Sorry "Progressives," - your beloved working man loves smokes, drinks, fast-food, guns, big fast cars, waving the flag, and big 'ol titties. what BS! First, I have never said average working folks were dumb (only those pushing the freedumb drivel). In fact, I have explicitly argued the opposite (people weren't dumb) with several here. Second, don't confuse a) mass media culture that reflects the values of those selling their goods with b) popular culture. Also don't make the mistake of thinking that 20-25% of Bush dead-enders that vote are the American people. Once again you are arguing non-sequitur talking points brought up by my favorite moron here because you are more than happy to take his posting seriously Edited June 15, 2011 by j_b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, I have never said average working folks were dumb I'll say it. "Working folks" (i.e. poor people) ARE dumb. That's why they're poor. And fat.

Rural Elders Have Highest Rates of Obesity, Diabetes, Heart Disease Mmmmm. Smart people. http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/stupid-fucking-anti-vaccine-hippies/Content?oid=8526583 "According to a definitive new study published June 3, Washington State ranks among the worst in the nation in meeting childhood vaccination targets. In the Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) epidemiological newsletter, the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, our state ranges between 88 and 93 percent compliance for "required" vaccinations like polio, whooping cough, measles, hepatitis B, and chicken pox. The CDC's target is 95 percent. But even more embarrassing, our state now leads the nation in parent-signed exemptions for kindergarten enrollees at 6.2 percent, a rate that has more than doubled over the past decade. In other words, Washington is suffering an epidemic of stupid fucking Jenny McCarthy–worshiping anti-vaccine hippies. Only eight states report a lower compliance rate on the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine than Washington's 91.7 percent, while Mississippi leads the nation with 99.7 percent compliance....."

Jim Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I read this article at lunch - what a bunch of wackos! The lead local wacko is from Bainbridge and somehow he came to the unfounded conclusion that his daughter died from a vaccine. While not impossible - there's nothing to back up his assertion. Definately a weird bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephH Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Except if you looked at the actual statewide demographics of that 6.2 percent of exemptions I'd bet you'd find it was a split right down the middle between the left and right fringe.

prole Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Interestingly, the revolt against vaccination can at least partially be laid at the feet of the very notions of "freedumb" under discussion here. "Why are you oppressing me with your big-government health agenda?" More antisocial libertarian chickens coming home to roost... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
