I guess that's where I am at, too. I think these stories need to be shared, not for empathy and not to celebrate "Darwin." But simply in the hopes that it'll open someone's eyes, even if it's not as many eyes as we'd hope.gimmesometruth27 said:

I don't have empathy, nor am I happy about it. They're just anecdotes that have (at least in theory) some value.1995 Milwaukee 1998 Alpine, Alpine 2003 Albany, Boston, Boston, Boston 2004 Boston, Boston 2006 Hartford, St. Paul (Petty), St. Paul (Petty) 2011 Alpine, Alpine

i think i have lost some of my humanity over the last 20 months. i have hidden it pretty well, but it has been a bad week for me and i came here for distraction and ended up saying something i should have kept to myself.mickeyrat said:gimmesometruth27 said:

it's nowhere near as bad as you think it is. believe me, most of us get it. most of us have said or at least thought something similar. don't beat yourself up about it. it's just so incredibly frustrating how so many people are willing to die to own the libs. and maybe infect someone else in the meantime, and especially with this guy, who probably is indirectly responsible for other people making the same choices and possibly killing themselves or others. it's staggeringly stupid, and no, I don't feel sorry for them either.gimmesometruth27 said:

Life needs to be uncomfortable and inconvenient for the unvaccinated.
I would like to see 13 military field hospitals in Canada to send the unvaccinated Covid patients to…just put it in the middle of each province?
why should the unvaccinated take up valuable hospital space because of their poor decisions?
and I never would have said this before…but the unvaccinated without reason should be covering their own Covid treatment so or later.
Ontarios weak premier is to much of a clown to have mandatory vaccinations of heAlth care workers, education workers and children attending school. He refuses to issue vaccine passports.
Ontario is so fucked and behind the 8 ball.

thanks for the words, man. i have been angry about the current situation for a while now and i think i am realizing how hopeless the situation is. people are going to do what they want to do, no matter the risk. but i draw the line at them risking other people. that is where my anger comes from. especially when i have sacrificed and done everything in my power to protect THEM. got the vaccine, continue to mask up and wash hands, etc. it is beyond frustrating. now i just feel sad, and me putting things like "testing negative for empathy" out into the universe is not helping anybody.HughFreakingDillon said:

Falling down,...not staying down0 -
i can't imagine how frightened those kids would be. it would KILL me to know one of my daughters was in that situation. it was bad enough when my first born was 6 and had a two week stay while they got her colitis under control, and we couldn't stay with her. leaving her there in the evening was TORTURE. I can't imagine weeks on end with ZERO contact. makes me so sad for those kids/families.Kat said:

I just watched a video on you tube. A Florida hospital and the chief medical guy there was saying how more children are in hospitals in southern states with poor vaccination uptake.
I made the mistake of reading the comments. Wow u.s.a has a real problem on thier hands. Its disgusting what people think.

it's nowhere near as bad as you think it is. believe me, most of us get it. most of us have said or at least thought something similar. don't beat yourself up about it. it's just so incredibly frustrating how so many people are willing to die to own the libs. and maybe infect someone else in the meantime, and especially with this guy, who probably is indirectly responsible for other people making the same choices and possibly killing themselves or others. it's staggeringly stupid, and no, I don't feel sorry for them either.gimmesometruth27 said:
i think i have lost some of my humanity over the last 20 months. i have hidden it pretty well, but it has been a bad week for me and i came here for distraction and ended up saying something i should have kept to myself.mickeyrat said:gimmesometruth27 said:

i am sorry for my harshness, but people got sick and some may have died because of this man's words.
may his story be a cautionary tale. but we all know it will not be.humor is typically based in truth. are you concerned at all what such a stance means for your humanity? doesnt it kind of become an eroding , coroding thing? starts to slip away unnoticed because its subtle?
if it was just taking a selfie on the edge of a cliff, fine, but this affects other people. it's like the person taking the selfie on the edge of the cliff but grabbing on to someone behind a fence and taking them with them to their death.
seeing the numbers of those kids in ICU's now in NO; it is ENRAGING.
i am not sure what they are thinking, but whatever it is it is very problematic for the community as a whole. not just their particular families."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

I can't imagine there's much worse a person can go through than losing a child.lastexitlondon said:
This was what i was trying to say the other day. It's happening and some can't see it. I lost a child and i have 4 living children i want to keep it that way. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. There are no winners in this pandemic. What the anti vaxxers and covid deniers are even thinking is way beyond me and many here.Kat said:
This morning the news show host announced that the next guest would be talking about how the children in the hospital with covid are there alone, away from family. I shut it off...can't listen anymore. It's frustrating....how do you get people to care enough to do things so they won't die?...the children won't die or become orphaned or lose one parent?HughFreakingDillon said:
