It's not even the same thing. Those uniformed people took a UNIFORMED, SAY CERTAIN THINGS WHEN YOU GREET PEOPLE job to begin with. A drug test isn't injecting a vaccine into their body. It's the same thing. Not even close. |

This is nothing new. Businesses have always had requirements for employees.
It's completely new. MOST people never had to have a vaccine to get their jobs and now they are forcing it or lose the job that some have had for 20, 30 or 40 years. Because we had a pandemic. Many jobs have all sorts of rules/requirements for their employees. Some are social, some medical, sometimes even political. At my job we were not allowed to wear or display anything political. We has to get fingerprinted and have background checks. Some places require a yearly physical. These are all requirements. The Covid vaccine is just a newer requirement. Not wearing something political, getting fingerprinted, having a background check, or getting a physical, are nowhere near equal to having a drug injected into your body. |

Not the covid vaccine. It isn't a choice for most. Sure it is. Nobody forces you to get it. Businesses have every right to make requirements of their employees. I had to have proof of vaccines for my job. We also had to get a hepatitis vaccine one year. Everyone in the school district had to have it. The Covid vaccine is no different. If you don’t want a vaccine, you are free to look for another job. This is nothing new. Businesses have always had requirements for employees. A business can. A government should not. |

I'd love not to have to qualify that I'm pro vaccine, but when you state that you are against vaccine mandates people decide that means you're a far right, anti vax trump supporter which couldn't be further from the truth for me. I dont think refusing a vaccine is heroic, nor do I think it is a smart choice for most but I still don't think its something people should be coerced into taking under the threat of losing their jobs. This is the problem IMO, the argument has become so polarised and I worry this doesnt covince anyone to change their mind and will have long term effects on the uptake of other vaccines. voters who have made it clear they don’t ever want to be told what to do, by anyone. They're making it clear that they don't want a government that tells them they MUST inject a particular drug into their body in order to participate in society. Many of them have even been vaccinated. They just don't want a tyrannical government. |

I think it's odd how quick many democrats are to come down against a largely working class driven protest movement tbh. These truckers were putting themselves at risk throughout the pandemic to deliver goods to people who were able to stay home and protect themselves and now those same people are happy to call them selfish idiots. I personally think vaccine mandates are not only wrong but also counterproductive in the long term, even though I am 100% pro vaccine so I support the protests in that sense. I think the people against the protests are naive in many ways as giving the goverment powers to mandate medical treatments could end very badly if someone more nefarious than Biden (or even Trump) becomes president any time soon. Oh, hello again. If there is one thing that’s consistent in your posts on this topic, it’s your ability to enter late into a multi page topic lacking any nuance or context of previous discussion, in your take. Do you also know how often you qualify to say this in all of them? “even though I am 100% pro vaccine” It’s quite fascinating, really. 😏 I mean, I am too - but I never feel the need to qualify it every single time I say something. No one would feel the need to say it, if you all didn't repeatedly conflate anti-mandate with anti-vax. Just as you conflate being against illegal border crossing as being flat out anti-immigrant. If there's one thing you all are consistent with is your seeming inability to disagree with someone without changing what they actually said into something they absolutely did not say. consistent |

Vaccine mandates have been in place for the small pox and other vaccines since the Revolutionary war and they have not lead to broader powers.
People never lost their jobs and healthcare because they weren't vaxed against small pox, or mumps or measles or hepatitis or pertussis or diphtheria. This is simply not true. Many jobs, including military service, require vaccines. Equating military requirements with civilian jobs is not a true comparison. |

I think there are some assumptions and misinformation in your post. If the truckers were having a peaceful protest that wasn’t disruptive, they might have more support. The Democrats are not coming down on them because of their jobs, we value and appreciate the work they do. We are opposed to their actions - blocking downtown streets, harassing pedestrians, blaring horns all day, blocking a border crossing etc. The blocked border crossing led to Ford and GM cancelling shifts at their factories. We support the auto workers who lost wages and the people in downtown Ottawa who have had to contend with the noisy, disruptive truckers for 2 solid weeks. Vaccine mandates are strictly that - requiring a vaccine, nothing more. They do not give governments greater powers for other medical treatments. Vaccine mandates have been in place for the small pox and other vaccines since the Revolutionary war and they have not lead to broader powers. Protests that don't cause any disruption at all are very easily ignored by the powers that be and highly unlikely to lead to any meaningful change imo. That doesnt mean they have to be violent but they do have to have some sort of an impact (which can include noise). Furthermore vaccine mandates to access non health care related jobs in your own country are not remotely the same thing as the vaccine mandates that were in place before the pandemic. It's not much of a reach to see how the enthustiac acceptance of 'no jab no job' could easily be extended to other forms of medical treatment. Protests that don't cause any disruption at all are very easily ignored by the powers that be and highly unlikely to lead to any meaningful change imo. That doesnt mean they have to be violent but they do have to have some sort of an impact (which can include noise). Which is exactly what those objecting NOW said to those objecting to the major disruptions and aggressive intimidation in 2020. |

