Maybe you're right. I don't think I'm void of critical thinking but have trouble cementing my opinion only because I think there is crucial validities on both sides. I'm not trying to gas light anybody. Merely trying to get a better scope. Also whether your fact/opinion is right or wrong, how does degrading someone else bring them any closer to your side? I can understand walking away from someone who is so far out in the strasphere, but why bother with the insults? It's petty and beneath you, or anyone else. It just creates a further divide. To me the media conversation is less about covid itself but the fallacies I've seen with other subject matter of years and years

After having some time to articulate my thoughts I think it comes out something like this. Ultimately I believe the best situation is to protect the elderly and vulnerable by any means necessary. The economics and social mental health aspects are difficult to deal with but if I were the old, or vulnerable I'd appreciate my society looking out for me too. I am double vaccinated, after all, though much consideration was put into that choice. I also think wearing a mask is the right thing to do. It is no problem to me to wear a mask, whether I think it prevents spread or not. If it makes the person next to me more comfortable than I am all for that Where I think a lot of " anti vaxxers " and even myself fall of is because of complete lack of truck in government, and main stream media. I don't trust fox, cnn, msnbc, or any major news network anymore than I trust a poster on here. Right or wrong I just don't buy what they are selling. I know an agenda is being pushed. Again this is just how I see it personally, not based on fact or fiction. If I don't trust the government or the media or any of the propaganda they spew, how am I supposed to trust the experts, scientists and health officials they bring on to tell me to get the vaccine. It is serious to put something into your body, especially when you lack confidence in the information being provided to you. I thought the way the media and federal government set out to make vaccine hesitant people to be racists, disillusioned, crazy stupid people to be a major turn off to me. A vaccine passport to identify the "outsiders" was a major turn off to me. What we've done here is create an us vs them mentality. The wealthiest people in the world have grown wealthier while the middle and lower class have struggled. We should be looking for solutions as a team through a very very complex issue instead of fighting amongst each other. I do see that there are a lot of ignorant stubborn people who refuse to move on their stance or hear others concerns at all. A lot of this comes from the loud anti vaxxers. I see it happening with the vaccinated also. It just creates hostility and gets everyone defensive

This 1000% times. Should be no private donors allowed. This goes against all things democratic and is widely swept under the rug. There must be a way where the tax payers fund an allotted amount to each party to run and that's that. No outside money. I am a capitalist but there should be a cap in my opinion. A billionaire has too much power to buy elections, laws, and decisions that positively affect them and **** everyone else.

Why do you do this? It's hard to respect your point of view when you consistently ( over years of reading your posts ) belittle people. You're kind of an internet bully. If someone disagrees with you at any degree you call people crazies or stupid or whatever. It's an old shtick. For the record, I'm a left wing Bernie Sanders supporter. I came here to ask a question about the vaccine for clarity from some on here who seem to be quite knowledgeable and it's just like, **** what's the use, if you bring up the slightest resistance your **** on. I'm not pro Vax or anti vax, my views have swayed both ways at times, but they say the anti vaxxers are the antaganizers, but on this site I mostly see the opposite. My question was in reference to when the vaccine first came out were governments pushing this as a solution to stopping the virus from spreading? Is that true? And if it is, is it actually? I know that it lessens the symptoms but I haven't seen anything that provides proof that it stops the virus from passing over to others. Not spewing mis information, just curious. Looking back is their anyone on this site that originally viewed all of the governments steps and actions acceptable, but now feel maybe things were pushed too far? Ie: vaccine passports, job loss, total stop in economy. I don't know how dangerous the virus is and I don't clame to. The amount of deaths recorded says it is quite deadly. The other flip of the coin is that a lot of covid deaths are from very old people and people with pre existing conditions. Is their truth to this? NOT that it makes it okay to lose people senselessly, I'm just asking. It's a shame that I feel I have to tip tow around questions because if you don't you're a "crazy" I welcome Brandon's views, your views, whoevers. Chances are the best answer is somewhere in the middle

