CC Random thread

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Sand bottom and no lights, they were much better
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Interesting story about how meth has changed over the last decade.

‘I Don’t Know That I Would Even Call It Meth Anymore’

Different chemically than it was a decade ago, the drug is creating a wave of severe mental illness and worsening America’s homelessness problem.

Damn straight.

Any government official who wears a poppy and yet goes along with the current mandates and divisive narrative should be put in public stocks and ridiculed until they actually realize what they are doing.

Why?

People weren’t ridiculed over the lockdowns and restrictions to fight the Spanish Flu, which in part coincided with WW1.

Isn’t the fight against deadly disease at least as worthy a cause as the fight against other nations? :eh:

As to a ”divisive narrative”, isn’t that exactly what you are pushing in this post? :|

We’re firing frontline healthcare workers for not getting vaccinated when it was completely appropriate for them to work the front lines for the past 18-20 months without a vaccine. So now that more and more people have immunity we are going to start showing the very people who risked themselves for the good of others out the door?

Then we’re going to listen to the government that kicks them out turn around and blame those people for the cancellations in healthcare related services that are due to a shortage of workers.

We are actively listening to government officials use divisive language and a media that goes right along creating a two tiered society that shames the unvaccinated calling them dangerous and unhelpful to society.

WW2 was fought to prevent a society like this from running over Europe’s and wherever else Nazi Germany could plant its flag. The poppies are worn to remember the sacrifices made by men (and some women too) who died in the name of freedom and liberty, tolerance, and equality.

Wearing a poppy while throwing citizens under the bus for not trusting a vaccine that really doesn’t deserve to be trusted is like spitting on the graves the poppy is worn to remember.

Per, when you wake up with a dose of common sense we can have a conversation.

Always wear the poppy from Nov 1 to Nov 11. Don’t pull a Willie Desjardins and wear it for weeks after.

I thought the poppies were a symbol for WW1?

And I agree you should not fire people for not being vaccinated.
I thought Canada was a civilised country...

Some healthcare providers in Sweden move their unvaxxed staff to tasks that do not involve direct contact with patients, but you cannot fire someone over not taking their shots.
