Popular Post Quintus 5091 Posted October 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2020 All those quick to mock Trump for catching the virus are being very short-sighted: it's quite possible he could experience only minor symptoms before returning to the campaign trail - his scepticism and ambivalence towards coronavirus more dangerously solidified than ever before.

Naïve Old Fart 4706 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 He is well into the "at risk" group, and COVID has a nasty habit of presenting itself in many ways. I have no desire to see anybody suffer from COVID. As much as I might disagree with the politics of some who have been unfortunate enough to contract COVID, I wish anyone who gets this disease, a full and speedy recovery.

Quintus 5091 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I mean, people think and even say rash shit like that about other people all the time; believe it or not it's basic human nature to be just that hateful about certain individuals whom a person might find particularly loathsome, it's been happening since the dawn of time. The only difference now is Twitter provides a public platform for such unsavoury statements and the site owner continues to profit from the faux outrage engagement that follows.

The Big Man 7225 Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 What's weird though is there's a high proportion of blue check mark types who engage in that filth, and are obviously considered by Twitter to be individuals who occupy a certain level of prominence and high profile.

Quintus 5091 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I suppose that's important to the sort of folk who consider Twitter to be the great arbiter of all that is good and upstanding in the world (of celebs). Link to post Share on other sites

Yep. The balance of probability is still in favor of his survival, even though he’s way more likely to die than say you or I. Not accounting for the fact that he has access to healthcare and treatment options Quintus and Blume do not have. I hope he recovers but with enough of a bite to show him he needs to take care of the vulnerable population. Link to post Share on other sites

Have you seen the woman that gave it to Trump? I would post a photo of her but that would change this thread into 'The Sexy Thread' and I don't want to take any risks. My point is perhaps they were a little bit too close? Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Jay 18382 Posted October 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2020 Relax guys, you're welcome to talk about the news, as always. Just don't share your political opinions or endlessly link to and discuss news that is basically just politics. There's a thousand places on the internet you can go to talk your heart out about all that. Don't do it on JWFan too or we'll eventually have to stop allowing news threads because I don't have the time or patience to stay on top of every post and examine it for political content. Just go elsewhere to talk politics! It's really simple! And you're never, under any circumstances, allowed to insult other forum members, in this thread or any other. If you don't like a poster, just use the ignore feature or show some self control, instead of continuing to read their posts, getting worked up, and then insulting them. This is a place we're supposed to come together to share out love for film music together with fellow fans. Don't ruin it with all this shit that has nothing to do with that.

Quintus 5091 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Good for newcomers to the forum who will enjoy the novelty of discussing their favourite oldies with other like-minded newbies (most of whom will come and go), but boring as hell for everyone else who grew tired of riding the repetitive topic carousel years ago. It's literally the same handful of subjects on repeat, over and over again. I too remember when it was fun and interesting to dive in, but the limitations of being a score enthusiast these days do eventually become apparent. Even the mainstay film threads over in GD are the same movies over and over again. Other Topics at least provides the old guard with an area away from boring old/new film score talk to share banter and argue amongst themselves, or at least it has traditionally done so in the past. People used to praise the JWFan "experience" for feeling the closest to something like a virtual pub with their mates. But like real bricks and mortar establishments, it's gradually being shut down. IMO, politically and satirically tinged chit-chat make for the most interesting threads now on modern JWFan. Link to post Share on other sites