One thing we can agree on ha ha Gondola is my favorite pizza. Although the quality has slipped a little bit and it's ******* ridiculously priced. Wings, I'm trying to think. I used to like Montanas wings a lot. Tavern is okay too. I always liked the oven roasted wings from bp

Well I promised myself I wouldn't let myself rejoin this conversation here I am. Although I'll keep it brief I'm twice vaccinated but expressed much concern about how everything was handled. Never once did I physically or verbally attack anyone, although I could say the latter happened to me several times ( even though being x2 vaccinated ) Can't paint the whole camp ( on either side ) with the same brush Ugh this whole conversation brings up shifty feelings and I wish I hadn't mentioned it at all. Whatevers happened happened, both view points have shown validity, both in overstepping and needing to care for our weak and vulnerable. If only people could have a reasonable conversation without stepping to personal insults and attacks. It seems our country and North America in general can't have a healthy debate anymore. One thing I've learned about dialog with others is that my view point moves when a good point is made. Disagreements are good to give each other a larger scope

I used to really enjoy their za and wings, but you're right. It's unreasonably expensive

Appreciate the update in stance. A person of quality will reflect and update their views accordingly. It was a strange time, and I hope it's past us now Valid point

Not to make this political, but my personal belief ( and I won't carry this on any further ) is that a lot of people were **** on and called cooks for not getting vaccinated. A lot of silence with that same crowd, with no vaccine passports necessary Sorry to derail. Eli was cast off for this reason though

Lol a lot of happy people here... not such when he wasn't vaccinated. Just saying

I actually thought that's who he was referring to lol

Lol zack and any high-school qb In the USA. He really missed. He played well enough though. They should give him a chance next week

Feel bad he missed on that sure td pass. Completed it but it was ugly. Probably. Nervous

I don't mean so literally. The way he carries himself and inspires. He thinks with logic and seldom emotion. That's all I meant by that for people ready to ring me up

Just had a thought that Oshea would make a good PM of Canada hahaha. Not even joking

I had a question about this. Is he using 2021-22 money? If so this is pretty awesome. Would put us in a pretty good cap situation going into 23? Can anyone shed light on this for me

Was there ever any doubt? Wonder what the price tag is

Sad to me that this is an acceptable stadium to the CFL. I understand their hands are tied but that place is like a **** high-school stadium in the states. Give it a make over at the very least

I thought Rose play improved quite a bit the last 3rd of the season ( the whole defence did) and I wouldn't be so quick to move on. We found some guys who can play but Rose has some experience that I'd like to keep around I like Ellingston but I like him for 120 k. Shoen likely gone. I'm not sure this team has to spend a fortune on a wr in free agency. We've shown we can find talent through the pipes. That plus a couple of value free agent looks and well be okay. Not sure if Jefferson and Jeffcoat took a step back in the sack department because of lack of talent in the interior. But I could see Jeffcoat going elsewhere. Can't keep johnny a Unfortunately. Demski will cost big $

One thing I know for sure is, with ageing vets or not. Walter's is damn good at his job and I have complete faith he's got a plan In Kyle we trust

Unlikely

Hahaha as if this isn't the CFLs and MlSE wet dream. So predictable. Hopefully the riders go with mbt and cofaj as their qbs. What a dynamic duo that would be

Fair. I think I was a little critical last night. The team as a whole was bad. His punting was bad last night. That field goal was blocked sure, but that thing was going waaaay left and it was low. It was a bad kick, too. The rudimentary xp should be worked out by now. I think you and many other posters have fomo on legs. We've had quite a history of releasing kickers for them to go on to have good careers. Regardless, the osh mentality is to stick by his guys and if the regime thinks he's got the goods then I'm inclined to trust their judgment. When I thought the game was going to come down to a legs kick, I had no confidence. Your right. If I thought it were the odd one ( I don't consider 2 missed xps in crucial games odd ones ) then I wouldn't be so persistent on this

Amen. Would make for better games and show case the CFL talent better, too
