Anyway, he tells a story of having, it think, 45 Ketamine treatments....also said it saved his life. Ketamine is really interesting. Lots of people, that don't know each other will report the exact same types of experiences/trips. They often describe geometric shapes and the presence of a higher life form ( god-like) in an out of body type experience. Really wild stories that borderline on the supernatural. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know DMT, ketomine, mushrooms and even LSD are being used now to treat many mood disorders. It's a big thing. Speaking of Joe, he has had to say sorry again. I do respect people that can apologise though. Spotify’s Joe Rogan responds to ‘out of context’ viral video, issues apology for racist remarks | Video https://www.mmamania.com/2022/2/5/22919154/joe-rogan-video-apology-n-word-jre-podcast-spotify-ufc I just happened to be watching his apology video and then saw your post. FWIW , I found his explanation and apology credible and sincere. It was one of the rare celebrity responses that didn’t defend and apologize at the same time.

You sure you want to go down that road? Aside from the taxation part, that sounds a lot like what my people go through already.

Sapper Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Today's protesters claim their freedoms are gone. I can prove they have more freedom now.... Imagine in our youth our parents got a call or saw us on TV attacking Healthcare workers just because they work in health...... I'm sure many of us would have not had the guts to go home and face our parents knowing they knew And protesting at war Graves.... even if all I did was just watch ... man from home to church I'd have had consequences. I would have been lucky to ever have seen freedom of any kind for years. Quite frankly I'd be terrified of the consequences I'd faced fir that So of course this isn't the Canada these protesters grew up in ...... you now have the freedom to behave that way....

Unfortunately, I think many of them have misguided support for the protesters in Ottawa, not realizing that what is going on back east isn't about temporary mandates. I wonder how many would be supportive of the birth of the radical right in Canada. But they are not protesting anything. When they arrive at clinics they are attacking people who on their own free will booked a vaccine.... they are intillimg fear in health staff providing that service When they protest at hospitals they are attacking to create fear for people treating the sick They are by definition domestic terrorists Protesting is rallying peacefully outside the building of people doing something that directly impacts you.

Popular Post JM_ Posted February 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 5, 2022 1 hour ago, D-Money said: The comparison was already made by multiple protestors. It was, and continues to be, a frightfully ridiculous comparison. And yet, when the other side says things like this… …It suddenly seems like we’re headed somewhere nasty. And the hate gets people’s backs up, so that they fear the worst, and gives them reason to think the comparison isn’t so ridiculous. Being upset at the actions of some does not mean that you have to hate them. And it especially does not mean that you have to vilify anyone associated with them. Troublemakers love to use public causes to shield them from acting like idiots. That does not mean that everyone who appears to be in their side can be painted with the same brush. I mean, we’re on a Canucks forum, does that mean we’re all idiots who riot when our team loses in the Stanley Cup Final? 99% of people who are un-vaxed, or against many public health measures, are not rioting, looting, vandalizing, or anything of the sort. They’re regular people, who are just trying to live their life in the way they feel is best. Saying they are “dirtbags”, who are somehow uncivilized and beneath you, is pure hate. It won’t lead to anything good. Heffy is nowhere near that level of stupid (or stupid at all). He's angry, like many of us who can't take much more of the idiocy on display by the incredibly selfish anti-vax movement. Unvaxxed people, who also try to force their choice on everyone else, are pigs. Full stop. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor can you obstruct a healthcare worker or first responder from doing their jobs. Unlike what's happening in Ottawa, where the police remain passive towards the 'protesters'.

HUGE difference between the 2 They're so contradictory because they're not allowing the people going in to clinics THEIR freedom and rights. Double standards. They are free to choose...they aren't being dragged off and forced to have a jab. It's just there are limitations in that choice, as there are many choices. Try to enter a country without a passport. (LOL try screaming at customs that it's infringing on your rights and see how far that gets you). Get in to a high end restaurant with no shirt and shoes on. You can make choices but it doesn't mean they have to be accepted or without boundaries. And most anti vax/mask protests I've seen do have an element of intimidation and bullying and aren't all "peaceful demonstrations". 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/victoria-protest-bc-warning NEWS "Vancouver doesn’t want you here": leaders warn of protest disruptions Sarah Anderson | Feb 4 2022, 4:29 pm The province’s Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth released a statement responding to new COVID-19 protests planned for this weekend. “Our government believes in a welcoming and inclusive society and recognizes the public’s right to engage in peaceful protest and lawful assembly,” said Farnworth. “While the police will respect lawful protests, they will also consider all the tools and options available to them to protect people, preserve public safety and investigate unlawful conduct.” “British Columbians have been navigating the ongoing challenges of the pandemic together, and it is unfair to have one group disrupt the lives of so many others as we are seeing in Ottawa and other cities throughout Canada.” “We understand the strain of this pandemic, but we must come together to beat COVID-19. With 90% of eligible people in BC having their first vaccine shot, we are moving close to a new milestone on potentially lifting more restrictions by Family Day.” “For people in Victoria, I want you to be aware of the potential of a truck convoy protest heading to the legislative buildings this weekend so you and your family can plan accordingly.” “We are aware of the chance of disruption to residents and businesses in the area, and planning and communication by law enforcement is underway.” “We all want this pandemic to be over, and we will get through it by working together,” Farnworth said. In Vancouver, protests are also planned for Saturday, February 5. A large truck convoy could be heading towards downtown Vancouver tomorrow, according to reports circulating on social media. In the afternoon on Friday, February 4, Vancouver Mayor Kennedy Stewart also put out a statement. “This weekend we are expecting to see anti-COVID mandate protests making their way across the Lower Mainland, ending in downtown Vancouver,” he said. “As the Mayor of a city with an over 95 per cent vaccination rate, my message to the convoy is this: Vancouver doesn’t want you here. Make your point and then go home.” “To prepare for this event, I have been briefed by the City Manager and the VPD Emergency Planning and Operational Section (EOPS). EOPS is closely monitoring the situation and taking necessary steps in preparation. I have full confidence in VPD Chief Palmer and his team who will be directing the response to the Vancouver portion of this protest.” “The proposed route passes three important healthcare facilities. While every Canadian has a right to peaceful and respectful protest, nobody has the right to promote hate, jeopardize the safety of our communities, or interfere with access for patients, staff, or first responders.” “Hate has no place in our city. We all have to stand together against hate in all its forms, including when it targets frontline and healthcare workers.” If you’re in Vancouver this weekend, you can check the VPD twitter feed for updates on disruptions.

JM_ Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 @D-Money I challenge you to go to your local synagogue and have a discussion around the statements you've made.

But in all those there was lines you huat didn't cross I've attended rallies over the years where people went silent when we passed a care home , funeral , hospital..... it because we were told to but because it was the right thing to do I've been at rallies that had a few fringe elements that went to block access to people and the protest instinctively opened a path for those people Those moral lines we once had are now gone. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prob. not considering the vastness of the groups being depicted incl. all ethnicities, age groups and political leanings. Calling them all nazis won't work. Except to convince more Canadians to listen to conservative politicians who will at least identify the vast protest movement more appropiately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
