Guest Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I have not posted on this thread since I made a complete minter of myself about 18 months ago. I never thought I would hear myself say this, but I am completely done with the SNP. They have based these restrictions on absolutely nothing, Omicron is the variant that will end this, just like the Spanish flu imo. Hospital numbers and deaths are not rising. Some people might think I'm a mad anti-vaxer because I didn't get my vaccination, but I'm not, I think the vaccine has worked wonders for the vulnerable. I initially missed my first appointment due to me getting the dates mixed up, then when I was going to get it, the SG came in with the passport shite and pretty much made me feel like a 2nd class citizen, so I thought 'f**k you Sturgeon' I'm not bowing down to your 'get a vaccination or else' dictatorship. This might also sound mad, but I love my football, and this c**t has taken it away for a second time based on absolutely fucking nothing! People might find this argument pretty pathetic of me, but it's my argument and it's what's really pissed me off. Companies are on their knees again and the SNP say they can't help because the UK Gov won't give them more money, but when there's no need to put the restrictions on in the first place... c**t. TL:DR - 18 months on, I'm still having a minter.Can't wait for auld man Danger to come on and hold you personally to blame for old people dying of covid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you believe that Sturgeon being able to make unilateral decisions is healthy you need to do some reading on history. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sort of thing happens all the time on here. I've even seen death wished upon church goers on this thread. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was ridicule that someone who was forbidding others to partake in unsafe, selfish activities in case they brought it into the family at Christmas went on themselves to catch it at a nice, safe activity. Don't let that get in the way of your wee story now. ETA it's perfectly fair to be critical of those who prioritise (or at least wish to treat differently / be exempt from similar restrictions) the need to worship a fictional character from a book over real life people, jobs and businesses btw.

He’s clearly saying that these places should not be treated differently/prioritised over other sectors that have been restricted. No issue with churches being open, they should be, but they shouldn’t be kept open whilst other less dangerous places are forced to shut/restrict numbers. It’s basic stuff here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need that" Is the worst argument out there, and completely avoids the real discussion about what is proportionate and / or effective. Parrots can't answer that, though, as they've not been fed the answer. "Another Unionist troll blocked.

Genuinely. What's to elaborate on? MT made a perfectly valid observation, which you then decided to take as meaning something entirely different. I notice later in the thread you gaily produce another piece of prejudice. I'm an atheist, and a football fan. I'm also amazed that the perceived wisdom on here appears to be that fans materrialise in their seats at RP/Ibrox/Pittodrie/Tynecastle, etc. without travelling their in close proximity to others, gathering in pubs before and after, or even queuing up to buy their half-time P&B, while chapels and churches across the land are rammed full every Sunday. To carry MT's point in my own direction for a minute (and openly aknowledging I'm doing so) - everyone seems to agree that "the data" is important. With that in mind, I'm curious to know how many people on this thread who criticise the PoW situation are churchgoers?* How many who glibly refer to "Infection factories" have school-age kids? Your original statement of "It's the worst argument out there" is possibly the most honest thing I've seen posted on here, please don't go rowing back on it. Everyone has their own priorities, but everyone deserves consideration, even if their values don't coincide with your own. If the response to a specific interest group being perceived as being treated favourably is to have them subject to harsher restrictions rather than have restrictions removed from the interest group to which you belong, I would refer you to this little ditty.. * I've got no interest in Organised Religion, but I'd hazard a guess that in some areas, mainly cities, it isn't the chapels and churches getting the big attendances. And it won't be on a Sunday, either, but P&B appears pretty christian-centric where this subject is concerned. Apologies to those of any other faith, but I don't believe in you IF either. -10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
