People that have been around and experienced the difference..

 

 

I'm stunned to see which side you fall on..

 

No, really 🤣

So, wusses-1

Americans- 0

 

 I'll ask a secondary question..

 

How hard have you ever been hit?

Because it presented facts?

Its just an opinion formulated from facts. You can either agree with it or form your own opinions as to why he is off base. You don't have to get bent out of shape over it. That's snowflakish.

[Axe]

I'll ask the entire board again..

1) which are you?

2) Life is a fight, how hard have you been hit?

Two pretty simple questions..

"facts"

I'm not "bent out of shape". I'm just surprised at how low the bar has been set. How we're politicizing a disease. 

If anything I am disappointed there are living, breathing people our there that read that and thought "yeah! what he said! that makes so much sense!"

 

People being morons is nothing new. It is just always jarring when they wear it like a badge of honor

And that includes how democrats have politicized Corona by trying to mislead and blame Trump for everything right?

I didn't take this article as a straight up attempt to politicize Corona.  Corona just happens to be the latest of a series of attempts to terrorize Americans, which he gave examples of. Remember, in 12 yrs. we're supposed to all be dead from global warming.

The intent was to expose the pussification of America, and if the blame happens to come from the left, which it does, then it's by default.

What you're really suggesting is that it's taboo to talk about the pussification of America because it implicates the left.

Blatant politicizing of Corona is what was and will continue to be done to Trump. Election time is approaching.

Great- Live free and die. Sorry you have only one life to lose for the pandemic. One thing he's factually wrong on in that article- comparing covid mortality to flu. There's a difference to saying I know the risks, and I'm going to ignore them (or at least take them into account)- or I know the risks and I'm scared shitless of them....  Us mountaineers do that on a regular basis- at least when it's serious, not a casual stroll up a trail to the top. If I fuck up this move, belay- or trust that rock when it's iffy- I could get killed. 

If you lost a relative to covid- I'd say you've been hit pretty hard. If your job is permanently gone, ditto. 

Go ahead- said it before. Get- your your assault weapons out tough guys and protest the wussification of America. It's a free country- really. Just remember the virus doesn't care if you have a gun, or ten, or twenty.   MHO is showing off your 2nd Amendment rights isn't going to get you anywhere fast. 

PS- yeah overall, this country is turning into a nation of wimps. Yes indeed Gorka, the sheep are getting more easily terrorized year by year. But is the intent of the article that the fear mongerers have cried "WOLF!!! once too often? 

Comparing America of today to the America of the 1700s? Most folks have no clue. But that was then, this is now. You don't have to worry about a nightly Indian attack, or figure out how to build that cabin all by yourself. Sure, there's maybe 1\10 of 1% of people out there who could, but that's not everybody. I've often said Bin Laden had the wrong targets. Take out a couple symbolic buildings? So what? Take out America's power grid? You'd have anarchy within a week.

[DieHardBrownsFan]

An ignorant right wing article.  

[Westside Steve]

It doesn't seem to me the article reads as a poll. We've talked about this enough times that you guys should understand that I believe that while the virus itself is not a hoax the Panic certainly is. Larry I don't know anyone personally who is died of Corona. The mother of a friend died from what they say are complications but she's elderly and probably would have died of pneumonia with any version of the flu. Anybody else I know that had it got sick and recuperated.  On the other hand I know a few people who have died of cancer recently  my age or younger. Of course the virus Panic is just one facet of the problem as America slowly turns into a bunch of pussies. I think political correctness and people who believe it is their constitutional right not to be offended by anything sucks. I don't think you deserve to have your ass kissed regardless of your minority status. By the way that includes all of them. Beyond that I still reserve the right to call people even ones that I agree with assholes for some of their actions. Example, even though I think protest is stupid in the first place I agree with those who voice their opinions against the governor's over reach of power. But look guys carrying your AK-47 and wearing your paramilitary Garb makes you look like idiots. And that's exactly what the power-hungry Democrats want.

Don't know anyone who died from it either. I  know one person who had it,  two if I want to count CantonDawg,

..then again I knew more people who had the god damnded flu.

What has been done to this country is indefensible. The biggest blunder ever.

A hysteria induced virus that had completely outdid Obama in trying to knock this country down a few pegs.

[tiamat63]

Given the criteria of that poorly authored article, I would have to say neither.

Sure, yes, both Dem and Rep politicizing the disease.

Though with this board as exhibit one it seems like any attempt to listen to the medical experts is shot down. To be a "real American" you don't wear mask and ignore social distancing. How does that make any sense? 

What legitimate, scientific source said we'd "all be dead in 12 years"?

I never said it's "taboo" to talk about the "wussification" of America and I couldn't care less if that discussion implicates the left. 

