Straight grain lumber from Lowe’s or the Home Depot? Get the fuck out of here with that fantasy...And some straight grain lumber boards from their equivalent of Home Depot or Lowes...
Make the English longbow great again. If they want their real and full liberty as British citizens back, they are going to have to TWANG to get their hands on some PEW PEWs...
Sweden is not really having a laugh and they are far from done, first of they have 10x the death tool of their neighbors and second they have a 40% larger drop in GDP than the neighbors.So the virus only goes to work after 10pm at night???
So the virus won't get you if you are 16 people at a funeral, but will get you if you are 16 people at a wedding?
Meanwhile Sweden is having a laugh at the rest of the world as they are about to call done and dusted on corona cold.
The best way to combat this “virus” is to shut off the fucking tv and internet and go about your day!
YES! Information, data and understanding of the problem as best as possible is the enemy of all good decision making processes. Just do what feels right. STOP TESTING, noone will be diagnosed with anything if we never tested for anything. ...

Because if it's on TV or the internet it must be true, right?
Bon jour...…….
What a dumbass
As if we needed another reason to rally everyone to vote for Trump, apparently the spoiled side of the British Royal family are telling us we need to "do the right thing" and vote for Biden.
Whats the quota on pompous Brits on this site?
We have to be near max with @ManUtdManiac and @Lawrence60 .
ok - please, tell me, where you do you get your information from? The Smithsonian I believe has been fully uploaded online. I learnt a lot about shooting, reloading and firearms online. I learnt how to become very proficient at archery, field dressing game and planning and executing a solo hunt in the backcountry online. Most of the content and more, of what's in the world's museums is online. All manner of music, analysis, papers, thesis across almost every conceivable topic and viewpoint is online. It may take a critical mind to determine what's useful and what's shit, but then, noone should be doing your thinking for you anyway - unless you listen to Limbaugh, Hannity or that Transgender ghoul Ingraham.
So what, pray tell Mr. Fuckstickface, do you have against information that's online?
Quite honestly I don't have the time or inclination to dismantle your strawman argument. You're just not worth it.

Sorry to disappoint but I'm actually English, been around for a while on here, but only post when I've something useful to say (hint)
Not too sure on the pompous bit, been called a few things but never that, you might have to ask those on here who know me for an honest answer though?
Please read about surgery next and film your practical application on something non functioning like your appendix or cerebral cortex.
oh look, the resident alcoholic has arrived. I'll wait for you to post the 'how to' on YouTube first.
hey nigga, has anyone told you it's not 1776 anymore...?
I don't appreciate the racist comments because I have very good friends from all nationalities and religions who would be only to happy to put you straight on that score
You seem to be the type of Englishman that might avoid coming here to preach their superiority with a tone of smugness.
An admirable trait.

@pmclaine let's think how we can fuck with this limey some more
You're correct, it's not 1776. We're already way past kicking the lobster backs out of our country, then doing it a second time in the 1812 war, then saving your ass 2x in the assorted World Wars. You're welcome.oh look, the resident alcoholic has arrived. I'll wait for you to post the 'how to' on YouTube first.

We had people hoarding toilet paper, ridiculous behaviour.idiots... wtf is it about toilet paper? It’s not like the restrictions are even that bad (well except for the pubs shutting at 10).
You're taking his comment out of context on purpose, limey. He said nothing about stopping testing, etc. The mainstream media is only reporting what seems to be the worst possible view of the numbers available to advance a narrative of needing to explicitly follow exactly what the government says without question. Wrong. The actual mortality rate expressed as a percentage of those infected, deaths per 100,000 of the general population are the main numbers that matter. But, alas, the news isn't reporting that. If they did, the general public would see that of all (about) 6,950,000 positive cases so far there were about 202,000 deaths.YES!

I thought Megan was a Loyalist who went and supported some future sub-king? Why do we care what she thinks? Can't judge England by Megan Markle. We should only judge the stupidity of the state (California) that spawned that stupid whelp... while reminding England that if they had been smart, the Queen would have sent Meghan on a Mercedes ride through a Paris Tunnel.You're correct, it's not 1776.

And the thanks we get is the self-neutered royal family telling us how to vote?
Bugger off.
oh look, the resident alcoholic has arrived
It's not a title, it's half the Hide after 7pm EDT. Some, a little earlier...Damn it... is that title off the table then?
Sorry, new here, just askin'?!
3, 2, 1...........oh look, the resident alcoholic has arrived. I'll wait for you to post the 'how to' on YouTube first.

