On balance science has done a pretty good job over the past 100 years. Yet we have an undercurrent of merkins who think they know better. How about STFU and let science so what it's good at ?
Is this your advice to the media? The only way regular slobs know anything about scientific updates is from them, and the media is notoriously shit at reporting anything complex.
When science finds a better way or discovers new shit, they will share and your life will be enhanced accordingly.
Yes we will find out when our copies of the Journal of Biomedical Optics, New England Journal of Medicine and Soil Biology and Biochemistry arrive in the mail.

Yes but what said was that "on balance" science has done a good job. Accordingly IMHO science has earned the right to having the benefit of the doubt. In contrast there are sections of the community that get their willies from doubting everything. 5G is a prime example of an undercurrent of baseless accusations creating fear in the community. Somehow 5G is now tied into the pandemic and a deep state plot to vaccinate something something mind control.

...and we get the right to think they are f**ken idiots like the majority of the rest of the population do.

Nothing should ever be accepted without scrutiny. That's fundamentally dangerous and just plain wrong.

Perhaps you shouldn’t pop into conversations without discovering context. That way you wouldn’t expose your soft underbelly of overripe ego.

I'll pop into whatever the hell I want, thankyouverymuch.

And I will expose whatever part of my body I want, thankyouverymuch.

And yet here we are nearly four years later and they're still doing their best to sabotage the country and blame Trump. And Kamala Harris has the f**king nerve to accuse others of exploiting tragedy for political gain.

How does it work here under a two party political system ? The party win an election and the "opposition" does their best to disrupt and make their opponents look incompetent. So what have the democrats being different to any opposition party here ? Nothing.

What have the Democrats done to "sabotage the country" ?

Really Gronk? Both-sidesism from a lefty? Well I'm glad you asked.

They've accused the government of doing what they're doing. The left is also the side of politics most attractive to deadshits who want to disrupt society through protests. Until recently they were the only side of politics to use protesters in this manner, though the right also have their own (growing) set of loony f**kwits learning from the left's example. This is evidence that the elites on the left have stopped pretending they care about poor people. I believe the correct term is 'deplorables'.

Encouraging 'peaceful protesters' in the middle of a pandemic, while simultaneously discouraging anyone who wants to work because it's not safe to leave their homes.

Dribble. Try Reddit. You might get a bite there.

Both parties and their hardcore supporters are full of f**kwits that carry on worse than Parramatta fans.

However, the leader should be above the bullshit in the immediate aftermath of an election.

If he loses, something tells me that Trump's exit will be far less graceful than any other modern president.

But he didn't get voted in on a platitude of being nice and respectful so people shouldn't act so f**ken surprised that this might happen.

What have they done, Gronk?

They paid for a fake dossier which they used to try and impeach the President. They weaponised the intelligence agencies in the act.

This is normal?
