Have you been vaccinated (Part Deux as of Sept 25, 2021)?
StanleyCupOneDay replied to Gawdzukes's topic in Off-Topic General
I can see how that impression was given rereading my post. I never said they were automatically equated. But since you aren’t talking about elected officials and are instead talking about people generally I won’t rehash that. Nowhere did I say only being an anti-vaxxer makes you an idiot. That’s your own assumption to what I meant, not what I said. Considering your previous response getting upset about changing subjects it surprises me that you’ve changed the discussion about anti-vax people to a subjective definition about who you feel are stupid. “they are known to change subjects when they have no valid argument in the initial discussion.” You didn’t answer a majority of my post questions, which I unfortunately expected, so I’ll just ask one straight forward one: Do you believe all anti-vaxxers are idiots? Or is it just liberals? -

It’s an assumption on my part that the user was referring to the loud minority of Conservative party members in his post. Could be wrong. I’ll move it back to people though. Let’s go through with this discussion. You say some Liberals are idiots in response to criticism about conservatives. I say I agree with you that any anti-vaxxer is being stupid regardless of ideology. Now what? Do you think arguing “others are bad too” suddenly makes the “too” part disappear? Are conservatives now off the hook for their part in anti-vax views? Do you win the debate by trying to make it seem like it’s an equal problem among all ideologies? Furthermore your post makes clear you have no problem criticizing liberals who have anti-vax views, which is great! I agree. So does your position on anti-vax views extend to all people including conservatives? Or is it a politically situational belief used to target those you disagree with that changes depending on which ideology is getting said criticism? What exactly is your “valid argument”? -

Big difference between voters and elected officials don’t you think? You see an idiot spouting anti-vax nonsense you automatically dismiss it, you see someone that represents you doing the same and maybe you hesitate or refuse when had they said differently you could have been convinced to get the shots. Of course there’s obviously anti-vaxxers among all political ideologies: anyone saying otherwise is lying, but there is no Liberal, NDP or Green elected representatives refusing to get vaccinated or pushing conspiracy theories, disinformation and misinformation about covid. I can’t find any info on the Bloc Québécois and their elected reps (the leader supports a vaccine passport, so I’m guessing most if not all reps from them is pro-vaccine) and obviously the PPC is the anti-vax party. Like it or not people listen to who they trust and having elected Conservatives not telling their constituents to get vaccinated or refusing to say if they themselves are vaccinated is contributing to the problem. That has an effect on how long this pandemic lasts, how many lives are sickened, lost or even disrupted by lack of basic health care on issues from clogged hospitals/icus preventing other health problems being addressed (cancelled surgeries, no emergency room space for non-covid life and death situations, cancer treatments being delayed etc.) Anyone saying all conservatives are anti-vaccine is also lying, however there is a mostly rural minority of elected conservative representatives who refuse to get on board with the basics to protect themselves, their families and their constituents and often it is in the places most needing to get more jabs in arms. That has a negative impact on all of us. It’s not just about what that person does themselves, it’s about what the effects that decision has on everything else. -
Kid cartoons/movies and top 40’s music. Dunno why, but they make me feel happy and uplifted even in times of great sorrow/distress. That’s my go to when I feel down. Also good news stories are truly everywhere, you just don’t hear about it that often in our daily lives because media needs us to feel down so that we tune in tomorrow to “stay informed” on negative stories we can’t do anything about or hope for a better day even though they rarely ever cover the positive. Search for good and you will find it just like if you search for bad.
