“EVERYBODY HAS TO DIE.”
If its your god’s plan to unnecessarily murder innocent children, then your god can go fuck itself
“I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.” - Isaiah 45:7 King James Version (KJV)
That’s because if he acknowledges he was wrong he also has to acknowledge he let his daughter die through neglect.
Not so hard to understand really.
We can simultaneously acknowledge that this idiot let his daughter die and that he will pay the ultimate price for that stupidity every day for the rest of his life.
That kid sadly became a victim of her parents belief that opinions are better than facts.
Those who believe absurdities will commit atrocities.
-Voltaire
No shit. His choices are to either double down or admit to himself that he killed his daughter.
He is mentally ill. His child should have been taken away from him long before this happened.
Unfortunately, thanks to millions of people as mentally ill as he is, who inject the conservative propaganda machine directly into their brain stem, she may not have been much better off in foster care…
Ignorance is dangerous.
Another line of thought: this is severe negligence, leading to death. Throw this guy in jail for homicide.
This is why pseudoscience at all levels is dangerous to a modern society. Including “harmless” shit like astrology. It encourages magical thinking and the disregard of science in favor of belief in something that “feels right.”
Take that to its logical conclusion, and people die.
Astrology? Of all things, why point fingers at that? Give me one example on why it may lead to dangerous conclusions.
They already did.
It leads to magical thinking.
That’s a generalization, not an example. What does that even mean or tries to mean?
Astrology also was used by Ronald Reagan, president of the United States, to help decide important issues.
I think that’s good proof it’s fucking dangerous.
This is the way. “Food has stuff in it we don’t trust, so I stopped feeding her.”
These people do, sincerely, need to be incarcerated.
It’s not going to happen, though, under this or even under any administration under the current Democratic party.
under this or even under any administration under the current Democratic party.
Pardon? Which Democrats are you referring to with respect to the story at hand? What made you bring them up?
You’re kind of bad at this.
The current Democratic party, as opposed to the one from, say, the 80’s.
The current leadership of the Democratic party are, and have been for several years, not an effective foil to the far right; they’ve been failing. Since Reagan they’ve been letting Republican administrations stack courts, block progressive legislation, failing to block conservative legislation, and just been all-around failures.
Why are the courts stacked with conservative judges? Why do we have literal criminals sitting, unimpeached, on the Supreme Court? Why do we have a felon in the White House? Why did 10 Democrats just give Republicans the votes they needed to Push through a spending bill that cedes even more power to Trump? Why is the country riddled with Gerrymandered states ensuring Republican control even in states where they don’t hold a majority of votes? Why, in the past 4 elections where a Republican has won the Presidency, has only one won the popular vote? Why is no-one in Congress standing up for Palestine? Why is anti-vax so popular? Where. The fuck. Is. The Democratic leadership?
You’re kind of bad at this.
Oh! An ad hominem attack. That’s… unsurprising.
“UnDeR tHe DeMocRatS”
Oh yes, the Democrats. FAMOUSLY in charge of Texas. CURRENTLY in charge of the FDA and government.
How about we stay on topic.
MMR would still be required in schools if the Dems won. It’s one of the very few things they bother to do (though poorly). This kid could possibly still be alive.
To your point about Texas: California, the bastion of liberal ideals for decades, deregulated their power grid in 1996, when Democrats controlled the state Senate and the state Assembly. Fucking conservative bullshit. So don’t go picking and choosing your “it’s only the Republican’s fault” talking points.
I’m not one of those people who don’t think there’s any difference between the parties, but the Democrats are certainly only the lesser of two evils. The recent vote in which a full 10 Democrats voted for the stop-gap spending bill, which strengthens Trump’s dictatorial agenda; Biden’s stance on numerous issues, and Kamala’s refusal to distance herself on those issues; despite Biden showing up at Labor rallies, the utter lack of recognition - much less any action to combat - the increasing wealth disparity in the US; the constant repetition of Biden’s administration of how great the economy is while middle and lower class families struggle; the whole way the Biden/Harris 2024 campaign was handled, with the obvious back-stabbing of Biden (poorly handled, if nothing else); the Democratic party’s rejection of anyone left of, or more pro-working class, than Biden - including Sanders, AOC, or anyone that would be considered too “left” for the corporations that control the US government; all these things demonstrate that the Democratic party aren’t the party of the left anymore. They’re merely not outright fascist Nazis, but the party is still pro-Billionaire, pro-big-business.
