    He's quoting you to make a point about your post. You don't have to reply to him just because he quotes you...

    and your the judge on whats extraordinary or not.. yeah i know this…

    Thats the problem. When one thinks they know everything, they think their thought is the standard for whats logical and whats not.

    Thats living in a fairy tale…
    and what was that about children? Lol.

    I have no idea. My guess is just like whites, there are probably several reasons.

    No doubt about there being multiple factors (not calling them reasons because reasoning isn't necessarily involved). I have no idea either, but to the extent that there are statistically significant differences between races, (or between political parties, or between genders, or whatever...) then there must be some factor or factors that resonate more with one group than the other.

    I don't think so. I think many don't trust whites or even pay attention to whites. Many get their news from alternative sources because it's easier for them to understand and connect with people more like themselves. Unfortunately that can lead to more people being misinformed....

    It doesn't mean they are less intelligent, it just means that their situation contributes to a difficulty in communication as well as trust.

    My opinion isn't relevant to the current conversation.

    Part of the problem with the Latino and Hispanic communities getting vaccinated is the false rumors that the vaccine was only for US citizens or attempting to get the vaccine or medical treatment can result in being deported.

    oh but it is. You push your opinions as facts all the time and do so in a condescending way.

    its the reason you jumped in here. To impose your opinion as some logical fact.

    What is normal to one can be extraordinary to another. Extraordinary is a matter of perception based on experiences. but here you are pushing your perception as a fact.


    But your game is old too my man.

    Ive already conceded you are always right and your morality is the standard we should all strive for…so find another fool to play your logical/opinion game.

    Sooo.. back to the virus…

    You don't want to talk about the virus or facts. You want to sling dirt and get your feelings hurt when people call you on it.

    You also like to pretend things like dictionary definitions are open to interpretation based on what you want them to mean.

    But I will continue calling people out for trying to spread misinformation. Deal with it.

    You alluded to Maris' post. I am eluding this conversation because it is increasingly unproductive.

    And that is why we have 700k dead Americans.

    Just a little common sense could have saved hundreds of thousands...

    I think that is a false rumor as well. I asked my wife that very question months ago. She emphatically said that was not the reason in the hospital she works at. They simply did not trust the science. Many think that it could affect their ability to have children. And even the chance that it could, was not worth the risk.

    Again I am pro-vax. I have had my booster. So don't think I am making this shit up for some agenda I might have. My only point was that "certain" politicians (and media) fucked up by waiting too long to realize which demographics were anti-vax. Minorities should have been educated on it much earlier. (Like they have in the last 2 months) But for some, it was too late.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    It's the reason many minorities and leaders in those communities give. Feel free to be offended on their behalf.

    Well, we all have "leaders" who are not very bright.
