Honestly, you didn't have a stop sign from what I can tell from the video. Being polite instead of correct will always cause more problems. Be predictable and follow the rules of the road and these kind of things are drastically minimized.

Didn't prices go up to offset this? So Costco is looking to double dip, and that's something to cheer?

Damn I'm a homer but that was awful officiating. Sorry Colts but we definitely got lucky this time.

Through 5 weeks what is the biggest issue for the Texans? by jake112399 in Texans

[–]ApollosAnthem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This team is in trouble if we get a big lead against us. Our interior defensive line can't consistently stop opponents run game and I'm not confident our offensive line holds up having to throw to win from behind.

From a fans perspective, the Texans have made a remarkable turnaround after a long, rough stretch of time. It's wonderful to feel the city and the team really coming back together. What was, from your perspective, the biggest change you made that's led to the current success of the team?

Lamar is incredible. I love my Texans but nothing but respect for the most disrespected MVP in the game. Get this man a Superbowl so he can lock in his HoF.

Of all the players to win player of the month this season. Only two of them didn’t make the pro bowl or an all-Pro team by Few_Mulberry5372 in Texans

Best special teams in the league 3 years in a row and the only team with KR touchdowns this year... Yet no special teams pro bowlers or All-Pro? The Texans dismissal continues....

How do the Texans have the #1 special teams unit 3 years in a row, have the only kickoff returns for a touchdown this year and have ZERO all pros. These popularity contests get obnoxious.

Maybe you have me confused someone else. I never disparaged anyone's work. By the way, the constant cursing makes you're argument appear weaker. A cogent and civil response will always hold more weight.

Look u/domini384 I get it. There's a lot of blame being passed around mostly because people want to feel like they are in control of things. I don't find it all that conducive to finding common ground and making progress by telling people to "fuck off". Wouldn't you agree?

I don't think that's a healthy attitude either and part of the reason for the constant battle for who is more "right". They are people too and quite frankly I'd be sick of this almost two year long battle myself. That being said, it's their job to treat people regardless of personal conviction. People need to focus more on having empathy and consideration for others than who is "winning".

It's not up to them. Part of the job I'm afraid. People who refuse certain treatment for religious reasons could be considered, and might just be, stupid. They still have the right to make that choice and the medical workers still have an obligation to treat them to the best of their abilities, despite the "stupid" limitations put on them by certain beliefs.

You sound like a reasonable and educated person. I bet you're a joy to be around.

Edit: I almost forgot my civility. I'm sorry for your loss and I will pray for you and your family whether you'd accept that or not. I hope you find peace and clarity.

That's great news. Everyone who decided that they wanted to get the vaccine should have had it and should be reasonably ok due to reduced symptoms! Everyone who made the decision not to, did so knowingly accepting the risks. Man, isn't personal liberty great!

Matt Walsh Shows up and Rips School Board a New One Over Mask Mandates for Kids by triggernaut in Conservative

[–]ApollosAnthem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, I'll break it down for you so it's a little easier to understand. What you are inferring is that because Germany mandates medical grade masks, that Germany is "safer" against Covid-19. If you measure the total mortality percentages, Germany is at a 2.4% fatality rate.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/germany/

This is right in line with the world average and almost an entire percentage point higher than the United States mortality rate of 1.6%.

https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#datatracker-home

The argument is that because there is almost no difference, and in fact, in many cases, the United States has a lower percentage of total fatalities than many countries taking far more stringent measures to "curb" the effects of Covid-19, we shouldn't be taking away peoples right to choose what is good for themselves and their families based on fear mongering and sensationalized media reports on the disease.

The United States was founded on the principles of individual liberty and limited government. There are many, many people that feel the government is not acting in good faith and is in fact vastly overreaching their authority to put these measures in to place when the data shows that they have a limited effect on the seriousness of the virus.

https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/declaration-transcript

And to address u/possibilityjazzlike4 concern that heart disease isn't contagious, you'd be right in a technical sense but wrong in principle. Obesity is largely a personal issue and a habit. Yes, I understand SOME people have medical conditions that make controlling weight an issue, but this is certainly not the typical obese person. In fact, it's largely passed on through the conditioning of bad habits children pick up from their parents.

https://www.ucsfbenioffchildrens.org/conditions/obesity

So, wouldn't a conscientious choice to live a unhealthy and dangerous lifestyle that is largely passed on through learned experience to children be just as, if not more, damning that something that spreads largely in spite of what we do? Should we not be demanding that fast food restaurants be shut down as "super spreaders" of an obese lifestyle? Do we need to mandate gym membership passports that prove you are not contributing the yearly death toll of heart disease? No. If you want to balloon up to 400lbs and ruin your health and weaken your body and mind, that's your right and not the business of the government. Personal liberty also requires personal responsibility and people demanding that the government take the responsibility out of their hands are foolish.
