@hell_hound7 My understanding is that there is significant data to support household pets catching covid from people. More specifically pets in households of infected individuals have been found to have antibodies for it. The risk of the animal transmitting it is allegedly low. I haven't tried digging into it enough to figure out more than that.

Second… “As for censorship and taliban i FUCKING AGREE why can literal terrorists and we know they are terrorists because we fought them for 20 years why are they allowed free speech but American citizens arent. Dont force feed me bullshit like private company. This is clearly a fucking political war here they ban all Republicans leave Democrats and now even leave terrorists.” Not this again, alright then, I’ll bite. You can say its bullshit all you want. You still haven’t come up with a logical non emotional argument against it. I’ll repeat it again. A private company is not the government. A private company does not owe you, me or anyone else anything. Tell me Pandus. How has the government infringed on your freedom of speech? American citizens are perfectly able to get a megaphone and preach whatever nonsense they want on most public property. Miss me with this victimhood complex. Miss me with this woke nonsense. Miss me with this I’m oppressed nonsense. If you don’t like a certain website. Start your own free speech website. As per conservative principle. Stop blaming other people for your perceived persecution. Take personal responsibility. Lift yourself up from your bootstraps. Let the free market decide. Oh, but, but, but, it’s not easy. Yeah, starting a business isn’t easy. Welcome to capitalism. I’m pretty sure starting Facebook, Amazon, Twitter, Amazon, Microsoft etc. wasn’t easy. Oh, but, but, but the following wouldn’t be the same on my new website, I can reach a lot more people on twitter. Nowhere in the US constitution grants you the right to have a following on any website. You build a following on a new website through hard work. You build a following on a new website through blood, sweat and tears. Unless you’re born with a golden spoon in your mouth. Nothing is handed to you in life. Lift yourself up from your bootstraps. Let the free market decide. Stop being a woke victim. What’s your counterargument? OMG, how can you be protecting these multi-million-dollar corporations instead of regular Americans? You are making an argument to sympathy. Appeal to emotion instead of what is logically correct or based on the law. The first amendment does not make a distinction between the freedom of speech of regular people and the freedom of speech of private business. Do you feel that private business shouldn’t have freedom of speech? Why? In a free capitalist society. A private business has the right to say or believe whatever they want to believe. If a private business wants to exercise their freedom of speech to support the troops. Go for it. If a private business wants to exercise their freedom of speech to support gay rights. Go for it. If a private business wants to exercise their freedom of speech to support Christianity. Go for it. If a private business wants to exercise their freedom of speech to support Islam. Go for it. If a private business wants to exercise their freedom of speech to support blue lives matter. Go for it. Regardless of how big a company is. A company can exercise their freedom of speech to support whatever they want. Based on the companies’ views. You as a consumer can then decide to support or not support that company. Welcome to capitalism. The government should not have the right to tell a private entity what should or not be allowed on their website. Lest you want to turn into communist China. I’ll rather let the free market decide free speech. Rather than a government implemented liberal or conservative viewpoint on free speech. I already know. Even though I’ve already answered this a million times before. You’ll still repeat it. How can you be protecting these multi-million-dollar corporations instead of regular Americans? Tell me Pandus. You yourself protect these multi-million-dollar corporations. Aren’t you not opposed to taxing corporations more? Are you not opposed to a 15 dollar minimum wage? How can you be protecting these multi-million-dollar corporations instead of regular Americans? On free speech. You are completely against big corporations. On taxes and minimum wage. You are completely for big corporations. Two conflicting beliefs. Corporations making money by cutting wages and paying less taxes. As per Pandus logic. That’s totally fine. Corporations making money by exercising their free speech. As per Pandus logic. Oh, no, no, that’s too far! Two conflicting beliefs. Cognitive dissonance at its finest. Oh, the mental gymnastics to try and justify your positions. @hell_hound7

Here comes commrad aleph and his authoritarian protection. This matter of fact principle you guys keep clinging to that these private companies dont owe us anything yeah they dont owe us anything but i can still complain about it. You guys will literally die by the same sword you use. Mark my words. Keep up that kindset that doesnt holdnthese corporations accountable when they come for you dont say we didnt warn you. Today its Republicans, tomorrow when its you then i want you to keep that same energy. Also Trump started the process they were scheduled to leave, had they left when Trump decided tonleave and the plan he left behind was a disaster then it was his fault. But biden EXTENDED that date and he had no choice but to uphold trump's "kicking can down road" plan because if he didnt pull tropps out then he will be known as the president who kept usbin Afghanistan despite the plans to remove us. So Trump gets credit for takingbus out because they were gonna leave regardless but because he didnt keep trump's plan its his fault. Bidennis president this was HIS decision to stay longer than we planned and therefore its his fault.

