You are allowed to say whatever you want. if you get called on it, then it's your own fault for not knowing & posting in a manner which implies you know / should know. 'Freedom of speech' doesn't give you the right to say whatever you want / feel, and avoid any repercussions / consequences..
You are flat out wrong dude. I can say whatever I want. And so can you. Others can figure it out and come along or, not. Carry on folks...... Oh ya, and this..... I can wear whatever I want, too.
You missed the key phrase in my post: "which turned a flu into a pandemic." The big mac eaters were among the first and hardest hit, which stressed the medical system, created the curve that needed "flattening", and produced the never-ending lockdowns. EVERYBODY is suffering, now.
Apparently the murder rate in this country just skyrocketed.^^^^^^^^^^^
Um... that's not at all how it works on a private forum.
Not sure about the mods, but the left and media do. It used to be commonplace to name viruses after their place of origin. The "Norovirus" came from Norwalk, OH. Now, saying the "Wuhan Flu" gets you labeled as a racist. However, the media can still call it the "UK variant."
I think this had more to do with the way it was said, not the actual use of the word / place..
The way it was.?? Hmmmmmmm........ Don't edit yourself or anyone else. Speak freely.....
Right. That's the part that is wrong. I'll continue to speak freely.
Ya. Some things will never change. Therefore I will continue...... hee.Doesn't seem like you've been "speaking freely" to begin with.
The people dying were mostly old, not necessarily as you say “Big Mac eaters”. Aren‘t about 80% of the dead over 65? Getting old is not a lifestyle choice. If there’s a lifestyle choice associated with getting covid, it’s refusing to wear a mask and/or social distance.
Being a good citizen goes both ways. Don't put others at risk, but also don't make yourself a burden or the next likely victim. Being a fat smoker is not a good position to be in the next time the Wuhan Institute of Virology unleashes a new plague upon the world.
Whoooosh.
regarding freedom of speech, NONE of us have freedom of speech on this forum nor is there any real or implied RIGHT to freedom of speech for those participating in this forum, supporting members or not. This is not a government funded operation, it is a privately owner enterprise with a number of, in my opinion humble or otherwise, excellent moderators who are generally pretty loose even with off topic (non-Rocketry) stuff, up to a point where it stops being civil or family friendly. I think most if not all of the moderators are either unpaid or at least underpaid volunteers, and I am glad they are here. And yes, I have had at least one of my personal posts deleted because they thought it was inappropriate, and I’m okay with that.
Very few people understand "Freedom of speech". It is nice to see that you do. People have a right to speak freely. They do not have a right to a forum.