Let’s all remember that you recently had to admit that you brought an article to this board in an attempt at a “gotcha” but had actually been taken in by a partisan writer who was just confirming your own biases. Yes, I posted an article from a Left leaning source and after some discussion of the issue and discussing the subjects non-existent reputation for speaking like that, not to mention the article was shown to be written by someone who used to write for the Blaze, I conceded that it wasn't as the writer presented it. It happens. It's what you do when it does, that shows who you are. You're making sure we see you. It was NOT a gotcha, and I never said it was. It’s not the first time that has happened, btw, though it was the first time you conceded it. You're right, in that it wasn't the first time I got it wrong. You're so very, very wrong that it was the first time I conceded that I was wrong. So far off. There was at least one other instance where you copied and pasted false and misleading words from a propaganda site article and used them as your own. NO, that did not happen. Where? Link it. And of course there’s the whole matter of you continuing to insist that you are not the pea we all know you are, who has been here for years. That’s very dishonest. No, I've NEVER said who I was and I've NEVER said who I wasn't. On any of the guesses/accusations. So no, I've never been dishonest about who I was. If you TRULY think I did and aren't just throwing out baseless accusations to see what sticks again, then link it. Does being caught out in instances like that ever cause you to reflect about whether many of your other cherished beliefs come from a place of misinformation and bias? If not, you’ve got no business telling anyone else about honesty. You’re not even capable of being honest with yourself. I haven't been caught out in anything. Back up your accusations with facts, not your written VERSION of them. Link them. I at least admit when I'm wrong. You on the other hand do nothing but try to deflect and make accusations when you make mistakes and then have the glaring lack of self awareness and character to ask ME if *I* reflect on MY mistakes.  But thanks for confirming that what they’re really protesting is a politician and not a real infringement on their rights. I did no such thing. WTH are you even talking about here. The rest of your post is your typical grievance bullshit and matters not at all to me. I stand by what I said about the babies in Ottawa protesting something that shouldn’t even be a blip on their radar. My entire post is spot on and given your lack of character explains why you have turned around every instance YOU fucked up and deflected it back on me by throwing baseless accusations at me. Like YOU bringing the comparison of the 2 protests here to this thread and then having absolutely no self awareness, try to say I'm divorced from reality for comparing the two. That is the ultimate display of YOU being so blatantly dishonest. Either that, or YOU are divorced from reality. You choose. |

Nah, I wouldn't say that about my mentions of it. Looking at my post history, I've never said the word until it was brought up by someone else. Then just like right now, all of my mentions have been in response to someone else bringing up the word as you did here. You have a point. It was a brief discussion, and you were responding to someone else. You did not appear to be a fan. Apologies for my lack of quoting skills. Jun 25, 2014 at 4:22pm huskergal said: For the peas who don't like the "Whataboutism", it is a forever fact of life. Obama got brought up constantly during the Trump presidency. It is what it is. You: It was NEVER acceptable when it came from conservatives. It was labeled as deflection, trolling, crazy, derailing the thread and all around demonized as nothing but a tactic. Interesting how it's now acceptable when it suits your deflection and tactics. And here: Jan 28, 2022 at 9:54am pixiechick said: I wasn't here then. If you all don't like it when conservatives did it and "you" tried to put a stop to it then, why is it suddenly acceptable now? Huskergal: I never said it was acceptable. I said it is what it is. It isn't going to change. As long as people are going to call out the sitting President for a behavior that the previous President did, and they didn't call out the previous President, whataboutism isn't going to change. Crap, Hillary got brought up by Trumpers and she wasn't even the President. You: You don't have to say it. When it was always called out with major piles-ons whenever a conservative did it and most aren't calling it out now, it IS acceptance. As has been stated just recently, silence is acceptance. So, hardly a tear. I misspoke. Certainly disapproval comes through. I will concede that whataboutisms have become part of the political discourse.Only since the Left wants to use it. When anyone on the Right did, the overwhelming majority (Left) would not allow it to be. So yeah, that's where the disapproval you're picking up comes from. |

