All? No. The ones I choose to trust? Yes, it's why I choose to trust them. Are they perfect? Of course not. |

| My dad was inclined to react as your parents did, but I've honestly never considered such reactions appropriate. Such reactions speak to a person's own insecurity. My dad was intensely insecure. People like that take it as a failure anytime they present as anything less than picture perfect to the w... |

| As stated Pepe, I've seen wide spread admissions that way back at the start, they intentionally overstated the certainty that the virus wasn't potentially a lab leak for policy and goal reasons. As for what the policy and goal reasons are right now, I still don't see how it serves any of us to focus... |

| BTW, how much personal research have you dedicated to this? Zero, in the way of true scientific study, at least, and for very good reason, IMHO. I have never worked in a lab, studied infectious diseases, or gone past high school biology (albeit lots of chemistry in college). Doing one's own researc... |

| Lesson 1 really is that a film has to be "good" (whether that be in actual quality or simple entertainment value) to gain an audience. Lesson 2 implied from reading the article below is that a lot of the anti-woke crowd is ALSO misogynistic, finding strong women characters to be "unli... |

| According to both polls and voting patterns*, most Americans do not support the current Republican agenda, although it plays well to its base. I don't think those people realize that cutting support services will not only lead to an increase in crime, but is likely to hit them in places they don't e... |

| Why not have a “historical” version and a censored version? That seems like a fair suggestion. This thread points out to me, once again, the weird dichotomy that persists in my perceptions. I'm a strong female with a masters degree and highly respected in my professional field, but I hear of Bond a... |

| Even with the context, he didn't have to call the black Americans answering the poll that way a hate group, and he didn't have to leap to "don't associate with them anymore." Both those statements are pretty bad. My response to that poll result is a simple, "Sad but I guess we all sti... |
