    And how much did they end up making and continue to make after they decided to charge multitudes more than was necessary to profit? Hmm? Exactly my point.

    So you're on board with aggressive government-mandated price controls to keep drug and medical costs down? Perhaps even a single-payer system or nationalized medicine to ensure that the profit motive is completely eliminated from medicine? Then we agree! Health care should not be a for-profit market commodity, it should be an absolute right.

    Or do you just like to point to corporate profitability in health care when it suits your worldview? You're entitled to your opinions, but if you're only skeptical of for-profit medicine when you reaffirms something else which you are already baselessly skeptical of, but also oppose intervention to prevent those profits, you're just being a nihilist.

    vaccines work, that's for sure

    problem is, they don't work "well", and they have lots of (possibly deadly) side effects as described in the directions that come with the vaccines

    they work "somewhat', but not nearly well enough to warrant a mandate, and that's why 99% of the countries haven't implemented vaccine mandates.

    The COVID vaccines are among both the most effective and safest ever created, and we have more real world data on their efficacy than we've ever had for any other vaccine.

    Vaccines work well. They have eradicated diseases like measles and polio from the face of the earth. Unfortunately they are only effective if people actually get them, so the pockets of the world that have decided that "vaccines don't work" have brought them back.

    It doesn't seem like you are opposed to mandates because the vaccines aren't effective enough to warrant it. You disapprove of mandates period. Which is your prerogative. But don't cloak it in fake facts. Just say "I don't like mandates," because your other justifications don't work.

    That's not the point of this discussion.  This thread isn't about you or anyone in particular.

    It's a discussion about cancel culture, what it is, where it's a problem, and where it's not.  Having your views criticized on a show about orcs and elves for being problematic when it comes to race and sexual orientation isn't a form of cancel culture.  It's a criticism - one that you can accept or rebut.  

     

    "Cancel Culture is horrible! People should be able to say whatever they want."

    "I think your opinions are bad"

    "You can't say that!"

    And so, the great debate proceeds as it always has, always does, and always will. I applaud your efforts to talk sense, Downzy. Don't see it going any better than it has, I'm afraid.

    Tomorrow’s self inflicted disappointment is going to be off the charts…

    1) They’re either dropping a surprise album…or not.

    2) They were sound checking a top secret song from said album for the Argentina show…or not.

    I’m already preemptively ashamed of myself for being disappointed. 😆

    SOON IS THE WORD, NOW WE BELIEVE EVEN MORE!

    Or, you know……not. It’s one or the other.

    I cant believe people are now actually convincing themselves that a UYI III is what is coming ... This band has done a serious number on so many people's brains there should be a class action lawsuit ... Who's in? 

    Hottest thread in this forum: OMG new album coming so soon?!?!?!

    Second hottest thread: Slash said we were getting a box set a year ago and we haven't heard fuck all.

    God bless MyGNR.

    Go.....

    Every so often Richard Fortus will sneeze and the New Album rumor thread will add 20 pages of speculation if "Fortus Sneeze" is the name of a new single dropping imminently. No new music will come out. Eventually GNR will release tour dates for a country or continent they haven't been to in a while. Some of us will be happy, some of us will complain. The merry go round will continue with little to no change.

    And that fucking Cake Cream story thread will keep on going.

  7. I understand how important she was to so many people, but no part of me will ever understand the infatuation with a family who decided centuries ago that god liked them better than the other white people, and definitely liked them better than the brown people, so they should have all of the shiny shit in the world. Last I checked, the whole "rape and pillage whoever you can conquer" thing was considered passe in the 21st Century. But carry on, I suppose.

    Long live the King.

    New fortus interview i think

     

    tell me if i'm wrong

    Members of the Not in This Lifetime lineup of the band, active since 2016, have been cautious about answering questions about a follow-up to 2008’s Chinese Democracy, after that LP’s difficult gestation period meant it was almost impossible for the material to live up to the hype. Frontman Axl Rose recently said, “You never know,” when asked about new music. On the last show of the near-three-year world tour earlier this month, he told fans, “we had to get through this first… we can’t do what’s new until we finish this.”

    Asked about Rose’s comments, Fortus told KSHE95, “We’re going to try… try and do another record, get it out soon…” On the subject of its potential high quality, he said, “How could it not be? The band’s so great right now.” He added, “I think it’ll happen faster than you think. I sure hope it happens faster than you think!”

    Fortus continued, “We’re hoping to get one out very soon,” although it wasn’t clear whether he meant a new song or the whole LP. The band had no plans for any further live dates, he added, and a new tour would depend “on whether or not we have a new record out. That’s why we want to do it, get new stuff out there.”

    On the subject of how Rose might approach the new material’s lyrics, he said the frontman had “a lot to write about,” and added that he wasn’t sure about the assertion that the singer’s lifestyle had changed from the excessive ‘80s period. “Has it?” Fortus asked. “How sure are you about this? I don’t know how different it is. He’s a different cat, for sure. I mean, I didn’t know him back then, but he’s a solid dude now.”

    Fortus says there’s a new album coming soon? Now we believe even more!

    Lmao "sorry it took so long"

    This whole thing is a joke.  I guarantee 100% if pressed on it now the excuses and posts from TB will be:

    "Circumstances have changed since I last wrote that Reddit message", as if a leaf dropping from a tree in Nevada means that a rock band is unable to release actual music

     

    He's been in the world's longest three hour meeting since he posted that. New music coming soon!