I don't think what I said was "going on a tear", but let me clarify... What does going on a tear mean to you? To me it means a burst of activity, a spree if you like. Nah, I wouldn't say that about my mentions of it. Looking at my post history, I've never said the word until it was brought up by someone else. Then just like right now, all of my mentions have been in response to someone else bringing up the word as you did here. |

It might be if I was the one that brought the subject of the 2020 riots to this thread. That would be Merge. Page 2, post 13. What I said before about it is that it's been the Left here for years, dismissing any and all comparisons coming from the Right as "whataboutism". So with the current proliferation of "whataboutism coming from the Left, you can see now that, it seems to be okay if the Left does it. They just don't allow it from the Right. No hypocrisy there. I might be misremembering, but I thought that you went on a tear about whataboutism not long ago. But maybe that was someone else. 🤔 I don't think what I said was "going on a tear", but let me clarify... What does going on a tear mean to you? |

The police didn't shoot David Dorn for defending his friend's pawn shop. The police didn't didn't burn another pawn shop down with Oscar Stewart a father of 5, inside. The police didn't burn a federal courthouse and run a police station out of a community that needed it. The police didn't attack the police and cause hundreds of injuries. The police didn't loot, trash, burn and destroy all the businesses, many of them black owned. The police didn't cause billions in damages across the country. You're one that EXCUSED, deflected and dismissed the violence, death and destruction of 2020 when you agreed with the protest, who is now demanding outrage from conservatives over a protest you disagree with. Stop defending the violence and your breath taking hypocrisy. Correct me if I’m wrong-and I know that you will- but I was under the impression that you disliked whataboutism. Is what you wrote not whataboutism? This thread, after all, is about Canadian trucker protests.What I said before about it is that it's been the Left here for years, dismissing any and all comparisons coming from the Right as "whataboutism". So with the current proliferation of "whataboutism coming from the Left, you can see now that, it seems to be okay if the Left does it. They just don't allow it from the Right. No hypocrisy there. |

You're one that EXCUSED, deflected and dismissed the violence, death and destruction of 2020 when you agreed with the protest, who is now demanding outrage from conservatives over a protest you disagree with. Stop defending the violence and your breath taking hypocrisy. Gia, pixiechick, you have no business schooling anyone on hypocrisy. As I stated above, I do see a moral difference between the protests. BLM protests were against continuing disproportionate police violence against black people - a complaint that had gone largely unheard until the last few years, and which, sadly, required some extreme measures to bring people’s attention to the matter. Decades of quiet, peaceful protest had failed to bring about change, and have even often been mocked and scorned by people on the right committed to keeping the status quo. And yes, in many cases the police escalated or committed the violence themselves. I did not say in all cases. The Ottawa thing is a bunch of babies who think their rights are being trampled by a paper mask or who have been convinced by YouTube that the vaccine may be dangerous. Their rage is fueled by nothing more than the typical conservative grievance narrative and a hefty dose of delusion. Just like the people who stormed the Capitol and tried to overthrow a fair and free election in this country. False victimhood and delusion. Trying to draw any kind of equivalency between these two actions shows just how divorced from reality you are. I'm not schooling anyone. Just pointing out the facts. If they happen to show your astounding hypocrisy  you should have thought of that before you displayed it. I do see a moral difference between the protests. I don't believe that for a second. Everything you say discredits your own statement. If you truly and honestly saw a moral difference you wouldn't need to reduce FORCING a population to submit to injections whether they need them or not, to "being babies about a paper mask". You know damn good and well that if Trump had enacted vaccine mandates the Left would've lost their ever-loving minds. Decades of quiet, peaceful protest had failed to bring about change, and have even often been mocked and scorned by people on the right committed to keeping the status quo. The hell they did. We have seen so much change for the better in this country. For decades. What decade are you living in? We have come so far from decades ago. Don't conflate this with me saying there's no more racism, which we both know is nothing more than a dismissal of facts you don't like. And stop conflating racists with all people on the Right. It does a disservice to whatever your message is. The Ottawa thing is a bunch of babies who think their rights are being trampled by a paper mask or who have been convinced by YouTube that the vaccine may be dangerous. Their rage is fueled by nothing more than the typical conservative grievance narrative and a hefty dose of delusion. The way you stated that is nothing more than an amoral, completely dishonest justification for saying you can only protest what WE agree with. All while claiming in 2020 that the people who objected to the violence, murder and destruction going on then, just didn't want people to protest for black lives. Yes, that was a common dismissal and it's bullshit. Trying to draw any kind of equivalency between these two actions shows just how divorced from reality you are. YOU trying to remove NOW, the equivalency between these two protests THAT YOU YOURSELF BROUGHT TO THIS VERY THREAD, is nothing more than your really bad - really, really bad (a true fail) attempt to dismiss the hypocrisy YOU personally displayed, shows how utterly and completely dishonest you are. |

