THE WISE MAN

COVID: FRENCH UPROAR AS MACRON VOWS TO 'PISS OFF' UNVACCINATED

French President Emmanuel Macron has been accused of using divisive, vulgar language after he used a slang term to say he wanted to make life difficult for unvaccinated people.  "I really want to piss them off, and we'll carry on doing this - to the end," he told Le Parisien newspaper. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-59873833 

 MY TAKE -  GOOD – PEOPLE WHO REFUSE TO GET VACCINATED ARE THE REASON THIS PANDEMIC IS NOW IN YEAR 2.  – Life should be made miserable for those selfish, ignorant people.

THE FOOL

POPE FRANCIS HAS SUGGESTED PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE TO HAVE PETS OVER CHILDREN ARE ACTING SELFISHLY.

"Today ... we see a form of selfishness," he told the audience. "We see that some people do not want to have a child. Pope Francis said that people who are unable to have children for biological reasons should consider human adoption, urging people "not to be afraid" in embarking on parenthood.

HIS REASONING - The practice "is a denial of fatherhood and motherhood and diminishes us, takes away our humanity", he added   https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-59884801

 

A PET PARENT’S REBUKE – As dog dads, we parent our pets the same way we parent human children. We school them, teach them words, routine, how to play with others, how to go to the bathroom outside, take them to doctor, on errands, play with them, etc. JUST LIKE HUMANS.  Pets just don’t talk back, leave home and marry someone you hate (or financially support religions).
