Maybe you responded to the wrong person. I am in no way suggesting it is better to not take the vaccine, or that there is good reason to think that the risks posed by COVID are less dire than those posed by the vaccines.

The title of the article is: France bears ‘overwhelming responsibilities’ over Rwanda genocide. overwhelming is defined as [1]: - 2a: to cover over completely : SUBMERGE - 2b: to overcome by superior force or numbers - 2c: to overpower in t

If you have a problem with France's actions, but don't have a problem with the whole of the west twiddling their thumbs while China is committing genocide, your opinion has no merit. https://neveragainrightnow.com/

by cheph 6y ago
Why should you be punished if you do something entirely legal? Can't we rather just close the legal avenues that allow people to avoid them? Why keep it legal? What do you gain by having these loopholes?

I guess you are being downvoted because you are saying that Libya was better off before Obama "saved" it. Seriously fuck him for his warmongering, he should be rotting in jail for what he did.

Remind me again why the fuck Obama rallied NATO to fuck that country up again and how Obama is still seen as the messiah to socialist and progressives after doing that?
