This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Name calling is an excellent way of changing minds. by MarkinSeattle

Some of us can’t get this vaccine due to medical conditions, while others can but have higher risks. Calling someone stupid, lazy, selfish and an a$$hole because they are concerned about their health is divisive, alienating and does not reflect on you in a particularly good light.

You obviously feel strongly enough that I presume you have received the vaccine. That is great, you are protected if you come into contact. Why are you so angry about other people who are not vaccinated? If they feel they would be better off getting the virus naturally then that is their right and they might be correct. They are adults, they can make these decisions, just as they can make the decision to smoke, drink, go sky diving and rock climbing.

Medical decisions are hard and should be made by the person who has to live with the results.
