Suppose when you were in school you had trouble learning to read. Would it be unfair to the better students if you received tutoring? — frank
Countless prisons have had massive outbreaks, so I’m not sure a “true example of state control” would help any. — NOS4A2
The trick to refuting my examples of state control is to assert that it is not true state control. — NOS4A2
I never said that. No, I’m speaking of the one you fell for. — NOS4A2

That’s just false. The failure of state control is no refutation of the existence of state control. — NOS4A2
I’ve already stated my problems with state control. Its tendency to fail is just another problem with state control. — NOS4A2
I don’t think that it is unfair so long as others can receive tutoring. Do you think it is fair that I should be the only one allowed to receive tutoring? — NOS4A2
The better students don't need tutoring, so they won't receive it.
I think it's fair that only you receive it because you're the one who needs it. Do you disagree with that?
I do disagree with that because it is unfair to deny people access to tutoring because you believe they do not need it. it is also unfair to the lesser student — NOS4A2
The only way to achieve the good (from your point of view) is a strong authoritarian state, one that is able to resist the common will. — frank
I already taught you that if the state has failed, it's because of those who refuse to distance, mask, vax and boost. The fact that state has NOT forced you to do anything is proof there is no state control, failed or otherwise. DOH! — James Riley
Anyone have any idea whether global warming/climate change and COVID-19 are related? — TheMadFool

Your claim that the Covid-19 outbreak would be over already if there was censorship and state control is nonsense. Not only is it counterfactual, but manifestly untrue. States worldwide have shut down entire industries, travel, religion, and most gatherings, and the pandemic continues. — NOS4A2
All this science on your side and look how well you’ve done. Mass death, the denial of fundamental liberties, medical discrimination, huge transfers of wealth, police states, rampant authoritarianism. Defenders of freedom? More like defenders of regimented societies, segregation, state control, censorship.

I don’t see it because you cannot show it. — NOS4A2
You’ve taught nothing. — NOS4A2
You’ve only asserted without evidence. — NOS4A2
Is compulsory vaccination not state control? — NOS4A2
Is the limitations on travel and gathering not state control? — NOS4A2
Is the mandates and lockdowns not state control? — NOS4A2
