    not grumpy at all dog.
    Just not tolerating hypocritical behavior.
    You know this….its why you had no answer to my post to you the other day, calling out Johnny for doing the same thing many others do here on a regular, that you seem to be perfectly fine with not calling out…

    all good though. Busy day today. And the Blazers won last night!

    So dont misperceive intolerance of hypocrisy for grumpiness! ;)

    The question was trying to determine what you were asking. Once it became obvious you were just trolling political BS it was no longer worth answering the bullshit question.

    Better off to just call you out for the BS.

    If conservatives are being called out at higher rates for posting bullshit they should probably stop posting bullshit.

    What I posted was not bullshit, it was entirely and provably accurate, even just based on your inability to prove any of it wrong.

    So now that you have stepped all over your dick and made yourself look like an ass you'll resort to childish taunting.

    Pitiful, but typical.

    so by this logic since you refused to answer my INNITIAL question, you just proved the nytimes is left wing propaganda.

    Im also not interested in right or left. Im interested in making sure that when trying to discuss, people are actually being honest and impartial. If you are not willing to admit certain things because “you aren't interested” then that shows having a full, up aNd up, honest discussion is futile…

    and you provided me more insight to my opinion of this today.

    Thanks.

    Planet is likely a shorthand for “planet-struck.” Many medical practitioners believed the planets influenced health and sanity. A person who was planet-stricken had been suddenly maligned by the forces of particular planets. They would likely present symptoms also associated with aneurysms, strokes, and heart attacks.

    bullshit.
    It was a clear black and white question.
    Barfo answered and i responded Nd have left it at that.
    i want to know who is actually being honest with people around here and ill ask any question i feel necessary to determine it. I dont give shit if it doesn't interest you or meet your conversational standards.


    So keep going with your long crybaby rants because you cant admit you couldnt answer the question for fear of being called out( because you know you have called out right wing links).
    Notice how when Barfo clarified his intentions as being up and up i apologized?

    Thats what mean do… admit they were wrong when they are wrong.
    You couldn't just answer the question, and never said you weren't interested. But then say you said so several times.

    just admit you shouldn't have ranted and just said you weren't interested in answering the question.
    Its what honest people worth conversing with do… in my opinion.

    heres one for you… i was wrong in even asking the question, because i should know by now i would not get an honest, impartial answer without a bunch of twisting, sidestepping and lecturing..

    so my fault. I apologize…

    Again, I don't care if it's left wing propaganda, as long as that quote is correct.

    If it's not correct I'll be happy to correct it or remove it.

    Everything else you just said is bullshit. You don't care about being honest or impartial or you'd care more about provable data and facts. The scientific method.

    If you were actually being honest and impartial you would not have called into question an apparently legitimate quote without supporting citation.

    That's decidedly dishonest and impartial.

    So I guess we can add hypocritical to the list...

    Yes, you were wrong to ask the question with the intention of derailing the conversation. Agreed.

    From your link:

    and

    So your link would not seem to support your suggestion that they are 'as blue as blue gets'.

    very true but per the graph just one tier to the right. Thats close. So when i posted that link it wasnt so much claiming validity to my assertion as much as questioning your claim of not even being close. Moderate left is one tier from hard left, per their graph. I would say thats somewhat close. Definitely not as left as it gets, but its over there in the left.
    I honestly expected links to say they are balanced or right wing, with how you said not even close, and was going to post a link and say i was way off.
    I was still off. They aren't as left as it gets. But they are left.
    Thats all i was looking for.
    Thanks.

    72% fully vaccinated, not 75%.

    And the below graphic shows where the Netherlands rates as a country, adjusted per population. At the very low end of deaths, which is why their hospitals aren't overrun and they've been doing generally better than the rest of Europe, not to mention the US and the rest of the world...

    I believe in those days and in this usage 'several' meant 'various', not 'multiple'.

    Pew Research ran a study on vaccine rates. Can post link if anyone wants. Among other things sought correlation between religious views and vaccinations in US. Atheists are most vaccinated at 90%. Some on the right conflate atheism with left wing. There are actually very conservative atheists (the late Christopher Hitchens supported Iraq war, defended torture and vehemently opposed legal abortion) but even they are pro science. White evangelical Christians are least vaccinated. In that case there is strong right political correlation.

    Yes, it does. Not as great an advantage as for adults but still an advantage.
    Now, I can back up my claim, can you back up yours?
    From the Mayo clinic (perhaps you've heard of them):
    https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases...19-vaccines-for-kids/art-20513332#if-children
    click on the link "If children don't frequently experience severe illness with COVID-19, why do they need a COVID-19 vaccine?"
