Also, house dogs help kids develop tolerance as well.

I believe I remember that was mainly the point, that being around animals did the trick, it wasn't about rolling around in the dirt or drinking bad water.

Scared people are easily manipulated.  "They" have done a pretty good job on this one.  I am not saying it is a bad thing in this case.  They have done the same thing with seat belts.  Once again, not a bad thing.  I am just pointing out how the government can manipulate the majority of the population over time.

I've completely missed your point on this one.  84,000 dead in less than 3 months and you think people are needlessly scared and prone to manipulation by "they" - whoever that is?

And your seat-belt analogy . . . . . is that manipulation?, or just statistically proven fact that it saves lives and is a common sense good practice to follow if you value your own life.  Are you saying its needless government meddling?  By that logic, lets do away with all traffic lights.  Why stop there, lets do away with all traffic laws.  What are you saying??

Did you not see THIS part of his post?

I've never seen anyone so anxious to argue as ColdWaterFshr.   🙄 

Where's the government meddling when it comes to alcohol ?    If they truly cared......

Surely you are not implying no government meddling as it pertains to alcohol right?

My point was . . . . I am totally missing his point!  He says its not a bad thing, but that the "government can manipulate the majority of the population over time".  What does this mean exactly??   Is this some libertarian cockamamy or more of the deep state nonsense?  Maybe the COVID has taken away my smell of determining what type of garbage is being peddled here.🤣

And Fishinwrench . . . . your log of 16,353 posts and counting. . . .  good grief son, talk about someone who is anxious to spend a lot of time spitting in the wind . . . . . . . .🤣🤣 

you post on average, what about 100 times per day??? 

[tjm]

Average of 102 deaths per day. in USA from cars, but no quarantine panic there.  Alcohol-related deaths 72,558 in 2017, but stores are still open. Drunks still go fishing, or at least they sit on the bank with a tackle box while drinking.
