Why on earth would I waste my time on trying to talk sense to someone who is obviously enamored with socialism? Lets just say I am fine with individualism over socialism and you are not and leave it at that.....which simply repeats what I said with "the finger" smile

I have no problem with and no desire to influence your belief that society should supersede my individual rights and that is where the problem lies.....you want to modify my rights to suit your perspective of what is right and fair. Me? I just want to live my life without interference of my individual rights as well as yours.

hotmail accounts have been problematic regarding blocking ad emails for years here....and guess what, msn and hotmail are the same folks. See below.

"For email accounts ending in @hotmail.com, @outlook.com, @live.com and @msn.com, click the button below to sign in to your account."

Sure sounds like all of them are run by the same bunch.....nice to see it got resolved by switching to a yahoo account.

Poll: who will be taking the Covid vaccine?

Posted By Greg Shaffer

Been reading about some serious side effect potentials.....I will be opting out for a good long while to see which way the odds go. Besides I have already been down the covid yellow brick road and from what I can see repeat infections have been almost non-existent so far.

Maybe Conservatives Will Wear These Masks...

Posted By Greg Shaffer

I suppose that would be funny if it were true.....Have seen a half dozen or so masks like that over the last few months although they were black not red.

Trump doesnt tell me anything.....literally or figuratively.

Poll: who will be taking the Covid vaccine?

Posted By Greg Shaffer

And now this:

"Thousands of people have been unable to work or perform daily activities, or required care from a health care professional, after getting the new COVID-19 vaccine, according to new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

As of Dec. 18, 3,150 people reported what the agency terms “health impact events” after getting vaccinated.

Those who are experiencing these “events” are “unable to perform normal daily activities, unable to work,” or “required care from [a] doctor or health care professional.”

The incidents were reported through V-safe, a smartphone application. The tool uses text messages and web surveys to provide personalized health check-ins, and allows users to quickly tell the CDC if they’re experiencing side effects.

The CDC and Pfizer, which produces the vaccine with BioNTech, didn’t immediately respond to request for comments."


Doesnt sound like something I am ready to get involved in just yet......
