I am not looking forward to a socialist society. Others are, but it isn't something I want. This doesn't mean I wish ill on others (well, not generally ). What would you actually baulk at where helping others is concerned? How far would you go? And what when helping some starts to harm others? |
I'm not sure I'm looking for a socialist society either, tbh. But maybe what I am (or was, at least) hoping for was more of a blitz spirit where everyone mucks in and makes a positive contribution to tackling a threat levelled at all of us.
I do, however, appreciate that the virus isn't wholly analogous to WWII. But, loosely considered, it does seem to require a collective, unified response. Yes, the assumptions here are that the virus exists, is a real threat to a great many people, and can best be tackled by a unified effort.
I appreciate that those assumptions might be up for debate. I come and go about just how much of a threat Cov19 actually IS (and am prepared to admit that it seems less threatening than it did in early spring of 2020). But I still think shit might kick off this winter. I heard on the radio this morning that there's increasing data to suggest those with the vaccine are having a much easier time of it once they catch the virus. I wonder if this is true? I'm tempted to believe it, but will never fully trust what this government says. Not after they told us that masks did nothing when they hadn't got any, then insisted we wear them all the time when it finally did. It should've said masks are somewhat helpful, unfortunately we don't actually have any, but are trying to change that, and until then, improvise a mask in the following ways, blah blah blah. But no - we all had to sing happy fvcking birthday and develop dermatitis from washing hands in pure alcohol etc. etc. ____________________ "Life is a sexually transmitted disease and the mortality rate is one hundred percent."

Hard to generate a "Blitz spirit" in a society that's already so divided. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Yeah, civil unrest if they try to lock us down again.
Look, if you're vulnerable, you're not going to go to places where the risk is high anyway. If you do, that's your choice and the consequences are on you. The vast majority of folks aren't going to have any problems. Either they're fit and healthy without co-morbidities, or they've already got natural immunity, or they're vaccinated and so protected from the worst of the virus' effects.
Hospitals and care homes and such places need to be careful how they handle things, and the government needs to have made preparations in case some new strain that is deadly despite all the current resistance occurs. But they should permanently have such plans and preparations ready to go anyway. We should have at least learned that much from this pandemic. But I see no reason to go crazy about restricting the entire population because cases of a virus that is harming very few people increase.
Here I am vulnerable to flu and god only knows what else. I've gone over 30 years not being particular about vaccines and such. I'm apparently supposed to have been taking antibiotics every day since I turned 50. But I haven't. If I often went to crowded places, I'd probably get it all done, but I choose not to, and have had no problems. Over 30 years (and actually, for many years, I did go to pubs and other crowded places, thinking back now). You think that's just blind luck? I don't. I know the risks, and I live a life, through my own choice, that reduces those risks (although right now that's got to a point that is stupid, but nothing to do with viruses or any of that shit). ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

This government's ideas of "accordingly" and mine are at variance.
Do you think they should have carte blanche to do anything they want to without limit? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I know a few people who know someone, but those tenuous links are slowly becoming tediously boring.
I don't subscribe to your MSM & consequently I don't see any empty shelves in my supermarket. We also have plenty Diesel at our local filling station !
I'm no doubt going to be a bit pi$$ed off with this winters gas bill, but I think I understand it won't be caused by Brexit or a non shortage of lorry drivers . . . . !
I sometimes wonder if I'm living on the same planet as the rest of you. |
I'll take the time to politely push back...
One person I knew personally died of the bat flu but nobody liked her anyway. Plenty of ppl I know think they might have had Covid in 2020 but that was to wangle an extended holiday, IMHO.
With regards to empty shelves I sort of agree. Unless these things are pointed out they're over so quickly you could easily miss it. And yes "this is all down to Brexit!" oh really? and how come lack of HGV drivers is a Europe-wide issue? Who are these supposedly temporary visas for, Argentinian lorry drivers? ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

What kind of life do you live? |
Quite a happy one, actually.
Mostly contented, even in difficult times.
Privileged white, I suppose but that's all I know.
I don't pretend that my heart bleeds for others.
It does when it wants, it doesn't really make much of a show of it, except when its important to those it bleeds for.
I just get on with life as it is in my own space.
I think that agitators and such are quite discontented people.
There are a surprising number of people who seem to rather prefer being pissed-off about everything.
Seems no point really, waste of energy.
There are much more interesting things to waste energy thinking about.
Like ... see black widow spiders, right.
So the female fucks the guy.
Then she eats him, right?
We all know that bit, yeah.
But does it have to be full-on, in-and-out sex?
Or can she just get away with a blowie?
Like you know, she noshes him and then gets to chow on down on the rest of him.
I dunno.
I need time to think about this.
