Yes viruses have been here since before the emergence of humankind. We have survived them due to the ingenuity of our ancestors, that have either eradicated various strains of a virus or learnt to control them. I'm hopeful that we will be capable of doing one or the other to this present strain.
While we look for the best way in dealing with this strain. Should we, as many want, go back to living a pre-covid life and hope for the best that not to many people die from the virus. Or should we fight using all the resources we presently have available to us, so keeping as many people possible, alive and well.
Well, there's 250 pages in the second installment of this thread discussing just that.

Wasn't this tried by one group a few seasons ago? Set themselves up in the top left block? Petered out fairly quickly I think, but perhaps worth another go.
Aye, I was in there for a few games. Only about 30-40 of us by memory, but we managed to get heard by Clough who gave us a wave.
Loads on here denied they could hear us or Clough waved. It all got a bit silly.
Tbf, we all got our move to the South Stand from the South East Corner soon after, so it was redundant really.
There really wouldn't be enough to ever make it work.

I guess there are two schools of thought
Perhaps. Schools of thought or school teacher's thoughts?
I think we have at least 2 on this thread.

I'm just going to put an idea out there.
Maybe, just maybe, our vaccination programme was rolled out quicker. A lot quicker. Is our immunity through vaccination now waning? You'd think so from all the studies.
So maybe this will start happening in all the other countries who were so slow to get their population vaccinated in a month's time or however longer they took to get to our levels.

Not knowing the yoof lingo is another sign!
I've just answered the door to my son's pal, who complained about his Uber driver flexing him the whole time.
Any ideas?
The only thing I miss about prison is the fact I knew what the next years lingo and outfits were going to be.
Belieieve it or not, but white sports socks and flip flops will soon be worn as acceptable footwear during the day in town.
Or as they would say - on road, fam.

Yeah, and have you actually seen the list of players…..!?? Not one of them (or anyone of that Standard) is ever coming to us.
The poster only said if we had a 20 goal a season striker we'd survive - 21 points.
You were wrong. It's OK. There's more than you thought. You don't need to try and change the point that was made.

The mythical “20 goal a season striker” any idea how many “20 goals a season strikers” there have been in this league in the last 10 years…?
There was 9 in 2018/2019 alone.

None of the above. We're just having a debate on a forum
What are you up to? Trying to intimidate me? Should I be scared at lights out?
So now you're going to play the victim?
Pathetic.

Absolutely not. I don't think he is homophobic or bigoted in the slightest. I know exactly what his problem is, because he's explained it at length. I'm surprised you've not clocked it yourself - it's pretty obvious if you've been reading carefully enough
So what are you up to? Are you trolling? Looking for a bite? Get kicks out of trying to wind him up?

Are you willing to accept that there is likely to be an overlap? Probably a venn diagram of a) fans who aren't bothered in the least, plus b) fans who are unhappy because they don't want to read about gays, and c) fans that are unhappy because they consider their "loyalty has been discarded". And probably another subset of d) fans who are b) but pretending to be c) because "you can't say anything any more without being called a bigot ?
Come on, let's not flounce around the point. You're doing your best to paint a person's views as horribly as possible with no evidence.
Do you think he doesn't like the changes because he is homophobic?
Yes or no.

I am sick of people sat on massive horses, twisting words, over-dramatising, purposefully missing the point, trying to compare a gay storyline in a made up comic to taking the knee, go on about inclusivity whilst showing none of that to differing views, exaggerating posts and making tenuous efforts at proving someone is bordering on hate speech.
Have a ducking word with yourselves.
And now it's going to get turned into a thread on free speech because they can't address the points being made. Every argument comes back to Hitler, or Farage in the case of this forum.
And the same people think they are inclusive. I will throw a label in. It's called bullying. Snide remarks about flouncing, not having a life, accusing a poster of verging on hate speech etc, but the same posters will be first to be inclusive of an online bullying campaign, i'm sure.
Drop the flouncey, over-dramatic, exaggerations. Don't like the point being made? Move on. When you're belittling, mocking and assuming and suggesting some pretty distasteful stuff, it's not a debate.
I'm interested to read the views. I'm not interested in all the above.

It seems to me that that 'that guy' who has politely and thoughtfully engaged in an online forum is being attacked for who he is rather than what he has said.
The hissy flounce most definately seems to be coming from the other side that haven't argued against what he has said - the fact that Son of Superman follows a long trend of similar IPs that have updated themselves for a new audience, only to find themselves cancelled a short while later as the existing audience leaves in droves.
Instead, they have tried to deflect and attack the poster, attempting to make out he is a snowflake that isn't to busy enjoying his own life to post his imagined reasons, others would say thoughts, on a subject - then have the cheek to call him out for doubling down on his reasons, despite the fact we're on a 'discussion forum'.
If you want an echo chamber I can just stop posting.
Imagine being THE guy who reads and replies to THAT guy about how seemingly empty his life is to belittle and mock him.

And hold on, it’s not a false equivalence. You’re saying if taking the knee did have an impact on the game, then you’re reaction would be that they should just concentrate on the game and leave their agendas at home. But as it’s not impacting on the game, they can do what they want.
Maybe they should disrupt the game, and more people would pay attention.
Which motorway are you sitting on tomorrow?

Wow, I have never hired a bad accountant, but then again I ask around and research them.
And you've had more than one. How do you pick yours, out of a hat?
You're on a Derby forum in 2021 claiming there are no bad accountants.

do you disagree on masks or that those decisions were mistakes?
No. I think people should wear masks on public transport. Disagree for it to be mandatory.
Do I disagree those decisions were mistakes? No.

You seem a little prickly still. just quoted some salient facts.
It is obvious that we have cocked this up. A public inquiry next year would be good. Hold people to account, learn from mistakes,
In the meantime, compulsory mask wearing on public transport would be a start.
Direct questions get direct answers.
Nothing wrong with your suggestion or venting about decisions made 10 months a go. Just wondered what your point was.

ooooh Bit defensive aren't we?
Perhaps it's an indication we could have done something different. Perhaps shown some of the caution many on here wanted.
Perhaps stuck with masks on public transport. Maybe not sent kids back to school for 1 day in January, relaxed school rules 1 week before the 6 week hols. offered teens vaccines 3 weeks before school returned not 3 weeks after. Just little things.
There is plenty of scope between lockdown and the poo show we have now.
So what's your point?
You want more restrictions now?

On a related note, where do emergency service vehicles fill up?
I've never seen one at a petrol station, do they get red diesel like the farmers?
At the stations they are based at. Royal Mail have their own pumps at their sorting offices.
So do the council for waste collection etc.
Delivery services like DPD all have them on site. Every major warehouse distributor has on-site pumps.

It's got duck all to do with politics.
Young lads are on coke rather than drinking. It's everywhere. It's so cheap. That's the problem.
Bit of sniff and a fight with your mates against anybody else is the new Saturday night.
Honestly, if you think 18 year old lads are catching a train to a poo hole, getting coked up and therefore thinking their harder than they actually are is down to populist politics, give your head a wobble.
It's called fighting powder for a reason.
