Comment Re:Just to catch covid when their kids bring it ho (Score 2) 81

This was supposed to be about "Flattening the Curve". It is not supposed to be a total lockdown until the whole world is vaccinated.

It's still about flattening the curve and has never been about lockdown until vaccination. We're still in an ongoing peak of infection rates. The numbers indicate we could be on the verge of a decline, but we are a far cry from flattening the curve. Pushing to "re-open the economy" and a general refusal to take the pandemic seriously is why we're still in this months later. Opening schools and businesses now will only increase the infection rate further and ensure this all lasts even longer. It all sucks, but that doesn't mean we should do what we want. We need to listen to the numbers and medical experts.

Comment Franken doesn't compare. (Score 1) 245

Firstly, the allegations against Franken don't compare. Shadow puppets != child molestation. Furthermore, Franken and the democrats of the senate have openly invited an ethics hearing. Moore and his supports simply refuse to acknowledge any possibility of wrong doing. Meanwhile, our glorious POTUS and his supports simply say, "we can't afford a democrat in that seat." ie, it's okay if he's a pedophile as long as he votes republican.

This level of (twisted) logic is why most democrats think most republicans are either stupid or blissfully ignorant.

When you put it that way, we really shouldn't be concerned at all with a foreign government even attempting to sway an election *condescending sarcasm*.

The only mistakes Clinton and Gore made were getting the popular vote without winning the electoral colleges. The only victories Bush or Trump will have is making it easier for rich people to get richer by using naive idealists emotions against them.

Comment Why this article is stupid. (Score 2) 245

There's no comparison between two internet based corporate giants throwing hissy-fits at each other and net neutrality. This is a moronic comparison. Yes, there are similarities, but to derive that either company endorsing Net Neutrality is a farce due to this scuffle is just stupid. Net neutrality is an issue because private companies hold the reins to the internet (when they shouldn't) and our pro-corporate America government wants to take away the existing blinders that prevent these companies from prancing into our living room and shitting on the carpet. The comparison here is apples to orangutans.