Charges being filed in Dallas today remind us that a fair amount of the violence in the BLM demonstrations in the US was committed or incited not by protestors, but by the police. That’s not just my thought, either. The police didn't shoot David Dorn for defending his friend's pawn shop. The police didn't didn't burn another pawn shop down with Oscar Stewart a father of 5, inside. The police didn't burn a federal courthouse and run a police station out of a community that needed it.

I will have to disagree with this. If your vehicle is touching something you are hitting it. That is not semantics. The tree branch was hitting the window does not imply with speed and destruction, it means it was touching the window. I vividly remember this interaction, and while yes she did clarify that she wasn’t going to ram them, she did indicate that she would hit them and push them out of the way if they tried to stop her from getting through to where she needed to go. There really is nothing to dispute. Wrong point to try and say gotcha on in my opinion. Ya' know, I might be inclined to agree with you IF zima didn’t leave this part out: "I'd move them out of my way by slowly moving my car forward." when zima continued to push the word "hit". |

But *your* freedom isn't important, only *theirs* is. You must have forgotten that part.   Also, I've finally sat down to read this long thread after seeing a story on CNN yesterday about it. I will confess that I haven't been paying a lot of attention, although of course I'd heard of it. I am wondering what's brought this thread to 7 pages, lol. We will see... Not sure I'll have time to read the whole thing before I have to go to school.  Yep, I know. 😏 Always is. Why is it 7 pages? In summary…multiple Dunning-Krugers have decided to inform Canadians that they have no idea what is going on their country, and are trying to re-educate them. Thankfully, Canadians aren’t having any of that, hence 7 pages. 😬 No, it's 7 pages (now 9) because multiple self-righteous ass-hats deflected and dismissed the violence, death and destruction of 2020 when they agreed with the protest and are now demanding outrage from conservatives over a protest they disagree with. |

Calling you out for your dishonesty, (on standards set by you/your buddies) is not defending it, and you know it. But keep trying to back peddle out of where YOU went wrong. 
Thanks for making my points for me by being unable to follow a discussion, argue the points at hand, respond w/evidence, etc.
Just own your mistake already. It's already been shown that YOU are the one not following the discussion. It's verifiable. Or keep going. Keep showing how dishonest you are. Your choice. |

Yes "hit them". That's what she said. Her "clarification" didn't negate her original intent. To use her 2 ton vehicle to get her way by "moving people" out of her path (hit them) when they were protesting. That's sick and it's sicker that you're still here defending it. Calling you out for your dishonesty, (on standards set by you/your buddies) is not defending it, and you know it. But keep trying to back peddle out of where YOU went wrong.

"Personally I think it’s members of..." not anything about "the truckers not being a fringe minority". Yes. Because you're arguing the wrong point. My point about her making claims was about her original claim was (and repeated here) ""It" was in reference to trudeau saying it was a small fringe minority of people/truckers. It's not a small fringe minority. It's gaining strength daily. Again, I never said the "majority are against mandates". " That is a claim. Ur welcome. YOU were the one arguing the wrong point, as I showed. With actual facts. Stop being so dishonest by trying to back peddle your way out of what you said and did. |

No, you did not post her words in their entirety. A clarification is NOT beside the point, as you are suddenly claiming. If it wasn't when I didn't include the clarification, then it isn't when YOU didn't include it. She said she would HIT THEM. She later clarified while she wouldn't KILL THEM she would still HIT THEM. Ur welcome. She CLARIFIED: "I'd move them out of my way by slowly moving my car forward. I NEVER said KILL!! Geez." Not "hit them" Hit them implies with speed and destruction. What she said does not. And once again, no, you did not post her words in their entirety. A clarification is NOT beside the point, as you are suddenly claiming. If it wasn't when I didn't include the clarification, then it isn't when YOU didn't include it. Just for once, you should hold yourself and your side to a set of standards. It's dishonest to demand them from others, but refuse to hold yourself to them. Stop being so damn dishonest. |

