Bruce Banner Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 We have turned into a nation of sheep, frightened and compliant! At least that's what BJ thinks of us. I heard on the TV yesterday that BJ has remarked that he is amazed at how compliant the British people have been over the Covid regulations and hopes that we quickly regain our appetite for freedom and dare to leave our houses when the lockdown ends.

It proscribes everything, what pet you should keep, how hard to beat your wife, which hand to wipe your **** with the whole shebang, actually around 50% of the revelations concern what the prophet is entitled to do himself in person. The Old Testament is as silly in parts mind. Edited March 6, 2021 by debtlessmanc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And empathy is one of the things that have made humanity and incredibly successful species. Sociopaths (and you may identify as one) are unlikely to have a natural sense of empathy, but it is an important instinct in most humans. I have plenty of empathy for the young who have been totally screwed over by the baby-boomers. The whole lockdown episode was all about the boomers and protecting their position.

If humans don't understand something at any one point religion and superstitions can fill the knowledge void. 1 hour ago, Bruce Banner said: We have turned into a nation of sheep, frightened and compliant!

Says it all really ......... baaaaaa I think a lot of people have been surprised by it (especially in winter 20/21) and how we adopted a China like society so easily. There's lots of low level non compliance in secret though but publically say they agree with restrictions....echoes of religious hypocrisy.

FT: Stark link between obesity and Covid deaths revealed From the report (pdf): Quote Through detailed analyses of the latest peer- reviewed data, we demonstrate how overweight is a highly significant predictor of developing complications from COVID-19, including the need for hospitalisation, for intensive care and for mechanical ventilation. Overweight is also a predictor of death from COVID-19. Edited March 6, 2021 by Will! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
