Happy Easter!

Susan Kim2 said:Nobody in the entire world actually knows the plan or the idea to resolve this virus pandemic. Even Rudan wrote about how we haven't had a major epidemic in Europe for practically 100 years, not since the Spanish Flu, and that we should listen to the old-school epidemiologists. It's because being an epidemiologist isn't exactly a glamorous career for the younger generation when we haven't dealt with an epidemic in decades.

The only thing we know for sure is that social distancing and isolation are our best tools. I have no idea where you guys got "two years" from, and now it's "12+ months of quarantine."
As for monitoring phones, I don't believe that will ever really take off, aside from the tracking you already have enabled by keeping your location on constantly. 😁

Mexico has been in deep trouble for a long time; this virus stuff is just throwing gasoline on an existing fire. The President gives addresses like Mamara used to during her best days, and his prime minister and government are just as chaotic as that Assembly in Dinamo Chicago.

That's the level we're dealing with.

I've watched several videos of this guy now... I knew things were bad over there, but what's happening is some serious Dinamo Chicago level dysfunction. 🤣
Actually, Dinamo Chicago is nothing compared to this. 🙏

🤣

It seems quarantine only bothers those who are already married. ☕
Give it a rest—this isn't some kind of joke.

Zoki 🤣🙏
The role actually suits him quite well—he lacks real authority, he's a decent speaker, he hasn't lost his spine, and honestly, you can't help but laugh at his ridiculous remarks.

ruggedjackal46 said:Look, just because people want to take a walk outside doesn't mean they’re some kind of deranged psychopaths. Getting some fresh air is actually healthy, especially for those of us stuck in tiny apartments. It’s good for both your physical and mental health, which is pretty crucial given everything going on right now. As long as people are following basic precautions, I really don't see why there's such massive hysteria about it.

The real issue isn't a simple stroll; it's the seniors congregating on cafe patios and playing bocce ball in groups.
Nobody is even talking about a normal walk.

Maybe it takes losing two or three thousand lives to finally wake them up.
We need strict penalties and public executions; there isn't any other way.

The police should just record every single name and surname; then, when they actually need help, throw those people to the back of the line. They can wait until all the actual patients are seen—after all, what harm can a ridiculous little virus do?

Are our people getting sick enough to end up just like they did in Italy?

Go ahead—let one doctor spout nonsense—but look at the numbers. Because of this irresponsible behavior, they’ll likely get off without any major sanctions.

Twenty-three staff members from Klaićev have been outside the US in the last two weeks. They were only sent into isolation today.

It’s obvious the forum owner was ordered not to spread panic—hence this kind of moderation.

Matthew Young35 said:That’s because this isn't about politicians.
It’s about a minority that doesn't threaten the majority.
Politicians are the ones who actually threaten the majority.

Just imagine if you were an American in St. Louis and people were publicly burning an effigy of an American. How would that sit with you?
What kind of emotions do you think a gay person feels when they see something like this? Wouldn't they want to flee while they still have the chance?
Or consider how a child growing up in a same-sex household feels watching this unfold?

And what about the family of the politician being burned? How should they feel?
Will that politician's kid end up being the target of bullying at school?
Plenty of questions—hardly any answers.

A gay person is a living being, just like any politician.
If something is deemed "accepted" or "normal" in this wasteland, we need to apply the same standard to everyone. You can't label one thing as normal and then criticize the other—that's nothing but hypocrisy.

Matthew Young35 said:Exactly.
You caught my drift perfectly.

Politicians—both dead and living, from Bozanić to whoever else—have been getting burned for years, yet suddenly there's this massive panic? Interesting.

bluebison47 said:I hadn't heard about that, but honestly, even as an atheist, I find the whole thing just... revolting. It feels offensive to everyone involved, I guess.

Honestly, neither side really bothers me—it’s just the blatant double standards that get under my skin. Why is one thing treated as perfectly normal while the other causes a massive uproar? Especially among those who seem to live for Frljić's antics.
Bauk is filing criminal charges. 🙏
Look—it’s all because of some performance at a carnival, during that time of year when people lose their minds and dress up like superheroes or animals. Honestly, what is wrong with everyone?

Matthew Young35 said:Well, you obviously watched it, so you can testify to what actually happened.
And naturally, you don't see anything problematic about portraying the burning of homosexuals—or even an adopted child—as something positive and funny.

