Just want to point out, that the Public Health Agency of Sweden did not believe that strict lockdowns would be the prefarable method, and stayed away from them. 

But I'd argue, that the people deciding on lockdowns or deciding on not lockdowns both made more qualified decisions than @Meltdown99 or Joe Rogan ever would.

just curious why the personal attacks all the time?  Are a 2 year old child…oh by the way I had no problem with the 1st couple lockdowns but by the 4th I expected our idiot politicians to have addressed lousy socialized medicine…so quit acting like child…

Is it really because of lousy socialized medicine though?  I would say no. 

Are the idiot politicians being overprotective? Maybe, but lockdowns is a better way to handle it then we do in the US. 

I get that a mask mandate and temporarily halting large audiences might be better than lockdown....but something is better than nothing.

restaurants and gyms and libraries haven't been closed this whole time. they were in the beginning. that ended a long time ago. just more BS. 

Just out of curiosity what have you sacrificed during this pandemic?  Lost any pay?  Still working?  Lose your business?  You sound like a typical government employee…everyone else should sacrifice…lmfao.

What have you sacrificed? What have you lost? Oh the woe is me defense. Got news for you, everyone has sacrificed something, some more than others, if only for their ignorance. So, what about you?

Dude.  What is your problem…beside the obvious.   May I suggest you actually educate your self to what other countries, provinces and counties have gone through…so maybe quit being so obtuse…now you can get back bootlicking your cult leaders….

Dude, inhale. Deeply. Hold it for as long as you can. Exhale. Slowly.

I’m not your google search…you wanna know what other people have sacrificed…try a search and see.  

Chirp, chirp, chirp. Like I need google “to know what other people have sacrificed.” How’s your lockdown going?

We never really had any lockdowns here in Canada.

Some places with tight restrictions at times.

Ignore OP, they have no idea what they are talking about.

I find it curious that anytime I call you on your obvious bullshit, you always pivot to personal attacks (which you constantly whine about others doing to you, even when all they are doing is calling you on your bullshit/partisan hatred), your wild assumptions about who I am/what I do, and your trademark "lmfao", which somehow reinforces your own righteousness. 

I have sacrificed plenty, but my personal situation is not what's important here, nor is any anecdotal situation relevant. the greater good, is. I genuinely feel for people like your father; my own parents and parents in law are in a similar boat, as are many people who are of a similar age and demographic and are stuck in their homes, unable to do the simple things they enjoy that give them joy and purpose, which is hard to come by at an elevated age. 

but in my opinion it's better to weather the storm in your home than die in it trying to act as if it doesn't exist. 

do I agree with every order that's come down? of course not. some too harsh, some not harsh enough. there's been a lot of fuck ups in my province by our conservative government, but I'm not going to sit and here and claim the liberals or the NDP would have had some magic wand and done things infinitely better. everyone is making this up as they go along, on all sides. 

my personal employment is irrelevant (and another attempt to get personal), and not sure why you assume I work for the government (hint: I don't), but your blind hatred of all things government is clouding your judgement on pretty much every issue I see you weigh in on. generalizations are never the truth. 

I've said it once and I'll say it again so you can put your "trudeau cultist" bullshit to bed. am I disappointed in him? yep, on many issues. but is he better than o'tool would have been? yep. and jagmeet (or jughead, as you call him) had no chance of winning. I don't worship him, nor do I just blindly despise any politician. it's unhealthy, in my opinion. I try to find the good in what he's doing and if someone better comes along next election I'll vote accordingly. 

if you want to keep holding on to one thing I said and keep claiming victory in every thread we cross paths in, be my guest. I didn't read your reply nor do I intend to. there's a reason I often don't engage with you and I think the reasons why are obvious to most people here. I just don't like engaging constant negativity and hatred. there's enough of that in the world.

he reads bitter to me.

but that was a calm measured response.

I can dig it.

I would have said, I have a suggestion, can you guess what it is?

guess thats why canadians have a reputation of nice. with a few glaring exceptions to that rule of course

HughFreakingDillon

I can guess what it is because you've said it to me before. lol

This board is a good example of co-existing for the most part.

Wow, off the forum for a day, 168 new rogan comments.

Hopefully more musicians join Neil. This isn’t an attack on rogan as much as  it’s an attack on Spotify. What rogan has said about vaccines is irresponsible and potentially dangerous, but how difficult would it be for Spotify  to run a one minute PSA during his show explaining that roegan is not a doctor, not a virologist and not an educated speaker on vaccine efficacy? And maybe they can throw in a few links to CDC or other data about actual vaccine effectiveness. Had they done that perhaps this would have blown over, but they’d clearly rather enjoy the attention.

Thats the story here, this is where society breaks down, Alex Jones pushes media companies like Fox further away from truth and accuracy, which makes it easier for the spotifys of the world to become purveyors of potentially dangerous misinformation.

Another productive weekend, everyone will be on the same page in no time.

Well…..looks like what uncle Neil does really matters.

Depends if this is hastily put together lip service or THE TRUE NOBLE FREE SPEECH CENSURING

Yes you’re right.  I thought about that as well but at least it’s an acknowledgment that republicans are still lying.

Like him or love him Young threw a huge spotlight on the misinformation.

Spotify just couldn't sluff it off. It's obviously tarnished the brand and put them in a tight spot.

It was never about how many plays Young got on Spotify. It was always about embarrassing them into doing the right thing.

I'm skeptical but hopeful they make real changes.

mildly curious as to how rogaine will react. all this does though is put disclaimers on content.

Maybe if Rogan was genuinely curious like he acts he could have someone on who's intelligent and informed about Covid and the vaccines rather than a guest like Malone who is on some self-centered ego trip.

early on in the pandemic he had a professor from University  of Minnesota?  that guy was great. Rogan brought up shit he read doing his "research" and dude set him straight.
