Questioning authority has nothing to do with conspiracies, it has to do with trust.

Granted, trust can be broken by conspiracies which have come to light but the lack of trust is not the conspiracy.

Censorship is not always a conspiracy.
There are things which the average person doesn't need to know, shouldn't know and doesn't involve them personally.

Governments have secrets. Not all secrets are conspiracies.
Some secrets are secret to keep the average citizen safe.
Some secrets are kept to prevent civil panic or unrest because not all the facts can be revealed.

An agenda does not necessarily mean conspiracy.

A conspiracy is a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful.

When considering governments, 'harmful' is intended to mean the citizens of said government. Just because you consider it harmful to you doesn't mean it is harmful to the average citizen.

Real government conspiracies do happen but not as often as many believe.

The world must be flat otherwise we would all fall off, you must be an "extremist" if you think it is round. Last time I checked this is the Science and Philosophy section, not the "Politically Correct" section. Things are not always black and white, or what we are told to believe. It takes an open mind to think outside the box that has been formed around us. Science has been a big part of human development, making things up has also been a big part of what makes us human. An "intelligent" person should be more open to different views and understand that they have been programmed to believe what the man wants them to believe. Selfish is one of humans most powerful traits, I see it more and more each day in people. Some know that they are selfish and try to compensate for it, while others are just clueless and therefore unable to open their minds to others. Selfish is keeping Grandma alive while she is in pain and hooked up to machines just because you are afraid to let go of a life. In nature if you take an animal out of a nest and put it back often times the mother will reject or kill it even if there is nothing wrong with it. People forget that people are animals too, but humans have altered much of their natural instinct for better and worse. I really do wish they would teach people in the "8th grade" to think a little deeper into why things are the way they are, and that they are not required to conform to everything their elders have taught them. Things like religion should be chosen by the user, not passed down by each generation. The problem with the pandemic is so much of it needed to be rushed thru without any science involved. The "experts" had maybe 2 or 3 months getting to know the virus. Would you want me operating on you after 2 or 3 months of studying it? Do masks really make things better? Or worse? Maybe the stop the occasional bodily guild from coming into contact? Or maybe touching the mask makes it easier to transmit? Or maybe breathing the same warm air helps incubate the virus? The data is not out there. What are the long term affects of the vaccines? How long will the vaccine last? What about mutated viruses? There is so much that is just a guess and yet the high up politicians took control often disagreeing with other politicians and waving their magic wand like a dictator. Every time you get into a car you have a risk of dying, yet billions of people do it everyday. Everything in life has its risks, and sooner or later everyone of us will die from something.

How much of this is still democratic when a large group thinks and chooses and then gets excluded and robbed of their freedom?
Why can't you even open up to see the other side of it all? Even to entertain the possibility of you having had the wool pulled over your eyes?
How can you agree with loads of people that will be robbed of their freedom? How is THAT democracy? How is THAT not selfish?
Comparing this to drinking and driving is like comparing tomatoes and cheese. it makes no sense whatsoever.

You now call lots of people -including me- selfish? Do you feel that's right, only because I exercise my right of freedom and my right to choose?
Anne Frank was one Jew, 6 million were murdered.
Would you agree if the people who choose to remain natural would be put in camps?
How far does your conviction go and how far would you be willing to go to condemn other people who have a different belief -which should be their right if it was truly a democracy.
Would you be fine if I was confined to my home for the rest of my life? Or put in a camp, forced to do labour work, be experimented on, barely given any food? Ridded of my own clothes and belongings, forced to wear camp clothes?
Who are you and others like you to rob me of my democratic rights and the freedom to choose, to live a dignified, human-worthy life?
In a democracy one group of people do NOT have the right to rob other people of their rights and freedom. So how is your conviction congruent with democracy? It is fascistic or communistic.
How have you then not been brainwashed to step out of democratic thinking into fascistic thinking?

Just questions to consider, not to answer.

We're truly not far away from people who chose the vaccine, and the ones who are scared, to condone all this and forcing the other group into a real bad situation.
So... who's selfish here...

Open-minded is part of the tolerance movement fostered by progressice liberals and it goes something like this: if you try every drug you'll eventually be cured. Obviously it might kill you first, or worse. It's a gamble but not impossible. Opposites may attract but they also disagree alot.

We don't need excuses. So why is a 13 year old boy running around with a 21 year old thug at 2:30 in the morning? The police call was for shots fired. Toledo ran from the cop until he got to a fence where he threw the GUN he was holding as he was putting up his hands. Its a split second decision on the cop to shot or be shot. Shot first and ask questions later if you want to live another day. Not sure why this story is relevant unless you are trying to prove it is not only black people being killed by cops.

Banning ‘assault weapons’ won’t stop these attacks. If someone is hell bent on shooting innocent bystanders they will use whatever weapon is available. To think if these weapons are banned than these attacks will stop is just plain naive. I don’t think we have heard about this guys background. He may have been able to own a gun.

Define "assault weapon" sorry to burst your bubble but there can be no such thing since assault is a verb not an adjective.

The shooter was a rabid anti-Trumper and another left wing nut like 99.999% of the mass shooters have been.

The weapon had nothing to do with anything EXCEPT Piglosi and Feinstein are trying to ram thru an "assault weapons" ban and conveniently a leftie nut job committed a mass assault. Funny how that happens every time.

Of course the largest amount of people shot dead by a mass shooter was in Texas in the 70's when a lone gunman with a 4 round bolt action Remington rifle shot over 30 from the bell tower at the university.

Facts really suck don't they and no if you are for bans, waiting periods, universal background checks and all the other leftie wing tripe you are NOT a gun owner but a troll shill.

I can see you feeling safe again. Because Biden is. such a wimp he will probably give in to anything China wants. Biden wants to apologize for America while Trump was defending our rights and status as a nation.
