This is really inane and the attempt to try and make something "personal" doesn't bolster the argument you're trying to make. Hell for all any of us know Pez is going to end up as OctoDad when he thinks he's only going for kid #2. We're at the point most of us regulars have all been here for a decade so lets remember that too.Phalanx wrote:Oh no, are you offended? Having wet dreams about rural Republicans dying of Covid is fine, but God forbid I should mention that others have been fathers of more kids and for a much larger portion of their lives. That's enough to make a perpetual lurker take umbrage and post some mock indignation.Tray Dub wrote: Did you just say he's less invested in fatherhood than others? I hope I'm misreading that.

The #1 reason I won't be getting the vaccine is because I can still contract Sars-Cov-2 afterwards. The figures for Herd Immunity are all projections to say nothing of the inherent issues/fallacy of Herd Immunity. A common complaint today is still about the accuracy of the test, how a lack of Cycle Threshold measurements were observed and that the recent change to lower CT's has changed everything.
My personal dissatisfaction over the last year is not at my fellow Americans but the extremely Partisan effort of our Politicians who failed us at the Federal Level. We the People have collectively suffered and while there are issues at the various State Levels, the States cannot print/issue money/credit only the Federal Reserve. The D's and R's gave it all away to the large Corporations while the People suffered and got nothing. They locked us all down while not paying us to go along with it and pretty soon, people will lose what they have and it will be bought for pennies on the dollar by those corporations who just took Trillions from the D's and the R's.
I'm very cynical about where we're going and in many ways, I think there is going to be a visceral reaction to the grandeur of collegiate sports on its face versus the seedy underbelly of economic disparity around us, especially for the labor pool that makes up those student-athletes. Peak College Football/Sports may have come and gone.
