Unfortunately most of them are of the age that they have already passed along their stupid genes to the following generation of morons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve09ru Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 1 hour ago, Califan007 said: Depends on how it’s “called out”. “Does anyone think immigrants crossing the border unchecked is a COVID problem?” will tend to foster discussion on the topic. ”Why is everyone conveniently ignoring something that I believe is true but did no research on?” will tend to have the opposite effect. And I agree- so I guess the question is what can we realistically do from a border control standpoint to help covid spread from countries with minimal access to healthcare and vaccines?

mojo Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Vaccine aside, over a third of hospitalizations due to Covid are attributed to obesity, why isn’t that publicized more? This country should take this opportunity to promote a healthier lifestyle because obesity and diabetes are huge factors in this epidemic. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like it should be more than a third when 40% of American adults are obese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should've known better, but had one of those "**** it!" moments, when I posted my original reply. The peach bourbon smashes probably didn't help😂. I love this place, warts and all.