I didn't say she'd kill anyone. I posted her words in their entirety. She posted about "well geez, I wouldn't kill them" later and it's beside the point. The POINT is she'd HIT them! No, you did not post her words in their entirety. A clarification is NOT beside the point, as you are suddenly claiming. If it wasn't when I didn't include the clarification, then it isn't when YOU didn't include it. Just for once, you should hold yourself and your side to a set of standards. It's dishonest to demand them from others, but refuse to hold yourself to them. Yes, in that instance she said "I think". If you were paying attention, you'd realize I was calling her out on her other statements about the truckers not being a fringe minority - which she stated AS A FACT. FFS. Can you at least pay attention and argue the points that are being presented.YOU'RE the one not paying attention to even what YOU, yourself are doing. The quote YOU quoted her on was HER response to a question about her saying "I THINK" "It’s my OPINION, it’s a thought. I never said it was a fact." THAT is what YOU quoted. Which if you look at page 6, 8th post down you'll see that when she said it she was referencing "Personally I think it’s members of..." not anything about "the truckers not being a fringe minority". So YOU are the one that needs to pay attention to the points being presented. NOT me. |

You all do realize that the mask/vax card mandates are going to be gone in probably a few short months, don't you?? I for one, can't wait to be done with the ridiculousness and hypocrisy that these politicians have caused.... Several Democrats are already pulling back on their mask mandates. You're definitely out of the loop on that one. It is not peaceful. Demonstrators harassed a soup kitchen demanding free food. They have been harassing ordinary citizens out walking about with a mask on. They have defaced the Terry Fox statue and the Unknown Soldier memorial. And just this week some tried to start a fire in an apartment building and tape the doors shut. I don't give a shit what people say about masks and whether they work or not - it is hurting NOBODY for a person to be out and about in a crowd, trying to get to work, to wear a mask. NO reason at all to harass them and threaten them. Summer of 2020 we had looting here, cops attacked, cars destroyed, aggressive intimidation and harassment by people with a large mob backing them up- intimidation of people minding their own business eating outside at restaurants, people getting IN their face and screaming aggressively at them to "say his name", they had no idea the person they were screaming at was on their side nor do I think they cared, grabbing a seat at someone's table at another place -eating their food, drinking their drink and daring them to do anything (once again, with a giant mob behind them) same thing just walking by outside diners at another, attempted murder by arson, actual murder by arson, billions of dollars of damage to cities, etc. A state senator and his wife were mobbed by a threatening crowd screaming at him to "say her name", the cops could barely protect them as they made their way out of a building. These were all DISMISSED AS "MOSTLY PEACEFUL" by the same people outraged about THIS protest. And mocking and fighting anyone who objected to what was happening all across the country. It's OK for Republicans to protest for selfish "freedoms", but Democrats protesting for racial justice is unacceptable and needs a crackdown. Link to one time anyone here said it was NOT okay to protest for racial injustice. Just one. "“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” - George Orwell This is where the "BELIEVERS" are now." Interesting take from Mike Rowe on Let's Go Brandon" that goes along with your point: How discussion works is when you make a claim, you provide evidence for the claim. The problem with that is the majority here don't accept any fact that goes against their beliefs. Even when it's from their own accepted sources. Protests notwithstanding, nearly 90% of Canada's truckers are fully vaccinated and eligible to cross the border, the Canadian government said. Doesn't mean many of them aren't against the mandates and participating in the protest. Protesting is fine. Taking over a downtown for days is not. Not for left or right. No matter how mad you are, you have no right to ruin someone’s trade and constantly disturb residents. You didn't object to it in 2020. I will say it again (and probably again and again) you are always going to get your nutbags waving a horrible flag. Its not anywhere near a white supremacist/nazi rally.  "Today in the House, Members of Parliament unanimously condemned the antisemitism, Islamophobia, anti-Black racism, homophobia, and transphobia that we've seen on display in Ottawa over the past number of days. Together, let's keep working to make Canada more inclusive." Said by this guy:  Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau And people who destroyed property should have been arrested and charged. Don’t forget though ,that some of the violence involved clashes between left an right-wing groups. But yep, if you are setting fires or destroying property, then your ass should be in jail. Low bail and Kamala encouraging people to donate to get them out of jail, wasn't much of a deterrent. It encouraged it to keep happening. No, they have just taken over the downtown for days, Since Jan 29th, and clogged the area with their vehicles. They have harassed residents and kept them awake with their air horns. Again, that was dismissed and defended in Portland. It's a peaceful protest!!! And it didn't matter at that time to all who were justifying the riots during summer 2020. Once again Those people carrying Trump flags and confederate flags and nazi symbols can just piss the hell off! I don't think ANYONE here disagrees with you. Poor truckers, being asked to get a shot. No, they are NOT being ASKED. THAT'S the problem. I believe you are correct. 2peasrefugees.boards.net/post/1542054/thread Feb 20, 2017 at 5:22pm Post by cindosha on Feb 20, 2017 at 5:22pm So should protesters who stand in traffic, block freeways, etc. I swear that if a protester stopped me in my car from getting where I wanted to go, I'd hit 'em. Cindy I thought it was a no-no here to leave out context? You completely left out her clarification: "I didn't say anything about killing anyone. I'd move them out of my way by slowly moving my car forward. I NEVER said KILL!! Geez." You also left out the other peas who agreed with her and who they are. According to Olan it was at least 10? Context? That doesn't apply to you? Many peas have shown actual facts and evidence that it's not peaceful and yet you continue to deny and deflect. Sounds like 2020 all over again. Just like many on the left said we support protests for racial justice but condemn the violence. When something is your opinion, you say "I think X"... So, if it's your opinion that these protests are "peaceful", state it that way. In fact, that is EXACTLY what she said AND did. "Personally I THINK it’s members of the left or progressives who are infiltrating the protest and doing all the crazy confederate/nazi flag waving bullshit there." Take your own advice, zima "Be intellectually rigorous. Identify your biases, your prejudices, your privileges." |