Matthew Young35 right back at the front of the line—as per usual. ☕

I’ve officially lost my mind—so I guess I'll be watching Frljić's play. 🤣
The act itself is designed to provoke a reaction from a specific crowd—how or why that matters is secondary.

How exactly are we supposed to take this whole "burning gay couples" thing—seriously, though?
A warning to all gay and lesbian couples out there—stay inside if you know what's good for you. You're just asking for trouble out in public. 🙄

And here is a perfect example of what I’m talking about—Matthew Young35 really missed the mark on that one.

You didn't watch the play—so, quite frankly, you missed the point. The narrative runs much deeper than that, and it requires actual comprehension; the fact that he’s messing around with certain elements is completely irrelevant.
On the other hand—
This burning is serious business—it’s not some joke—and it does nothing but damage our kids and our global reputation..

I’m just going to tell you one thing—you didn't exactly nail that carnival performance. ☕

bluebison47 said:When and where did this actually happen for the first time? 🤷

He isn't burned out—but seriously, what kind of twisted vision did Frljić have, portraying Jesus raping a Muslim woman?
The coverage was handled with genuine enthusiasm—presented in a way that felt both cutting-edge and incredibly engaging. Why settle for anything less? ☕

Restaurants are meant for gentlemen—so why shouldn't one bring a dog along? ☕

ruggedjackal46 said:I highly doubt Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović is cunning enough to play a game like that, and she’s certainly too vain to intentionally embarrass herself or provoke a loss. Honestly, the woman just snapped, plain and simple. And let's be real, this doesn't help Andrej Plenković either; the elections made it clear that the right wing would rather vote for Mirko Škoro or just stay home than cast a ballot for his Republican Party.

At first glance, I thought someone would have to be desperate to pull a stunt like this—but don't forget those alleged recordings involving Mamić and who knows what else; perhaps blackmail is at play here too.

That’s just how the Republican Party operates...

ruggedjackal46 said:The whole foundation of marriage is about supporting the lesser evil, as you can clearly see.☕ 😁

Fuck, did Kolinda really manage to lose an election she should have won against a political corpse like Zoran Milanović? You have to be a total genius to pull that off.🙏

brightpilot6 said:If Kolinda actually loses this, it’s honestly staggering to see how much people have been undermining her over the last couple of months, especially in these final few days.

Back in September, I was calling her a winner, predicting she’d take the runoff with a 60:40 lead against anyone put in front of her.

As far as her own future goes, perhaps it would be better for her to just step out of the spotlight and find some peace away from all this.

Perhaps this entire thing was orchestrated—a deliberate loss intended to maintain government stability.
Even Zoran's people are raising their hands in Congress to support Andrej Plenković. ☕

I wouldn't rule it out.

Her behavior lately has been quite strange.

It just doesn't hit the same anymore.

Wishing you all the best in 2020.

For years, I voted for the Liberal Party until they finally got a shot at power (helping bring the Democrats in) and then everything fell apart. Even my last vote for them felt more like a protest than actual support. I promised myself I wouldn't do that anymore.

Then I skipped elections entirely until the bridge party showed up and eventually helped the Republicans take charge before they also crumbled. If they can rebuild on some solid ground, maybe I'll give them another shot, since there aren't many other sane options out there.

I once voted for unknown just so I could feel good about supporting someone I actually considered honest, even though it was obvious he wasn't making it to the runoff.
Now, I couldn't care less if the president is some arrogant jerk or just plain obnoxious. I'm not showing up to this damn election. If I absolutely had to, I'd just cross out the whole ballot.

The only honest one left.

I generally have little patience for those who whine about everything being broken yet refuse to actually vote—but between these two candidates, there truly isn't another option. Or, one could simply spoil the ballot.

In case anyone missed it—yet again—we just witnessed another election where the Republican Party and the Democratic Party walked away with the lion's share of the votes. Is anyone actually surprised? 🙏 ☕

I was watching some political talk show recently—can't recall the network, maybe CNN or something similar—hosted by a woman with short hair. Honestly, who exactly is entitled to a vote these days? 🤣
Maybe we should implement a psychological evaluation before anyone even thinks about stepping foot on the ballot? Just a thought—but wouldn't that be more sensible?

I honestly have to wonder if any of you are actually sane.

Tansre Žićbo—whether he celebrates or not—deserves nothing but the best.
