I like it

My watch also serves as a Tiger repellant. I have been wearing it for 10 yrs and never once have I been attacked by a Tiger. It works!!

Citing her authority as a Christian, a conservative anti-masker woman says school board members are demonic entities and then she threatens police officers.

Our country is doomed. The stupidity is just overwhelming.

No one is claiming conversation is scientific peer reviewed evidence.

You do you. Others may decide to make a healthy change.
Actually it is a problem because they tout their way as the best way to others. Others will believe them and when they realize it is not the best way then they are the ones that end up suffering. IE: Keto dieters are notorious for this.

Well, I suppose it is all in the interpretation.

I was reflecting this morning of here is this old spy, living along on a ranch to get away from it all. No white Bengals, a gift from a Sultan for services rendered (some spy novel).....but I have my own Tigers.....of a sort.

What's the point? Well, just like the song "One Tin Soldier"(was that its title) and the lyric of you can justify it all in the end......one can interpret just about anything anyway.......in the end.

Do I really have to explain that to you? Saying people are demonic entities? Everything coming out of her mouth is pure fantasy.

Well that part is a religious statement. I make it a point not to delve into that stuff. If that's your only issue then fine. I thought you were critiquing here statements about health or being a board ICU nurse (iirc), or her statement about natural immunity.

Sorry, we still need freedom to express our thoughts, opinions and beliefs.

There are lots of people talking about the best way to do this or that- do we shut them all down? This is almost all of youtube, lol. What about when the government encourages something that is wrong, like when they said everyone should be able to own a home and let those sub prime loans fly.

What about the food pyramid full of carbs? That's gotta be worse than Keto.

Of course the joke that is masks for Covid. Not all masks, some types can be quite effective, you just can't breathe very well in them.

If someone is making a religious belief into a medical claim, then they are effectively no longer speaking as a doctor, but as a private citizen, who is giving religious rather than medical advice. You can believe whatever religion you want, but that doesn't make it the same thing as medical science.
