I've been right all along, it was designed that way, form follows function!

Genuine question...
If a transgenderist is also vegan, which do they (ho, ho) tell you about first?

the forum jester feels compelled to make himself visible at every opportunity.
I have visions of Henry VIII sitting at the banqueting table while the uninvited jester pranks around like an annoying butterfly. Inevitably, one of these days Henry will get pissed off and shout "off with his head". In the meantime he is a distraction from the problems faced by most of the more serious-minded inhabitants of this little planet.

A genuine question. If an ex bus driver, also an ex boat owner, is also a rabid anti-vaxxer, which (hohohohoho) do they bang on about for days and weeks till they drive everyone away and are just left wittering in the wilderness?

I've not met any 'anti-vaxxers'. Don't you mean people who don't want to take a vaccine which has not been long term tested (as they were with traditional vaccines) and not all ingredients are known publically? Most of us have had various traditional vaccines during chilhood and when going abroad to certain countries. They were not based on the newer mRna technology which was used mainly on those with cancer as a last resort.

I think the term Jim was looking for was "Pro-choicers".

A hell of a lot of Russians venerated Stalin simply because of his ruthless control of the populace. Add a bit of fear into the mix and you have the perfect recipe for subservience. It's undeniable that the "anti-vaxxers" were far more accurate in their predictions about Covid than the Johnson Government.

If you are talking about the Covid vaccines, when it comes to making a choice on a technical matter, unless they are well qualified in the subject matter (which no-one on here is), any remotely sensible person would seek advice from those qualified in the field, rather than seeking advice from nutters of Facebook or using their own preconceived ideas not based on any science. But of course there are a large number of people who aren’t sensible, hence the less than 100% uptake rate of the vaccine. If your point is more general, actually quite a lot of people like to be told what to do because it absolves them from having to think for themselves, and if the instruction turns out to be wrong they have someone to blame other than themselves.

The Governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, is a highly qualified economist who stated just last week that he did not believe that money printing leads to inflation. So obviously studying the Weimar Republic or Zimbabwe wasn't covered in his curriculum. Or perhaps these people don't say what they actually think but rather what they feel will suit their own ends and those of the controlling class, knowing full well that there are some poor wooden-headed saps eager to lap it up?

I was being general but... Science is amazing, but it is really just a tool. Any tool can be used for a good purpose or a bad purpose. Science has never been able to answer everything and we're still discovering the power of nature. Mistakes are made in science, some very serious. That's because there will always be a certain amount of gambling involved (hopefully very littlel). But add into the pot the desire to make profit over safety, it's important that we as individuals can still choose. unfortunately that relies on us getting truthful information. When scientists and politicians stretch the truth to make financial profit they let everyone down. Once trust has gone, we become more sceptical and in danger of not reacting to what could be even more serious threats in the future.

It can't be easy being part of the controlling class, I wouldn't want to do it. However it would be nice if people would use the words 'I don't know' sometimes. We're all human...well unless you believe David Icke...
