month after that for girls to repopulate. Basically, even if clubs are open, I'm guessing it might not be worth making the long trip until April, March if you're desperate. Hopefully May will be rocking.
