As a native american myself you kinda just proved my point... maybe instead of getting upset when a minority tells you we see racism its better if you maybe reflect on ways to be less racist instead?

Friend: I think my dads outside smoking salmon

Me: NNNNiiiicccceeee man, never heard of that strain... I think ill go find him.

Friends wife: I told you not to invite him!

@jmcrookston Yes, during the **winter** very few people caught it, which was their point... they were **not** saying polio wasnt dangerous or worth worrying about in general. Only that mothers can calm down a bit in winter and need not panic during winter.

@jmcrookston Sure, yes i assumed it was a reproduction of a real article.

@jmcrookston

Yup, indeed, which means the polio post you provided from 1948 was actually factually accurate... As the article posted mothers shouldnt panic because Polio is a summer disease (the article has the date of Aug 1st, so once summer had ended)

@jmcrookston

Ok did some checking, the post here actually is accurate and factual for its time.

Polio is a **highly** seasonal disease and, as the article suggests, it is not a significant issue in the winter and it is during the summer that parents (at the time) should worry, winters were fairly safe.

@jmcrookston Does anyone know if this is factually true? It seems to be claiming in 1948 the claim was made polio was rare in winter and only common in summer... Is that true? I am having trouble finding seasonal numbers on this.

Ive seen far more racism out of people who think the confederate flag is racist than I have actually seen from people who fly it.

@thor I was that way, even when i was very young, could sit for hours with nothing to do just fine.

People remarked on it even when i was young. I said it was because my mind is such a rich and busy landscape it keeps me entertained. I am usually deep within some sort of elaborate fantasy world in my head creating things or developing some story.

@georgetakei

Spot on.. in fact I'd go one further and say how about we stop blamming people for things based on hardships beyond their control.

@gaypharm Oh nice, they are shaped like little boots... how cute!

@marathon@social.freetalklive.com Yea I've heard the argument.. problem is we are **already** overpopulated, this isnt some future problem.
