Anti-vaccination, whats old is new again
thedestroyerofworlds replied to JM_'s topic in Off-Topic General
This week saw a decades long study published that refutes the "MMR vaccines cause autism" B.S. that anti-vaxxers push. It was a massive study involving the populations of Denmark. https://annals.org/aim/fullarticle/2727726/measles-mumps-rubella-vaccination-autism-nationwide-cohort-study Measles, Mumps, Rubella Vaccination and Autism: A Nationwide Cohort Study -
Anti-vaccination, whats old is new again

The people yelling FAKE could be handed definitive evidence, or even get results from an experiment that validates moon landings, vaccines, spherical Earth, climate change, or science and these people would double down in their beliefs. Ken Ham admitted to it in his debate with Bill Nye. The flat Earthers in the recent documentary "Behind the Curve" demonstrated it. I could go on. -
Well they kinda do when over 90% of the time, incumbents win reelection in the US. Its not much different here in Canada. A sitting mayor of Prince George has only lost reelection I think 3 times. Most of the time, our MLAs only changed when there was a retirement. Our MP Dick Harris lived in Osoyoos for the last 3 years of his final term, and people here still voted for the conservative candidate.

Lefty. Ok pal. You tell me if this doesn't sound like western alienation. And I said IN PART. "The party was the brainchild of a group of discontented Western interest groups who were upset with the PC government and the lack of a voice for Western concerns at the national level. Leading figures in this movement included Ted Byfield, Stan Roberts, Francis Winspear, and Preston Manning. A major intellectual impetus at the time was provided by Peter Brimelow's 1986 book, The Patriot Game. They believed the West needed its own party if it was to be heard. "

If I was a youngish GOP Senator, appointing BK may hand the opposition years of ammunition against you. https://theintercept.com/2018/10/04/brett-kavanaugh-perjury-warrantless-surveillance/ IN LETTER TO TRUMP, HOUSE DEMOCRATS PROMISE TO INVESTIGATE BRETT KAVANAUGH FOR PERJURY IF CONFIRMED

This sums up how much of a sham this "investigation" into Brett is. 100 Senators have access to ONE copy of an over 1000 page report. Scam. https://www.salon.com/2018/10/04/fbi-investigation-into-kavanaugh-is-over-1000-pages-senators-must-read-a-single-copy-in-24-hours/ FBI investigation into Kavanaugh is over 1,000 pages. Senators must read a single copy in 24 hours Senators would have to read one page per minute to read it all in less than 17 hours

Didn't want to burn up my free views on the Washington Post, so found it here. https://www.newsweek.com/more-1000-law-professors-sign-letter-calling-senate-not-confirm-kavanaugh-1151993?amp=1 MORE THAN 1,000 LAW PROFESSORS SIGN LETTER CALLING ON SENATE NOT TO CONFIRM KAVANAUGH

Sounds to me like someone is building a case for a run for the GOP nomination, does it not??

Didn't watch the episode, so fine, you got me there. However, I penalize you. Did I accuse you of defending BK? No. I haven't looked though all the pages in this thread and my post was directed to those who were defending BK. I too am as objective as possible. The whole reason why this whole thing is a sham has to do with the GOP and their insistence that this happen before the midterms. I'm fully aware that criminal cases have a higher burden of proof. This whole process is not criminal, and therefore has a lower burden of proof. If the GOP was concerned about getting qualified, "good" people on the bench, they would have taken more time an care in who was put forward. Don't blame Ford and the Dems for how crazy this is. That falls squarely on TRUMP!! and the GOP.

I some questions for the Kavanaugh defenders: Would you pet a dog that might have bitten other people? Would you let someone stay in you house who might have stolen property from other people? Would you have unprotected sex with someone who might have been exposed to an STD? Are you OK with BK and the questions of his character sitting on the highest court in the US for decades? OR Would you require a lot more digging into the past of the dog, etc. before petting the dog, letting the person stay in your house, having sex with that person, and letting BK sit on the Supreme Court?

What a baby. She deserved all the penalties she got. She berated the ref over and over. Then cried a river. This isn't the first time Serena pulled this garbage

When you actually crunch the numbers this represents a drop in the bucket when you compare it to the money that can best be described as corporate welfare. You want waste look at the cost overruns in the Harper navy shipbuilding program. Billions was spent before even the first ship was started. The navy ends up getting fewer ships that cost way way more than if they had built the ships elsewhere and outfitted them here. This is also akin to the calls for welfare recipients passing drug tests to get welfare. Whenever it has been tried the testing program cost more than what the taxpayer saved in not having to pay druggies welfare.
