| Topic | Serious questions for Trump supporters |
| dancer62 08/16/20 11:49:35 AM #28 | PrincessTheresa posted... . Im voting Trump 2020! I didn't vote Trump the last time, voted independent and wasted my vote. I'll vote Trump this time. The Democrats are beyond hopeless, four months of pointless debate to produce a few dozen souvenir "impeachment signing" pens (in a ridiculous ceremony worthy of an "I Love Lucy" skit), then four more months of riots. It took a lot of extremely creative work for the Democrats to make a reality TV "star" the better choice, it would be a real shame to deny their efforts. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |

| dancer62 08/15/20 11:56:39 PM #21 | Does a rubber skin count as a "case"? If so and if I have pockets, then pocket and case, otherwise bra if I'm not carrying a purse. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |

| dancer62 08/07/20 7:03:35 AM #7 | Considering the useless and annoying autocomplete that mangles text messages, and the spell checkers that make ebooks unreadable, the odds on an actual functional translation program are less than zero. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |
| Topic | how badly has your life been affected by covid? |
| dancer62 08/07/20 6:40:23 AM #25 | 3/5. no in-person classes in university extension, so I'm out of work until Spring. I do car repair on the side, and that has picked up. Shopping is a pain, no going out to eat, swimming pools closed, golf courses limited. I'm far past ready for this to be over. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |
| Topic | In order to defeat the coronavirus we need to start having safety camps. |
| dancer62 08/05/20 8:06:26 AM #28 | GGuirao13 posted... Yes, if that's what it takes to segregate us sane, civilized people from the selfish lunatics who put themselves and everyone else at risk just because they don't want to follow a simple piece of protocol Huh? what simple piece of protocol? Read the research. Masks (real, fitted, filter masks; not cutesy cloth nose scarves) are at best, 3% effective. In March, CDC and WHO were recommending against masks for the general public. Now, for lack of anything more effective, masks are a political token. Social distance, maybe, but does little for airborne infection. Isolation? Sure, but you still need to buy food, maintain an income, take care of business. Sure, I wear a cute patterned nose scarf as a social gesture, maintain 6' distance, but I don't fool myself that it's actually meaningful. I stay away from crowds, and limit my shopping and social interaction, that's somewhat realistic. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |

| dancer62 08/04/20 6:19:55 PM #16 | It's a scary thought that someone might actually believe this. Ewww! The current nutball restrictions are bad enough. Let's get it over and get back to normal.

| dancer62 07/31/20 10:25:35 PM #79 | Entity13 posted... I have limited or no faith in a second stimulus coming within a reasonable amount of time.That seems wise.

| Topic | Would you be willing to take a covid 19 vaccine right after it comes out? |
| dancer62 07/27/20 6:09:55 PM #8 | Nope, never. 45 years of development of a flu vaccine, revised twice a year, and we have one that doesn't protect against the flu but might let you go back to work "up to a half-day sooner". Yippee! And carries a 2 in a million chance of crippling nerve damage. Rushed politically-motivated coronavirus vaccine?
