I really need to stop checking in on this thread. Just leaves me more anxious and confused. Haha

I think I'm with you...

I take the time to provide an intelligent response to an argument just to have it glossed over with two, three word answers that ignore all the counter-points I presented.

It's really just a microcosm of society all boiled into one Dobberhockey thread.

These conversations are happening every day everywhere!

As long as it is realized that it does both ways. A response that has information that does not answer the questions posed can be intelligent but it also opens more turkey trails. I ask intelligent questions that get avoided quite regularly with intelligent responses Of different areas.

if the questions posed are ignored then why shouldn’t the counter arguments also be ignored?

Maybe you didn't read my responses - they were point by point almost. When you shrunk yours to one liners I continued expanded responses. I think you should go back over the past couple pages.

You weren't ignored my friend.

I am glad we can still be friends through all this! I appreciate people who can have different opinions but still be friends.

And I did look back and yeah I had a couple short responses. But I also did have questions that were missed/ignored/not directly answered, which is okay. As long as it is understood that I cannot directly respond to each statement made as well.

In regard to the rail blockades. This was a protest in solidarity with other First Nations to prevent a pipeline being put in through First Nations land that they don't want.

It's their land. If they don't want the pipeline.. why do they not have the right to say no?

It's even more complicated than that - the elected representatives of that particular first nation approved the pipeline, while the hereditary chiefs opposed it and decided to block the rail line.

I was aware of that... I can only do so much... heh.

This can go a long way if they heed Trudeau's advice today:

But what it I light a fire on the road to get into my place? Or I light a fire to the entrance to the town office? Then I probably deserve to go to jail? Simple as that.

A better analogy would have been; What if I put a spike strip on the road.

WOW... US just reached a new level.

45 000 new cases reported today. They will be over 50 000 for the day when it's all reported.

This is unreal. Nevada went from 2 100 cases reported in total to 22 000 new cases TODAY.

30% of COVID cases World Wide are in the USA.

If you live in the US. Stay inside. Stay safe.

Nevada went from 2 100 cases reported in total to 22 000 new cases TODAY.

This seems like either a massive increase in testing or a case of batch reporting. I've noticed when tracking other regions sometimes there's a day or two with nothing and then suddenly it spikes. But yeah, the bigger picture is rough.