I think it's a stupid discussion to have. A political one with no benefit. 

Trump has brought a lot of this onto himself. He had an opportunity here to rally support by just not fucking it up. And he did. He couldn't handle just one story not being about him. He said stupid shit and tweeted stupid shit and his blind supporters ran to his defense. He literally just had to step back, seem in control on competent, and let his experts do their thing and he couldn't.

I thought Axe was a moderator too.

Regardless, Vam and Cal post news articles and sometimes OP ed pieces related to politcs.  Conspiracies are JABF's specialty. This one for example by Vam is not a conspiracy, it's true, and it's eye opening at how many lawsuits against mainly democrats are being filed.https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dem-imposed-pandemic-orders-face-lawsuits-across-the-nation

The problem you're having is that corruption and wrongdoing from the left is so overwhelming and rampant you can't keep up.

So the course of action is to make stuff up to make things appear fair and balanced...or remove Vam and Cals threads as you suggested.  The lack of things being fair and balanced could also explain the heightened level of TDS.

Barr is now the devil.  NOW the DOJ is corrupt. Yeah yeah..

 

[calfoxwc]

Here's is what I think - some folks are missing the point. Let's do some bullets:

• Yes, I'm a big 2nd Amendment guy, and carrying those AR-15's alienate folks who you are supposed to be trying to reach.  I get your point, but a Gadsden flag would have been what I would have brought with me.
• The wussification has occurred for several reasons - the constant taking for granted our FREEDOMS that men and women have fought for over the centuries. Blood, sweat and tears. The idea that FREEDOM could be lost if we lost our Constitution/Bill of Rights seems so far away - tweetybirds don't know American history, don't care about the Revolutionary War, etc etc etc etc. All they care about, is themselves. They've learned that nothing is more important that themselves. God, courage, empathy, principles, honor - nothing is worth protecting. All that is important - is self-gratification and rewards to doing nothing outside of "participating".
• Public schools teach obedience and parroting. So much of it is ego on the part of instructors who don't really teach. Some of it is ideological - the instructor has a leftwing anti-status quo bent that he feeeeeeeelllllllls should be imposed into his/her students as "social engineering" has become the trojan horse via "common core".
• It seems that initiative is lost when schools get bigger and bigger, and the lowest common denominator is what causes woodpeckers to fall in line with bitching and looking down on non-compliance with the accepted peer pressure norm. When I took over being an assistant scout master, my best friend went on to Ohio State.......my oldest helper in the troop was a big kid - great young guy - 5'11", 240, very strong, athletic. Still growing. I talked to him once when we were around the campfire - and asked him how good he thought he could be at football. He didn't LIKE football. He loved the outdoors, was determined that he was going to be a game warden. Loved fishing and camping, hiking, wildlife watching, botany....loved it completely. He said he got in a few fights over not playing football. And a defensive coach got upset with him for not going out, and finally got pretty smart ass with him. He told the ass... coach off and walked away. That is the kind of kid a LOT of kids are. They are the future of America - the fighters for what is good and true. And he knew more American history than I did. Amazing young guy.
• Challenges - some love challenges, some get angry with them. Historically, men and women defeated challenges with blood, sweat and tears, and love for their independence. Courage ran through the veins of Americans, through WWII.... Somewhere along the way, the left kept bitching - telling people that challenges were not "fair" - the government should make them go away. Somewhere along the way - far too many lost adventure, discovery, invention, making their own way, making their own tools... a lot of folks were spoiled rotten. They didn't have to make something work or fix anything. They could just buy a new one. They didn't have to garden, they just went to a grocery and bought everything. They didn't have to have fruit trees. They didn't have to learn anything - they'd just pay someone who knew - to do it for them. Eventually, they ended up lost when hard times hit, and wanted the government to make any hardship go away.
• History - American history, especially. Learning how oppression squelches the soul - how hard it was for America to become America - how hard it is to WIN freedom. It isn't free - and the price, when freedom is lost, is just as terrible a war the second time around. History teaches lessons to not repeat terrible mistakes made before. It teaches the terrible price our ancestors in America paid to become America. It teaches innovation, self-determination, courage, honor, principles, amazing accomplishments - scientific, mechanical, cultural, economic etc.... that have made America the most unique, profoundly free and powerful and good a country as there is on the planet.

and then there are social movements - so many anymore who bitch and belittle everything about life, about our country. They ridicule God, our American past, our Constitution/Bill of Rights, our Veterans/Military, and they helplessly are wired to be taken care of, agreed with, given participation awards, and receive the most attention and encouragement for the simplest grievance.

and anything that doesn't fit in their little self-world is hated.

Time for cowboy coffee.

We need more rugged pioneers. I don't think wussification lends itself to disappearing in the likes of cowards and soft-minded prima donnas.
