If COVID 19 breaks down the body's ability to deal with other diseases or even causes certain other diseases, then I'd say they died due to COVID 19. https://www.youtube.c...

small & under heel I agree with libertarians about lots of things, but not everything, I don't subscribe to any single ideology. me: I'm an awful natural rights libertarian (selfish anarchist by inclination; wrong-headed minarchist by way of reason). I'm as close-minded and ideological as a body ca...

All things being equal, I trust well organized militias more than a well organized government, for the militias are made up of we the people, as opposed to the elite.

Terrible events stir us, especially when reported on 24/7. A little over 700 people have been shot dead in Chicago since the beginning of this year. Aside from the families and friends of the dead, who else cares? No one. Why? Cuz them shootin' deaths aren't of particular interest to reporters and ...

Just like you're minimizing the seriousness of a disease which is almost sure death (and a pretty horrible one at that) for the sick and very elderly if they get it. Not the way you did. I said most people that died, died with Covid, not of it...

The people share more interests with each other than they do with the elite. When bureaucrats and megacorps are more terrified of the...

The response will vary by country and Brazil can afford to I guess as their over 60s are what 9% of the total whereas the states have 16 odd percent. I guess it boils down to how well ones health services could cope. Over here it was clear that allowing the virus to have free rein would have collap...

Trump reluctantly went along with some of the left's proposals, while rejecting others. It's primarily the left that's pushing for this shit.

You should move to communist China, they don't allow people to think for themselves, question or criticize authority over there, you'd fit right in. And God forbid if you even dare to make up your own mind about reality and how it works. It's like we are born into a reality that we didn't even aske...

I don't see much reason to be up in guns about anything. I do. Like what? What is so terrible that we need to be waving guns about it?
