Ditto. I get them when they're convenient and free, but mostly not.

Most convenient was the drive-up service provided by a local hospital.
One nurse on each side of the car. Open the window, stick your arm out.
Wham Bam, Thank You Ma'am.

Wrong. The only time I ever got the flu was 2 weeks AFTER I got a flu shot.
I'll never get a flu shot again. Total scam. Maybe it doesn't give you the
flu, but it sure doesn't stop it.

I get mine every year at Walmart. Free with Medicare. Rarely a line. I've
never gotten flu from a flu shot.

You base your conclusions on unfounded assumptions. But right wingers do that
all the time. Don't let reality bother you.

I have heard what some of these protesters have said but it doesn't
matter what I say. It matters what God knows but left wingers don't
care about God's commandments. Most God-fearing people are dying off
so America is bound for chaos, turmoil and violence because America
keeps pushing God away. Good luck to you because that's all you got!

If most god-fearing people are dying off, it is either because god has forsaken
them or they just aren't having enough sex

I agree. There are even generic caffeine tablets that are much cheaper than
No-Doz. I use them when I am traveling to keep from falling asleep on the
road (I'm usually a passenger, so it isn't a safety issue--I just hate
nodding off and missing the scenery).

What are these Occupy protesters trying to accomplish? There's a
right way to approach things and a wrong way. Put pressure on the
people that you voted in because they're supposed to represent you.
Money will ALWAYS be unequally distributed when people buy, sell, pay
taxes or not pay taxes. Some people have more, some people have less
and nobody is going to change that - nobody. There has to be some
kind of standard law and order that most people agree on but if these
Occupy protesters keep this up, there's going to be senseless violence
and death because they're trying to take matters into their own hands
instead of exercising the appropriate measures to address their
concerns.

They listen only to money to buy them all off! The going rate is
around 166 million dollars to buy off congress. This is a good deal
for corporations and foreign governments which get billions in return.

I think the protests are a refreshing and welcome change with "We the
People"! Up till now, the people have just been a bunch of dumb sheep
doing what they are told on TV.

Perhaps the younger generation can fix this "bought off congress"
problem which is wrecking our country? At least someone is noticing
there is a BIG problem and doing something about it... (for a change)
