What TF is happening ?

“The no jab, no play policy is in place to help keep children safe from vaccine-preventable diseases like measles, whooping cough, chicken pox and meningococcal,” she said.

Why would you roll the dice with your children's lives ? Death can occur with all of the above.

Whooping cough ! Why would you risk that with your baby ?

Anti-vax parents share tips online on how to flout no jab, no play childcare laws

Experts have raised the alarm about anti-vaccine networks sharing tactics for skirting Victoria’s no jab, no play laws, while immunisation rates among children continue to decline.

I'm fine with vaccines that are proven to work and agree.. The covid one didn't seem very good and turned a lot of people away however.
I'm all for medical science but I also am cautious of big Pharma and money

The worse thing the Woke did was killed comedy. You can't laugh at anything these days. I loved shows like Little Britain.
Now we have to try and laugh at stupid jokes by Kitty Flannagan.

I loved Little Britain. Their follow up show "Come Fly With Me" got smashed by the woke calling it "racism disguised as comedy".
All of my favourite comedians are getting cancelled and it made me wonder if I really am a racist. I believe anyone is free to practice whatever religion they like and f**k whoever they like as long as it isn't illegal and they aren't influencing others to do it.
I'd hate to be growing up now and being told by the internet what's funny and what's not. If these influencer/cancel culture types got their heads out of their arses they might actually understand how comedy can break down barriers.
Love thy neighour is a perfect example.

Pro choice and a sensible and logical position to take. = Antivaxxer.

The covid one didn't seem very good and turned a lot of people away however.

You had the Prime Minister, Premier, the Health Minister and Dr Kerry Chant tell you on a daily basis that it was both "safe and effective". Along with the imploring of msm and celebrities. Surely you don't question them?
I mean, you might be some kind of radical freethinking cooker if you do.

There is no evidence whatsoever where there has ever been a conflict of interest or thousands in the medical/scientific/legal/big Pharma world. It just doesn't happen. Trust the science.

I agree with most. When watch Seinfeld however I find the jokes towards suicide and mental health foul.
There is a piece where Jerry talks about if attempted suicide and failed its just another thing you've failed at. Don't give up try again.....
I mean f**k

There's subjects of jokes that all of us find distasteful, but I bet you aren't on social media trying to cancel him over one joke.

He only invaded the territories that identified as Russian.

And who’s celebrating? I’m just stating an opinion.

And since when has the Kyiv area identified as Russian?

Putin's invasion of Ukraine

What's the lol about?

Mr Strider always throws in a lol in his posts. No idea why. Maybe the sense of ridicule makes him feel happy.

 

[Gronk]

Sky After Dark is off Trump and his Russian mate. Well most if them. Not the Outsiders.

Well i don't, but lets not let the truth get in the way
Doubt i use, lol, more than others do .... i am an evil ad blocker though, so i can't play the laughy emoji reaction game that so many do .... i guess you have your nose out of joint about everyone who does that too?

I must admit, i did find it particularly funny that suddenly peter dutton's opinion was presented as the bastion of of what we all should believe ..... no one gives a f**k what peter dutton thinks.

This is because you entirely ignored the context. Avenger was championing the potential carve up of Ukraine and his preferred PM is against it.

haha, has Donald Trump gone nuts ?

He was f**king nuts before he became president, what did these RWNJs like Bolt expect ?

i dont think even avenger "wants" peter dutton

 

[Gronk]

It's a two horse race mate. So who is his preferred PM ? You're playing semantics to be tricky.

 

[strider]

Just for the record .... i also think Trump is talking shit

- Ukraine did not start the war - thats a ridiculous thing to say ... the war also didnt start in Feb 2022 ... it started the preceeding years .... the USA and their followers put everything in motion for the war
- so i would probably lay as much blame for the war on the USA ... but of course Trump will never admit to that
- ukraine are the very unfortunate puppets in the usa/west/nato game to try and oust Putin .... they are totally being sacrificed for politics/power

- Zelinsky's approval rating is better than Trumps .... 4% where tf did he get that from?

- elections? ... how the f**k can they do legit elections with fighting going on? Dumb.

I do agree with him that people needed to talk many years ago .... but that was whacked on the head by the USA n friends motives .... so don't put all that on Ukraine either

 

[Avenger]

Putin's invasion of Ukraine

He hasn’t tried to take Kyiv. Just like the Americans didn’t try and take Belgrade in 99. They just bombed it so that the people would turn on the leader and submit. That’s the tactic.

 

[RustedonEel]

He hasn’t tried to take Kyiv.

Are you serious or just blinded by your Serb subservience to your Russian masters? They tried to take Kyiv at the very start of the invasion - thought it would only take a couple of days. Keep up.

i dont think even avenger "wants" peter dutton

Especially now after what he said against Trump and Putin.
