so instead of defending you choose bullying. i see you, bud

well you clearly said downplaying, am i missing anything? I could also argue (and prove) that depression and anxiety is rising due to scare tactic articles just like these. it is proven that depression and anxiety increases unemployment and suicide. Therfore its proven that this type of article causes more deaths. I would rather go with the facts then your "expert" hypothesis that overstating saves lives.

can you show any evidence that over reporting saves lives? i mean you might be able to sway my opinion on the matter. Can you explain how reporting the actual number of deaths is downplaying the situation?

the last line of defense is always PPE, that being said it is still very important. the best way is to get the government to mandate masks, but good on you for advocating.

so is it that you would think 70% of the people suck? This got any merit, or stats that show this? in my world people actually help me, im sorry that this is not the case for you. Remember, you get more bee's with honey

the next time you go to the store and your grocery bill is rounded up from 285 to 300. becasuse its easier to say 300? you ok with that too?

I'm sorry, i really am. People that are arguing with me cant see what im actually referring to. Im the one trying to show that 15k deaths is not something to exaggerate. the only thing people can do is outright lie to make me look bad, its actually sad, really that all of you are ok with nearly 15k deaths being over reported. so once again i will state my point of view. we shouldnt be over exagerating 15k deaths, that scares people for no reason other than shock value. it is misleading and dishonest. your turning my POV into a math argument and its sad and disturbing .

well, thats actually pretty funny. im glad you had a good relationship. ps: i dont like all the contracts either, but i do expect there is a reasonable explanation behind them. if there wasnt a reasonable explanation, jim wouldnt have had his contract renewed.

well we can ask trevor linden, he was fired for not sharing the bosses vision right?

hard disagree, most analysts would disagree, most fans would disagree. we are a better team because of that trade. the difference between vegas and tampa is much different. vegas was over the cap by 10% that means they must act within 24 hours or suffer penalties.

when was the last time you sat your boss down and told him you cant meet his expectations, and still expect to keep your job. i guarntee you benning is doing a great job for his boss, us pitily fans are not even considred.

so you agree, sometimes you have to overpay. do you think we were a attractive market these past few years? all Free agents knew that they were going to have to compete with our depth chart. all FA knew they had to pay more in tax. most analists had us near the bottom of the standings, most FA want to win. jim was in a tough spot, he probably knew he was overpaying for certain contracts. ownership probably had a goal to reach playoffs every year. you dont sign free agents under bidding other teams. if Jim didnt sign anyone he would have been fired along time ago.

would it be such a reach for you to understand that we were trying to make the playoffs? you understand this a buisness right? wins bring people to the stands, which= real money in the owners pocket. having a terrible season will affect ticket prices, season ticket renewal, attendance and concession revenue. for some owners tanking is not an option. and yes you do not choose your free agents, it is way more complicated than that. im guessing that your on plan 10 after a few short days. you bid on whats available and usually have to give in to the players demand. this is not be a gm mode, so many factors.

and we also made the second round playoffs, he had a plan you must realize that. i dont think there's any issues if the cap raises. You cant punish jim for not expecting a flat cap, when everyone was predicting it to raise. Many GMS are in the same or worse situation then us cap wise. i can argue that not going after these "bad" contracts would likely have made us a less competitive team. obviously, each year our goal was to make the playoffs. To me getting to the second round was a success. you do not get to choose your free agents, it is a process. there are many factors in play that influence a players decision. some of those factors are detriments to the canucks, for instance: the taxes that a vancouver player pays, is significantly higher. if you dont think that is not a factor, i cant help you

everyone who doesnt read the article is misled about it. and i would safely bet more people just read the headline. one would say that might mislead some people no? your trying to make me look wrong when in fact i cannot be wrong on a subjective matter. you have already agreed with me that 15k is a large number. why not agree that its probably not good to round up 15k deaths. oh and by the way if all you have is the title to go by, nearly 300000 can only be 300000. keep fighting for no reason other than semantics. i find it quite childish and boring

nearly, is subjective. 285000 is not nearly 300000

once again, 5% means alot to some people. when your 5'8'' do you lie and tell everyone that your 6 foot? why must i be wrong because i dont like how it can mislead.

listen you don't have to pester me, but you are. id rather you stop arguing about something i feel strongly about, your not going to get far. go bother someone else

and your wrong that i care about the rounding, its more that the news does everything to make it seem worse off than it actually is. people are scared of coronavirus, there is a reason that this page has 1100+ pages. im not ok with scaring people with 15k more deaths

ok then, if the difference between 5 and 15k thousand is huge then it is not nearly the same number. 5% means alot to me and a lot of people. guys that are 5'10 will ha ve a significant disadvantage in online dating comparedly to someone who is 6'. pretending that its ok,is not ok. would you be ok with a 5% paycut because its nearly the same, no you wouldnt. so why are you ok with the news exagerating in thier numbers?

there is a big difference between not having health care and being scared. but the article lumped those two categories together, which is rather misleading.

listen, i really dont care that in your words 285k and 300k is close. when the news always over exagerates numbers they are doing it for a reason.if you had a choice to be 5% less hungry, less scared, less lonely you will always choose that. im not ok with the news always making it seem worse, we deserve better.

the difference between 15 and 15000k people is huge. and look in the post it definitely says 300000. why are you even fighting me on this, i dont like that they rounded up.

so you go so far as to think i want those people dead? why do you even care that i think it's misleading? 15k people in the world matters, and thats why i care.

my head is not in the sand, but try to make me believe that tens of thousands of those people chose not to seek medical help because they were scared.
