BIOS Accessibility
BIOS Accessibility Hi Folks,I have a bit of an interesting question here. Do any of you know whether or not accessing the BIOS is something that we can do on Windows Ten using a screen reader. I haven't needed to do this yet, but I was just wondering if it is possible to do this using Narrator at least. I know that in past versions of Windows this wouldn't have been possible, but was not sure regarding Windows Ten. Any information about this would be great. Thanks.

Re: Can I seriously be serious?
Re: Can I seriously be serious? Nocturnus, I can't tell you how I needed to see that post you wrote. It looks like we have something in common here because my wife just went through surgery of her own. Her surgery was for something different than your wife's was so far as I am able to understand, but still she'll be recovering for about six weeks. She just had the surgery around a week ago and, thankfully, everything went well. It turned out that had she not had this done there could have been a much more serious condition she would have face sometime down the road as she had been dealing with ruptured ovarian cysts. During the surgery, it was discovered that there were a couple of these that contained old blood, and if those had ruptured and that blood had gotten into her bloodstream it would have been really bad for sure. Our daughter has been doing well with this, and has been helping out in whatever way she can, so that has also made things easier on my end as well. More than ever, I want to be back out on the road performing for folks and making money so as to provide for my family again, but it's a good thing I am not because with our daughter only being 12 years old there wouldn't be much she'd be able to do if the need were to come up. The anger I had felt with this whole COVID-19 craziness keeps surfacing as well. I had thought I'd dealt with it, but when I see much of our nation going into shutdown mode again it brings that all back up again. So, again, that post was much needed and I really appreciated reading it. I hope that your wife gets well soon, and thanks again for your post.

Re: something in computer industry i find pritty vorrying
Re: something in computer industry i find pritty vorrying I am with those of you who don't prefer the paper-thin laptops. My Computer Career, the school where I am going through to receive the training I need to get into IT, issues laptops to all of its students. They are entry-level laptops, but for entry-level machines they seem to do quite a job. I am running a Lenovo Thinkpad and all is going well with it so far. It has three USB ports, and there is a fourth port that I thought was a USB port. However, I found that it isn't, and I don't quite know what it is supposed to be used for. Anyhow, the laptop is thin, but not what you'd call paper-thin. One thing they taught us in one of our first classes, is that thinner and lighter is not essentially going to mean a better machine. For one thing, it is going to run hot much more quickly because of the confined space inside.Simter, out of curiosity, what is the brand of the laptop they're providing? Again, jus tcurious so that I can research it a bit more for myself.

Re: Discussion of the 2020 American Federal Election
Re: Discussion of the 2020 American Federal Election Wishes are funny things, Enes. They might seem perfectly harmless, but if you hold to them long enough they have a tendency to become reality at times. Never wish something negative on someone, especially if you wouldn't be willing to face that same thing you wish would come about for them. When a wish is expressed, it reveals how you feel toward something or someone, so to wish it is practically as effective as doing it yourself. You might not agree, and I can understand that, but this is just how it works. Let's say, for example, that you wish someone you didn't like would lose all of their financial assets--have absolutely nothing left. Sometime in the distant future it happens and you're content that they got what was coming to them, but then a bit later on in life you face a financial disaster that leaves you with nothing. I hear some here talk about Karma and this is why I wish no one any ill will at all. I don't agree with some of you here, and probably never will on many things, but I would never want any harm or trouble to come to anyone here. I take this approach for two reasons. The first is that I really do mean that--I truly do not desire for anything bad to happen to anyone here or anywhere else for that matter. the second reason is that I will not wish something on someone that I am not personally willing to accept for myself. Another example, I don't agree with Biden on much of anything, but I would not want to see anything bad happen to him either. He, like myself and everyone else, is a part of this enormous group of people known as the human race, and, as such, I respect him for that. Same goes for everyone else.

Re: Discussion of the 2020 American Federal Election
Re: Discussion of the 2020 American Federal Election I just looked up Jo Jorgensen for myself. I hadn't really heard all that much about her, and I think that primarily has to do with the fact that the media only really focuses on Republican vs Democrat. You very rarely get to hear what the Libertarian or other independent parties are doing, and that's unfortunate. Now, there are some things that she would do that I could easily agree with her on, but there are more areas in which we would disagree I think. Honestly, i really am not entirely sure. I'm going to see what else I can learn because she seems interesting.

Re: Discussion of the 2020 American Federal Election
Re: Discussion of the 2020 American Federal Election Also, let's not forget that during the onset of this virus, the democrats were wasting precious time with a baseless impeachment hearing when they too could have been helping to deal with the pandemic that many of them say that Trump downplayed. That fact has not gone unnoticed by many, including those who would normally vote for the democratic party.Both of you who answered my question from earlier, thanks for indulging my curiosity and for sharing your ideas. I have to say that a lot of what I saw in those posts would have been good measures to have taken. Again, just thought it would be interesting to see what ideas may have been out there.

Re: Discussion of the 2020 American Federal Election
Re: Discussion of the 2020 American Federal Election Yes, Trump could have done better with this. No, he didn't fail to act when his advisors warned him. Granted, he did not act as soon as he ought to have, but he did act. He could have done nothing and then imagine how many we might have lost here in America. Let's also not forget that when he did issue those travel bans to try and hold this thing back that many thought him racist for doing so. They accused him of Xenophobia and all that other stuff. Even if he had acted when people say he should have, he would have still been wrong because he is Trump. That's how his opponents would have spun it, and that's the story the media would have likely promoted. Now, I will ask the following out of curiosity. Those of you who say he did such an awful job, how would you have handled it if you were in his place? If you choose to answer that, also keep in mind that you are faced with a media that hates you, and many people who will say that you acted wrongly no matter what you do. Again, not wanting to cause any trouble. I am just wondering, and thought I'd pose that question for the heck of it.

Re: Discussion of the 2020 American Federal Election
Re: Discussion of the 2020 American Federal Election Yes, you had a right to be angry with me and I don't blame you. The truth is that I've hardly been out where I could have caused anyone any harm, and my stance was not out of hatred for anyone. Trump did not cause all of the suffering in this country. Many others played a part in this, so it isn't right to put all of it on him. However, one can think what they will. If I inadvertently caused someone to die form this disease, then it would be just as bad as if I inadvertently caused a car accident if I could see to drive or if I ran out in front of someone and they died as a result of trying to keep from hitting me. It would have been an accident, no hatred involved. What Enes expressed was open hatred, and that is where I draw the line, and that would be whether or not that person is a leftist radical, or anyone else for that matter. There are many people I dislike and I do hate their actions, but I would never seek to wish for their deaths. People who make wishes like that, while they certainly do have the right to think that way, had better be ready to reap the consequences of that kind of thinking as it tends to have a tendency to backfire. Now, I hope this happens to no one here or anywhere else. I know I've gotten some flack from people here, and I don't blame you for it because I will admit that some of it was justly deserved, but understand that I would never, no matter how much I disagree with anyone here, wish any harm to come to you. I know times are not easy, but do as you've asked of me, reign in on that anger. I've been doing it, and believe me, it works. Granted, things aren't any easier, but at least I can focus more on bettering my life and those around me rather than wishing for even more suffering, even if it should happen to someone that isn't in agreement with what I happen to think. I can't wait until this whole thing is over.

Re: Discussion of the 2020 American Federal Election
Re: Discussion of the 2020 American Federal Election 117,I can't believe your post. You see nothing wrong with wishing death upon someone. I am going to pose a question here, and please understand that I am not out to wish anything upon you or anyone else when I pose this question. How would you feel if someone wished death upon your mom or your dad, perhaps even a best friend of yours? You say that wishing this kind of thing is a hundred percent protected by freedom of speech, but that doesn't make it right. Whether or not harm comes to the person, the integrity of your heart would have been revealed either way. To wish death on someone is just as bad as to commit the killing yourself. So, I ask again. Since you're saying you have no problem with it, then what would you think if someone wished death upon one you love dearly and it actually did happen? I am sure you'd be absolutely devastated I am sure. Those who wish that our president might die from this thing, or any other cause, need to remember that he also has loved ones that would be crushed by that. I have to tell you, I've learned a great deal about people over these past four years, especially this last year. quite honestly, my desire is that many do not receive the types of things they have wished upon those they disagree with.

Re: Discussion of the 2020 American Federal Election
Re: Discussion of the 2020 American Federal Election Defender, if that's what you want to believe then good for you. I know what I did, and why I did it. I also know why I will do it again, and that is because I will be voting for a president that has something resembling a plan. I will also vote for him because I am sick of typical politicians. Now, if Biden should be elected and he ends up doing a fine job leading the country, then I'll be willing to admit I was wrong. Time will tell, and I am open to that possibility that I am mistaken.

Re: Discussion of the 2020 American Federal Election
Re: Discussion of the 2020 American Federal Election Why hold Trump accountable for things that he didn't do? He didn't assault woman, he is not a racist, and he is not a dictator. If he was, I personally would never have voted him in. Quite honestly, the only reason I voted him was that I saw he had something resembling a plan that actually would mean attempting to take care of Americans first and foremost--all well and good since he is the president of the United States and that should be his top priority. I will say also that I thought, in all honesty, that Trump as president was a bad joke at first and originally wanted nothing to do with him. One thing I do not like about him is the arrogance that he tends to display at times. Now, that having been said, I wonder what would happen if Biden was elected and he told some other world leader he was meeting with to "shut up" when he didn't agree with that leader. Or, what would happen if Biden started name-calling like he did with Trump, and as he has with our military when he called them bastards, and there is video on that? I'll not have someone as our president who would disrespect our military that way, especially in the position of Commander In Chief. Another thing with Biden that I saw in that debate is this. He said he doesn't support the Green New Deal, but his website clearly states the fact that he does support it. He also would not answer the first question in that debate, and that's got a lot of people, and I don't just mean Trump supporters, curious.

Re: Discussion of the 2020 American Federal Election
Re: Discussion of the 2020 American Federal Election I have to agree with the sentiment that neither side has it totally right in this thing. Regardless of who is our next president, we're in for an interesting upcoming four years I think. I only wonder, if Trump should win again will those that are against him be wiling to accept it knowing that it will only be for a temporary time? Will they go about living their lives as they ought to or will there be more riots and attacks against those who supported Trump again? I can't speak for all of those who support our president, but I will say that I personally will just accept what happened with the election and continue living my life as best I can. Do I want Biden as president? No, I don't, but I am not going to cause trouble for, or disrupt the lives of, anyone who supported him as that just doesn't help things at all. With that in mind, I hope that the next debate goes better than the first one did.

Re: Discussion of the 2020 American Federal Election
Re: Discussion of the 2020 American Federal Election Calling the president a clown was certainly inappropriate, as was telling him to shut up. Neither are appropriate to do in a debate setting like this, especially in front of the nation. However, calling the president a racist was completely out of line. I'd say the same thing if it had been the president who had done likewise. In fact, if he started throwing that label around, I'd very likely drop any support I have for him as well. You just don't do that in a situation like this, or any situation for that matter.

Re: Urgent advice needed!
Re: Urgent advice needed! I attended a mainstream school and, for the most part, had a wonderful experience. I was the only blind student in my school, but the other kids really worked with me the best they could and we had a good time. I worked with an Association for the Blind and was able to get all of the training that I needed to receive. Up until my junior year, I was getting all my books in braille, but from that point on there were some I was unable to get. My aid actually recorded as much of them for me as she could, which I never expected she would do. I agree that digital is much easier nowadays, but accessibility still has a long way to go, especially where math books are concerned. I hope things work out for you.

