hm ... as usual i don't think the issue is simple black&white this or that ... i never had a flu shot but that doesnt mean im not vaccinated against the more deadly stuff , however, as with all things i think it's a personal choice, public health or not, if you choose not to you would be morally required to let people know i suppose that's all

We agree, it is a personal choice. There is more to the vaccinations that meets the eye. One vaccination has been linked to children autism.
it's possible ... despite the state of science most of the brain is still uncharted territory and most of it is left to guessing, even by the brightest since mostly all statistics point to the potential within the norm, not the fringe, i dont know enough about it so i'll just stick to my conviction that everyone should weigh the benefits or risks for themselves, not for others. Choice is highly underrated these days. I think a lot of people actually don't want it because it requires taking responsibility while if you just follow or do as its done you can always claim it wasnt your fault ... that seems to be very important to most
If you check out the comment by us under this one, there is a trailer for a documentary of a movie produced by Robert Di Nero about the MMR vaccination and its link to Autism. Choice is definitely underrated and you have a very good point, most people do not want it. It is easier to place blame elsewhere... why take responsibility? The same people that do not want choice are the ones that whine when something does not go the way they want. It seems that most do not understand you cannot have it both ways. You can take responsibility and have the right to complain when something does not work out OR let the government make the decision for you and when it does not work out keep quite.
probably the most used excuse in history : "i only follow orders" forgetting "i chose to follow orders" in the first place. I often get the evil eye on complaining because "others have it worse", and up til today, 45 years after day 1 i still don't see why others having it worse denies me the right to complain lol. It's just, well i call them 'normals' as an easy groupname usually, seem to get headaches from not buying busy and i think that is because not buying busy forces you to sit with yourself, and that's when your brain shows no mercy, because whatever you want, you can not not think when you're alone
opinion is all too often highly underrated
I like the term "normals". We tend to just call them the "masses" because are more of them, then of us (truthers). Yes their are people that have it worse than you or I, that I am sure, but that does not take away from what you or I are experiencing, Personally IMO I think every human has the right to complain, just as they have a right to change what is causing them to complain. It feels that somewhere along the way, people forgot what opinions are, and quiet a few people have let MSM control their personal opinion. Opinion are not original, people do not form their own. Critical thinking has become a concept of the past.
spot on, the power of the question surpasses the subjective truth because without it there is none anyway. Semantics are less important than meaning but often used by people who run out of arguments, i grew into using the word normals i can only assume because of the number of times i have been considere not lol. It's something schools seem to have abandoned in favour of moral majority training ... something i think is not even their place, that's what parents are supposed to do and parents saying they dont have time should have better gotten a voluntary sterilization (no eugenics ofcourse, lol) than they should have gotten kids, because if you dont have time to teach them about life then i dont think you should (or use 'one' instead of 'you' because i dont mean you ofcourse when i say you in this case) and schools can stick to academics and teaching how to think, not 'what' to think
as usual, eye to eye from different dimensions
100% agreed! We both believe that schools have way to much influence now. In California your child that is in pre-school is taught sex education. This may show my age but why does a child that young need to be taught anything about sex? Also why are they teaching them same-sex relationships? What happened to the days when Parents taught their children about life, how to think, and so on? Children learn more from TV and then school then they do from their family, and the Parents of them children are the first ones to say what is wrong with this kids today.
