    Argument of the Stone Fallacy (dismissal of an argument without counterargument).

    Off topic.

    I just want it to follow the US Constitution.

    LIE.

    Inversion Fallacy (projecting your own thoughts/words/actions onto others).

    I am sorry big guys you have no idea about my industry. What you described about your washer makes me roll over back wards, disgusting.
    Even a back country truck stop does better.

    You buy expensive foreign soap, because expensive and foreign is good.
    Its chemistry. Soap does what soap is designed for, household, hotels, hospitals, oil fields and so on.
    May Wotan forgive me, but you have no frigging idea what you are talking about. You wash your crap 2 or 3 times, what for, or do you go to the river or have one of those shiit shakes called top loaders.

    As you told us you have been 2 out of the country, Bahamas and a Cruise.
    I speak for languages, German, English, French and Spanish, read Italian and Portuguese. No high School, just Middle School.
    What corporate media you are talking about, when I spent 2 hours a day reading international media in 4 to 6 languages everyday.
    Sure most folks in the US have a very limited window to inform themself, its the language barrier of the uneducated American
    They think Fox, CNN and MSNBC and so on. That's your horizon

    Come on Man, you should do better.
    A little effort.

    Please

    PS: you need to to learn about Hitler, you might the image of Trump or Musolini and plutocrats, did you mean Murdock.

    Mussolini is more Trump style. The scene when he cam back from his Covid ward, tearing of his mask on the balcony and staring stony faced into the distance. Mussolini at his best, even in colour and live TV.

    Drama Queen.

    Ol' Muso ended up on a telephone pole, swinging

    My perceptions and understandings are a bit more sophisticated than yours it appears.

    I am able to understand that while people are getting sick with a few dying, the story being told by our "leaders" is a hoax.

    I am able to distinguish between the public health issues and the story being told to sustain the "crisis". The story being hammered into our heads is one thing, the viral infection very much another thing.

    Can you see the difference?

    If you know people who became infected why do you insist it's a scam ??? That is odd...and not logical :) ;)


    "with a few dying"...LOL, My,my , how sophisticated of you ! :roflol::roflol:

    If I was interested in your theory of why the entire world is hoaxing you I might ask.....but I'm sure I wouldn't understand your "sophisticated' answer...:roll::roll::roflol::roflol:

    Yes it is not easy. There are times that I find myself having trouble sleeping, or waking up thinking about all of the things that are stressing me out.

    My analytical powers must be greater than yours? I am able to understand that people HAVE become sick, and some HAVE died from it, but I am able to understand at the same time that the narrative told by the medical industrial complex and the mainstream media is inaccurate and deceptive. I guess it's rather like being able to rub your tummy and pat your head at the same time, eh? Some can do it, and some cannot. :angel:

    All experts including Fauci explained that people should wear masks because this will only cause them to be more likely to be infected. Since the goal of the plutocrats and kleptocrats is for as many Americans to be infected for their profit and power, all such experts change to totally contradict themselves. This is why the areas with the highest infection and death rates are the areas with the strictest mask rules. Masks infect the wear, harm the wear and spread covid-19 everywhere the person goes.

    Cheap masks are contagious disease spreaders.

    Interesting! My wife and I have been watching a LOT less news, and a lot LESS network TV in general since the election. We were already 'fried' after two months of non-stop political commercials before the election, that just went on and on and on and ON! I can only imagine what the poor people in the State of Georgia must feel like by now -- the political commercial bombardment because of the 'run-off's' won't stop for them until the sun sets tomorrow! They've been DRENCHED in all this political warfare, non-stop, since last summer!

    Now, after the election, we watch many more programs featuring people cooking food and judging food. We also watch a lot of "Animal Planet". And when we do watch something on network TV -- particularly 'news', it is often with subtitles on, and the audio OFF. This is a surprisingly beneficial technique and it blots out a LOT of the obnoxious insanity of one TV commercial after another after another after another -- particularly those of 'ambulance-chasing' lawyers! Try it yourself -- preferably with a classical music station tuned-in on the internet in the background... (we like WETA in Washington D. C., KDFC in San Francisco, and KPAC in San Antonio).

    When did Fauci or any other health professional (apart from lunatic conspiracy theorists masquerading as health professionals) ever claim that masks make you more likely to be infected? Thanks ahead of time for the dodges to come.

    Turn to the Lord... it is in His hands now.. keep praying and praising Him for our many blessing.. and remember HIM and those blessing when the nightmare comes.. Satan is the prince of this world, but those with Jesus in their hearts can resist the devils schemes.

    That would be easy and its been posted over and over - plus was at least over 1 weeks continuous coverage on every news outlet. But why bother since nothing will change you from chanting the current slogans on the Corporate News Network.

    If I prove Dr. Fauci, the Surgeon General and others said ordinary people should not wear masks - only health professionals - because people will fidget with their masks and then touch their food and mouths - infecting themselves - what do I get from you in return? How would that change your opinion on anything? Afterall, when covid-19 become political they all said to ignore everything they said and instead should believe the exact opposite.

    Why should I bother looking for what you have refused to read and accept posting on this forum hundreds times before - and was THE top news reporting on covid 19 for at least a week?

    The timeline of those saying do NOT wear masks - until they said DO.

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackbr...ci-discouraged-wearing-masks/?sh=62ef89949696

    Notice how many said not to wear masks. This is what Fauci said:

    During an interview with 60 Minutes—an interview Trump and his allies cite as an example of when the doctor was wrong—Fauci says "there's no reason to be walking around with a mask,” though adds he’s not “against masks,” but worried about health care providers and sick people “needing them,” and says masks can lead to “unintended consequences” such as people touching their face when they fiddle with their mask.

    Fake response. Straw man. Read what I actually said. Respond, if you are able. Stop shifting the goal posts just because your "responses" are impotent. The claim was that masks increase your risk of infection. Increase. Where is your evidence that any health professional, beyond a lunatic conspiracy theorist or two, backs up this claim? And why are you so desperate to change the subject? Don't worry. This is all rhetorical. We all know you will again fail to respond and again scramble to change the subject in light of your failure. No one expects you to rise to the occasion here.

    What is expected is your messages will be low grade trying to recite the most recent talking points of the plutocrats via the Corporate News Network they control and own.
