You're confusing "moral obligation" and "things which end up being good for society". Those are not the same thing. Society operates on consent, not on coercion. This isn't China. BTW, I said nothing about not giving a toss about anyone else. Neither did I say an anything about bullshit being spread on social media. You seem to have got a bit carried away with yourself here bud. Instead of preaching morality and losing your rag, why not make a reasonable suggestion about how you force people to have vaccinations when they won't take one. Because unless you want to move to China, this is the reality of the situation in the UK today.

I'm a bit conflicted on all of this. I don't know why anyone would refuse a vaccine and would encourage everyone to get this when offered. But nobody owes anyone anything. I am very much of the opinion that it's your body and your rules. You are under no obligation whatsoever to take a vaccine if you don't want one. And there's no moral issue about leaving others vulnerable as a result. That argument is just childish nonsense and sanctimonious shite All I would ask is that that who don't want to take the vaccine stop trying to encourage others to avoid it by spreading lies and misinformation about microchips, Bill Gates, 5G or any other bat-shit crazy nonsense. I don't think that is an unreasonable request Should we allow those people to use the NHS if they get ill? Of course we should. We have no knowledge of why these people have refused the vaccine and we are in no position to judge their actions.

FFS. I've just asked my wife for 2 rusty knitting needles to stick in my eyeballs. She wants to know why.....

I can selectively quote too. That expert also said this:- Dr Gurdasani said it is too early to say whether it will lead to an increase in hospital admissions. She said: “Given there’s always a lag between when infections rise and hospitalisations rise, I would have expected to see a rise in hospitalisations at this point in time so it’s hard to make inferences from that. “If you look at cases in older age groups they’re quite flat at this point in time, so we’re not really seeing infections in those groups and that might be a vaccine effect.”

Enjoy!

I had to check the title of this thread to remind myself what it used to be about.....

I know it was a joke. I was asking him to explain it. Thanks for stepping in though. Another valuable contribution from you.

Believe it or not, I simply don't get your joke.

Why would I be either sad or lonely?

I must be foggy on drugs or something but I have no idea what you mean.

I had assumed that people would spot the nuance in the word "essentially" and not take me literally at my word but honestly I shouldn't be surprised at this sort of response anymore. And bringing up Chile. FFS. I notice you didn't bring up Israel.

2nd jab coming next week. Can't wait. Get that AZ or Pfizery goodness inside me now. Hope the microchip they inject into me reboots faster than the one they gave me with the first jab. The internet signal was a nightmare. No facebook, no twitter.... Get it sorted Bill. We all owe a huge debt of gratitude to the brilliant scientists across the world who created these vaccines so quickly and essentially ended serious illness and deaths amongst those who have had their jabs. That has been the greatest achievement since the discovery of penicillin.

No. Using a football analogy, having you in the team is like being 3 men down. Basically I'm saying that you are less than useless, a hinderance to your own side, etc. Nice recovery. I will accept that argument.

Correct. Whatever tactic wins the argument baby....

Yup! Serves you fecking right!

Margaret Ferrier. Ah yes. I forgot about that nugget.

Are you sure you used to be a mathematician? I'm beginning to think you failed the arithmetic part.

I have no idea what "scumbag beds" are. If you fancy giving the Queen's English a bash, I might be able to give a fuller answer.

I was correct in both statements. I'm beginning to see where slarti is coming from now.

Hang on that's a good point. @slarti, he's pulling your trousers down. If you're going all bare arse on him that's on you bud. Why would you not wear pants? The chaffing alone would be unbearable.

I've missed something along the way. I thought the SNP had 48 seats but that article states it's 45. I know McAskill and Hanvey have gone to Alba. Who am I missing?

I have never lived in Paisley.

At that point of my life? No I wasn't.

I won't lie. I was fine with the dunce's cap but then he mentioned trousers round the ankles and all manner of red flags started waving.

Yeah, he's not quite ready for this level yet IMO and would benefit from a spell on loan at Championship level for a few months under less pressure. I suspect that's what will happen with him.