When the Democrats have been in charge, where were the bills for Traveler’s Rights? Where were the bills strengthening civil liberties? Where were the bills working to reduce income disparity, to strengthen Unions - where was any of that? Republicans have certainly been effective at advancing their agenda - who’s been advancing the agenda of progressives? Who stood up against the invasion of Iraq? Anyone? Not Hillary, that’s for sure. Who shut down Guantanamo? It’s still there, and still running.
The Democratic party is weak, ineffectual, and seems more concerned with profiting from their own positions (thanks for that bit of ammunition, Pelosi) than doing anything for the working classes, or protecting immigrants, or minorities, or going any fucking thing to fight the far right. Or maybe they’re just incompetent. While Republicans have been stacking the courts, Democrats have been either incompetent, uncaring, bafflingly oblivious, or downright stupid, and I don’t know which is worse.
There are exceptions in the party, but that’s only because it’s been proven that it’s nearly impossible to get elected without belonging to one party or the other. But the Democratic party as a whole is little better than the lesser of two evils.
We’re already in an oligarchy, run by the wealthy and large corporations, and with a Russian asset as our president. What have the Democrats - our elected representatives - done to prevent this? I’ll take personal responsibility when we have direct representation, and I can bypass my representatives and vote directly on bills; until then, the representatives are answerable for the state of the country.
The Democratic party needs a leftist version of the Tea Party. Until then, they’re going to continue to concede and compromise us into a complete dictatorship.
The topic is measles. Would you like to comment on that?
I did. Four comments back in history.
To summarize:
X: These people that let their kids die from medical neglect need to be jailed
Me: Yes they do, but it isn’t going to happen under either the Pubes or the Dems
X: Oh, you’re one of those “both parties are the same” idjits
Me: No, Dems are the lesser of two evils, but they haven’t been “the good guys” in a long time. They’ve only been “the least bad”, and they’re getting less “least bad” over time.The Democratic party now is like the Republican party was in the 70’s. Give them 20 more years with the way they’ve been going, and they won’t be defending vaccines anymore, either.
This whole thread has everything to do with vaccines; context is important. The whole sequence of statements on the thread is significant to what’s said.
These idiots are so transparent.
It makes me think they’re bots, honestly.
It makes me want to write a bot that explains FPTP and damage reduction over and over, since that seems to be how I spend my time…
I wish they were all bots…
Why is this in all caps?
“We don’t like the vaccinations, what they have these days. We heard too much, and we saw too much.”
I want to know what he heard and saw about vaccines, and where he heard and saw it.
I think a lot of the issues in these extremely conservative communities is due to them being unable to rectify the contradictions between religious beliefs and the scientific method.
Probably has less to do with religion and more with not being able to distinguish between reputable and non reputable sources.
if it’s not from the church it’s not reputable, and they’re trained that way by the church from the moment they’re kids.
I live in a country where nobody goes to church (France) and we have the same crazy persons.
And I go to church and I’m fully onboard with science, including vaccinations. So it’s not church that’s the problem, but people being dumb, which neither faith nor atheism can fix.
This. This has nothing to do with them reading reputable and non reputable sources. The Mennonites are extremely obedient to whomever their local leaders are, up to and including uprooting and leaving if they decide another location just needs more people. Not using vaccines when a lot of these folks aren’t allowed to use the internet is not that much of a stretch.
Meh not just the church, this dude probably gets all his news and science info third hand from Facebook groups fed with disinformation by recycled content from Russian bots
Seriously, what exactly do you think “religious faith” is, if not strongly believing in something despite lack of evidence (i.e., exactly the antithesis of the Scientific Method)?
I’m just saying, there’s plenty of secular anti-vaxxers who just believe it because they saw it on Facebook and don’t understand that anyone can post whatever nonsense they want on there without repercussions.
At the start of 1900, people were ignorant but knew a doctor would help them; these people are ignorant AND stupid.
The kids don’t deserve to die, but the parents deserve to lose them.
Hopefully the rest of the family follows suit and just fucking dies. Morons.
The future needs to be letting idiots kill themselves or the fascists will continue to weaponize their stupidity
If he had gotten her the vaccine, what was she going to do? Die harder?
She was gonna turn into a gay frog, duh
She would have got woke gay autism
He should be forcibly sterilized
Retroactively, but he was.
“In measles we trust”
OKAY, BUT WHY ARE WE SCREAMING AT EACH OTHER?
I LOST MY HEARING AID CAN YOU HELP ME FIND IT?
DID YOU CHECK YOUR EARS ? YOUR BATTERY MAY JUST BE DEAD!!
Shackle their minds when they’re bent on the cross /
When ignorance reigns, life is lostYeeeeah what about that, Sucka!?
