No. No. The Earth was created for man, but by a God who is a real scumbag.

Don't pamper to their mass insanity with any grandeur or acceptance.  I don't think the concept that the universe was created for "Man" has the slightest bearing of truth, asides pure philosophy of consciousness.

the problem is that people only care for themselves so have to be told what to do for society and people only elect people that will benefit them personally in a direct way rather than indirectly by providing a better society to live in.

The British PM talks about "good old british common sense" the mere concept is a joke. He has done nothing but mince his words so that other get blamed for reality and his mistakes.

Simon:
Yea OK cdev, remember what the topic is about. I know this is your "thing" but it will overwhelm the topic as it has in the past.

cdev:
Around here (NE US) they actually did close most large businesses down. Many businesses are still closed.

And make no mistake about it, it is a genuine emergency around here, with lots and lots of people getting very sick and dying.

I personally would like to see less analysis of who is to blame and more activity to prevent people getting sick and ideally, cure them, in a way they can afford.

It seems like all the government did was incite more panic than anything.

Maybe if he used a hair comb in the morning, people would take him seriously.
