I and my neck of the woodsers don’t have a tangible good to sell to Walmart so that comparison isn’t equivalent. Now if I sold churned butter and decided that I would let my goods spoil or take the profit from Walmart then we would be facing the same scenario.

Exactly move on there is nothing to see here. Trump catered to his base except there is no base in a dictatorship.

Very true but if you identify as right of center today you are labeled a racist xenophobic anti vaxxer.

I don’t choose who they take money from. I only here about who they don’t.

Artist standing together against Joe ain’t gotta clue Rogan due to his stupid unfounded Covid treatment nonsense. Their product is being sold under the distributor Spotify. Yet they have no problem taking money from say Apple or Nike who do business with oppressive China. I guess that was the meme-able something. your a good person with a good heart. I just don’t understand why we Americans turn I blind eye. As for awful Vietnam, my Dad who was drafted. Was spit in when he came home. My Mom died of liver cancer at 28 after living on base. https://www.va.gov/disability/eligibility/hazardous-materials-exposure/camp-lejeune-water-contamination/ My Dads days are numbered as he fights Parkinson’s, prostate cancer and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma due to Agent Orange exposure. I know the sacrifices of freedom and its dirty underbelly.

Come on 90% of our wonderful posters here despise anyone to the right. That’s a fact. Do most of the right deserve that judgment of course. I served two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. I met some wonderful Muslim people. I am also a devout Christian. I would re-up if I knew I was protecting a people from forced sterilization and imprisonment for your faith. This whole conversation started with a forced mask mandate and morphed into China “ain’t so bad” because talk. I saw brothers die fighting for the idea of freedom over oppression. That’s why I will stay on the hill of not comparing genocide to Covid precautions.

If you are peddling an idea we don’t agree with even though we are being payed royalties for the use of our content and you decide you would rather not take the royalties by not allowing the use your content. I know I’m a dumb red state guy but that smells like a boycott. Probably wrong though.

Arghhh Merica past arghhh. Present day, I don’t make this stuff up. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/is-china-committing-genocide-against-the-uyghurs-180979490/ The story of what the Uyghurs have experienced in Xinjiang, from detainment to mass surveillance to forced sterilization, has trickled out slowly due to the stringent control China exerts over its media. But over the past ten years, as documents have been leaked to the press and more Uyghur activists have escaped the country, a bleak picture has emerged, leading some observers—including the U.S.—to classify China’s ongoing human rights abuses as genocide. Here’s what you need to know about the Uyghurs ahead of the Olympics’ opening ceremony on Friday, February 4

So if Trump forced a national lockdown and introduced “Warp Speed” Covid vaccination. AND separated kids from their parents and locked illegal immigrants in cages at the border we could judge Trump on his “merit “ and the plus over minus doing the right thing. Despite one being bad of course.

I agree with Neil Young but found this picture powerful.

Muslim travel ban was/is a comparable atrocity to placing a sect of people in concentration camps. Also Americans killed people 50 years ago so that now enters into our judgment of how we see the current Chinese human rights violations. BECAUSE they brutalize their citizens but (Glass half full) they take Covid much more serious than mouth breathing dumb Americans. I got that right yes?

Let’s please keep politics out of here. Believe it or not it does offend members here and there is a space provided for this.

So let me get this straight. Chinas forcible lock down is ok in the name of Covid. Xi also gets a pass for current policy of genocide because uhh Vietnam which ended 50 years ago. I so want to move more of my views to the left. Then I see ideals like this and think this is how Red Hats justify Trumpism.

Ok China 🇨🇳 loves its people so much. Thank you for educating me on this. I mean communism is awesome if you look at it from the real worlds eyes 👀 got it! I thought they were the most repressive country on the planet! But not anymore, so awesome to know I have been seeing the world too black and white. I am sure the Chinese Uyghur’s feel the same don’t you?

Brainwashed much lol, wow….. I’m sorry bro that some shit right there.

Sure, let’s look to China.

I am sorry to hear this, these are the people we need to protect. Hopefully you nephew can get some kid size N95 masks to help protect your brother. My only real point was masks in schools do little via sceince to stop the spread as I was using Indiana schools as an example. This whole discussion started when you mentioned Foreskin was trying to override local gov't about mask mandates if I recall.

Indiana Fully Vax pct. 53.4 Ohio Fully Vax pct. 57 Mich Fully Vax pct. 58.4 Texas Full Vax pct. 59.1 All under 60% yet Indiana is not off the charts with infections, its crazy sceince stuff..... I know, I know mask up and shutup the adults are talking.

Shrug, ok thanks.

There a ton of school districts in Ohio that do not have a mask mandate fyi.

I was at the Pistons game (no mask requirements) last night and stopped at a few bars before the game and could count on my fingers how many people I saw with masks. Cool story though, keep masking up if it makes you feel good I guess.

No not directed at anyone, just illustrating my belief that masks don't seem to make a big difference in a school environment.

Never forget

Using Indiana as a Petri Dish and state population sizes aside. Lets use my county Allen (Population 385K). We have 4 school districs that include about 100K students (No mask mandate in any school since school began 8/15/21 )Avg. class size of 32 students. Now with that many kids going to class in and out of cafeterias, sporting events etc. not one school has been forced to close due to COVID outbreaks. I know we are just crazy red state mouth breathers over here but just stating facts.

Hayes might have fantastic defensive skills but his anemic shooting is atrocious.
