I'm dumb, why would being made immune to Rubella be a bad thing?

Since the guy is continually praising the free market I thought it might be a reference to universal healthcare being socialism and this being his kryptonite. Like how right-wingers think muslims are deathly afraid of/repealed like vampires by bacon rather than simply don't eat it. But it could be an anti-vaccination thing as has already been mentioned, I'm pretty sure there's a conspiracy theory about mind controlling substances in vaccinations so it could go either way.

The anti-vaccination garbage spans the entire spectrum of tinfoil hat wearing retardedness. My pharmacy was doing flu shots, shingles shots and MMR shots. We had a few people that insisted the government put nanobots in them to make them want to shop more :shepface:. I've also heard "I don't do vaccines it causes autism, that's how I caught my autism." This person had a lot of diseases, none of them affected communication or cognitive function. I've had plenty of idiots use "they had mercury in them that's why I am not book smart."

It makes me sad :eng99:, gently caress whoever started all this anti-vaccination crap.

Part of me thinks we should sympathise with them because it's generally a fantasy to regain some illusion of control after a bad turn in life and maybe believing in a conspiracy is less upsetting than the random, cruelty of existence but then I remember that not vaccinating their kids ends up with deadly viral infections resurging and people dying as a result and I think no actually gently caress them because intent doesn't really matter that much when they are making life worse for everyone around them.

The justice system already ruled that parents can't refuse life saving medical treatment for their children on religious basis a long time ago so I don't know why they let this poo poo fly. If I remember right this was a bunch of wealthy people doing this and advocating for it right?


E: Actually it wasn't that long a go Planned Parenthood of Central Missouri v Danforth, 428 US 52, 74(1976, Prince v Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 321 US 158, 170(1944), and Jehovah's Witnesses v King County Hospital Unit No. 1, 278 F Supp 488 (WD Wash 1967), affirmed per curiam 390 US 598(1968). 50 years is long enough for these morons to know better.

Well I can't attest to America but in the UK it's largely a middle class phenomenom. Unlike the US there aren't lobbying groups as such but there was, in the 90s or 00s, a huge media-led scandal about MMR causing autism (started by a doctor who had just co-incidentally patented separate measles, mumps and rubella vaccinnations) and the prime minister at the time refusing to declare whether his kids had been vaccinated, leading to public confidence being hugely undermined. The government was also at the time trying to turn the health service into a service provider offering consumer choice rather than treating patients and focussing on public health, which can't have helped matters.

I love this so much. The best part is that from what I've read and heard, Allah is actually a pretty understanding and forgiving dude when it comes to poo poo he forbids. So like, if it was "eat pig or starve" you could totally eat pig as a devout Muslim and Allah would be cool about it. But no, clearly if some bigot dangles it in front of you or throws it at you or some poo poo you won't get to go to heaven or whatever.

It seems like a surreal chinese whispers game of racists' trying to understand other cultures, where third-hand retellings of de-contextualised Koran passages result in people expressing anti-muslim sentiments by stapling pork sausages to the American flag with no sense of irony or the inherent ridiculousness of their actions.

Well, what national day does Wales celebrate, and what do they do for it? Besides... drink and eat whatever's stereotypically Welsh, though I honestly don't know what that is.

March the 1st is St. David's day, who's the patron saint of Wales. They hold an eisteddfod, which is kinda like a folk arts recital type thing, sometimes parades, concerts, and food festivals as well. For stereotypical food there are a variety of traditional cakes, lamb, seafood, wild game, beer, and cawl (their version of irish stew basically) is often associated with the day.

I love how Milo calls himself a "cultural libertarian" while being a raging homophobe and misogynist. What does that word even loving mean? It's about as meaningless as the other gamergate favorite "cultural marxism."

Cultural Marxism isn't a meaningless phrase it means please ignore my opinions they are garbage.

Crowder still seems like a wannabe to me, but Milo getting his Twitter check mark taken away pushed him over the edge into full-blown alt-right neo-naziism.

Ben's more like that John Nolte character on Twitter in that they seem to get their rocks off on just being insufferable assholes to as many people as possible.

Crowder strikes me as a guy who's after attention above all else, he's pathetic primarily so no matter how nasty he gets it's just needy. Is Shapiro a big deal beyond this thread or is he a matt walsh-like?

Christ...like I'm not supposed to be some sort of 'Social Justice" type but these people are so goddamn far to the right and so goddamned insane it's made me almost into one.

Blyth also claims thatt Jeremy Corbyn is a chronic back benches without policies who has no interest in becoming PM. That his interests start and end with killing off the Tory party to spite Thatcher.


He also claims that capitalism will solve climate change eventually because when the effects of climate change becomes so bad that it hurts profits. Capitalism will rally its immense powers and fix climate change. So we don't really have to worry about it now.

He's a boughie shill and gets the wall.

That's disappointing to discover about him, killing off the Tory party to spite Thatcher sounds like a stellar platform/policy to me.
