@ArmenianJohn I never said I was forced by my wife, I live with her parents and grandparents, why am I even explaining this to you? It's like it's not enough that I say I felt forced you have to point out that it was family and not the government that forced me to get the vaccine, when in fact it is the government that required lockdowns and is promoting the vaccine through media etc.
You don't have to explain anything to me or anyone else. Nobody is forcing you to.
I think it's important to note that there's a difference between 'feeling' forced and actually being forced. It's a matter of blaming - when someone "feels" something and blames another person or thing for their feeling then they are taking away their own control and giving it over to something or someone else in order to then blame it.
Even still you are reverting to the government claiming that their requirement of lockdowns and promoting the vaccine is the cause of your feeling forced.
I don't know why you're upset with me just for breaking it down. What have I said that is wrong?
And the "mote in my eye" comment come on man really?
Oh, was I wrong?
I've already apologized dude and I'm gonna leave it at that this is going nowhere. You're clearly not seeing how one sided and biased the promotion of the vaccine is, and your stating that I still had a choice.
I know the difference between an empty and real apology. I apologize if you are unable to understand and feel differently, please forgive me for your shortcomings in that.
My choice was between not having a place to live plus a job to feed myself OR getting the vaccine.
Plain and simple. If you can't see that then I'm sorry.
Sorry, I can't see that. I especially can't see how the government is doing the forcing in that and I don't even see how your family can force you if you're the head of the family.
I honestly don't know what you want me to say? Do you want me to just agree with you and glorify the distribution of this vaccine and the fact that as you said in the OP that indoor businesses are requiring proof of vaccine in order to enter?
I don't want you to say anything in particular. But if you are going to complain about being "forced" then back it up with facts, OR admit that you're not being "forced" but rather are making choices in order to appease others because it's the easier option.
If you're going to tell me you have no faith in the vaccines but that you got one anyway then don't expect me (or others) to just accept that. I'm not the only one who noticed you said that and I'm not the only one who called you out on it. It rings hollow when you say you have no faith in something which your actions demonstrate a faith in.
Because here's a thought not everyone agrees with that statement or news report dude. And I'm one of them.
Great! Fantastic! Don't agree with me!
But if you're going to LOL at me every other post and give me doubletalk then I'll question it and point it out. If you're going to claim that the vaccine is "forced" and then provide examples that don't back that up, I'll point it out. If you're going to claim you have no faith in vaccine but that you got it then I'll point out that your actions make the statement that you DO have faith enough in the vaccine to get it.
What do you want from me? You want me to just say "Oh, OK, well if you feel forced then the government is obviously tyrannical and way out of line" or "wow, poor you, I can't believe your job is forcing you" or "wow, poor you, sorry your family is making you get a vaccine you have no faith in"? Or "oh, you're right, the vaccine is not good and is killing people and the only reason anyone gets it or even should get it is if FORCED by others to do so, otherwise everything positive you read about it is a lie dude, cuz I don't buy that media reporting stuff dude, and you should all think like mE! Lol!"
Say what you want, don't say what you want.... This is a discussion forum, and if you say something then someone may respond and may disagree and may point out what they think is inaccurate in what you said. If you don't like that, that's fine, but don't get mad at the person for discussin with you even if it's in disagreement.
