What do you think about with current News and Opinions?

Published

Something to understand what nurses think about re the Current News and their opinions!

I wonder if republicans realize how much they are like monks or nuns, cloistered in an environment that porifices all of their information, limiting their exposure to experiences, so that they have a blinkered point of view? 

It's exactly what's done to Donkeys and Asses, to prevent distraction, so they won't be surprised or able to stray!

Did anyone see the EU State of the Union Speech in Strasbourg? 

My father watches those things. He has to keep up since he opened an office in London. Anyway, the Danish and Swedish commissioners were knitting in the Parliament while listening. 

When will we become so civilized and normal? Not a single person looked like a movie star, just normal looking people, dressed in normal clothes and behaving like a town hall meeting.

"Whites who score high on measures of racial resentment and racial grievance are far more likely to support strict limits on abortion than whites who score low on these measures. This is part of a larger picture in which racial attitudes are increasingly linked with opinions on a wide range of disparate issues including social welfare issues, gun control, immigration and even climate change. The fact that opinions on all of these issues are now closely interconnected and connected with racial attitudes is a key factor in the deep polarization within the electorate that contributes to high levels of straight ticket voting and a declining proportion of swing voters."

Unpack that and you have the essence of republican voters, antivaxxer sentiment and abortion rights and why they do what they do! 

Do you catorgize all people according to the color of their skin?

I guess you didn't read what you are commenting on? 

I also urge you to try and see the bigger picture on anything that you read. It's generally a culmination of previous opinions that's being evaluated and discussed.

Nah hey? He's only stayed that he's ashamed to be a "white man" and went on to disparage a racial group in a different post.

So another one bites the dust! Bob Enyart a controversial antivaxxer, homophobic, right wing talk radio guy has died from Covid. 

I'm telling you that Covid is decimating right wingers, left and right ?? and I'm not sorry. Except for their DNA, I don't see how they contribute, I'm talking about people like Enyart and politicians etc. They have large audiences whom they influence in a myriad of stupidity and we the people have to pay. 

The thing is that I bet 90% of republican politicians are vaccinated! 

Wow. Do you think like that about your patients?

Who was this "quoting"  and posting a quote without explanation is advocating the content.

Why? That sends like an unnecessary exercise.