Re: is this worth it?
Re: is this worth it? Depending on what you want to do, it could be more than worth your while to get the certification. One thing I've learned in the IT training that I am working on completing now is that yes, companies do look at the degree. However, certifications are really what they are looking for, and the more of them you have the more types of opportunities that could open up for you. As far as certification exams go, I hope you wouldn't have to go through Pearson Vue. I am currently trying to work test for a few different certifications right now, and have been going around and around with them just to merely get access to an exam using a screen-reader. I am actually surprised that any major tech organization, or any organization at all for that matter, would go through Pearson for providing their certification tests because they are not even accredited, and have a C rating with the BBB. I have submitted accommodation requests to them, so we'll see what happens. However, unless I've missed my guess, my gut feeling tells me that they'll find something wrong with what I submitted.

Re: I have a computer, I have time, and I am smart! Where is the money!!
Re: I have a computer, I have time, and I am smart! Where is the money!! Making money online can be done, but there are a ton of scams out there unfortunately. Sure, there are online surveys and things like that, but you're not, in most cases, going to make a serious amount of money doing things like that. If you sign up for several things like that, then yes it would add up, but it will take a lot of time. For example, this year I was able to earn a few hundred dollars doing it, but that took me over half the year to accomplish. One thing that seems to work for people, and I haven't really done a great deal with it, is what is called affiliate marketing. if you look that up on Google there are tons of results that can provide all sorts of information about that. Almost every company out there has an affiliate program of some sort, and there are folks who have made a lot of money doing it. In the end, quite a lot of research needs to be done to help sort out honest opportunities from those which are not, but it can be done.

Re: Discussion of the 2020 American Federal Election
Re: Discussion of the 2020 American Federal Election I didn't see all of the debate, or whatever that was, last night because I had an online class I was attending. However, I have to say that, while I expected things would spiral out of control, i didn't think it would be that insane. I kind of have to laugh when thinking about it because at one point of the debate where I could listen to what was happening, I could get absolutely nothing out of it because you had the president and Joe Biden talking over each other, and then the moderator was trying to talk over them. If I had recorded it, I would have loved to take the recording and speed it up because that was, in all honesty, the closest thing I have ever heard that comes anywhere close to something resembling an episode of the Chipmunks. It is no secret that I am a supporter of our president, but, in some ways, I wasn't overly pleased with the way he handled things last night. That having been said, I can say that he wasn't the one calling his opponent a racist, a clown, and then telling him to shut up. You don't interrupt people in a debate, regardless of who you are, but you also don't call people names and tell them to shut up. The president did not do that, but Biden did and that is not good form either. In the end, I think we can all pretty much agree that it was a debate that really didn't get all that much accomplished. Very disappointing.

Re: Disability versus ability
Re: Disability versus ability I think whether or not blindness is a disability really depends on how you look at it. I mean, sure there are some things you simply cannot do if you are blind, but there are a great, many more that you still can. If one is willing to try at it, then yes a blind person could easily play a great, many mainstream games, though there are some that may not be possible. Yes, a blind person could easily start his?her own business and be very successful at it. I know that, legally speaking, blindness is considered a disability. However, for me personally, I don't look at it that way entirely. I see it as more of a major inconvenience at times rather than an outright disability, and that is because, other than some things we can't do, most of what folks do in life is very open for us as well. I have had many an interesting discussion with people about this topic in the past, and it's interesting to hear some of the various thoughts that some folks have on this.

Re: my computer giving me error messages upon startup Back in 2009, I bought an Acer laptop which I really liked at the time. A few years after that, I experienced something similar to your situation and merely thought that it might be a hard-drive issue at first. I took it in, and found that it was actually a lot worse. It turns out that the CPU was totally fried. When I asked about the cost of getting that replaced, I was basically told I might as well just get a new machine as it would have been cheaper when compared with the cost of the replacement for the CPU, hard-drive, and all of the actual cost of labor and everything.

Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories? Jade, I hear you loud and clear and totally agree with you. From the beginning of this thing with Pearson, I've made it clear that I would do whatever I could to help make things go smoothly. this is why I really want to do these tests from home as it would be the safest and healthiest way to go about this. they're not working with me, and I don't want to end up going into a literal testing center and just get more of a run-around because things aren't put together so that I can test there. I have tired to act in the best interests of everyone involved in this, and what have I gotten for it so far? Nothing, absolutely nothing accept a bunch of excuses. I will continue to do things in a way that tries to keep everyone safe, but they're going to have to work with me here or there will be problems. As it is, they're not even accredited with the BBB, so why Microsoft, CompTIA, or any other major company would go through Pearson for their testing is beyond me. However, there it is I guess. Yeah, there is certainly some tough work ahead, that's for sure, but I've always been told that there are times when if something isn't easy then it's worth doing in the end. should be interesting to see what happens.

Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories?
Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories? Jack, when I said that an employer not hiring someone because they wouldn't wear a mask, I was saying that in light of the fact that in doing this they might well have turned down one of the best employees that they could have had if that person had all of the required skills. Turning someone away when they have all the skills you require is not a bright move, virus or no virus, mask or no mask. I am also not surprised that as many people leave bathrooms without washing their hands as we see happening. Personally, i always remember to do this, and that's why I find it insulting to have to be reminded of that. However, I do get it that there are people out there who just don't seem to get this, and that was the case long before all of this stuff as you said in your post.I get that these companies are trying to do their best from a health and safety standpoint. That's why I want to take their tests from home. I am trying to do what is best for everyone, so it isn't my problem if they chose to beat around the bush when it comes to accessibility. i will play their game and wear the mask as I have said since I will do anything I can to make this work. I will, however, make it very clear to them, respectfully and professionally of course, that I am not pleased about it--not one bit. I didn't realize that so many folks had trouble with Pearson in terms of accessibility. I recently spoke with a lady who is also blind who went for some teaching certifications a while back, and she had a real time of it with them as well.

Yes, not going for a job due to being unwilling to wear a mask is dumb, and that's something that I've really been taking into consideration. However, it works the other way too. If an employer won't hire someone who has all the required skills for the job based on the fact that he/she refuses to wear a mask, then that's just as dumb as the first scenario.JayJay, I didn't throw the opportunity away, not at all. I started this path, and I fully intend to finish. Pearson is telling me that the software they use to run these tests is blocking the screen-reader due to something having to do withe drivers used to run it. I wanted to take, and still desire to take, the safest approach in doing this which is why I am trying to take these tests from home. If I have to mask up to go and get the test taken, then that's what I'll have to do. I completely disagree with the masks, and that's no secret here, but if that's what it takes I will do it under extreme protest. Yes, some of my issue with this is pride, and I'm more than willing to own up to it. One of the major reasons I am trying to make this career change is that I am not willing to perform on stage while wearing a mask. I never have done that, and I am not about to start that now. I had hoped to make this testing thing easier on everyone involved by just doing it from here at my home, but since they can't seem to understand that the screen-reader is an essential rather than a mere accommodation, then I'll go in, mask and all, and take it if that's what is necessary. Isee that this is the reality of it now, and, while I have absolute contempt for it, I'll do what needs to be done to succeed.Jade: I believe it was you who mentioned the issue of pride to me regarding my stance in all of this, and I wanted to thank you for calling me out on that because, to some extent, you were absolutely right and I can't deny that any longer now that I have looked back over everything.Nocturnus, I appreciate your post that you shared a little while ago about your position as a Christian. like you, I am also a follower of Jesus Christ, thought I have to admit I haven't been showing it here as of late. So, thanks for that post.The rest of you, thanks for your various perspectives on things. I agree with some of you, and others I don't fully agree with. It was never my intent to offend anyone here, so I am sorry if I did so as that was the farthest thing from what I wanted to accomplish. I don't know how things are going to pan out here with all of this, but I will do what I can to keep myself and others safe. Will I mask up every single time I want to go out? No, I won't. Will I do so when I absolutely have to? Yes, that I will do.

Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories?
Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories? Jade, your sympathy is not what I require at this point. I need solutions, not sympathy. As I've said, we're going to continue to disagree on this stuff, and I don't like it any more than you do. You have your way of going about life during this time, and if masking up is what you have to do then do it. If you feel you must follow the restrictions like a good storm-trooper and do exactly what is required in all of these restrictions, then that's what you have to do and I wouldn't stop you even if I could. I have my own way of dealing with things during this time, and i have to do what I have to do. I have said things here that have offended you, and I do apologize for it. However, others have done so as well, so it isn't just me that's the bad guy here, and you'd do well to remember that.Jack, all I will say on this mask thing is the following. If a company of any kind wishes me to wear a mask, and if they really feel that strongly about it, then they are going to have to provide it. If they do, then I will wear it even though I am against it. i will not personally invest, even a small amount, in something that I know does not work, and that's just common business sense. If others feel that it works for them, then that's cool. I am not convinced of it, so I will not invest anything in the things. Now, if it were to become a law that they must be worn, then, as stupid as it would be, I would obey that law. Until it does however, I will stay this course. Others have said that I may not like to wear a mask, but that' just the way it is. Well, I have my policies as well, and, thought some may not like them, that's just the way it is. Again, if that offends some, then I am sorry, but I am not just going to submit to something like this unless it becomes a law in which case I would do so.

Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories?
Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories? Jade, my actions are not going to get people killed, so let's stop that nonsense right now. I also do not appreciate the president of my country being blamed for everything that's happened here. Hell, I'm surprised you didn't just come out and blame him for having made the virus from the get-go. I mean, that would be like me blaming Justin Trudo for any problems that Canada may face, and we both know that wouldn't be right.As for being angry at the state of things. Hell yes, I am angry. I can't find work, I need work, and haven't been able to find it since this whole damned thing started. I am also a little more worked up now this is supposed to be one of the high points of the year for the gigs that I do. I need solutions, and I am not getting them. I am a results-driven person, and I am not getting the results that I need to have. I thought this career path I had chosen to try in IT would work out and the training is actually going very well. However, I can't go for any of the certifications at this time because Pearson, the company that provides the tests, basically runs their tests in a way that you can't even get into them with a screen-reader. They say it is because of the way their software is configured. Anyway, I've been going round and round with them over this for over a month now with, yet again, on results. So, I am working my ass off in the training, and, at this point, would have nothing more to show for it than having gotten straight A's in the coursework. I can't do the music now, and it looks like, as of this point, that my best choice of an alternate career is blocked as well. So, please excuse me if I am on edge here and getting to the point where I've had it with the way things are. The company said that I could just go to the testing center which I would do, but I am not wearing a damned mask just to take a test. Sorry, but that's just the way it is. I know that's their policy, but I have policies of my own as well. I don't know if anyone else here has tired for IT certifications, but if you have and you've had to go through Pearson then you probably would be aware of what I've had to put up with from them. Anyway, sorry for the long post. I'm going to go see about fixing up some hot apple cider. for those of you who may never had tried that, it is really good stuff.

Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories?
Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories? Jade, I looked at that article you posted, and there are good points there I will admit. that still doesn't change the truth that we have increased violence in places like New York City, Chicago, and other places, most of which happen to be democrat-run cities. what I desire to know is why this violence is allowed, yet we'll crack down on businesses that want to open at full capacity during this time. that is a major inconsistency, and that would be the case with or without the virus being in play here. And, I can see that it isn't just democrats failing to address this violence as well, so we won't even go down that path again with this. I think this is what's got folks like myself perplexed, and yes, even angry. Why are these riots permitted, and why is it suddenly acceptable for people to trash businesses, but somehow it is unacceptable for a business to want to reopen and operate as it is supposed to during this time. If one is accepted, then the other should be as well. i think if that question can be answered by our politicians, then we might see some fo the frustration go away, at least I'd hope it would.

Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories?
Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories? Ethan, I never once implied that history was some sort of god telling us what we ought to do. if I had meant to say that, then I would have done so in all clarity. History is a guide that we ought to be learning from, and yet we have a bunch of idiots out there who would pretend that they can somehow erase bits of it that offend them. I know history is not pleasant in many ways, but tearing down monuments and all that stuff is not going to change anything. If history tells us what we ought to try and what we should not try, then how is it that we keep repeating the same mistakes over, and over again?Jade: if you wish to teach me anything your going to have to can that attitude of yours. You know, if you wish to promote this political viewpoint, maybe a little restraint might go a long way in helping people actually take it seriously. Keep in mind that any attitude you've gotten from me is primarily reactive as I didn't seek to start anything here. i will look at that link you shared, and, regardless of the spirit in which it was given, I do appreciate it and thank you for sending that along.

Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories?
Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories? Jade, you'd do the same for communism or socialism--whatever you want to call it. I defend where I stand, and you defend your view. I've seen in history where it doesn't work, and that's not being dogmatic about anything. We have historical accounts that tell the story. If our so-called democratic party is so great and wonderful, then ho is that all they did these past four years is try to remove our president instead of actually trying to work within their communities to, I don't know, make things better and safer. It is no secret that democrat-run cities are where the violence and looting have mainly been taking place, and yet they seem perfectly fine with that. I would really like to beable to give these people the attention they want, but when I see what happens in these place that are being run by democrats then I have to wonder why I should when they're willing to allow so much destruction to take place in order to be heard. You say that we republicans are dogmatic, well the democrats, or whatever they are now, are just as dogmatic as you say we are. Both sides have their issues, but I will not side with those that will allow rioting and looting in order to get their point across.the problem I have with redistribution of wealth, and I've seen this in Vermont where I am originally from, is that money is taken from, in this case, cities and towns that are doing well and given to the ones that are doing poorly. that's all well and good, but when I see no further improvements in those towns that are given these funds, then I have to wonder if that's really the wisest thing to do. It also makes has made property taxes go way up in some towns which is actually causing people to move out of the state. We just had a school close down recently and it was due to the fact that, because of this wealth redistribution, things got so expensive in the town for people to keep living there and sending their children to school there. I also understand how these ideals have been severely perverted throughout history. the issue I have with going forward with communism is that you cannot give me an iron-clad guarantee that these mistakes wouldn't happen again. You have made some good points, an idiot. I just am not convinced that these mistakes wouldn't be repeated, and am not willing to risk my life or that of my family on something that we haven't seemed to learn from yet.

Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories?
Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories? And I'll answer again. Look at history, and you'll find your answers. One problem I have with it is this thing about the needs of the many outweighing the needs of the few. Taking from the rich to give to the pour, or as it is commonly called the redistribution of wealth. There is also all of the talk of the greater good, which I know full well translates to the greater good as far as the elite is concerned. There is no getting ahead in life because that would mean the so-called playing field would not be level. It's basic stuff like that where I have issues with this. I mean it sounds and looks good on paper, but it just doesn't work.

Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories?
Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories? Jade, look to history for your answers. You'll see what Marxism can cause if you do that. As for me owning up to things, I've already said that I am willing to do that when I know I am wrong. I apologized and went on to explain why I had responded the way I did. I will not apologize for standing up for myself when I know I've been personally attacked. However, I guess that's somehow wrong now. I will not apologize for defending myself, so get used to it. As I told him earlier, if you can't take the heat do not light the fire. One thing I can say about this COVID-19 business is that it has, in many ways, brought out the absolute worse in people, and I include myself in this. I normally am not this way, and I'd like to think that people normally aren't.

Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories?
Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories? 96, if you understand the ideals of Marx than you will get what folks like us stand against. We have history to tell us where that failed. We would also stand against that which folks like Hitler promoted, and still do try to push nowadays as well. I personally stand by America's constitution, and many things that the leftists would seek to bring about in this country are totally against that. Many of the types of restrictions placed upon us during this so-called pandemic are also against our constitution. Our governor here in Pennsylvania violated that in at least three different ways, and has been called to account for it. That's what happens when one goes on a power trip like that.

Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories?
Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories? 92,camlorn, I had no idea you had it that badly, and I am sorry for that. However, I responded to your earlier post the way I did because you personally attack me when you insinuated that I was failing my own daughter. that is something I take very personally, and you ought have known that this would be the case. I totally get that you need the government benefits, and yours is a situation which those were certainly meant to help out with, I get that. The benefits are, quite literally, the only income my family has right now because of this damned virus., so in some ways I get it. You can't expect though that someone is going to go from steady employment to no job at all and take it lightly. So, you'll pardon me if I am a little pissed off right now. We're also coming into a part of the year where I would have had a ton of shows, but thanks to paranoia I can't get that income. So, again, you understand why I am coming across the way I am. I don't blame anyone here, especially you, for it. however, I will not give up any more of my personal rights over this virus. I am sorry, but I've already sacrificed enough, and will go no further.Again,camlorn, I apologize for how I responded earlier. However, that's what you get wwhen you attack me personally and attempt to psycho-analyze me without considering that you might be crossing a line or two. I hope we understand each other now.

Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories?
Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories? Enes,Yes, Biden would have advisors, and yes he would listen to them. The question is would he even remember what they tell him. Based on what i have heard him say when he is speaking, I wouldn't trust him to be able to remember anything. Nothing he says makes any sense. i actually feel sorry for the guy. He shouldn't be running at all, and I can't believe this is the best the so-called democratic party has to offer up.ironcross32I may not voice it the same way as you do, but I am with you a hundred percent. If these socialists, or communists )I'll just call them what they really are), want to try their ideas out they can do it in their own country that they either start new from the ground up or one that they take over after they've left our country. Yeah, I get that universal income sounds good, and free healthcare might look good on paper, but when put into practice things like this just will not work and it doesn't matter how it is tried. What people fail to get is that if you have free healthcare, someone's still going to have to pay for it. In order to deal with this, I can already see what the leftists would do and that would be to raise taxes through the roof because that money is going to have to come from somewhere. Universal income for all might sound good, but that means that no matter how much or little you work you still are paid the same amount across the board. So much for the idea of promotions and increased productivity. that will just encourage the lazy to be lazy still, and the work to be even less productive since they won't get more for an increased amount of effort. And, let's not forget this Green New Deal they've been babbling on about. I can't wait to see how they'd explain where the money is going to come from for that bit of insanity. Oh yeah, it will come from even higher taxes, and I think we can take that to the bank. If these communists want to try this, then they can do it somewhere else, preferably on some other planet, or they can try it out on when they get a colony of people on the moon like they've been talking about. It doesn't matter to me where they try their crap out as long as it is off this planet or in some other country.

Did you have a job before all of this started? If you did have one and have lost it as a result of all of these restrictions, then I feel for you. if you currently are employed then don't speak into that which you do not understand. If you never had a job and were just living off the benefits from the government, then don't speak into this because you wouldn't know what it is like to have been employed for over twenty years only to loose that over some stupid virus.

Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories?
Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories? Jade, I never said you were guilty, never even implied it and wouldn't seek to do so. I know you're not setting criminals loose, and I never said you would advocate. I am talking about the ones who have gone on record as saying they are for that. Personally, I have nothing against you at all. I am also well aware of what fascism is, to the point that I understand that ANTIFA's tactics are those which they claim to stand against. Yes, Trump has lied, but then so didn't Obama, Clinton, Bush, Nixon, and many, many others. Our speaker of the house has lied countless times as well. We all have, so you've got to do better than "Trump lies". Since when is not wanting to cause panic a bad call? when people are in panic mode, they are not at their fullest potential when it comes to being productive, and that is a proven fact. When people panic, they don't tend to think as clearly. You say that my not liking his arrogance is a start. What more do you want? Do you think I should turn socialist and embrace that perverted way of life? Forget it. I know where the road goes as history teaches that. I may not agree with our president on every move he makes, but I will not let a bunch of radical leftists idiots get into office so they can tell me how I am going to live my life.Munawar, I think that things have gone to far when it comes to smoking personally. i am not a smoker by any means, but I will not even pretend I like the idea that people who wish to smoke are being pushed around like that. I could be a real idiot about that like some who wear the masks are towards those of us who won't wear them. However, I also see that rights of smokers are being trampled upon and I personally do not like that. Yes, smoking is harmful to the body, but that's also true for a lot of other things as well. I don't need someone to tell me to wash my hands, keep clean, and all that as I am capable of making those decisions for myself. I will not wear masks just because someone on a power trip, or someone who has an axe to grind thinks I should. If they feel that strongly about it, then they can buy me some masks because I will not invest in them when I know that they don't really work. that's my right, and every other human being has that right too. Are their consequences for making decisions for yourself? Sure, all the time, and that's just the way it is. So, again I'll say for everyone here. If you want to wear the things, then by all means do it. I will make no judgments against anyone who chooses to wear one as they have their reasons. However, I draw the line when one who wishes to wear one makes a judgment against me for not doing so. Even if masks were to become a law, i would still refuse to follow it. It is not our government's place to tell me how I am going to live my own life, and I'll hold to that position be the president Trump, Biden, or any other ruler on the planet.

Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories?
Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories? I'll defend Trump because of the level of hate I've seen against him. I've asked people to give me a reason for this hate, and all I get is that he is arrogant and how he has failed in the past as a businessman. i also get things like he was a womenizer, and a fascist. The left says they hate fascism, and yet they use those exact same tactics to get people to fall in line with their ideals. They say they will not tolerate those that would take advantage of women, yet they release known rapists from jail so that they can riot in the streets and find more targets to take advantage of. They talk of hate from Trump supporters, yet I've never heard such hate-fill garbage as that which comes out of the mouth of leftists lately. This is why I defend our president. He is far from perfect, and I do not like his arrogance. However, at least I can say with all honesty that I do not actually hate anyone who is a leftist. I would never seek to actually cause them harm or even to threaten them unlike some of their goons have done recently by going to the homes of the Senate majority leader and Senator Graham. I do hate their actions and their so-called political platform, but I do not hate any of them as people and wouldn't waste the energy required to do so. Woodward's book is compelling, but other than that it's another journalist looking for another five minutes of fame on election year. He made some good points to consider, but that's all he did. It would be interesting if he were to do an investigative book on Biden and his supporters.

Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories?
Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories? Munawar:The reason we aren't getting all of the cash assistance we need is because the left keeps wanting to put stuff into these stimulus packages that has no business being there. that's why we only get $1,200 checks and nothing more. Technically, each American ought to be getting something closer to $13,000, but until the House of Representatives gets with the program and stops trying to fund their own little projects, we're not going to see it. Our president is far from perfect, but we can't go blaming him for every single thing that has gone wrong here.Also, as I said, we're not all in this together. If we were, there would be more understanding and less division. If we were really all together in this, then we wouldn't be trying to tear each other apart when someone decides they don't wish to wear a mask, and snitching on people for that as if we were little children who just got pushed on the playground.

Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories?
Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories? Interesting book so far. I have to admit that "Rage" is an interesting read, and quite compelling as well. However, if this book was meant to persuade me to vote Biden then it has, and will, fail. At least trump has a solid platform to run on. All the left has is hate. their platform is basically "remove trump". Okay, after that, then what happens? As usual, the left has no idea. They've got lots of ideas, but it seems that not a one of them has any clue how to carry the things out. Take this Green New Deal. That thing, if it is ever past, will make it unaffordable to live here for a lot of people, and we think we've got it rough with COVID-19.Ethan, I did see the passage you referred to, and all I can say is that we ought to be thankful that Trump's decision to act wasn't delayed any further. He could have put that off for another few weeks, but he didn't. Could he have, and should he have, acted sooner? Yes, I personally believe so.Jade: thanks for the link that you shared.

Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories? Jade, I was able to find Woodward's book "Rage", and will give it a read. I will try to come at this from a researcher's perspective and keep his political affiliations out of it. I have major misgivings about this man as it just seems to me like he is just another Trump hater, and when all I've heard from those that stand against him is nothing more than hate then you can understand why I might see it that way at first. I attempted to look up the Woodward tapes you mentioned, but am having trouble finding them. I did find a bunch of other books that Woodward had written, but wasn't sure if that was part of what you mentioned or not. I tried to search on Google for the Woodward Tapes, but didn't find them.

Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories?
Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories? Yes Jade, I know about the stupid Woodard Tapes, and I know that he had, and all Woodward does is parrot the radical left. I will look him up for my own research, but so far as I've been able to tell, he is just another robot for the left, and I have had my fill of it. If I can find a download of it, I'll get it that way because I will not financially support this person until I have, in my hands, proof positive that he is coming at this with something other than another hate-filled opinion.

Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories?
Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories? 48Sorry about this, just trying to get caught up on posts. Jack: those are all very good suggestions. Honestly, I had not considered them because I did not know anything about them. I thought about doing live streams using Patreon is something that I had heard about, but if that's something that requires video then that will not work because we don't currently have folks who can come in to provide regular visual assistance in that way.. I have been trying to figure out ways to make this work, but so long as folks want video to be included I can't because we just don't have a way to make that work. Getting paid is another thing that is of great concern. Yeah, I use PayPal, but lots of folks who might pay to support what I am doing may not desire to use that as there are still lots of folks who just don't trust online payments like that. I even thought about streaming playthroughs of games, not just audio games either, but a little of everything. Problem is, that too requires video and, as previously mentioned, I have no way to do that. I could try it, but I can't say for certain how well it would work. Could be interesting though. Thanks for suggestion those ideas. I'll look into them and see what I can find out. i appreciate it.

Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories?
Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories? Some of the measures you mentioned were not put in place due to the advice the president was getting from the experts that were working with him. Honestly, even if he had, his opposition would have still had issues with him over it. Either way, I am done with this nonsense, and am tired of my life being put on hold over a stupid virus. I keep saying that if it wasn't COVID-19, then it would be something else. This is no reason to shut down a nation, or even most of the world. As I've said before as well, i am done with being told "we're all in this together". I can't say that to another person who has lost someone do to this virus because I haven't suffered that same loss. Until someone who tells me that we're all in this together has lost their method of earning income, and been out of work for almost the entire year, then they have no business feeding me that line. We're all going through this, but we're not all in the same set of circumstances here. If we're truly all in this together and everyone's needs are as important as any other person's, then let's have $30,000 to pay off my mortgage. Let's have a few thousand dollars to help pay off the student loan that I now am unable to pay off because of this stupidity.I mean, if we're all going to be in this together, then that's how to do it. However, that isn't going to happen, and I don't expect it to. All I know is that I had a good career going, and had invested my life in it. I would like to get back to it, and have had enough of not being able to do so just because some people are scared of getting sick.

Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories?
Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories? 45: Id you have a job before all of this? I am not trying to disrespect any of what you said--I really do feel for you and the situation you're in. However, I am just curious if you or your wife were employed before any of this. if so, then you understand. If not, then I have to say that it is easy to say we're all in this together when you really didn't lose anything. As a professional musician, I really took a hit because of this. I had a really good year planned out, and it would have enabled me to get out of the little bit of student loan I had left. Save for the mortgage, I would have been debt-free at the end of this year or soon after. However, thanks to this putting everything on hold because of a virus, that isn't going to be. We're all going through the same storm, but we're not all in the same boat here--not by a long shot.this next bit is in response to 43's post. Yes, many of us on here did not have employment before this and didn't go out all that much. there are, however, those of us who did have both of these thing--that is to say we were gainfully employed and did get out a lot. I am one of those, and I am tired of my life being put on hold over fear of a virus that one may or may not ever get. Yes, it isn't all about me, but, as I said above, this is not about us as a whole either. We all have individual needs that have got to be met, and those needs can't be met easily under these circumstances. I am tired of it, and am getting increasingly tired of hearing "we're all in this together". Again, that's easy to say when you didn't lose anything to begin with. Please understand that I didn't intend to come across as harshly as this might have sounded. I am just tired of all of it, and have, quite simply, come to the point where enough is enough If I wanted to be put in prison, I'd have gone an done something worthy of that. i didn't and yet 2020 has been the equivalent of house arrest.

Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories?
Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories? For those of you who think that this wouldn't likely stretch on for years at a time, let me bring up a point you may have overlooked. At first, it was just a few weeks. Then, it became a few months, and now we're going on over half a year of this shit. Things that are supposed to be taking place in 2021 are already being canceled, so there is good reason to start asking questions here.Jade, you say that folks like myself and Ironcross are in need of "help" as you put it. Is it suddenly a crime to be angry and frustrated that our lives have basically been ruined because of this nonsense? Is it somehow perfectly acceptable to not have a livelihood due to this. No, we're not the ones in need of help, unless that help comes in the form of funding to help us get back on our feet once this shit is over with. I've been totally out of work now since the beginning of the year, and I am sick and tired of it. What I demand to know is why is it suddenly wrong for business owners to open things back up and it is perfectly acceptable for people to riot and loot in our streets? No one says a thing about those people: not the media, and not the lawmakers for the most part. Yet, when a business owner wants to open back up and get back to work, he/she gets threatened to have their license revoked or hit with a fine that would likely put them out of business altogether. As I've said before, it doesn't add up. You don't bring everything to a stop over a virus.We've had worse cases before, and this never happened. So, this is about something way bigger than some stupid virus. If you are working, then I do hope it continues to go well and that you don't face what we're having to deal with. For those who have jobs right now, be thankful you've got them regardless of how much you might dislike them at times.

Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories?
Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories? Jade, I can't believe you're reduced to "don't make me do what I did before". Go and look up what the CDC has recently been saying aobut this virus. They've come out and stated now that the guidance they've posted in terms of dealing with the spread of this thing was posted in error. This means that this virus was never air-borne to begin with. That also puts an end to the wearing of masks, even though I know people will still continue to do so because of the fear they've had fed to them since this crap began. None of this surprises me in the least because that's the position I've held on to since the start of this mess. I won't judge you for wanting to continue to go around wearing your mask, but you'd better remember that this kind of respect works both ways. So, no you will not be putting me in my place, not that you succeeded in doing anything of the sort before. I merely stopped posting on that other thread because I thought it pointless to continue doing so. The truth of this is out there, so whether or not you accept that is yours to deal with. I am not going to argue this thing with you again, and if you're as wise as I believe you to be then you'll understand that it would be pointless to do so. I've said this a hundred times it seems, but I'll do so one last time. If you want to continue to wear your mask, then go right ahead--I can respect your reasons whatever those might be. However, you need to remember that this works both ways. There will be many who decide to not wear them any longer now that this information is out there. Let's just leave it at that. I know where I stand and it is based on factual information that does have science to back it up. You are going to stand by your view, and I will respect that. Either way, we need to get back to living life again and doing what we should have been doing all along. Families need to be provided for, bills need to be paid, businesses need to function, and all that. We're not going to do that if we remain in a state of panic and fear like we have been these past several months. Yes, there are some crazy theories out there, but one thing that is in no way a theory is that we've got a major mess on our hands as a result of all of this and that needs to come to an end.

Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories?
Re: What do you think about the Corona virus conspiracy theories? Conspiracy theories or no, we've got to get back to living our lives. Yes, I know people will say that we've never had any kind of virus like this in history. Well, past generations of humans have said just those words and the world wasn't brought to a halt during those times. This, like so many that have plagued mankind before, is a virus, and that virus is going to do what it's going to do regardless of whether we choose to go on with our lives or not. There will other viruses in our future as well. I think my daughter, accidentally, put it into perspective. She had meant to say that she would keep the mask she as given for historical purposes, but what she actually said was that she would hang on to it for hysterical purposes. I'd say that she has that just about right due to how over-hyped this thing has been. Yes, I know some here will totally disagree with this and that's fine--I totally understand. It will be interesting sometime down the road to see how this one is written down in the history books, assuming that today's cancel culture doesn't see fit to just pretend it never happened.

Re: Internet Archive sued by the publishers.
Re: Internet Archive sued by the publishers. I could be wrong, but I don't think that this case is going to hold up in court when all is said and done because, as was previously said here, there is no proof they were doing anything illegal. I also do agree that it is actions like this that causes people to go and download things illegally in the first place. This same thing hold true for the music industry. The artists get a very low percentage of the profits on the albums that they sell because the bulk of those profits go to the record labels. That's why artists have to tour for most of the year. If they didn't they wouldn't be able to go very far on the profits they actually get from sales. Also, the internet archive has never sold anything that they offer. If they were doing that, then I'd have to say that there would be a very strong case. However, since they are not then they can't be nailed for that.

Unfortunately, in today's climate, there is almost nothing you can mention any longer that won't soon turn into a political war. I know that starting one was certainly not what you had intended, but unfortunately there it is. I used to love talking about politics back in the days when disagreeing with someone wasn't considered racism, bigotry, or a hate crime. Now, if you disagree with a certain view you might find yourself banned from certain social media platforms or forums, you could be branded as a racist or something else along those lines, or you could, quite literally, lose friends and family over it. Almost everything nowadays is politicized and that's got to stop, now. Again, thanks for your original post with the article.

Re: comparing screen readers on Windows 10touch devices, your experiences?
Re: comparing screen readers on Windows 10touch devices, your experiences? I am currently in the middle of training to get into the IT industry, and the school i am going through provided the students with Windows Ten Lenovo Laptops. I have been using NVDA and, while I can't say anything as far as touchscreen functionality is concerned because my machine doesn't have that feature, I can say that I have absolutely no problems when it comes to using the mouse or the touch pad. There are quite a few more gestures that work with the touch pad now, many of which I've not yet tried, but I've used some of them and it has been quite a good experience. I haven't messed with narrator as much as I'd like, but am looking to do so in the near future. I can agree with others here who would say that Narrator has come a long way from what it once was.

