SpikeTalon comments on Dec 30, 2020:

Good way of looking at it I suppose.

What did you learn in 2020?

SpikeTalon comments on Dec 30, 2020:

These days hardly anything surprises me. Yeah, it's been said often that what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, guess that might apply to me where 2020 is concerned. About a week and a half ago I suffered a severe hypoglycemic episode, and had I been by myself when it happened I most likely would have died. I remember the panic over Y2K, thankfully that ended up being a dud. 2020 has been one dysfunctional year, and I'll sure be glad when it's over. Of course, no telling what's to come ahead in 2021? Things can always get worse, so I remain somewhat pessimistic.

Conspiracy theory? What?

SpikeTalon comments on Dec 29, 2020:

Ironic.

Should some research topics be banned or results censored?

SpikeTalon comments on Dec 18, 2020:

In my opinion research usually paves the way to knowledge, and knowledge is generally a good thing to have, so I'm against the banning of any sort of research. With that said, I do strongly think that certain researchers/research organizations should be funded privately, as Government money (aka the taxpayer dollars) needs to be spent wisely (fiscally responsible in other words).

If people from 2020 were on the Titanic

SpikeTalon comments on Nov 30, 2020:

Unfortunately, many folks who were left behind on the Titanic were not helped much by life vests as the temperature of the water killed them within a half hour. Your comparison between that and wearing masks was good though... just as sure as life vests largely didn't help those who found themselves in the ocean when the Titanic went down, masks are not saving everyone either as they have their limits.

What in the actual fuck? I used to wear a mask around toluene and oil

Is it ok to affirm someone's untrue beliefs?

SpikeTalon comments on Nov 28, 2020:

People should be able to believe whatever it is they so desire, so long as they aren't doing anything criminal, and I reserve the right to ignore them. As soon as someone attempts to preach to me, I walk away from them and they usually get the drift fast. They could insist however much they like, I still wouldn't care. As for employers insisting on such, I wouldn't work there, and they would probably be reported for discrimination. As for the last question, have yet to be in that position, not that I can recall anyway, and usually keep my personal views to myself.

I like this post.

What are your views on abortion?

SpikeTalon comments on Nov 18, 2020:

I feel the same way about this issue as I do with the gun control issue. I'm against gun control legislation as I'm not convinced such measures will prevent all potential criminals who intend to use firearms in a crime, and I am also opposed to restrictions on abortion procedures as I am not convinced that banning all such procedures would mean the end of all abortions, which would not be reality. Now, from a personal point of view I do not for one moment think abortion procedures are a wonderful thing, especially when an otherwise healthy woman decides to terminate her pregnancy more or less for convenience's sake. I'm happy to say that abortion is one of those issues in life that for the most part I don't care about or dwell on much.
