So basically, you have the same affinity for cops as you would people... almost as if they are people. Just as there are good people and bad people, there are good cops and bad cops. And just like regular people, most are good, but the ones that are bad get all the attention. For me, I...

I remember after 9/11, 2001, everyone LOVED cops and firemen. Now, cops are looked at as evil minority killing racist monsters. It won't take long for that to happen again. Heck, a few weeks ago we had two customers verbally fighting in our store. I called the manager on duty and he asked...

We always lived in that world, only now people actually are realizing it. But, much like what happened after 9/11, it will all go back to normal and we won't give a **** about them soon enough. I swear, when Kobe died everyone I worked with was so upset and I was just like.... how does this...

Yep. The media is what caused panic. The country is responding appropriately, but the media is taking that response and turning it into panic. And the guy is totally right. People are responding to the panic because if they don't then they will be without supplies. Stores are empty, not...

Yep. It's actually the smaller businesses that are laying people off, not to say they should be blamed for it. My company, a large retailer that is privately owned, closed down my store before it was mandatory and closed all other stores in the nation to customers and focused on online sales...

Don't throw that turkey carcass away. Oil and roast those bones, throw it in a pot with some water, herbs, and raw veggies and.... well... technically a stock but ya know what I mean...

I genuinely laughed.

It isn't that I am not a people person, I just don't give respect to people that make wild claims and then fail to support those claims. I would hope that my lack of sugar coating things would make said people stop doing dumb things, but no. That being said, I don't hate him as that implies...

So... you make the claim that the virus is mutating, then you provide a source that does not actually say that (yet again) and then you tell me to go find the evidence to support the claim you made.... Do not attribute the actions of another to me. When have I dismissed a source out of hand...

Why change now? D'Snowth and I have gone back and forth many times on various topics and almost any time I ask for a source he either does not provide one or provides one that does not say what he claims, sometimes even taking the opposite position.

So... just doing a quick word search to find the passage that says the virus is mutating shows that the word "mutate" and "mutating" are not even in the document. I tried "change" and nothing of substance popped up. Can you please point me to where the document says the virus is mutating to a...

And where are your sources about this virus mutating to a point where it becomes unstoppable? Or are you just wallowing in hysteria?

So here is the thing... Yes, this should be taken seriously and is a big deal. However, the media also is hyping the crap out of this thing and scaring people. They are giving out information about rumors, not just fact. Also, leading up to this EVERYTHING was the end of the world so the...

I think it's because that joke is not funny and barely qualifies as word play, but that is just a guess. Also, the proper response to my previous post was this:

Dang, if the discussion was interesting enough to be deleted I wish I had read it. This forum has a mod with an very itchy trigger finger when it comes to removing posts. It seems to be done with the precision of a shot gun as well, with totally innocuous posts getting caught up in the deletion.

So eat a salad...

I don't think it is sad at all. Kids watch what their parents watch and a lot of parents are watching non-stop coverage of sheer panic. This is what Sesame Street has always done: address a major event that effects kids. What I find disturbing is that it wants kids to rub butts with people...

I've been training for this my whole life.

To be fair, 100 cases in an entire state is not a lot. What we need to do is exercise extreme caution now so those numbers go down and not up.

My store closed for at least two weeks as of today. Good news is they are doing it with pay because the company I work for is actually pretty good. What I fear is what this will do to small businesses and I hope there is some plan for economic relief for those businesses that are forced to...
