The Coronavirus thread

This is the final warning for this thread. No one is going to say jokes about people hanging themselves. Everyone needs to chill the **** out. I was going to give Stoney a vacation, but Coolie handled it so I let it be as it is because I don't believe Stoney is a continuous problem.

For long time, it was quite acceptable at SN to see posts with " suck a glock", "eat a dick with aids on the tip" and "die in a grease fire", all of which became comical to regulars. Dark humor was ok.

Now it is not, because some "tastes" have changed. That means the standards have changed, as Coolie articulated above, and as Tim so clearly opined.

Some view that as better; maybe it is.

But it clearly is censorship.

And that sucks.

This thread is much better because Spike, with his stories, facts, headlines, hyperbole and excited utterings, has been allowed to return.

Maybe the P&R forum needs to add an asterisk to "lightly moderated*" where

Yeah, you want to know what the difference between now and those "old times" are that you speak of? About 200 members. Those 200 people rolled out. You know what happened then? The site went dark for almost 2 months before Dave finally turned the lights back on. You know why so many people left? Because over all the years people ran each other off with the continuous following from thread to thread to fight and ***** and moan about whatever that person posted. You know what isn't exactly expanding nowadays? Social forums. Why? Because of social media. There's no need for them anymore and younger generations don't even know what the **** a message board is. So **** me for trying to get people to get along and have some God damn respect for one another. Steve if you stopped by the tailgate and got into a disagreement with another board member at the tailgate would you tell them to go suck on a Glock you ******* douche? Probably not. You'd have a civil argument if you needed to have one because you're a polite and good dude.

This place is a family. There's no need to attack people's families, wish death upon someone, or anything of that nature. We're dealing with a medical crisis in the world right now. People are healing, but people are dying. We need to fight together and for one another.

Florida Megachurch Packed with Worshipers During Coronavirus Pandemic

This is the clear and present danger ... people continuing to congregate -- squeezing into close quarters like sardines -- and that's exactly what happened Sunday at a Florida Church.

The River Church in Tampa was packed to the gills with worshipers who clearly were looking for hope. Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne, who presides over the megachurch and has been reportedly defiant over social distancing, has claimed he'll cure coronavirus just the way he did with Zika.

"We are not stopping anything. I've got news for you, this church will never close. The only time the church will close is when the Rapture is taking place.”

We have that problem up here near my house, many of you are probably familiar with the Solid Rock Church and it's former Big Butter Jesus or Touchdown Jesus that was struck by lightning and went up in flames. The are refusing to stop services. They are also known around here for being a cocaine and sex trafficking front. Lovely people fleecing there flock. Many of them are just ******* lunatic cult members rather than Christians.

Thanks, I added rule #8 for you. We recently had a member on her whose wife attempted to commit suicide. You never know how down someone is, especially right now. Someone could be reading this site and feeling low because they just lost a loved one or lost their job or whatever. Maybe someone's stupid joke is enough to make them try to kill themselves.
 
Where are Trog, Tibs & 21STUPID21 when you need them?
 
Hey can I be grandfathered in or something? I live for dark humor but mean no harm. :). I mean what better time to post the Bring out yer dead scene, than during a pandemic. Comedy is all about timing, and if you can't make fun of something then, you just go down the dark hole of despair.

This extra month of social distancing gives Congress way too much time to come up with stupid **** to look like they are "doing something". The obvious big risk is permanent erosion of freedoms through panic legislation.

Ayep. How much longer until they come up with another multi-trillion dollar "aid package?" Until this is over, we are going to be over $30 trillion in debt. I think this nation has over-reacted from the start of this thing. Now, there are armed vigilante groups going around their neighborhood and barricading people into their homes because they "suspect" the person has coronavirus. States barring travelers from other specific states. National Guard units enforcing this draconian ****. Your freedoms are already gone. The only question is whether or not our merciful and benevolent government will "allow" us to have them back.

This is going to get much, much worse, and I ain't talking about the virus. If/when they close down "essential" services, I hope you are well armed and well stocked. This **** is going to get ugly.
 
Mexico is obviously racist.

Coronavirus: Mexicans demand crackdown on Americans crossing the border

Mexican protesters have shut a US southern border crossing amid fears that untested American travellers will spread coronavirus.

Residents in Sonora, south of the US state of Arizona, have promised to block traffic into Mexico for a second day after closing a checkpoint for hours on Wednesday.

They wore face masks and held signs telling Americans to "stay at home".

Mexico has fewer than 500 confirmed Covid-19 cases and the US over 65,000.

The border is supposed to be closed to all except "essential" business, but protesters said there has been little enforcement and no testing by authorities.

The blockade was led by members of the group Sonorans for Health and Life, who called for medical testing to be done on anyone who crosses from the US into Mexico.

Jose Luis Hernandez, a group member, told the Arizona Republic: "There are no health screenings by the federal government to deal with this pandemic. That's why we're here in Nogales. We've taken this action to call on the Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to act now."

The Mexican president has been criticised for his response to the pandemic, as has US President Donald Trump.

Mr Hernandez said the Wednesday demonstrations were a "first warning" to Mr Lopez Obrador, popularly known by his initials, Amlo.

The group has called for enforcement of the crossing ban on all US or Mexican citizens for tourism or medical reasons, including those who cross the border every day to attend school or work in the US.

Authorities must also conduct medical testing on Mexicans deported from the US, they said.

The group have vowed to block the DeConcini checkpoint again after shutting it down on Wednesday afternoon.

President Trump has made cutting the number of people crossing the border from Mexico into the US a centrepiece of his administration. He blames border-crossers from the south for bringing economic and social problems into the US.

He announced last week that the frontier was to close due to coronavirus.

I thought the armed door-to-door searches for New Yorkers in Rhode Island was interesting.

Me too. And people are just fine with it. Social distance, stay home. It's ok if they kick in my door, it's for my safety.
