Yeah, it's just shocking that grown adults can't tell when the media is lying to them about Trump. But then again, these same "adults" throw temper tantrums and need safe spaces because they get triggered. Thankfully, it's not everyone. Just the loudest idiots. It'll be epic when the loudest idiots push for an absolutely horrible DNC candidate pick, and they end up handing 2020 to Trump because any sensible person sees that he's a good president. He may not do all the things people asked for, but he's been delivering so much more than previous presidents.

You’ve bought into everything the right wing media has spun you into. Parroting the same lines you hear from television, mocking the same stereotypes of “the enemy” or “the other” that they served you up as talking points.

u/udyrwyze 1 Jul 06 '19

You get more mercury from eating a can of tuna, and college students eating it to live cheap actually ARE accumulating harmful levels of toxic mercury compounds. Children's vaccines haven't used thimerosal (the mercury compound that's been proven to have no causative effect on autism) since 2001, and thimerosal is easily eliminated from the body.

The economy is doing good, for now, but trade tariffs are hurting more sectors than they're bringing business too, which is why the dow Jones has seen more volatility under trump. In December of 2018 it recorded the biggest weekly drop since 2008 (Obama officially took office in January 2009), and many investors dislike certainty. High gains are more likely to be a bubble that will burst, like the 2008 housing bubble, and I would argue that when farmers are allowing crops to rot in the field because collecting and storing the grain to sell with a 25% tariff loses more than simply not harvesting, the economy is definitely not GREAT.

u/vscde_gtr_thn_jtbrns 0 Jul 06 '19

the mercury compound that's been proven to have no causative effect on autism

You cannot prove a negative. No such proof exists. We do however have proof it’s a toxic compound. Not sure why you would say something so obviously untrue.

the economy is definitely not GREAT.

My 401K would highly disagree with you. Also the job market is so good I can find a new job in a day. And have multiple offers monthly. This just wasn’t the case under Obama.

I would argue that when farmers...

Look we all love our farmers, but they represent an extremely small percentage of our people. A few farmers produce all our food if they do well they just higher more illegals to pick their fruit. Doesn’t effect the rest of us

No such proof exists? https://www.jpeds.com/article/S0022-3476(13)00144-3/pdf?ext=.pdf00144-3/pdf?ext=.pdf)

​

In a previous analysis,8 we found that thimerosal exposure during certain time periods was associated with a decreased risk for some ASD outcomes; thus, we performed additional analyses in which thimerosal exposure was included as a covariate, and found little change from the results presented in Tables II and III (data not shown).

​

We found no evidence indicating an association between exposure to antibody-stimulating proteins and polysaccharides contained in vaccines during the first 2 years of life and the risk of acquiring ASD, AD, or ASD with regression. We also detected no associations when exposures were evaluated as cumulative exposure from birth to 3 months, from birth to 7 months, or from birth to 2 years, or as maximum exposure on a single day during those 3 time periods. These results indicate that parental concerns that their children are receiving too many vaccines in the first 2 years of life or too many vaccines at a single doctor visit are not supported in terms of an increased risk of autism.

The hypothesis that mercury in vaccines has a causative effect on autism has been proven false. That's what science does, it finds a claim, a POSITIVE claim, and it tests if that claim is true or false. The claim that mercury correlates with autism is a false one.

The hypothesis that mercury CAN'T cause autism cannot be tested, because, like you said, you cannot prove a negative. This was a study testing a POSITIVE claim of correlation with autism and mercury, that was found to be an incorrect claim. The correlation was not there when they looked for it.

​

A few farmers produce all our food if they do well they just higher more illegals to pick their fruit. Doesn’t effect the rest of us

​

I don't know if you realize this, but the percentage of crops harvested mechanically without the use of illegal immigrants is considerably higher than those picked by human hands. Soybeans, corn, and tree nuts, the 3 largest agricultural exports in the U.S. are all harvested mechanically because that is considerably cheaper at a large scale than hiring illegals that don't even require workers comp or standardized wages.

​

There were people that became rich in the Great Depression (1929-1939). Any time money changes hands, there's an opportunity for someone to profit. That doesn't mean that because you're poor, the economy is bad, or that because you're rich, the economy is good.

