Re: Do important people still sign checks?

I was surprised when reading this article today that Trump signed "bundles" of checks while he was President. I figured that CEO's and other VIP's would not have time to sign bundles of checks. https://abcnews.go.com/US/ahead-summations-trump-trial-brief-witness-stand/story?id=110516687 M...

Re: HPV and Cancer link

However if parents are making the decision for their children then that really isn't an individual decision is it? A true individual decision would be to let children make their own informed decisions about vaccines without the coercion/influence of their parents. If down there road my child decide...

Re: May 11 2024 Freedom of Religion in the U.S.

The purpose of this thread is .. “not much.” i wanted a reminder that on May 11 2024, these words below became highly controversial - HB says, “globally.” Description: "Get married and start a family." It’s likely i’ll forget. i want to remember. In my lifetime, this formerly profound, ho...

Re: HPV and Cancer link

J.M.: .. leave it up to individuals conscious .. saying in one breath, “to leave it to individuals, AND, that choosing to pass is sin,” is hard to swallow. Ultimately, it is up to the individuals. But know I have seen the same rationale applied to Hep. B. vaccinations in the 90s, and know of a chil...

Re: War in Gaza

I would respect the ICC’s judgments just like I respect the judgments of my local judge who has adjudicated some of my neighbours as being speeders, thieves, drunk drivers and so on. Here is the complete list of all 54 people indicted by the ICC since 2005. Perhaps you can tell us which ones were i...

Re: HPV and Cancer link

i believe this topic has been specific to the HPV vaccine, not about measles or other. i have no sense that anyone posting is sharply against the HPV vaccine, but see it as best decided on an individual basis. No one is deciding whether or not to take the HPV vaccine on an INDIVIDUAL basis. They ar...

Re: HPV and Cancer link

It is generally not the schools. Only Rhode Island, Virginia, and DC include the HPV vaccine in the list of required school vaccines. Can you explain to us how a school has any right at all to demand children be vaccinated for an STD? Last I checked, sexual activity isn’t supposed to be happening a...

Re: HPV and Cancer link

“Refusing to treat for a future illness is sin” - can you show me where the Bible teaches this? The HPV vaccine in particular really stretches this. I do not see where the Bible teaches “it’s a sin not to take a vaccine that makes you less likely to get a disease that overwhelmingly results from fo...

Re: HPV and Cancer link

P.3: you do you If-only .. If only .. These vaccines represent a great example of where “you do you” (without being hounded to the last breath) applies. Overall risk is low, for celibate children+individuals as described in this thread,, extremely low, choices should be respected. If only .. The wo...
