    He seems to think Ready Player 2 is a movie. You should let him know it's the book.

    He is on a full scholarship at Arkansas on French Horn Compositions. He was saying he hasn't even seen the movie, much less the book. Should he like the movie, I'll send him the books. But he has said multiply he's not into video games. He'd rather spend his time writing music or learning a new instrument.

    Another fun fact: My Son hardly ever drinks. It just isn't him.

    We would need to see more to be sure this isn't a scam.

    He's a great kid and doesn't deserve any chastising from the gallery here.

    You are such an abominable **** head. I got on here in 1999. I've shown all the trials and tribulations, including my ex remarrying the day of our divorce, keeping me away from him other than weekly phone calls and literally trying to adopt him away for a decade... And then, seriously, called me in 2014 to see if I'd like to "start over..."

    That's an absurd conclusion. I wouldn't trust that source as far as I can spit.

    Haven't been here in a couple weeks. Anyone else post the Johns Hopkins Economics Professor that showed total death rates are on par with expected rates to any other year and that all other diseases have gone down?

    In other words, we've been scammed.

    Fatty, the pandemic is real. This isn't at all "like any other year." Broaden your sources of the news. If you don't trust the mainstream news sources that have been in existence in our country going back to radio and the newspapers of the 1930's, then try reading BBC.com. You might be surprised.

    You've been saying this for 9 months now. Why is that?

    I keep hoping you'll wake up and smell the coffee. Call me an optimist.

    Hmm, I wonder why that could be? Maybe it's because this year more people have stayed indoors than those other years? Use your common sense.

    I am an optimist in that we aren't dying any more so than any other year. We've been duped.

    Mind you, this is a liberal professor at Johns Hopkins. But Data doesn't lie. Which is why I still can't find YTD death data. She did.



    Hilarious. They've banished it. How liberal of them...

    Staying indoors was to slow the spread. You're point?

    No idiot. You said total death rates are on par with expected rates to any other year and I'm saying people not being out as much compared to other years contributes to that.

    The upper management of that news letter basically condemns people like you who used that article the wrong way:

    "On Thursday, Nov. 26, the Editors-in-Chief learned that the piece was being shared by conspiracy theorists on social media to deny the severity of COVID-19. "

    You're a joke, dude

    "The Editors-in-Chief decided to delete the article because of these urgent concerns, explaining on social media that the piece was being taken out of context and used to spread dangerous misinformation. While the article noted the need for further research, this sentiment was not sufficiently emphasized. We failed to clarify that Briand’s analyses have not been published, peer-reviewed or verified by outside experts."