1. You can start blame with president Bush. The Afghan war started under Bush. Bush gets some the blame. Obama continued the war. Obama gets some of the blame. Trump never ended war. Trump gets some of the blame. Bidens pullout was an absolute disaster. Biden gets some of the blame. ---------------------------------------------------100% but the Bush Administration gets a hefty cut of the blame. 2. You as a consumer can then decide to support or not support that company. Welcome to capitalism. ... Start your own free speech website. ---------------------------------------------------This really is the only solution right now. There are plenty of opportunities out there for people/creators to band together and endorse an alternative platform, but they don't. They really could unite and go into as a merger of sorts, throw in a percentage to even jump-start their own. But they will not do it. Twitter and Youtube are the whales and they will get more attention there so long as they are not banned so they will ride the hate train until it happens.

“So Trump gets credit for takingbus out because they were gonna leave regardless but because he didnt keep trump's plan its his fault.” As you said. Trump is not the president. Trump is not the commander in chief. Biden is the commander in chief and could have decided not to leave. But decided to leave. So, Biden gets the credit to leave. Yes, I’m sure Trump had a master plan. Trump was plying 5D chess with his master plan. Just like the 5D master plan to make Mexico pay for the wall. OOOK! I want to see these master plans. I want to believe in unicorns as well. America would have won bigly with this master plan. Trump had the all-seeing eye that Afghans would rush the airport and had a master plan, Lol OK. You take the partisan biased viewpoint and blame everything on Biden. NOICE, while I blame Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden. One can argue which president has more blame of the Afghan war, but they all have some blame. You can even say that Biden has most the blame, sure whatever. Whispers *Bush started this mess and has a lot of blame as well* But to say that Trump has no blame. Nah, miss me with that biased political take. Also, miss me with this nonsense that you’re some moral arbiter of free speech Pandus. You yourself don’t even believe in constitutionally protected free speech. You believe in your own version of woke free speech. You believe in free speech except when criticizing America. Because in your own words. Free speech is one thing. Criticizing America is another thing. Even though free speech makes no distinction on what you can and cannot criticize. You believe in free speech except that schools must pledge allegiance “under god”. Public schools, which are government property. Should not mandate a pledge under America, a god, or anything else for that matter. As a government mandate would violate the freedom of speech of students. “Under God” also violates the principle of the separation of church and state. You believe in free speech except when burning the American flag. Even though burning the American flag is constitutionally protected free speech. Not just the American flag. Burning the Chinese flag is constitutionally protected speech. Burning the ISIS flag is constitutionally protected speech. Burning Israel’s flag is constitutionally protected speech. Burning BLM’s flag is constitutionally protected speech. Burning any flag is constitutionally protected speech. Do you find it disrespectful to burn the flag? Yes, it is disrespectful. But being disrespected, is not sufficient reason to for the government to ban something because it offends you. Being offended, is not sufficient reason for the government to ban something because it triggers your feelings. As libertarian governor Jesse Ventura puts it much more eloquently. “Governments should not mandate patriotism. Governments earn patriotism. Who mandated patriotism? The Germans in the 1930s” Oof, *mike drop* @hell_hound7 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH1aAG1xVoI&ab_channel=BusinessInsider

It's weird to consider burning something to be speech.
hell_hound7
I never said flag burning is disrespectful, infact you ARE supposed to burn the flag in certain circumstances. Such as it touching the ground, if it touches the ground that flag is to be burned. My biggest issue isnt that they are disrespecting the country. Its that they get away with it. People can "peacefully protest" at the Capitol and be sent to federal prison. But the same peaceful protest can happen at another Capitol buidling and its all cool because at least it wasnt the republicans. Do you not see the issue with this? People disrespecting this country get away with it but an orange dude says mean words and has been to court so many times in the past year for "crimes" and hasnt been charged yet. Im not saying government has to mandate patriotism but mandate fucking rights of the people. Are you really gonna tell me that mandating people have rights is wrong now? Xd are you gonna go out and join the taliban so you can strip people of their rights lol you have never once heard me say to arrest someone for being unpatriotic. Stop addint words in my mouth. I said they shouldnt be allowed to represent our country if they are unpatriotic. The government wasnt even in chargee of the Olympics so you can drop a mic on that one.

Dude really be reaching. When i mention government fighting back for free speech i get compared to a nazi lmfao
hell_hound7
Ok ok ok extremely hot take here, and hear me out. This guy was spitting facts for like .2 seconds. America did pour alot of money into afganistan. So where is that money now? What he is saying isnt 100% false. Like if they really wanted to stay away from taliban control why is there so many of them and why were they able to take it so easily? Im not siding with these people because they have done evil things. But i mean seriously there are questions. https://youtu.be/MBEMk2WX_ug