Surveillance video appears to show anti-vaccine protesters trying to set apartment building on fire That is so beyond crazy. That could have been mass murder. I’m glad it was put out but what about the next time. I can’t imagine being able to sleep until they were gone knowing that some of them were willing to do something so extreme. What does anti vax have to do with an apartment building full of innocent people. Where ARE all the peas who were so mad about the destruction of property at the George Floyd demonstrations? They're all probably still waiting for any of you to give a shit when the same damn thing was happening back in 2020 when riots broke out during protests that you agreed with. Burning buildings with people in them was dismissed back then and anyone that brought it up was demeaned and silenced. NOW you expect anyone to come and discuss this with you? Wow |

The vaccinated still get it and spread it too. Not to mention that a Johns Hopkins study has said that "While this meta-analysis concludes that lockdowns have had little to no public health effects, they have imposed enormous economic and social costs where they have been adopted. In consequence, lockdown policies are ill-founded." Most of the mandates are implemented by the PROVINCIAL governments. They are in Ottawa yelling at people who are wearing masks, protesting at Parliament Hill (the FEDERAL government). Masking mandates are a provincial matter. We aren't in lock down. Trudeau has never put us in lockdown. The Premiers of each province makes that decision. Vaccine passports are a provincial decision. Trudeau wants truckers vaccinated to enter the country. Even if he dropped that mandate, they still can't go to the US because you have the same requirement- Foreign truckers need to be vaccinated to enter the US. Vaccines are very effective at mitigating the risk of serious disease. Period. End of story. Okay, thank you for that, but that doesn't change anything I said in response to librarylady. |

Hate to break the news to them--but the people who won't vaccinate are the ones who are keeping the virus spreading, so it they are tired of lockdown--get vaccinated! The vaccinated still get it and spread it too. Not to mention that a Johns Hopkins study has said that "While this meta-analysis concludes that lockdowns have had little to no public health effects, they have imposed enormous economic and social costs where they have been adopted. In consequence, lockdown policies are ill-founded." |

The second one led me to an old (totally good-natured as far as I could see, I didn't dig deeply tho) pea blog that I never knew about. It's a synopsis of the weekly goings-on at the original 2Peas NSBR board and totally cracked me up. The apparent owner of that blog is still a pea  I clicked on dottyscrapper's link, how can you tell which pea owns that blog? |

When Smith (?, Samantha's young, blonde, model lover) left her the spring flowers by her bed after her mastectomy ♡ I really liked Samantha with Smith. |

My all time favorite scene from the original is the fashion show. The scene where she gets up and keeps going AFTER she trips on the runway. Best moment ever!
What's your favorite episode or scene?
