RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Big Pharma "Criminal" Influence On ResearchOk so these kids have a lot of work in front of them and most of them are coming from the lazy generation ( they don't do a day's work before the age of 15-16 , if that ) . They should maybe start by pulling down the pyramids or maybe the Colosseum in Rome . Even better go desecrate all the tombstones of the southern soldiers that died in the civil war. This is getting ridiculous , Seattle is a prime example . All these kids should have a lengthy talk with old people that suffered at the hands of truly abusive regimes and their police forces . They could start with Hatians that lived during Duvalier and the tonton macoutes or pinochet and his secret police ....the list is long . I haven't travelled much but I am sure there is a reason why millions of people dream of immigrating to the US and Canada . We are lucky not to be living under the Chinese regime , let's keep it that way . Buy American , buy Canadia Happy Thursday

His men dilebrately spread small pox.... Or, that is what they are taught. I don't think they know Columbus was hundreds of years before Pasteur/Lavoisier. Or, if they do know, it is now perfectly acceptible to project modern values onto historical figures.
There are a few holdouts: Liberty University, Oral Roberts, Hillsdale College, the one, I cant remember it's name, in the Ozarks where your kids can work for free tuition/room/board. And the one in Guatamala, I think. These are all Universities where free speech/thought are still valued.

vestor - going off topic - it seems to me you are American. Just watching the carry-on in Seattle where a gang of armed rebels have taken over a 7 square block area of downtown Seattle and are calling it a cop free zone. Going so far as holding business owners up for ransom money if they want to stay open. The Governor said a couple of hours ago that he was not aware of any problem.
I won't mention Virginia and the pushed over statue that has seriously injured someone.
The height of stupidity down there amazes me more and more every day. I sure hope it is not as contagious as Covid-19. I guess I'm just too old to understand.
Yeah, gone are the days when you were allowed to look at a historical figure and use your own brain to recognize the who and the where and how it all fit together. You're not allowed to do that anyore I guess. You must march to the tune of the drummer -- and the drummer thinks he can erase history by tearing down statues and censoring cartoons and movies. There is a name for that isn't there? Is that where the vote is going in November? Venezuela anyone? With AOC and Ilham in the driver's seat taking "good ole Joe" for a ride. It used to be good to go south for a while. People used to sing "California Dreamin' " or "California Here We Come". Not so much anymore. I remember the days of the greatest generation -- boy has that changed. Not sure what they will call this one -- although it does bring back memories of the late 60's and early 70's and we managed to turn that around - but we didn't stoop to killing and beheading the stone statues. We did at that time still keep some semblance of common sense -- and the lefty professor's were not of such an influence.
And, other than all that I see the market (Dow) is down over 900 points because the Fed said they will keep the low interest rates through 2022. People with mortgages should be happy but I guess the big money manipulators are not - and they run the market so they're taking their piece of flesh.