Re: Sad to read this
Re: Sad to read this 25: I agree with your post entirely. There are plenty of bad cops out there, but the majority of the police officers wouldn't do anything like this. We cannot uproot what is left of honest to goodness authority just to make an organization like BLM, an organization that isn't even headed or funded by black people I might add, fee good or well treated. The interesting thing too is that the majority of folks protesting, or rather looting and rioting, are not even black to begin with. Also interesting is the fact that you could go out on a job platform like Craig's List and you'll find opportunities to get paid to do just what these looters and rioters are doing. Was what that cop did to that child wrong? Yes, it most certainly was. I am not sure whether or not the mother actually explained on the phone the nature of what was actually happening. If she mentioned that her child was autistic then she did everything right. However, if all she said was that she was dealing with an out of control child, then how could that officer have known that the child might not have pulled out a knife or something? Again, the whole situation is horrible, and I hope we don't see anything like that again. However, if we allow politicians to do away with law enforcement just to push a political agenda, then, as bad as it is right now, it will get a whole hell of a lot worse.

Re: This site is draining me so I'm leaving.
Re: This site is draining me so I'm leaving. If one desires to leave the forum, then there need not be a thread devoted to saying so. It serves no purpose other then to draw attention to oneself. However, I also understand that this is what some folks want, attention. If you really want to leave, then, as others have said here, just do it. Bringing up the drama that made you decide to do so is not going to help because the ones causing it will continue to do so whether you're still here or not. The only other course of action is to just ignore threads where you know you're likely to find the sort of drama you dislike. Believe me, it's very easy to do, and I've grown quite accustomed to doing so as of late. It is because of drama, and I'm not saying that these kinds of things are always the cause of it, that if I created a similar forum there would be no threads concerning politics, KOVID-19, or any of that. It would be devoted to games, and other tech-related stuff. Some off-topic things would, of course, be permitted, but things that could easily cause trouble such as those I just mentioned would be strictly forbidden just to avoid the drama that would come with it. If I knew how to start a forum like that, I would gladly do it. However, I have no idea how to go about it. Likely, someone would still find some way to cause unnecessary drama even without the topics I mentioned being allowed, so you can't really totally escape this.

Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end? Jade, no insults were intended, and the fact that you viewed them as such just show me how little you are engaged in reality right now. Take that as an insult if you want, but it also wasn't meant as such. Believe you me, if I wanted to insult people, even passively speaking, you wouldn't have to make yourself think it. The reason I brough all that stuff up is it is the reality of it all. You can choose to deny it if you want, but it changes nothing. The way you go along with every little regulation makes me think you're a good little left-winger too, so that accusation is right back at you. Of course I am not extreme right, and only an extreme leftist could make that accusation of me and believe it. Now, before you go off and get all wound up again, understand that I really do not think you are an extreme leftist. It's just that your accusations are exactly what one of them would say, and that's why I make that observation. As for having a sound argument against the left, they are the ones telling rioters to go and burn things, and go and loot. They're not stopping it, and it is the leftist mayors who primarily want to president to do nothing about it. It is the leftists who are promoting this damn cancel culture where they seek to erase parts of history they don't like. Oh, we now can say for sure it has nothing to do with any of this racism garbage because they wouldn't have gone after a statue of Frederick Douglas if that was the case. It is the left who are primarily pushing all of these shutdowns, and diverting funding in these stimulus packages to all kinds of other special interests rather than to the American people. It is the leftists who primarily like to throw out the whole Americans With Disabilities Act whenever it suits a particular need of theirs. It is the leftists who, earlier today, went after our Attorney General since they can't get anything to stick against the president. they displayed behavior that even a preschooler would not better than to display, interrupting any chance they could, and always asking to reclaim their time to make a point. Funny thing is whenever someone that stands against them does that, they are shoved back and told their time is up, so that's true leftist democrats for you in a nutshell. Also, let's not forget that these rioters and protesters have gotten away several times without being masked or practicing so-called social distancing, and the leftists who support what they are doing have said nothing about it. And, it is the leftists who primarily support the communism practiced in places like China and who would love to put America under that same system. So, there you are. As for backup that you seek, why the hell should I bother to provide it when all you'll do is dismiss it? I've been down this road before, and guess what, it involved members of the blind community. Odds are that even if I did tell you wear I found out about the study, you'd dismiss it as some conspiracy theory again. So, I am afraid you're going to need to "use the search feature" meaning your search engine of choice and go fetch. Do the research for yourself, and look at sources that you might not normally accept just to get all sides of things. Either that, or just continue to take whatever governments hand down to you, and stop bitching about how miserable you are having to follow the regulations. As far as I am concerned, this conversation, or lack thereof, is finished. Go and be a pawn if you like. I don't care any more. I've tried to reason with you, I've tried to provide evidence of things, and it's never enough for you. So, you want it, then go get it yourself. Have fun. I'll see you on other forums where more common sense seems to prevail. At least in gaming, we aren't at each other's throats. As far as this COVID-19 bullshit is concerned, do what you need to do and I hope it works out for you. I see this topic is primarily here to fit one side of this narrative, so I will take the hint and have nothing further to do with it. Good riddence to a perfectly good waste of time because that's about all this thread is, a waste of time and a waste of space.

Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end? To Jade, enes, and everyone else who is playing the part of the submissive. Your recent reactions to my posts have, quite literally, been about as predictable as a poorly written novel. You've been given evidence which you have completely dismissed, you mock those who don't agree with you and try to completely discredit them, and you're perfectly content with what you perceive as some sort of new normal. Wonderful for you, but don't expect everyone else to play the enabler so that this abuse by the powers that be can continue on. Again, it is my hope that I, and others of like mind, are completely wrong about all of this, I really hope that is the case. However, looking back over how all of this has played out shows that there is way more to it than this merely being a so-called freak accident. There are just too many different things that don't add up with the main narrative that is being pushed, and there are too many things that are adding up in terms of timing. Now, if this turns out to be correct, then my guess is that you'll get your evidence in due time, but the question at that point will be whether or not you'll be able to do anything about it. Honestly, I just don't know one way or the other at this point. Regardless, I don't think it will be much longer before we learn one way or the other.

It seems that a study linking 5G radiation with the coronavirus has just been removed from their website. Interestingly enough, it had just recently been exposed to the public, and now if you go to their website you won't find the information there any longer. And, in the middle of all of this, the UN has the balls to try telling our president what he can do with his troops by demanding he removes them from Portland. No, there's way to much going on here for this to be a freak anything. America, and the entire world for that matter, you'd better get it in gear and realize what's going on.

Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end? Jade, I might not have broken down the points you made like you've been prone to do with mine, and you've also decided not to break down points that I've made in the past. What good does it do to address your points anyway? I mean, all it gets me is nothing more than an "I'm totally correct and you have no idea what you're talking about" type of response. I did in fact address some of your points, so I would suggest that you're not reading very carefully because you might just be letting your anger get in the way. I know about this because I've done that myself many times. You don't agree with the idea that there is something more behind this, and I understand that as I personally would love nothing more than to not believe that myself. However, history is littered with things that have happened like that where things that seemed like freak occurrences turned out not to be. What makes this any different than any of those? It is not impossible that someone deliberately released this virus. for one thing, as I pointed out earlier, we know that the lab in China where this was being worked on did have some safety issues, and there is photographic evidence out there that show this. China, along with the World Health Organization, also, and quite conveniently, covered that information up while this thing began spreading. Another thing to consider as well is the fact that right at the time this was released there was what looked to be an uprising there. I mentioned that before I think. So, I'm having a really hard time believing that this wasn't deliberate. Add to that the recent craziness with these unsolicited packages of seed showing up at people's addresses here in the U.S., when they didn't even order them and their kind is unknown, makes me feel even more strongly about this. What was even more interesting about these packages is that many, if not all of them, were packaged as if they were jewelry, and from what I remember reading about it the packaging even indicated that. I think we'd better start seriously looking into the fact that this whole damn thing has been a deliberate act from the start, and I think we'd better stop jumping at every shadow, ratting out folks who don't want to wear a mask, and, quite plainly, stop fighting with each other over this because while we're doing that, whatever the next step of this thing will be is going to be coming our way and we're not going to be ready for it. However, go ahead and dismiss this if you want. Until I know for absolute certain that this was not deliberate I'm going to treat it as though it is. Hell, even the crap we've all been put through with the wearing of masks, the isolation, the deprivation we've all been through, the threats of having our children taken from us if we test positive, and all that are based on a method of torture that was widely used by the Chinese. Look up Albert Biderman, and you'll find he had a lot to say about stuff like this. Once you do that, then think about how it fits in with what's been going on today. You're going to find out that those of us who choose to stand against all these regulations are not as crazy as you'd like to think. If after you've done the research for yourself you still feel the same way, then all I can say is that you are one who has been affected by something far more insidious than this virus that has you so worked up.

Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end? There was evidence that showed issues at that Chinese lab, issues that were deliberately covered up by the World Health organization and the Chinese government at that time. Add to this something even more interesting that has been happening over the last few days, maybe somewhat longer. It seems that folks here in the united States have been receiving unsolicited packages containing seeds, and these unsolicited packates are verified to have come from China. I don't know what is up with that, but we have a virus that started there, and now this recent development. People had better wake up and realize that there is way more going on here than just some stupid virus. Yes, the virus is real. Yes, it has affected, and will affect, people in various ways, I never said it wouldn't and that it didn't. However, we're really headed for trouble here, and this infighting, brought about by the narrative of the media, the lawmakers, and some of these experts is only helping, and has only helped, to add more fuel on to that fire. One thing is for sure, this is certainly a very historical time in our world's history. The funny thing is that while it feels like something that we've never seen before, I can't help but feel that this is all somehow very familiar in some strange sort of way.

Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end? No Jade, I am not part of problem because I am not part of a group of people who seeks to force people to do things against their will and basing it on things that make absolutely no sense. We're wearing masks in nursing homes and yet people are still getting sick. We're wearing them in casinos and other places like that, and yet we're still seeing cases rise. We're wearing them in stores, restaurants, and such, and guess what, the cases are still rising. Either the masks do not work, or the numbers are being deliberately fudged, and someone had better come clean about which it is. I have heard of many instances where the test have proven to be unreliable, I've heard of many instances of people being told they had COVID-19 when they weren't even actually tested for it, and I've heard of many instances where people have died of something other than COVID-19 and yet it was written down as a COVID-19 death when it was a known fact that this disease is not what killed them.. It is no secret that medical facilities, at least here in the United States, are getting paid thousands of dollars each time they report a death like this when COVID-19 had nothing to do with it. So, I ask again. How am I part of the problem when I'm not one of those who is deliberately spreading false information to get people to be more afraid of living their lives to the fullest, and I am not out there forcing people to do things against their will? Sounds like we've got some major backwards thinking here. This reply should be interesting, and I can't wait to see if it is what I suspect it will be.

