Rants and WTF are you talking about and Coronavirus!

As for Netanhayu, he's a corrupt "all guns blazing" politician but he has been part of Israel's political scene for decades and he has been re-elected again and again, you really think Israelis would vote for him if he was a Nazi wannabe given the history of the country? Actually they have no problem voting for him when he wants to send settlers in occupied territories. Maybe this passport will be the only thing he has done right. But don't worry I have a solution for you: you don't want the vaccine no problem? Just make a fucking test every two or three days so you can have your green passport.

And for the German elder woman, you and your bunch of paranoid friends were constantly crying out some months ago that most of the covid deaths were probably not covid deaths because the victims were old and sick and they probably died because of their condition. So maybe this woman is dead because of her age and her condition no? And even though she died because of the vaccine (and it could be the case), there is a benefit-cost ratio associated to every medicine so unfortunately there will be deaths associated to the vaccine. But there is a 99,9 % chance that more people will live.

With men like you, a dog bite could still be deadly and Pasteur would have been imprisoned: [URL]https://www.historyofvaccines.org/content/rabies-vaccine-used-human[/URL].

[QUOTE=Mursenary;2538969] Arrogant people who are too lazy to actually learn the subject think that they know more than those who actually spent the time to learn and more importantly, understand. When they speak on such subjects, they disseminate faulty conclusions because they cherry pick convenient data and repeat article headlines. That is why you don't see them posting primary sources. I don't think they are able to understand. The end effect, they spread detrimental half truths causing misinformation in society. Before open internet, they were restricted to their poorly educated circles. Now, they are free to spread falsehoods to a larger audience and thus recruiting other crazies at a significantly faster rate.

The battle for truth, or at least effective truths, lies between the due diligence of knowledge seekers versus the lazy self-servitude of the scourges of the world.[/QUOTE]This well articulates the issues at hand. It's also worth noting that there's often a lot of $ to be made spreading fake science, conspiracy theories and the like. Just look at Alex Jones, a guy with no higher education who references any far out source indiscriminately along with his own imaginations. He probably doesn't even know what a primary source is. But he's seen a lot of personal financial success selling hocus pocus vitamin supplements, gold and silver investments and survival gear. The misinformation draws a crowd for the sales pitch.

[QUOTE=Mursenary;2539029]Do what you want. Reading Tabloids and conspiracy, poorly educated writings hurt my brain.[/QUOTE]The thing is, I don't have to read tabloids and conspiracy sites. I have no problem with sickos writing blogs about their delusions of grandeur since I won't read them and they won't be quoted on another websites that I read. I also have no problems about all the nutcases on the social networks because I always stayed clear of them, I have no interest in people staging their life to make them feel better about themselves. But when a public internet board becomes the home of a guy suffering from severe NPD among other things and the guy floods every threads of the board with nearly 15,000 posts of total nonsense written in botched English (just repeating what he did before in another place), the other writers tend to react, and the board kind of loses his point because the useful information disappears or is diluted in all those ramblongs.

After having had my Covid vaccine nearly three weeks ago I'm beginning to feel more confident about reaching some sort of normality even if it won't be the same as before for a long time.

This thread doesn't always report good or improving news so those that need a boost I thought I would share the latest UK news.

Death rates have plummeted (35% in the last week) and the infection rate is dropping drastically week on week to around 5,000 a day. Nearly 23 million citizens have had the first jab.

Schools reopened on Monday, from March 29th people will not be restricted to their local area & bars / restaurants (only outside) should open in April. If all goes well nearly everything opens up in May with possibly flights resuming to "safe" countries followed by a complete reopening in June.

Yes things could get delayed, there could be obstacles ahead but how refreshing it is to have a positive timetable even if we have an idiot as Prime Minister who can't be trusted.

Does anyone have an update as to what is happening in Germany as its nearly a year since I was last in Sharks?

If the UK is starting to make a positive impact into this ghastly virus I assume things are starting to move in Germany too?

I miss Sharks so much LOL!

You are talking about the nurse with the micro penis here. And you make the same kind of joke as I did awhile back. Again with the circular arguments. Zero originality. Geez!

OK, that settles it, you really are just another Nursenary handle after all. I had a hunsh for awhile.

He is not very modern in his way of thinking. And that hurts him. The boomer generation he is brought up in. American boomer generation and what comes with that mainly for bad reasons.

The nurse is not very well articulate at all (he might in fact be your other handle given the history of handles who quoted each other saying they were right). He is just an ad nauseum copy paster of things we read day in and day out in a million newspapers. And then he thinks he is wise by being a sheep. Beææææh. So boring and dull.

Why do you think there are wars, covid and famine anyway?

Answer: Because the gods are bored of sheeps.

P.S: Neither you nor the nurse nor the BigB are able to find the studies saying darker skinned people need more sun in order to attain vitD from the sun. That in itself says a whole lot regarding your 'scientific' approach. Nonsense is what I call it. And paid science is part of communication strategies. In all fields of studies. Especially when it comes to handpicking science taught in school. And especially in USA.

Too bad really, as we'd all probably have boned her. How many more MILFs needs to die due to wannabe nurses and would-be unscientific sheeples?

You and McA have both alluded to Narcissistic Personality Disorder and observations here do check many boxes. There are displays of "Narcissistic defenses" for sure, but making a diagnosis would require more direct questioning with other diagnostic assessment tools. The reason I offer some forgiveness is that whatever condition, it is something that the person has been living with for decades. As such, I don't think he is even aware anymore. At a certain point, when someone's survival tool has been to reconstruct reality to something more palatable, you just pity them because the constructed reality is their defense against a world that has hurt them.

The saving grace however, is that he does not seem to be one of the ones who push moronic ideas on others. Mostly, it's just the ramblings of a senile Grandpa. He is often wrong in matters of science, but it's usually errors of ignorance and not delusion or arrogance. Others however seem to knowingly perpetuate falsehoods and half-truths. I think some do it to feed their egos while others do it to win a game. None of them seem to have any real stake in the game which is why I judge them even more harsh. While one's actions mostly affects only himself while perhaps merely annoying others, the other parties are active threats to truth and reason.

It's a subculture in the sense that people who don't do well with the norms set by society strive to find other ways of coping. They find comfort in the smaller collective of other lesser players of the game. Hence the development of a fringe group. I'm not really saying that subcultures are inherently detrimental, not at all; I'm just merely proposing one theory as how such personalities have come to be. The "freaks and geeks" crowd have actually produced numerous productive contributors to society such as Musk, Zuckerberg, various innovators; however, the same phenomenon has produced the Timothy McVeighs, Adam Lanza's, and James Holmes.

I miss Sharks so much LOL![/QUOTE]I have no first hand info on Germany but tracking the regional data and the surrounding areas, Germany seems to be at a watershed point. They border Czechia which is seeing the worst surge in Europe. The regional border closure a few weeks ago seems to be keeping the cases contained. But with rising cases in their eastern neighbors (Austria and Poland) probably keeps the politicians up at night hoping to be able to keep their prediction of easing restrictions by April.

I think the few optimistic hopes for May club openings should be put aside.

It also may explain why such individuals are so common in monger forums, as many who seek out P4P have had little success with traditional relationships.

Such communities are also hot beds of "group think," ironic indeed while they call those who agree with mainstream science "sheeple."

Second, you're logical fallacy is non-sequitur.

Because a tiny percentage have an adverse reaction to a vaccine it doesn't follow that the entire world should give up on it. And that's precisely why your views / faulty logic is consigned to the fringes where it belongs, among the followers / sheeple that lack even the most basic critical thinking skills.
