Our betters at the World Economic Forum et al. will praise you for your culinary foresight, Y ma'am! They want us to eat bugs...

Their double standards are pervasive (if not universal) and utterly shameless.

The sky is falling! Let's ban Band-Aids, or tax or fine their manufacturers out of business!

"Informed consent" is crucial in every circumstance. Medical ethics are on the brink. The AMA et al. are surrendering to fads rather than sticking to principle.

Absolutely so.

Don't these clowns have anything better to do?

Hotair.com comes up with the best stuff! Good find.

Bingo. The fallacy is like judging a Christmas present by its wrapping paper rather than what's inside.

This used to be one of my favorite stores; in fact, Mrs. T-B. & I would drive 12 miles to what was then the nearest one to us. However, they went straight to hell even before the lockdown. Almost nothing was 99.9999 cents any longer, shelves were bare, and the stores all looked trashed-out. Will miss my memory of them, but not "them now." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` 99 Cents stores to close down all 371 locations Shoppers across large swaths of the country are mourning the bargains they'll soon never bag again behind the bright-pink-branded storefronts. 99 Cents Only Stores — a discount chain with stores in California, Texas, Arizona and Nevada — is winding down its business operations at all 371 locations, the company said Thursday. After more than four decades in business, the chain has succumbed to financial pressures affecting many retail spaces coming out of the pandemic, including inflation and shrinkage — a term for inventory losses due to factors such as shoplifting, employee error and product damage.

What was the city or town environment -- small, safe, almost everyone knew everyone else?

The following (also for comment) seems to be an example of precisely this: ========== Arkansas mom arrested after 7-year-old son found walking 8 miles to school, reports say An Arkansas mother was arrested after allegedly telling deputies "it was not her problem" that her 7-year-old son had to walk nearly 8 miles in the pitch dark after missing the school bus. The 33-year-old woman was charged with second-degree domestic battery and first-degree endangering the welfare of a minor under 10 years old, according to Craighead County jail records. The boy was found near a farm shop around 8 a.m. on Tuesday by a responding Craighead County deputy, KAIT reported. The boy told the deputy that he would get in trouble if he did not go to school, so he decided to walk after missing the bus, the Jonesboro, Arkansas-based TV station said.

Why bother a superior species when mere humans can serve as the guinea pigs?

Sorry, Y ma'am. Ohhhhhh yes. Ohhhhhh yes. Gracias for posting that great article, Y ma'am.

The Babylon Bee is very often accurate, as we've observed! However, I'm betting that China will invade just before the U.S. election or inauguration.

To reduce the cicada population, let's introduce billions of Copperheads everywhere!

It is, because, once again, leftists fail to consider consequences.

1. I monopolize this forum too much already. 2. Expend some effort in finding "more" posts; nothing in life is free (= Chrysanthemum status). 3. Those seeking a benefit are in no position to make demands. English-only outside the regional forums! Reported!!!

I'd have immediately given the student a grade of F and firmly explained the reasoning to both him and Mom. Then, I'd give the kid a specially prepared, much more difficult test, to give him the chance to earn the lowest possible D-minus. Again, mishandled. By return e-mail (cc: principal), I'd have diplomatically but firmly told off the mother and encouraged her to write her specific complaints to the principal, cc: me. Parent-teacher relationships are to be cultivated, but when one or the other crosses the line, the line must be clarified -- firmly and early.

"Gee -- I'm going to get my 11,493 boosters of poisonous Chinese spike protein to protect myself even further!"

It used to be a sex-offender crime to, uh, erect around schoolchildren. Probably a Soros D.A. up there.

When people fear the government, it's tyranny. When the government fears the people, it's freedom.

Wear anything that's comfortable and reasonably presentable -- something in between yardwork and tuxedo.

This is almost exactly what happened (in Texas) when Mrs. T-B. & I married. We asked the Justice of the Peace if we could take the marriage license to the courthouse ourselves, and he agreed. We went straight to the courthouse and ordered 7 marriage certificates. The clerk was surprised at that number, but she prepared them while we waited. Six of the certificates ended up elsewhere (our respective mothers, banks, AOS, et al.). We were fortunate to have avoided the delays from delivery, mailing, etc.

Several posts and replies have been removed for needling and provoking the OP. There are more diplomatic ways of asking for clarification and additional information, especially when someone is under stress already. VJ Moderation

Yee-HAAAAA!
