Vaccinations

Should vaccinations be forced upon children who's mothers don't want it, yet fathers do?

I think it should be... I can't believe how stupid the mothers are that refuse their children the most basic of protection with the MMR jab. The chances of catching measils, mumps or rubella are relatively high, wheras the chance of developing autism is low -- and there is no link to the MMR jab.

I think people that selfish should be locked up...stupid hippies.

Surely the problem is not selfishness but fear?
Force someone into something they're afraid of, and they'll just resent it and trust you even less the next time round; persuade someone, and you stand a better chance of (in this case) the children coming out of it better.

You can't persuade idiots using non-idiotic lanuage. Stupid women, if they were my mother, I'd resent them for it.

From a psychology point of view it would enforce needle avoidence. The kids will thank their parents when giant needles come knocking at their door. Unlike their inquisitive brothers they will run, prolonging existence. This means ultimately that in making the kids have the injections they will increase the chance of carrying on their genes through natural selection, so in this way they are selfish.

There is no point in trying to persduade these health zealot mothers thay are wrong. You can show them all the statistics in the world but they'll still not believe it. "A mother knows best" they will say.

MMR refusing dickheads remind me of the debate about genetically modified pigs hearts being used for human transplantation. Somebody (not an expert in any way shape or form) was in a live TV debate and was shouting "it just won't work, It can't work, a pigs heart ina person, that's stupid!" which wasn't even a debate, the scientists were certain it would work, it was supposed to be an ethical debate.

Hear hear Jez... We should destroy the general public/idiots and, as Drunkit Moderators, control the world!

(In a centre-right fashion)

I think the general public are the worst thing about the population of this country!

I agree! Finally, Sam and I agree in this area of the forums!

Its amazing, I'm overcome.

Although it is almost irrefutable that the publc are stupid

Wish I could think of something amusing or witty to say about the general public, but I can't. It's a well known fact that as the number of people go up the general IQ drops anyway.

Although it's not strictly politics, I would like to know why I've been deemed a 'Largerboy' though. Is it because it's inaccurate on both counts?

It's related to your lack of posts on Drunkit.

It's insulting on both counts too I hope!

It says I can stomache Captain Morgan, which is clearly a lie too. No one can stomache that vile stuff. They sell it so that evil gits like me can have a great chuckle!

Unfortunetly you can't spell 'stomach' either...

I will post more when I'm back at college and have unlimited internet time.
And when I have lots of work I ought to be doing instead.