Re: Is this really what sighted people think of us?
Re: Is this really what sighted people think of us? What amazes me about folks who are totally sighted is that, while the feedback is so great that they receive from vision, they still miss so much that is right there in front of them. I have lost count of how many times I've encountered that, and I think it's just because sight is so heavily relied upon that, at times, the other senses tend to be taken for granted. They'll say things like, "O don't know how I would ever be able to do what you do if I were to lose my sight",. On one level I understand it, but on another I see the other four senses that they are taking for granted and I find myself hoping that they will never have to find out what it is like. With an "I can't do it" attitude, they'd never be able to make it if they lost their sight. I have also met up with several sighted folks who are sincerely and honestly interested in learning how we do things, and by that I mean every day things like use of technology, gaming, household tasks, and other sorts of important things. It is those folks I love talking with about this because they are demonstrating a true interest in finding out and learning something new. Thankfully, most of my conversations with sighted folks have been very productive.

Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end? Nolan, my post was not based upon a flawed mask. However, I'd say your response to it was based upon the fact that you would sure love to think it was. Believe it or not, I actually did come at that experiment with an open mind, and all I did was tell you what I noticed about the mask I wore, and wanted to make it clear that this is something to be aware of. Stop making something of it that was never there to begin with. You weren't here when I conducted this experiment, so you have no place to discredit what I did, why I did it, and what I found. I hope your girlfriend remains safe, and that you do likewise.

Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end? ignatriay, you hit it right on the head in your recent post. Jade, and others who view things the way Jade does, will not acknowledge that as it would mean that they'd have to admit they've been lied to and that they've been wrong this whole time, but there is a lot of truth with what you expressed. This was deliberately started. China, right along with the World Health Organization, deliberately withheld information about this, and yet many out there refuse to ask the question of why because they are too distracted by what the latest scoop is from the media. Also, you'll notice how Jade twisted your points just as was the case with mine. For example, when you mentioned the George Floyd thing, you never even insinuated that the media said everything was fine at that time. Yet, Jade put that thought in there because of the desire to discredit you just like what has been attempted with me. Not once was the idea even addressed that they, along with the lawmakers and experts, said nothing about the fact that these rioters were standing shoulder to shoulder in the streets, thus not practicing physical distancing. Not once was it mentioned by Jade that these people were not held accountable for being unmasked or not wearing them properly. I understand being afraid of getting sick, as that is something we face all the time, even without COVID-19, but to live in fear like we're made to think we should is utter foolishness. I will agree one hundred percent that we should be watchful for anything that doesn't seem to be adding up with this COVID-19 narrative that's so popular. I also wouldn't even bother trying to show people like Jade any proof because they won't accept it. Believe me, I've tried and all that happens is it gets completely dismissed. They will get their proof one way or another. I just hope it isn't too late when they finally acknowledge it. I want to be wrong about this whole thing being deliberate, but I have seen no solid evidence to make me change my view there. Another shutdown would just further prove that point. Now, that isn't to say that Jade has not made some valid points. Under normal circumstances, I would actually agree with them. However, these are not normal circumstances, and we need to remember that.

Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end? jade, that mask I tried was on securely, and was not flopping around at all. No, I didn't do this just to try and find data that would prove a point either. that was not actually my goal. Rather, I was merely attempting to really get an idea of how it would be after using it for a longer time than just a few minutes. I will agree that not all masks are the same, that's a given. However, when you have any kind of opening present, such as what I saw on the one I tried, you're not going to block out anything when it comes to viruses. that having been said, I would be willing to try some different ones if I can get hold of them, but will not invest in the endeavor myself financially because I don't see that it will be of any personal benefit at this point.derekedit: I totally agree with the thoughts you recently posted. If we do another shutdown, the only thing we're going to accomplish is more people out of work and more of a negative impact on the economy since those businesses that fuel it won't be there any more. And, just as you said, when the time comes to open things back up, there will likely be another spike, so nothing will have been accomplished at all accept to make matters even worse. If that is a cycle that we continue to go down, then there will be many, many more deaths than this virus would ever have any hope of causing. If there is another nationwide shutdown, it's going to be really interesting to see how people will react. If they see the cycle for what it is, then I'd hope that they'd just tell those who ordered the shutdown to go and hide under their beds if they're so scared. However, it is my hope that another shutdown will not happen, and the whole situation would just be avoided. Who knows at this point.

Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end? Jade, I actually did just get back from almost a half and hour stroll while wearing one of these masks I'll honestly admit I had not tried it before, so I figured I would do it just to see how well it worked. I noticed one big problem with these things. Yes, your mouth and nose are covered. However, there are two very prominent openings where droplets from this thing could very easily get through. Those openings are right under where your eyes would be. Droplets could more than easily get right down there, and right into your nose and mouth. So, based on personal research involving the mask, I can see absolutely no benefit in them whatsoever. I even double-checked at least two or three times to make sure I was wearing it properly, and I was. As I said, those openings right below your eyes are easy access for a virus like this, so you can't make me believe, based on my own research, that this is of any value to anyone accept to provide a lot o annoyance and discomfort. It turns out I was able to do this because my wife had a mask that she was given and hadn't used, so I thought I'd take it for a spin, as the old saying goes. So, if provided, I'll wear it, under great protest, because I know they can't possibly be expected to work based on what I now know. I refuse to buy them because, again based on what I have found, I will not invest in something I know won't work. So, in recap, I still completely, and utterly, against the masks, but at least this time it is based on what I can say from having worked with it a little and have noticed by looking it what it covers and what is still exposed. This is why we have everyone masked up in nursing homes and yet people there are still coming down with it. This is why more businesses have been laying off people even though the masks are being used as a part of their policy. Will what I have posted here make a difference? No, probably not, but I thought I'd at least post something regarding what I found. Again, not trying to further any sort of argument here. I just am trying to present my conclusions that are now based on what I know from having tried to work with one of the masks.As for the career, your correct, it could come back. The only question is when, and that is something I cannot afford to wait on while fear sweeps across my country and our world. Hopefully, this new career venture in IT will work out. How knows, it might be that this goes way better, financially speaking, than the music career did. I am glad yours wasn't really affected by this. Hopefully, it will remain that way.

Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end? Jade, I simply do not go out and wander about like a fool just to make a point of standing against some regulations I don't agree with. The extent of my going out at all now is to go for a walk, go to get the mail, and go to get groceries when I need to. If I wanted to wander around without a mask just to rebel against something, I'd join the ranks along with these looters and rioters since they seem to get away with it. But, that's a different thing completely.I am just extremely frustrated, not please with having to go even further into debt to train for a new career simply due to the way mine was lost, and I have reached a point where I've given up all I am willing to. I've been made to accept a so-called new normal based on fear alone, and, quite frankly, I am very angry about that, right along with a whole lot of other people who have been royally screwed this year. I am sick of living the life of a prisoner not able to see the rest of my family, those being my parents, grandmother, and in-laws. I'm completely pissed off that I can't perform concerts as that was how I made my living. All this, mind you, while I am perfectly healthy. there is no knowing how long this shit is going to continue, so I find myself trying to figure out what the hell I am supposed to do now.. I appreciate that people understand what I'm dealing with, but I am tired of hearing how people understand the issue. I want results, and I see nothing that show me those results. I don't ask for guarantees, and I make none of my own. I am just tired of having my life ruined when I am in perfect health. Yes, I know others are not, and I get that and appreciate it. but, I am not them, and if I was I wouldn't expect everything to come to a stop because I became ill. I will certainly be willing to confess that much of what I've been posting is due to the fact that I am angry with all of this, and I have just simply had enough of it. If I am expected to mask up, then someone had better send me a bulk order of them because I am not spending money on something that I believe will not work. I am not sick, so I do not need one. If one is willing to get me a package of these things, then I'll wear them just so they know the didn't waste their money, but I will not invest in something I do not believe will help me, no way. Again, I apologize for having come across the way I have. Like you, I am fed up with all of this. I just have a different way of dealing with it is all. I also do appreciate you're being willing to be there for those who don't have a good support system. That will certainly mean a great deal to those who may need it. And now, break time is over for me. Got to get back and do another one of the assignments that are due this week. I'm working through a course called CompTIA A+ Core 1. I am not sure if you've heard of it, but it basically involves the hardware end of things. Core 2 deals with the software end of it, and I am really looking forward to that. I'm taking these courses through something called My Computer Career. I am not sure if anyone here has heard a lot about it, but the they are awesome to work with, and thus far everything has been totally accessible. The best part is that it is something that is helping me keep busy during this time, so maybe that will help someone else who is looking for a way to learn something new, and possibly to get some work on top of it.

Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end? Ethan, I am not asking for a hundred percent guarantee that I won't get the virus or be able to spread it. I never said that, so please do not make it look like I did. I would never advocate that idea because I know there is no one hundred percent guaranteed way that this thing can be kept from spreading. All I am saying is that I will not put my life on hold or have it held hostage just because people are getting sick and/or spreading this virus, that disease, or anything else for that matter. It is a virus, not a nuclear bomb, and we need to start remembering that.turtlepower, you made a heck of a good point in your last post. Social distancing is a term that should have never been used here. We've actually been a socially distanced people for some time now what with social media and things like that. However, this is insanity, and one would have to be mentally insane to accept what is going on right now as some sort of new normal. Physical distancing is the term I agree ought to have been used in this time, but the experts, for whatever reason, chose to implement the use of the term "social distancing" right from the get-go. I've seen where over usage of these various apps has changed people, and not necessarily for the better. I have noticed people who would normally be good at focusing on the business at hand, whatever that might be, seem to have much more trouble with it now since they get so wrapped up in the latest gossip. I once had it happen where I was trying to get someone's attention. They were right in the same room with me and I had to try at least four different times before they even finally seemed to get that I needed them for something. This social distancing we're practicing now, as you say, is going to really mess things up for a long time. People might not be willing to see that now, but some of those same folk are already conditioned for it.kjsisco, well said, I couldn't agree more. However, it seems to be very unpopular notion to a lot of folks here now. they'll get it soon enough I hope. I don't know you, but I do hope you continue to stay well and live life to the fullest.Jade:1. You have enough time to continue to force you're view, so don't give me that garbage.2. That point regarding sighted folks was meant to illustrate a point and nothing more. So, don't you attempt to dodge it just because you think your wearing a mask is the right thing to do. For some of us, it just might happen that it isn't, so again, for the umpteenth time, do for yourself what you think necessary and leave it at that. I'll ask a question. If you were out somewhere and you found that someone wasn't wearing a mask, would you report them? Would you play the part of a snitch and tell on them?3: Where in the hell did you get the notion that I was saying, or even implying, that 0 was greater than one. I think we're dealing with someone here who is so worked up over this mask thing, that all common sense is lost. I never said that, and don't appreciate what your idea implies very much. However, given the so-called philosophy by which you view things, I can honestly say that I saw that coming a mile away.4: Same goes here. If you make a choice, you have to deal with it. You were willing to make that choice, so face the consequences of it without complaining about it. I mean, if people heard you complaining about it, they might suddenly think that maybe it isn't a good idea after all. That point you were trying to make by using the illustration of have a less than desirable job commute doesn't even apply, and I'll tel you why. When you have a job, and if it happens to be one of the only ones you can get at the time, then you have no choice as it either comes down to getting there and doing it or not doing so and being unable to pay your bills. This is an entirely different situation and you know that as well as I do. Here, with this mask situation, we have a choice in the matter. If it did become a lwaw, not a mandate but an actual law, then I might be willing to obey it. However, it isn't, at least not here in the United States, so I am making the choice not to do it. If you choose to do something, then you have to be willing to accept what comes along with it. You'll say "Oh, but I had to do it". No, you didn't. You're not some robot that has to do whatever the controller wants you to do at any given time. If my reputation is shot because of that, then I'd say it doesn't speak well with those that I am talking to because, just I've said in the past, I am not the one who would seek to make people do something against their will. I am informing, and if ever I did come across as harsh it was because I felt I was being personally attacked. I have made a mess of nothing because I'm not the one out there making everyone afraid of what could or may happen. I am taking precautions that I am willing to take, and that's the extent of it. I am sorry if that
Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end? There you go again, Enes. I stated very clearly that I can't be a disease vector since I am not really out and about all that much. I do not see much of the rest of my family in other states right now because of these regulations, and while that sucks, I have made that choice for myself. So, how the hell am I being selfish. So, yes, there you go shaming me and throwing me a guilt-trip because I am responsible enough to think for myself. I keep clean, I limit how much I am going out, so what the hell else do you want form me? I won't follow something that is laden with inconsistencies and double-standards. And, just because Jade wears a mask and limits exposure to others doesn't mean anything at all because there is no real way to keep others from getting exposed to this unless you plan to live under a rock for the rest of your life or however long this lasts. So, no I am afraid I am not eh one being dense here. but, think what you will, and live under the banner of fear of you like. That's one hell of a way to live your life. And no, I am not advocating a total lack of caution and such. You're just as likely to get this thing wearing a mask as you are without it. All I am saying is that I am a little more careful in how I go about doing things now. I suppose it would make folks like yourself happy if I finally decided to dawn the mask. I am not insinuating this is the case, but it feels like it sometimes. If that is the case, then realize that I will not do so just to make someone else feel some false notion of security. I am also looking out for my own health in this because of the other things I know of that can happen as a result of wearing them on a regular basis like the experts and politicians would like. I don't get what part of this you do not understand. There's obviously nothing I can say that would make it any clearer, so if you want to think I am being selfish then I'll toss that right back at you for that particular guilt-trip. I will be respectful of those who wish to take every single step to be safe. I am taking certain steps as well, and they are much safer than the mask I assure you. If I can show enough respect for you and others who want to wear one, then the very least you can do is respect the fact that others like myself just don't feel they need to do so. You may not agree with that, and that's fine, but at least have enough respect to not those of us you don't agree with into doing what you feel we ought to do Selfishness, what a cop-out.

Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end? Nolan, if you look at all of those past pandemics like the one you mentioned in your post, you'll find that as bad as it was we didn't shut down everything over it. People were made of much tougher stuff back then and actually didn't choose to live in a state of fear like today's folk are prone to do.Yes, the economy serves us, but it won't be serving anyone if we keep this up. It isn't going to take care of itself, and without the businesses to keep things going you'll find that things aren't going to go the way you think they will. I haven't lost site of the fact that the economy serves us and not the other way around. I have a bit more common sense than that.You hate wearing the mask because it messes with certain sense you've relied on, and yet you say poor me and are willing to put up with it. You know what? If you're willing to go along to get along, then pay the price and be deprived of that which you rely on, and don't complain about how you hate it because you gave up that right when you made the choice to do so.I didn't mention that the business concerning the mayor in D.C. had been nullified because I had not heard that. I don't know about some of you out there, but the ones who would make a big deal out of me not having mentioned this may also forget that I have a life to live outside of looking at the news every second of the day. I am, as it happens, in the middle of a very crazy part of the training for my new career that I've had to shift to thanks to this virus and the stupidity that the fear of it has fostered. So, you'll pardon me if I don't hear about something and fail to mention it.Jade, as for you're thoughts of me preferring to be a disease vector, you may already be one yourself since those masks don't offer all the protection you think they do. I haven't had the chance to be out and about that much because of this lack of work, so any notion you have of me becoming a disease vector can go right back to where you got it from. I do not seek to be a disease vector, not deliberately at any rate. However, I will not voluntarily deprive myself of senses that I need to be able to function on a daily basis. I am sure a sighted person wouldn't voluntarily give up there sight if it meant the virus could enter their bodies through their eyes, so I am not giving up any other senses just to wear a mask that won't even offer guaranteed protection. the best part is that I don't have to complain about the discomfort, how hot it is, and all htat, and I don't have to complain about lack of echo location and the like because I have made my choice not to deprive myself of what I need. Those who decide to do this have absolutely no right to complain about the discomfort, loss of any senses they experience, or anything because they've made that choice. Going along to get along comes with a price, and I am not willing to pay that price. Remember that the next time any of you complains about wearing one of these things. You chose it, so you deal with it and do so without complaining because you have no right to do so since you made that choice. Have fun, and be safe if you can.

Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end? Jade, the I won't state the reasons why I am coming across the way I have been because I've already made myself clear on that. All I will say is the following. You do what you have to do to stay safe, and I'll do what I have to do in order to accomplish that as well. If keeping safe means wearing your mask, then just do it. I know what I have to do to keep myself and others around me safe, and it happens to be that wearing a mask is not part of that. No one around me has fallen ill or been infected, and I haven't been either, so things are fine here from my end. I will continue to stand against these regulations, and not just because they've hit me personally. I have a life to live, and these restrictions are keeping me from doing that, so yes I am going to fight against them. I am glad to hear that things are going better there in Canada, and it is my hope that this continues to be the case I think, at least as far as thing go here in the united States, the next few months are going to reveal a great deal one way or the other.

Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end? Jade, if you want the evidence, go do what you tell so many on the forum to do and look it up for yourself. That's what Google is for. Take the time, and go look it up.This one instance I was mentioning refers to the mayor of Washington, D.C. making it mandatory that all citizens wear the masks, while at the same time making it so that all lawmakers would be exempt. This just happened in the last couple of days. I've provided evidence of this and other things. What more do I have to do to get this through your head?assault_freak, it is a relief to finally find someone else who is willing to apply some common sense and who also understands what this COVID-18 actually is. Unfortunately, you'll find you're in the minority around here, but I've learned that it's not always a bad thing to be in that category. Truth is, all we have to go on in terms of these regulations, especially the ones concerning the wearing of masks, is fear, opinions, and not much else unless you count manipulated scientific data.To those who want to be in bondage to these regulations, do what you have to do. I won't force you to do otherwise, but you'd better remember to stop forcing those who don't agree with you to start doing so through manipulation, guilt, or shaming. I am willing to respect anyone's right to an opinion, but when you start throwing that out there as fact then I have a problem. There is more science behind the claim that the mask don't work, and that the regulations are pointless, then there is for following them blindly without any idea of when they might end. Granted, things work differently here in America than they do in other countries like Canada, and so on. However, we still have freedoms that are guaranteed to us in our Constitution, and many of our state governors have seen fit to overstep the their boundaries as far as that is concerned. The thing is that they don't seem to care about that. When the governor of New Jersey was questioned on the basis of the authority he had to close down churches the way he did, his only answer was something on the lines of that being above his pay grade. He's also one of those leftist governors, so this does not surprise me since they can't, any of them, seem to be able to do something perfectly straightforward and simple like answering a basic yes or no question. That man couldn't even have a discussion about the first amendment in the Bill Of Rights that should be known to anyone in office, and yet citizens of that state are supposed to trust that he is doing the right thing. Give me a break.

Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end? So, you won't accept either form of herd immunity, a scientific process that has worked many, many times before. Do you propose that we continue to put our lives on hold for what could, or might, be? I for one have had it with taking losses just to placate to the fears of everyone else. I have a life to live, a family to provide for, and bills to pay, and I cannot do it while these regulations are in place. That also goes for millions of others who have lost work over this. The numbers of deaths are nowhere near what the experts figured when they started to push this narrative. This has to stop soon, or we're going to have a much bigger problem than this Corona virus to contend with. I applaud those business owners who are opening back up regardless of what the various governors have been telling them to do. Hey, these people have to make a living. They've got their own safety measures in place, so I see no problem with that. Another thing too is that these mandates are not written laws, so there technically is no legal way to enforce them, thank God. Even if there was, I'd still take the stance that I do. If someone really is insistent that I wear a mask, then there going to have to either provide it or purchase it for me because I'm not spending money on something I know I do not need. You'll say I'm selfish, and I say that's a cop-out statement because it's an easy way to get out of considering the other side of things. I have considered the point of view of the folks who are in favor of all these regulations, and, quite frankly, it's like staring at a giant line of machines, all programmed with the same response. "You're selfish" happens to be one of those programmed responses. I am merely choosing not to follow those who promote one thing and then turn around and say that they are somehow exempt from it. I never follow a double-standard. I've been guilty a time or two of bringing one about myself, but I will never follow anyone who would hold me to something expectation and then not be willing to hold themselves to it as well.

Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end? Enes, I mean absolutely no offense here when I say what follows, and I just want to be clear on that. You say that herd immunity is not a scientific process. I then have to ask you how you 'd feel about the use of vaccinations. You see, there are two approaches to the scientific process of herd immunity: one of those being natural exposure, and the other being going the route of vaccines. So, if you do think that vaccines would be a great solution, then you, my friend, are advocating one form of herd immunity. So, it is, in fact, a scientific process.

Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end? Okay, so what will we say to all of this when these regulations are likely still in place after the next three to six months? How long are we to put up with this crap? It was originally for a couple weeks when this began, and I knew right then that it would go much longer than that. They said May, and I was not surprised to learn that in many areas lock-downs would be extended until the middle of the summer. Now, lo and behold, we start to open things up and there is, as we all knew there would be, a spike in cases. So, how long do we go back into lock-down this time? We can't keep playing with people's lives like this. Am I motivated by personal loss? Hell yes, I am. Any self-respecting person who just wants to provide for their family should be fuming at this point. I wonder, if this goes on for a great deal longer, then how are people going to work this stuff out? There are only going to be so many stimulus packages that can go out.I'd also like to know one other thing. If capitalism is so messed up, and I'll grant that it has been hijacked by corporations, what is the solution then. You can't make me believe that the communist socialist approach works as we have way too many examples from throughout world history that show it does not work. I remember all too well the bailouts that happened you spoke of Jade, and I remember not being very pleased to hear about them. I have never once asked for a bailout. If money was offered, such as in the case of the stimulus packages, I obviously was grateful and accepted it. However, I would not expect someone to come along and bail me out. I know we need things to be as safe as possible, but we need to start weighing just how much that's going to cost. there really is nothing that is going to "flatten the curve" to the extent people would like. that's just not the way these things work. If people would just research the idea of herd immunity, they'd find that it is a scientific process we've seen many times before and has usually been what eventually eliminated a virus. Sweden took that approach, and they're doing much better now because of it. Now, the number would look different in a bigger country like the United States, but it would play out the same way in the end.

Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end? There you go again, taking it to the extreme. I do not view any regulation as evil. I am saying, for the umpteenth time, that I don't go along with this because of all the double-standards. What about that is so hard to understand? It is because of those pushing these double-standard that I am, at this time, out of work, and am having to go further into debt to train up to change careers. You don't shut down a nation over a bunch of people getting sick. I want to be able to provide for my family, and to do that I have to work, and my wife needs to work as well. But, I guess that's asking too much. We have to shut down just to make everyone feel good and safe. Let me ask you this then, and this is to all of you. What good is it to be completely safe when you're no longer able to pay your bills. To those of you who rely totally on whatever you are able to get in the way of benefits from the government in which ever country you live, what will you do when that's no longer available. Remember, tax dollars come from people who have businesses and who work for those businesses. When you put harsh regulations on businesses and individuals like this, you cut off those tax dollars from being paid into things like Social Security, and other programs like it. What will you do when that's gone? This isn't going to stop with masks either. We've experienced lock-downs, the mask mandates, completely idiotic regulations on businesses. What's it going to be next? where does it end? Gee, I guess many of you haven't stopped to think about that. I have done a lot of thinking about it, and until you do likewise I'd be careful of who you accuse of being selfish. Also, you guys who want to earn money from the games you create, if these regulations keep coming at us from here on in, where is that money you want to make going to come from. When you figure this all out, then we can continue this. Until then, think before you leap.

Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end? Camlorn, I've tried the mask before, and there is no way I'll ever wear one again, not for anyone who would force me to do so against my will at any rate. It is scientifically proven that they will not prevent the spread of this thing just as they were not effective in preventing the spread of other viruses. If there weren't so many double-standards that are there in plain sight, I could be convinced to wear one. However, until these double-standards no longer exist, I'll continue to object. Yes, those masks to hold the droplets to some extent, but you also have to remember that you're going to be breathing in your own CO2 while wearing these things, and it is scientifically proven that this will be very unhealthy over time. That's another reason why I object. I just don't get why people do not understand this. It's scientific evidence, and yet is dismissed in the name of holding to a narrative that doesn't even make any sense.

Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end? kjsisco, that has to be one of the best posts I've seen on this. We need to use our heads and practice common sense.Enes, the type of nation you would be in charge of is more on par with something like Venezuela, or possibly China. I don't need to tell you how examples like that have worked out in history. Better, if you really want it that way, then run of office in California where things like what you suggest doing are practically in place as it stands now. You'd find a lot more people would be dead as a result and it wouldn't be from some virus either. And, I think I can figure out where all that money would go form the fines you'd collect too, right into your pocket. that's how that kind of leadership works. If you say I'm selfish, then you've taken it upon yourself to redefine that term. Looking at what you'd suggest doing if you were in charge, then I'd say that you're forcing people to do things against their will, and that is the height of selfishness, so don't preach to me about something you don't even fully understand. Again, for those of us who are not listening, I say wear the mask, for heaven sake, wear the thing. Stop forcing those who choose not to do so through shaming and guilt-tripping them. i tell you, there is something at work here and it is far more deadly than this virus, and has already been the cause of deaths that will forever far exceed anything that COVID-19 could bring about. That thing I speak of is stupidity. If you are willing to follow along with those who can't make up their minds one way or another on this, and who won't even practice the very things that they would mandate, then you are stupid and are at far greater risk than this virus presents. Now, before you rail against me with accusations of selfishness again, I'd strongly suggest that you think about what you're going to say first because you contradicted yourself with your own suggestions that you'd put in practice if you ran things. How typical of someone who would sympathize and tag along with the leftists.

Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end? No, Jade, what I said regarding Ethan's understanding of that article of not short-sighted in the least. Influenza, and COVID-19, are both viruses. They are both smaller in size than the pores in your masks. Thus, it is logical that droplets would get through those masks with no problem, so virus wins the contest hands down. If you want to keep out mosquitoes from your yard, what good will hurricane fencing do? It's the same with these masks. You've got material there that has pores that aren't small enough to keep it from getting through. So, be it the flu, this currenty virus, or any other virus for that matter, you're going to have to face the truth that your masks aren't going to do a blessed thing.In answer to your question, we all no the numbers are fudged. We just had it happen in Vermont where my parents live. I was informed that there were a bunch of tests done, all of which showed positive. Then, a different batch of tests were performed within a very short time after that, and all but two of them showed up negative. The question you posed about the masks then is therefore null and void because the numbers do not add up. Plus, scientific data clearly shows they will not work. there is inconsistency in the numbers, in the regulations, and those who are putting these regulations into effect. Speaking of those who are forcing these regulations on us, how is it that they can say we have to wear them when it's perfectly fine for they, being lawmakers and other so-called, experts can somehow be exempt? So, numbers being lower in communities where the masks are used is only so because that's the way they want to make it appear. In Pittsburgh, not far from where I live, we have more positive cases coming in each day. The thing is that this is a highly regulated community wear people must wear the masks, and yet the number of positive cases are going up. Again, question is null and void, sorry.I know you won't believe it, but that's how it is. Write it off as mere opinion if you want, but I would have been clear on that if it was merely my own opinion. If I am proven wrong when all is said and done, then so be it, I'll own up to it. However, that time has not come, and there is more than enough evidence for me to continue in my current course of action. You'll say this was not sound argument, and I can't help you with that. You guys promoting the masks have offered nothing more than what has been spread throughout the media via these so-called experts who, I know, are motivated by more than honest to goodness care for people. There are just as many doctors that also do not agree with people like Fauci, and very well known doctors at that, but all of a sudden their findings don't matter because they don't fit the precious, and pathetic, narrative that people are supposed to hold to and live by. Again, I will not stop anyone from wearing masks who feels that is what they ought to, or need to, do. However, I will not stand for people who feel it is necessary to wear them forcing, shaming, and guilt-tripping those who disagree with them into wearing them. I am done having my life held hostage just because some people got sick and died, and will probably get sick and die in the future. That is unrealistic, and totally unreasonable. I don't know what it will take for this to sink into people's heads, but this garbage has to end right now. Wear the masks if you want, but leave the rest of us to do as we have to do. And, as I've said, if they are so great, then don't flip out when others choose not to wear them. I mean, you're protected, right? Stop trying to make others conform to a false narrative that is being used to cause further division and destruction of people's lives. It's up to you, but I've, yet again, stated my case. If others are getting sick, then I am sorry for them, but I will not put the rest of my life on hold just because others are getting sick. And, I wouldn't expect others to put their lives on hold for me as they need to provide for their own.

Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end? Ethan, I know it is not a strain of Influenza. You missed the point of that article entirely. It was trying to show, through the various studies that were mentioned, that if the masks didn't work in those cases they would be just as ineffective with COVID-19. I am well aware that we're not dealing with a strain of Influenza here, and never personally insinuated that we were. If we were, then I assure you a lot more people would have been ill or dead, and not just the elderly either. Also, listen to those last remarks that you wrote. You said that it is an established fact that the masks don't prevent it, but they may prevent it. Well, do they or don't they? Let's make up our minds on this here because that is a very mixed signal being sent out there.Jade, as I told Ethan just above here, I know the difference between this damn virus and Influenza. It shows you didn't read it, and I would like to think you possess way more intelligence than to just let Ethan give the information to you when he didn't even get it. You've been given this straight from the CDC. If those face diapers you champion won't protect you against other things like Influenza, then what makes you think they'll do any better against this? Honestly, I don't even know why I even bothered to share that article now. I mean, you ask for scientific data, you're provided that scientific data from a source you supposedly take seriously, and then you treat it like it means nothing simply because you're willing to buy into this narrative. Yeah, that's really thinking for yourself. I'll then ask the following question. If these masks are supposed to protect you from COVID-19, then why are you flipping out over those who choose not to wear them based on the scientific evidence they have come to understand? Perhaps they're not as great as you've been lead to think. Oh, and we have, yet again, another double-standard here. The mayor of Washington, D.C. just mandated that all citizens must wear masks, but all lawmakers are exempt. So, here we have it yet again, the inconsistency and double-standards that I've been talking about. This is why this mask business is someone's idea of a bad joke. But, wear them if that's what floats your boat. However, stop forcing, guilt-tripping, and shaming others into doing like wise. If you're bothered by someone not wearing one, then be an adult and leave it alone. You do what works for you, and let them alone to do what works for them. If you can't do that, then stay home and self-isolate so the rest of us can continue to live our lives without having to put up with those who would go tell on us for not wearing them. For gosh sake, kindergartners have more common sense than most who are pushing this mask garbage.

Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end? Oh, another thing I just found out. I already new that the Toronto Bluejays were not allowed to play in their home stadium this year due to the regulations in Canada in regards to COVID-19. I know Canada has closed off its borders to Americans, and I get that. However, how is it that this Canadian team is permitted to use a stadium in Buffalo, NY as its temporary home stadium. If we can't go there, how is it that they can come here. Also, you'll have to close off the borders to them being able to return to Canada then if this is to be followed. Again, more inconsistency, but let's go ahead and follow the regulations and mandates of fools that no nothing. Makes you feel good and patriotic to do that, doesn't it. What a pile of rubbish.

Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end? Well, we have more double-standards it looks like. I am not sure where the baseball game was last night, but I know that Anthony Fauci, I refuse to refer to that fool as a doctor, was in attendance and actually threw the first pitch. He then proceeded to go have a seat in the stands. He was sitting close to others, not practicing social distancing as he preaches to the rest of us, and, guess what, he wasn't wearing a mask. The great general of the masked brigade himself wasn't wearing a mask and was not practicing social distancing. New York's joke of a governor was even seen to have been doing the same thing. Yet, these people have the nerve to say that we all have to wear masks and they can just choose to not follow their own rules. This is why I don't follow the mandates. If you make them, you had damn-well better follow them too. What a joke this virus is, nothing more than a political weapon for two-bit politicians to gain more power that they haven't earned. These people don't want things to open up again, not unless they can completely control it themselves. But, go ahead and wear the masks. Go along with people who tell you what to do, and yet don't do it themselves. That's really playing it smart.

Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end? Maybe you wore a different type of mask than what I tried, but the one I tried cut that sense by at least 50 to 60 percent, and that is only because I was wearing it properly. Until I see the double-standards in all of this disappear, then I won't be putting one on any time soon again. There are medical publications, and very reliable ones at that, which say these things are not reliable. Hell, even the packaging for the masks that people are buying up says that they will not protect against COVID-19. No, I don't think I'll be putting one on again any time soon, especially when even the CDC states that they don't work. There are tons of people following this regulation, but they are still getting the virus. The pores in the material are not small enough to block the virus from getting through, so there's really no point in it. But, as I have said, if it works for you then just do it, all power to you.

Re: do you guys play any instromints My primary instrument is the accordion, but I also play piano, organ, percussion, and am hoping to work more on trumpet, saxophone, and clarinet at some point.

Re: Bible Program for Windows If you ever do make a Bible app, I know I'd certainly be interested in checking it out. I am always interested in trying out new programs of this kind.

Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end? Hey, people wanted evidence, evidence of why I stood against these regulations, and I have provided that. It is not my problem that it isn't taken seriously, and quite frankly it is none of my concern. You have to do what you feel is best, and that's perfectly fine. That's what I am doing as well. What works for you might not work for someone else, and that is why these regulations are nothing more than a pathetic joke. They can't be enforced for one thing, unless you want to base every accusation on hear-say which is asking for more trouble than this virus could ever cause. Again, you do whatever works for you, and I'll do what I need to do. That's all I am promoting. Here's to hoping that things work out for all of us regardless. That's what we need to keep in view.

Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end? Eens, I am as a wall because I have rock-solid backing on which to stand. Just today, I saw where the Guardian had reported on a mask manufacturer in Los Angeles that had to close down because at least a hundred of its employees, all of them masked by the way, came down with this virus or something like it. And yes, you would have better luck talking to a brick wall in that it isn't a living thing and cannot disagree with anything you tell it. Look at it this way, in self-isolation you'll have all the wall to talk to that you could ever want. Have fun with that.
