Here in Ireland and in the UK everybody who wants to be vaccinated should be fully vaccinated in the next couple of months. Hospitalisations and deaths after that point will be mostly people who for whatever reason didn't get vaccinated. When some of those people are lying in a hospital bed hooked up to a ventilator they won't be able to blame anybody but themselves. At the end of the day as the article below proves, you can't argue with stupid.

“Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

― Mark Twain
"They won't be able to blame anybody else but themselves". Well isn't that some outside the box genius revelation. Like anyone who made the choice to not get vaccinated thought for a second that decision was somebody else's... sort of the point is that it's their decision, I think they fully expect to own it.
I've had an ex who would do a lot of things wrong of her own choice and say why didn't you tell/warn/remind me?
You have a warning on every packet of fags you smoke, but you still do. Tell me, is it the fags that you'll blame or do you understand the risk you take, because the warnings have been given, just like the warnings that have been given to people who choose not to get vaccinated?.

Either way Derek, you have the right to choose what you do, and don't deserve to be treated like a seven yo for making those choices.

As a trader it's a numbers game for me, but unfortunately most do not think well in probabilities and tend to make decisions based on emotions

A lot of people seem to base their opinions on false beliefs born from reading obvious propaganda articles funded by pharmaceutical companies, I mean why would a billion dollar industry lie? I imagine that if they applied the same thinking to their trading strategies, they would be aiming for 100% strike rate on every market

When you fear losing money it inadvertedly causes you to lose money

When you fear living it inadvertedly causes you to lose life

I'm still sat here wondering why the roads are busier than ever and it's so hard to find a house for a decent price because apparently there should be tens of thousands of empty houses and a price crash from all the people supposedly dying (normal deathrate worldwide in all countries for the last 18 months)

I think you've misunderstood my post. I was saying that some idiots will always blame other people. I wasn't suggesting I was one of them.

McDonald's is a good example. They've been sued by obese people for making them fat, and somebody who spilt their coffee on their hand sued for the burns it caused. That's why their apple pies are labelled "may be hot" or a bag of nuts "may contain nuts". :)

When you genuinely believe that you're better than another person...I absolutely love that the other lady stood proud.

Get off your knees you flipping idiot, sympathy is an award given to the lesser fortunate. If you see black people as lesser humans, you're the problem... you obviously aren't colour blind, you're recognising people by colour, rather than name. You're the racists.

Being ill (or virus symptoms as we know it) is just a detoxing mechanism cycle that our body goes through from time to time.

How else would it get rid of the build up of processed food, alcohol, cigarette and other toxins? There's a reason why some people are ill more often than others.

The idea that healthy people are making others sick sounds like a ludicrous conspiracy theory if you ask me. Psychological manipulation at its finest.

Even if the germ theory lie that a billion dollar industry would not exist without is true, healthy people would be less likely to spread viruses because they recover quicker and have less severe symptoms for a shorter time. Vaccines on the other hand (if they do what they say) would put pressure on viruses to evolve into deadlier or more transmittable strains, effectively making vaccinated people virus factories/training camps which are more of a danger to others

If you've got a question for me just post the question without quoting something that has no relevance to the question.

No, I wouldn't blame the fags, but some people would, which was the point of my post.

Alex, this is the rant thread. You need to post that to the Covid thread.

It's been so long since I posted a letter I almost licked the back of the closing flap. :lol:

Sorry, what or who did I quote exactly in my question to you? You wouldn't blame the fags because you've had prior warning of the implications. I think everyone has an understanding of the risks involved with a flipping pandemic... especially when there is 24hr fear porn on every screen in the world. The people who have chosen not to be vaccinated have weighed their risks and deserve to be left alone without the mockery of politicians or people like TraderPat.

What we have though is people like TraderPat that will go down in history for the discovery that in 2021 stupid people were responsible for their own decisions... he deserves the Nobel prize for his research. Stupid obviously includes you, because now we have discovered that, you only have yourself to blame for smoking Derek. Maybe we should ban you from every single freedom you love until you stop being so stupid.

No, I wouldn't blame the cigarettes because it's not the cigarettes' fault. Even if we wind the clocks back 60 or so years before the dangers were widely known, I'm not so sure the tobacco industry should shoulder the full blame if you choose to put something in your body.

Oh. I didn't realise that I quoted you on your ex... I just thought I was replying. My quoting understanding isn't all that. I'm not even sure I've made a direct comparison in my question.

The people who are pretty smart, unlike yourself knew i was baiting, hence they didn't reply... they had no Interest in a relentless back and forth.

You bait people... can I ask why?

I asked you the above question 3 days ago and you never responded yet here you are berating somebody on the forum and demanding they answer your question. What a hypocrite!

Or are you just baiting again?

Subtle difference. Derek replied without answering (well, he did in a roundabout way). I just didn't bother replying to you at all. So obviously there was interest in the conversation from 2 participants. With our conversation I had no interest in replying or carrying on the discussion.

We're sort of going nowhere imo... because when I've spoken to you in the past, you've taken what I've not said and come to a conclusion of what you think I've said.
