Had a little lad in the doctors surgery keep coming up to me to touch my face. He was wearing giant earphones, I didn’t care for the attention and the mother kept coming to take him away. But I smiled politely and laughed and said he’s ok and even said to the boy “hello mate”. Can’t do with being rude to children, he’s not hurting me
I'm pretty confident you don't know the answer to that.Originally Posted by Niall_Quinn
I'm not sure I do, I'm sure this is a subject that whole books have been written about.
But it was a celebration of the Passover, a Passover meal with his Disciples. The last time they were all together before the Crucifixion.
The Communion ceremony comes from it, but I don't know if instituting that was the point of it.
I'm interested to know what your answer is.
If you want to suggest some names then fine. But we both know we're probably wasting our times.As for the rest of it - which dissenting voice did you choose to read up on?
I'd be surprised if many serious scientists take the view you do. As we've discussed, you interpret things really poorly.
You interpret "you need to do PCR tests correctly" as "the tests don't work". Your worldview robs you of objectivity. True of everyone, up to a point, but your views are more extreme than most.
A lot of the things you said simply weren't true. It's not "excusing" things when the thing is false.I see you've excused everything using, coincidentally no doubt, the mainstream viewpoint.
The mainstream viewpoint is that the earth is round. Just because something is mainstream, that doesn't make it incorrect. The mainstream viewpoint becomes such because it's accepted by most of the experts. You deride the BBC but as I've pointed out multiple times, at the start of the pandemic you dismissed a couple of BBC articles as "fake news" (one was about an F1 race being cancelled, one about a football fixture - just as things started to shut down because of the pandemic). Both were accurate.
On occasions when you've posted links I've looked at them. You had a little thing going with Dr John Campbell. The "I'm just asking questions" guy. Although when I pointed you in the direction of other people who took apart his stuff and showed how Campbell used incomplete data to make points which didn't stack up, you went in to full "la la la, not listening" mode and dismissed it as "propaganda". You're only interested in listening to the people who back up your worldview.How have you counterbalanced your certainty?
Fearful
As for subservient. We've covered the necessity of government. Believing that doesn't make me subservient.
CultAnd so would the cult you just described as a church.. It's funny how you deride what you call my "certainty" and then speak so confidently about things you know literally nothing about.
First you deride churches who are in big bureaucratic hierarchies. Then when I say mine isn't in one of those it's a cult.
Heads I win, tails you lose.
I don't think bombs were edible. But that's me being silly. Yes, bombs are visible, viruses aren't. What are real are excess death stats
And hospitalisation rates
I suspect you will either ignore those stats or call them fake. So that tells me that there was "a situation" which required a response. I've relayed numerous times my conversation with an ICU doctor, his account backs up that this was a real thing. So yes, I think something needed to be done. That does not mean I think the response was correct.
By the government, that's their job.By whom?
I don't think they have my best interests at heart. And I don't think they're competent. But it's all we have. Someone has to make the rules.
But they're not out to crush and oppress us either. Your worldview led you down the rabbit hole or marshal law, curfews, checkpoints, the army on the streets. None of it happened. What Covid rules are there now? Nothing that's affecting my day to day life. Doesn't the fact that the way things unfolded was very different to the way you imagined it would give you any pause? Does it not make you reconsider your worldview at all?
I've been clear loads of times that we have terrible leaders who make terrible decisions. They're incompetent and self-serving. None of that is controversial. I do thing a system of government is required in a modern, complex society. If I ruled the world I'd make our voting system more representative, maybe not full PR but certainly something which yields a government more representative of people's views. I have no time for UKIP but in one election they got about 12% of the vote across the country and 1 MP. That's obvious nonsense, and a more representative system would mean you can vote for who you want and not need all this tactical voting nonsense you get now. And I'd make sure there was more accountability for those in power. It should be easier to replace the powers that be if they're bolloxing things us as much as our lot have over the last few years.don't you even have a few questions about the utter, utter wankers who decide these things? I mean you know they are utter, utter wankers, right? Or don't you even acknowledge that much?
That would work better if it wasn't coming from someone who made a load of hysterical predictions during the pandemic and consistently refuses to even acknowledge they were wrong...
It's about how you appear to 12 posters on an obscure forum.

Steve Wright in the afterlife
My nephew turns 11 today…Jesus fucking Christ. I was on this hell site actually before he was born (under another identity)
He might have been born on Valentine’s Day but he can’t top the fact that The Big Breakfast started out on my ninth birthday on September 28th 1992
Thanks for your DOB, I'll now set about hacking your bank account
In fairness you could just as easily do that with every silly sod who tells you it’s their birthday and how old they are when they are on here. Including me when I’m pretty sure I said when I turned 40. Plus even without your comment, if someone did hack into my social media accounts or bank it wouldn’t take me long to work out a list of suspects.
Anyway Marshall McLuhan predicted an age where our personal data would be available to everyone and we’d be happy about it (the advent of social media).
But whilst we are here, why not play a game where people tell us what their mothers maiden name is where they went to school and the name of their first pet

Roger Moore is involved in a car crash and goes to the police station to report it
The officer behind the front desk asks “what gear were you in when you crashed?”
Roger raises his eyebrows in characteristic fashion and says “Safari suit and loafers”
