Then why not vaccinate us for everything? Just give us every vaccination in the world. And then while you're at it, you can give us all the updates to those because god knows they change over time.

I am not getting jabbed with a fucking needle every year just to idiots that have to stick their heads in public restrooms don't get sick.

You think you're being hygiene but people ALWAYS think that. They always have. 10,000 years ago they thought they were being hygiene because they picked lice out of each other's hair.

If you're getting sick it is because you're doing stupid things.

Stop doing stupid things and stop bothering the people that don't get sick because they're not doing stupid things.

I am not getting a yearly vaccine to account for the shit immune systems of the elderly or the poor hygiene of people that touch everything and then jam their hand in their eye.

Nearly all the infections happen through the eye. You touch something and you touch your eye.

There was a day when animals were slaughtered in the middle of town and the entrails were thrown into the street to mix with the horseshit.

Why do you think Africa always has the interesting diseases but not other places? Hygiene. They have open wells where animals drink in the same place that humans bath and... humans drink. Same body of water. Shockingly there are parasites, flesh eating bacteria, etc.

People ALWAYS think they're being hygienic. 1000 years ago when people bathed once a month they thought they were being hygienic.

Newsflash. People are frequently gross. Your family, no offense, is probably doing things that got them sick.

Getting mad at me for pointing that out is about as rational as getting mad that someone told you not to drink the water that animals shit in.

If you want to stop getting sick. Pay attention to what you're doing. Do NOT touch random shit especially in a big city and then touch your eye. Get yourself some gloves you find to be fashionable or seasonally appropriate and then wear those when you're walking around town. When you need to touch your eye, first try your sleeve. It is cleaner. If you MUST jam your fingers into your eye, then take your glove off and do it. Then put the glove back on.

That will do far more to protect you from disease then the fucking flu shot.

The flu shot will protect you against the strain of flu they think might cause you a problem. Not touching your eyes with your fingers after you've been touching everything with your fingers will protect you against pretty much all non air/water born diseases.

I am not taking your stupid flu shot because you can't stop touching your fucking eyes after using the public restroom.

Vaccinate things that everyone gets a vaccination for at birth. That is the rational vaccination that everyone should have.

The flu vaccinations are for the very young and the very old. Everyone else at worst gets a sniffle for a few days. And really, the underlying problem is poor hygiene and not vaccines in that case.

I do not get the flu. I have never had it. I have never had a flu vaccine and don't plan on getting one until my body is so frail that the common flu is a threat to me.

Should everyone get the standard immunity shots that babies get before they leave the hospital? Yes.

Comment Engine noise is bad (Score 1) 823

I know some people like it... including those morons that screw up their mufflers so their cars sound broken.

But look at it this way, everything your car does that is not directed towards moving it forward... is wasted energy.

The heat that comes off the hood or out of the back pipe is wasted energy. Anything above ambient temperature is energy your engine couldn't reclaim from the burning of the gas.

The sound... ANY sound that the engine makes is wasted energy. A perfect engine would be silent. That noise is the sound of inefficiency.

I know, some people like the noise. I do too. Mostly because it sounds powerful and is sort of nostalgic. However, it is wasted energy. That means less power. Less fuel efficiency.

I'd rather have the power and the fuel efficiency then the noise. And for those that really want the noise... put a microphone in the engine, wire it to the stereo, and then let people turn the amplified engine noise on or off.

A perfect engine would consume all energy from its fuel source. 100 percent conversion. And it would waste NONE of it on noises of any kind unless the purpose of the engine was to make noise. Unless you're driving an air raid siren... that is probably not the point.

We need to get beyond this tribal shit, chaps. There are a lot of people on both sides of the line that are complete fucking assholes. And there are a lot on both sides that are honestly trying to do good things.

Fuck the line. And saying "if you disagree on even one thing I believe in then I hate you" or other intolerant shit. People are going to have some differences of opinion.

Focus on what is important. Ignore the stuff that isn't... nearly all the things people bitch about are not important. Abortion for example doesn't matter because republicans aren't going to repeal it. Same thing for gun control... democrats aren't going to take your guns away. Neither side can do that. Focus on something that might actually happen and focus on the issues that actually matter.

We need to come together and solve common problems with solutions that most of us can accept. Anyone that says otherwise is literally the problem. Those guys thrive on the conflict and don't care if anything ever works. They just want to fight and start fires.

Wrong.

He's saying they should be forced by law to make stuff for his platform. That's bullshit.

As to BB being superior to Android, back that up with anything please.

As to my comment being out of my ass... yep... I was upfront about it. Your attempt to shame me with my honesty and lack false pride is comical. I am immune to the judgement of the likes of you. I am making an off the cuff remark and while you can have your own opinions about it... kindly have anything you say make some fucking sense least you be perceived as a cheap target for entertaining flames.

You're saying all programs have to come out for PC and Mac or someone can't make a program for either? This is shit.

BB should just come out with an android distro and stop pissing all over everyone else. They can customize it so it looks the way they want it to look. But if it is android based then they get compatibility. They can even rewrite the drivers etc so it is more secure. Make a cheaper Blackphone. You'll make lots of money.

this is what I don't get about these big companies. It is so easy for them to fix everything and get customers. I took me about 1 minute of brainstorming to figure out how BB could get back into the market and be relevant. A minute.

These mother fuckers have years and they can't figure it out.

The idea out of my ass was, make a cheaper version of the blackphone using a modified version of android and a custom UI.

BOOM. BB would KILL with that.

But will they do it? Nope. Because they're too busy getting blow jobs from call girls to actually do their jobs apparently.

First, fuck anyone that is a supremacist of any bent. We're all people and all individuals. Anyone thinks that they're better because of the color of their skin or their gender or whatever is an asshole.

That said, we have no idea what happened. For all we know this guy cut his own lines because he wants to keep his name in the media or create some conspiracy theories. There are a LOT of false flags out there these days. The Occupy movement for example had a lot of people join the movement that did violent stuff that were not themselves part of occupy. They just showed up and did stuff.

There is also a lot of lying. Remember all the big news story rape allegations that pretty much all turned out to be made up?

Okay... THIS is the new normal. I don't trust anything without proof. You say your lines were cut. That sucks. But we only have your word on that. If that was a reasonable way to make decisions we'd execute people on the word of one person pointing at another and saying "he's a cannibal". No. You need an investigation and evidence and the defense needs an opportunity to pick apart your case.

Absent that... you have an allegation and the accused has the presumption of innocence.

And to conclude... fuck racists.