Isn't that how it's done? The world would have been better off. Certainly the 'Brits would have been had they stuck to their normal equine-faced fugleys like future Royal Consort Camilla. Woah, Seabiscuit!!!
Sirhr

[ irrelevant stuff I deleted to save pixels]
That amounts for a 2.9% mortality without regard for any age Math is a thing.
I dont want to delve into the mortality rates of different age ranges. I'll stipulate on my whiskey that the average age for those who die of coronavirus is already higher than the average life expectancy.. take it for what you will.
Here's a plethora of numbers for you to crunch if you want cure your ignorance:
COVID-19 Provisional Counts - Weekly Updates by Select Demographic and Geographic Characteristics
Tabulated data on provisional COVID-19 deaths by age, sex, race and Hispanic origin, and comorbidities. Also includes an index of state-level and county-level mortality data available for download.www.cdc.gov
When the government actually starts to implement "restrictions" based on science, statistical data, I'll be shocked.
Maybe we can strike a deal with the Canucks.Brit hereMust admit this is an entertaining thread... You'll find that Brits don't mind having a bit of fun poked at us, just as long as those throwing it can take it? Glass houses and all that.
Saw Trump in the paper this morning commenting on Harry and Meghan, he pretty much nails it and it's what much of what the UK is thinking. I feel bad that you guys are having to put up with them but please don't send them back...
Maybe we can strike a deal with the Canucks.
You take Trudeau, we send Harry and Sparkle Farkle to Montreal and we’ll take Bieber. Oh, and just for equity’s sake, you have to take Jim Carrey too.
Deal ?![]()
So, here's the thing. I've seen lots of threads here and elsewhere, on these 'what's the important stat' and there's usually some merit in many of them. But I think, and this is perhaps wishful thinking (and If I"m wrong I'm sure my War of Independence OG PMSclaine will set me straight in a genteel manner), that the real issue is not so much that this is a deadly disease like ebola, but that IF you get it, and IF it manifests itself into serious symptoms, THEN without treatment, you will die. It's that last part, I'm hoping, is the thinking behind all else because if the concern is "we don't have enough beds and capacity to treat a lot of people if they get really sick", then the mortality rate of those infected and with serious symptoms, would increase.
I'm fairly sure I've had it, I went throug a week of serious headaches, bad congestion and shortness of breath but no aches or cough or fever. I wasn't too worried for that reason, I wasn't seriously sick. But if I got sick, and the beds were full, then that'd be a bit of a cause for a sphincter clench and a fox hole prayer of the atheist.
As to being a Limey. Well, I'm American (as of 2012) and not to brag, but I'm pretty sure I'm more fluent in the Constitution than the average born American.
I'll say this though, I'd like to see some of you chaps who think we're all a bunch of poofs to play a couple seasons of rugby.
Tally Ho!
The watering down of these ideals isn't by accident.Here let me put my rye down and answer this.....
Are you over 80?
Do you already have a life threatening illness?
If not.....what do you fear?
Our own CDC stats show only 9000 people have died solely from Covid. Everyone else had a comorbidity.
Get a grip on your fear.
You likely think of yourself as the more humane and caring for your position.
I think you are fearful and selfish. You are motivated by the concern for your worthless skin.
My concerns include sympathy for the sick, the elderly and the relatively few healthy people that died from covid but I look at a larger population harmed just as grievously by our reaction.....
Business owners that have seen their lives investment ruined. Employees for those businesses out of work.
Young people that had built a savings to buy that first house or have that first child now spending it down trying to survive unemployment despite their ability and desire to work.
The guy that had a dermatologist appointment or a colonoscopy scheduled in March being told this coming November "Sorry. Had we caught it earlier we could have saved you."
The depressed walking off into the woods with rope or gun for the last time....its a fact its happening.
I care about those people too and all you care about is yourself.
You are not an American.
American Freedom is enjoyed with the understanding life has risks. You are provided great opportunity but not a security of outcome. You are expected to be responsible for yourself not nannied by the government that only rules legitimatly based on our acceptance of its policy and only within the constraints of the Constitution.
Americans dont defeat so easily.
Wife had a co-worker (IT guy) over the house last night to help set up the home office/work connection. He is naturalized American of Indian (Asian) decent. Wore his mask the entire time in our house. He is defeated. In our short conversation about covid, which his wife survived with no symptoms - but tested positive for - probably a false positive - so much for stats, he summed it up as this is the way the world will be from now on.
Are you shitting me? Total defeat. Usually a gregarious guy that I can converse with but now seemingly depressed and resigned to a dystopian covid 19 existence.
He is not American in spirit its a shame.
Immigration is good and necessary. It brings people into our country with the balls to leave home and hearth for the unknown. Something has changed though.
In the past they came from shit and only asked for a chance that their home country would not provide them. They wanted opportunity to succeed based on their willingness to work and their brains.
Now they come here either looking for a handout or they want to lecture us on how their former countries were smarter and we should be like what they left. They acknowledge our Constitution and as they express an appreciation for its blessings the always add the word "but" to their opinions.
"Freedom of speech is absolutely necessary BUT....."
"The Second Amendment is absolutely crucial BUT...."
"The 4th and 5th Amendment matter BUT....."
It is disheartening that people are unwilling to accept freedom due their fear of others abusing those same freedoms.
Why should we have any freedoms at all than if the possibility of abuse is reason to limit the freedom of those that would exercise it responsibly and lawfully?
Not impressed with the current batch of immigrants Id suggest we only take people from behind the former Iron Curtain. They seem to appreciate what the US Constitution recognizes as natural rights and its limits on the ability of government to meddle in their lives. Im guessing Cubans and Venezuelans would come up here and bleed Red, White and Blue if given the chance to.
Pompous tea totalling Brits though? Im not impressed.
