A good example was in 1994, my grandfather went to Florida at the behest of my mom, who wanted him to see a faith healer named Benny Hinn. Soon after that, the cancer went into remission. He never stopped taking the medicine or other treatments. But everyone in the family wanted to believe that God spared him the cancer, so they worked backwards from this, wanting it to be true, [01:02] schestowitz[TR] found it [01:02] DaemonFC finding reasons for it to be true, ignoring all evidence to the contrary. [01:03] DaemonFC Transgender people are a good example of Occam's Broom as well. [01:03] DaemonFC They want something to be true so they sweep away all evidence to the contrary. [01:03] DaemonFC My grandfather's cancer came back in 1998 and quickly killed him. [01:03] DaemonFC Nobody ever attributed this to God. [01:04] DaemonFC They say well God gave him some more time. Okay, for what? [01:04] DaemonFC 4 more years to do what? That's not a lot of time. What did he accomplish in 4 years? [01:04] DaemonFC Listening to my grandmother nag him for 48 more months all the way to his death bed? [01:04] DaemonFC Shortly after he died is when my mom filed for divorce from my dad.

Other people participate and create legal fictions and "You can't say that." laws in a demonstration of mass hysteria. [01:08] DaemonFC Occam's Broom. They really are the other gender and surgery, pill hormones, different clothing, name changes, and screeching changes reality. [01:09] DaemonFC In Occam's Broom you have to set aside the fact that nature made them biologically one way and they have to go through all this song and dance to "conform" to something else. [01:10] DaemonFC There are so many examples of Occam's Broom because people would rather have the world be the way they want it than the way it is, so it's tempting to just push fact aside, even if you really can't quite pull it off. You just act as though the inconvenient fact doesn't matter. [01:10] DaemonFC Or doesn't exist.

So I walk in and the guard interrupts and says "Turn off your phones and don't look at them!" My phone wasn't making any noise. So I did turn it off, and then I said "He's telling me you said he needed an appointment.

What will happen if I refuse to receive one or all of the required vaccines? [01:54] DaemonFC > A. Tell the civil surgeon if you do not wish to receive the required vaccines or a particular vaccine. You should also tell the civil surgeon the reason you do not wish to receive the vaccine(s). In this case, a waiver may be available to you, but only under the following circumstances: [01:54] DaemonFC > You are opposed to all vaccinations in any form a waiver may not be granted if you only object to specific vaccinations; [01:54] DaemonFC > Your objection must be based on religious beliefs or moral convictions; and [01:54] DaemonFC > The religious or moral beliefs must be sincere. [01:54] DaemonFC --- [01:54] DaemonFC MinceR: So as long as you are sincerely an antivaxxer and don't want to get any vaccines, you get a waiver.

[06:33] DaemonFC ---- [06:34] DaemonFC Nancy Pelosi's not a war criminal for supporting the IDF, she's a war criminal for giving George W. Bush the ability and funding to do whatever he wanted to do in Iraq and Afghanistan, and she's also a really horrible person for helping Trump's attacks on immigrants, and she's not even towing the official Democrat line. She said she would fight Trump and then she joined him. She gave him billions of dollars for new border wall, and most of it ended up [06:34] DaemonFC in California so they wouldn't end up in San Francisco. [06:35] DaemonFC Nancy Pelosi is a political whore. She pretends to be the opposition party and then gives Republicans whatever they want and more. [06:36] DaemonFC She flipped the House promising to stop Trump and then he continued on unabated. [06:36] DaemonFC This is what happens every time she's House Speaker with a Republican President. [06:38] DaemonFC The "immigration compromise bill" should include funding forcing the Biden Administration to build at a minimum 250 additional miles of border wall in the most heavily trafficked corridors. [06:39] DaemonFC Texas has been soliciting donations to build its own border wall to the Trump Administration's standards, but has only completed about 26 miles under State funding. [06:39] *KindOne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [06:39] DaemonFC It has enough between State funding and public donations for a total of about 57 miles. Obviously it will raise some more before it's out of money. [06:40] DaemonFC There's enough demand that Texas has been able to raise $60 million in private donations in just a year or so.

[06:41] DaemonFC Okay, so I screwed up part of that. It happens. One word. [06:42] DaemonFC Doesn't change the fact that Nancy Pelosi wanted a ton of border wall protecting San Francisco from being affected badly by "migrants". [06:43] DaemonFC If you look at the wall/fencing around California, it's a fucking demilitarized zone. They have some of the best wall and fence on the border of any State and then they say that when Arizona or Texas wants to install some they're "cruel and racist". [06:43] DaemonFC Most of the urban areas of California are even double walled with a buffer in the middle. [06:44] DaemonFC If they don't want people coming over into California, why do they want them coming into Arizona or Texas? [06:45] DaemonFC Is that like double masking or something?

[06:50] DaemonFC The reason I'm so dismayed about the police in the UK is that over 96% of them don't even carry a gun and get away with that attitude. [06:51] DaemonFC Like schestowitz[TR] says, you don't get the impression they'll kill you, but then again, how many people do they police kill in America compared to the number of people they drive to suicide? [06:51] DaemonFC I'd imagine that every person shot and killed by the police, there's at least 100 suicides caused by police encounters. [06:52] DaemonFC It doesn't take a lot to set some people off. [06:52] DaemonFC Recently, there was that guy that skipped his divorce case and just went to the judge's house and shot the judge dead. [06:53] DaemonFC Even in my hometown, that was not uncommon. There was one case I recall, before the court had metal detectors. [06:53] DaemonFC Guy didn't like how his divorce was going, so he went in there and killed the judge, his wife, and then himself. [06:54] DaemonFC It was in the news. Everyone was shocked. They set up security and metal detectors within days. [06:55] DaemonFC It's going to sound bad for me to say this, but get ready for it, because it's just what I think. [06:55] DaemonFC A lot of people have nothing or nearly nothing. The media blathers on about a great economy. [06:55] DaemonFC Then they lose their job or their wife slaps them with divorce papers. [06:55] DaemonFC And that's all it takes. [06:55] DaemonFC That's all it takes. [06:56] DaemonFC But the police drove Ian Murdock to kill himself over what I think were only misdemeanor charges.
