Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.
I am taking this all with a grain of salt. Just something about this makes my skin crawl, but I can't put my finger on what exactly about it that is raising my hackles. Quite honestly, when I read and watch things of this nature, with mankind digging into the building blocks of life itself, I tend to get a mental image of a bunch of monkeys standing in the middle of a world filled with leaking tanks of gasoline, pecking away at a locked box containing a box of matches.
Personally, no, I will not be taking the vaccine. At least not for a good year or so, if ever. I do not trust the media, especially when they come across as a cheering section for certain issues. It appears that any "discouraging words" about the vaccine are being tromped on in Youtube and Google, so again, that puts me on high alert that something is amiss with what we are being allowed to see.
BTW, I stumbled on an alternative video site that seems to have some potential of allowing things that YouTube won't allow to be presented to the public. -> https://brandnewtube.com/videos/latest?page_id=1 FWIW.
Everything about this COVID thing just stinks, IMHO. From it blowing up at Wuhan, China, then "escaping" out into the world, then suddenly China basically clearing itself of the virus while the rest of the world appears to be getting worse. At least according to the mainstream media. So in my opinion, jumping too quickly into ANYTHING based on limited input, and especially obviously biased input, may be ill advised.
Fear is a tremendous motivator. I will try real hard to not allow fear to push me in some direction that others want to push me. Not unless I agree, based on all available evidence, that there is a damn good reason to be afraid. And right now, I just do not KNOW.