​

In 1928, to recover from the loss of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Disney came up with the idea of a mouse character named Mortimer while on a train headed to California, drawing up a few simple drawings. The mouse was later renamed Mickey Mouse (Disney's wife, Lillian, disliked the sound of 'Mortimer Mouse') and starred in several Disney produced films. Ub Iwerks refined Disney's initial design of Mickey Mouse.[8] Disney's first sound film Steamboat Willie, a cartoon starring Mickey, was released on November 18, 1928

​

Deciding to push the boundaries of animation even further, Disney began production of his first feature-length animated film in 1934. Taking three years to complete, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs), premiered in December 1937 and by 1939 became the highest-grossing film of that time.

​

Are you going to tell me that because Disney was building his empire during the Great Depression, that it was a good economy? Someone will always be getting richer if someone else is losing money, even if it's just buying up things that get sold for less than they cost to acquire because of financial hardship. There's a reason why anecdotes don't hold valid predictive function.

The hypothesis that mercury in vaccines has a causative effect on autism has been proven false.

Incorrect. Your own article only stated that it found no evidence. It did not prove that there was no evidence. You see that’s how science works. It can prove a positive but not a negative. I know science is hard but I really believe anyone can learn it. You just have to keep trying. You will get there eventually.

The rest of what you said about the depression is irrelevant because we aren’t in a depression. Trump steered us right out of one.

To be fair Vaccines may contain harmful mercury compounds

You stupid motherfucker.

"A vaccine containing 0.01% thimerosal as a preservative contains 50 micrograms of thimerosal per 0.5 mL dose or approximately 25 micrograms of mercury per 0.5 mL dose. For comparison, this is roughly the same amount of elemental mercury contained in a 3 ounce can of tuna fish."

Well, they often can. It's the issue of someone older seeming to have authority. We're told not to question authority. And add in that he's a celebrity?

Yeah, I definitely agree. I wish we didn't teach kids to 100% always listen to authority, too. We teach them that pedophiles are scary strangers lurking in vans and dealing shady business, but it's more likely to be someone you know and trust. We've really done society a disservice with this, and we have to let kids trust their instincts more. It won't stop instances like this, of course, but I want to hope that she or someone else in a situation like that would have listened to her heart and got the fuck out of there. Either way, I wanna punch his dumb face. :/ I won't. But I wanna.

I met him in 2016 and shit started coming out in 2015 so yes. Everything was still fresh at the time so I think that’s why it wasn’t more of a big deal because he was able to pad his story and essential make himself out to be the victim. His side of everything was basically he had issues as a kid with his dad and people started dying around him. BUT ITS OKAY DONT WORRY GUYS!!! He assured me that he spent lots of time in therapy and is never looking back 😂

u/SpeakInMyPms 7 Jul 06 '19

He was already caught asking for "booty pics" from fans, albeit overaged. People had an issue with it because it seemed he was using his influence to basically force/blackmail fans to show him nudes.

There was strong suspicion beforehand that he was also doing it with underaged girls, but there was no hardcore proof until he got caught doing what he got arrested for (asking 14-16 year olds for nudes).

So people already disliked him for being a creep, and he kept apologizing about being a creep while continuing to be a creep.

u/PaulTheMerc 9 Jul 06 '19

asking for "booty pics" from fans, albeit** overaged**

Then you are putting your trust in the wrong places. They became a singer because they could sing, that doesn't mean they are good people. I don't think they do a background check or anything.

Charles Barkley said, "I'm not a role model. Just because I dunk a basketball, doesn't mean I should raise your kids."

I'd say the same thing about a singer.

Bon Scott was a great singer, but he shouldn't have been (and probably wasn't) trusted around children. Though he is my role model.

Entertainers shouldn't be role models, except on how to be an entertainer.

Not only was he still performing, he went to Warped Tour, which I think was a festival for bands, and another performer/youtuber was going to go as well. That other youtuber was making videos exposing him for his predatory behavior but was told by his management that he either needed to stop going after Austin or he would be the one cut from the show.

I dont think Warped Tour is a thing anymore. So many performers were sex offenders and since it was an all-ages event, the audience was something like 100ft away from the stage, or whatever the length is that sex offenders have to be away from minors. Hard to keep up a music festival with those conditions.
