i knew a few pretty intelligent elders .
sometimes i would wonder why they remained as elders or even witnesses because they were successful men who made a good living and were highly respected because of their qualities.. that is a rather small group.
most elders that i know of aren’t the brightest bulbs in the sky.
Ok, my friend's dad was an elder. I'll share a quick anecdote about him and then you can decide whether he was dumb or not, lol.
So, my mate's elder dad believed that gay men inserted tampons into their rectum because all that anal sex made them incontinent. He didn't think this happened to just one or two gay men who went sex-crazy ... he believed this was a typical thing that affected the gay community.
So, was he dumb? Er, yeah, I'd say so, lol.
i work at two separate hospitals and most of the rns i work with have stated they won't take the vaccine.
i've read a report that 1/3 of rns will refuse the vaccine.
for those in other countries do you see this being an issue or is it more an american phenomenon?.
I think it will be an issue in other countries, too.
And, whether it's a good or a bad idea to refuse the COVID vaccine, I don't think people should be forced to take it. Do we force people to take a flu jab?
We all have freedom of choice.
so the new biden/harris gun policies are starting to appear.
it’s not clear yet, what they will be.. some suggestions; confiscate all guns.------buyback programs in each state.. there is much talk on social media that if this happens, the pandemic, + all the riots, + all the damaged property, + all the annual murders in america, - put together-will be like a sunday afternoon picnic, compared to all the deaths and property damage that will result because of “civil uprising” by millions of 2nd amendments advocates and just plain gun lovers.
americans love guns!.
Interesting thread.
One point that I think is worth keeping in mind is that it just isn't possible to eliminate guns and other lethal weapons entirely, and I don't think Americans will give their up.
Hence, guns and other weapons do need sensible regulation.
interesting report in a oxford university blog - the world is becoming less religious, (hurray!!!).
quote: "an analysis of religious trends from 1981 to 2007 in 49 countries containing 60% of the world’s population did not find a global resurgence of religion—most high-income countries were becoming less religious—however, it did show that in 33 of the 49 countries studied, people had become more religious (norris and inglehart, 2011).
but since 2007, things have changed with surprising speed.
Goodbye yhwh-Goodbye jesus - but not 'goodbye Allah' and 'goodbye Muhammad'.
Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the UK and I'd like to see stats re Islamic growth in other countries.
so did biden make a gaff again?
he said his first 100 days his cabinet will have to wear ball gags.
lol that is some good news.
I bet Hillary would have loved to make Bill wear a ball gag, lol.
… and must serve a minimum of eight years.. eight f**king years?!
what in the actual f**k!!
the little girl's life is worth much more than that.. this is not justice.
@Mickbobcat - this happened in Britain and we're supposedly under a Conservative government over here.
This kind of 'progressivism' shite has infested British institutions to such a degree that it doesn't matter which party is in power.

It's one thing to ask for 'reasonable' gun laws, it's another to get the American public onside.
Let's just think this situation through …
Biden will likely be US president soon, the Democrats having grifted their way to victory, funded by BLM.
BLM want to defund the police.
There has been a depressing decline in Democrat cities such as Chicago, San Francisco, Baltimore, etc.
Why on earth would ordinary Yanks want to give up their guns? The current situation will likely mean that they'll cling on to their guns more, if anything. I believe I read somewhere that gun sales are going through the roof. I don't know if this correct but I wouldn't be surprised if it is, TBH.
australian senator anna rushton has said that all orgs who "don't take reasonable steps to join the redress scheme" will be stripped of their charitable status come feburary 2021.. https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/k1pur7/the_jehovahs_witnesses_will_be_stripped_of_their/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share.
Watchtower to be stripped of Charitable status - good news, and not before time.
The WTS is a cult, not a charity.

How many of those deaths are because of COVID?
How many people died of other causes but happened to have COVID?

She was a known schizophrenic … Why was she released? - because this is trendy, 'progressive' policy. Treat them in the community.
Any mentally-ill person who poses a clear danger to others should be locked up in a secure unit.
