What is this Brit talking about w/the marine stuff,fill me in please,I respect England but your time is past and some of your exploitation of colonies is shameful as well as the stupidity of your Gov carving up the map to create countries cookie cutter style of ethnic factions that inevitably war w/each other,otherwise God Save the Queen as you sail thru the East China Sea accompanying the US w/your new carriers,you've finally stepped up.ccguns
Rally up Brit, think of this as your generation's Blitz and do them proud,roll it up ,it's no big deal.ccguns
Cunning,glad to see your Leafs rallied up last night,caught a slice of G1 and seen the stretcher on ice then when I seen it was Tavares and the Habs scored 1st I thought of you and all the tortured MLeaf fans in Toronto and said to myself not AGAIN,cause I know there are pretty high hopes this year. Here's hoping they advance out of the Scotia div. and meet up w/ you know who.ccguns

After meeting you and talking to you for 20 minutes they probably would have traded you for Sammy Davis Jr.

Your Bruins made a good comeback after losing the first one too. Let’s hope the Leafs do the same.

He is talking about a training exercise. I am sure he is right, the UK is the new Sparta and outcompetes the US at war from here on out.

Absolutely!
I mean, not having steam catapult technology so you have to launch your aircraft off a ramp on your carrier half-loaded is THE pinnacle of Naval Warfare Technology.
The Brits are always well trained but a co. of 150 waisting a reg. of 1500,have my doubts,unless they walked into a ambush being led by a clown. If England had the budget to compete w/US military then yeah they could be better, but England cannot come near the US in power projection. The fact that they had ships sunk in the Falklands by a third world country is what spurred them on to actually build a real aircraft carrier,but it took them more than 30 yrs., they have a great fighting spirit and a long and distinguished history but economically they just can't compete although it is comforting to have them line up beside us as a ally.ccguns
I like them to win the division,i figure they match up better against the Pitt/NYI winner than they do against Wash, I'm surprised T. Frederick is not in there against the Caps as he brings the nasty which you need in spades vs. Wash. After that if B's take div. it's all reseeded so only time will tell. If Leafs take Scotia and face B's somehow one of us has a team in the finals.ccguns

Imagine being so fucking crazy that you threaten your lids with homelessness if they get vaccinated. Kids should be able to report such parents and they should be locked up for mental health assessments and deprogramed. Yet more proof that these loonies don't just want "freedom", they want to impose their loony tune beliefs on others as well as infect them with covid.

Faced with anti-vaccination parents, teens are helping each other get Covid shots (nbcnews.com)
Faced with anti-vaccination parents, teens are helping each other get Covid shots
The dilemma for some teenagers is, "I know vaccines are lifesaving, but I don’t want to become homeless" by defying their parents' wishes.
The Gen Zer from Ohio who made a splash two years ago for defying his mother to get his childhood immunizations has a message for teenagers seeking Covid-19 vaccinations and getting pushback from their parents — get one if you can.
Ethan Lindenberger, 20, got his first dose three weeks ago and said doing so “could save someone’s life.”
“Teens faced with this have to weigh things like, ‘I know vaccines are lifesaving, but I don’t want to become homeless,’” he told NBC News. “So I tell them, if you can’t have that loving conversation with your parents and you’re of age, weigh those consequences seriously.”
“Don’t get yourself kicked out or seriously in trouble ... but, if you’re able to have that conversation, please get your shots as soon as possible,” he went on to say.
Summer Johnson McGee, dean of the University of New Haven's School of Health Sciences, said she wholeheartedly approves that message.
"Ethan’s advice is spot on for encouraging teens to undertake education and straight talk with parents about their desire to be vaccinated," she said. "Teenagers who do not share their parents' views on vaccination are in a tough spot, but should advocate for their own decision-making to be vaccinated if they wish."
Ethan Lindenberger testifies during a Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington on March 5, 2019, to examine vaccines, focusing on preventable disease outbreaks.Carolyn Kaster / AP file
Lindenberger gained national attention in 2019 when he posted on Reddit that he had never been vaccinated because his mother believed that vaccines are dangerous. He wound up getting his shots over his mother’s objections and later testified before a Senate committee about how misinformation that appears on Facebook, Twitter and other social media fuels the anti-vaccination movement.
Doing so brought him both widespread praise from some but scorn and even death threats from the movement's supporters.
Lindenberger spoke out as a nationwide push is on to get as many teenagers as possible vaccinated now that everyone over 12 is eligible to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccinations.
There are some 25 million children between the ages of 12 and 17, according to Census Bureau data compiled and analyzed by the Annie E. Casey Foundation. And while the rates of death or serious disease from Covid-19 are lower in children than in adults, public health experts have called getting this population vaccinated a critically important step toward completely reopening the nation’s schools and the economy.
Still,a recent poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation's Vaccine Monitor found that nearly a quarter of parents surveyed would not allow their teenagers to be vaccinated and 18 percent said they would only do it if the schools mandated it.
Parental consent is something children have to contend with across the country but it’s not a one-size-fits-all approach as states have differing rules.

Study: Pfizer-BioNTech and AstraZeneca vaccines "highly effective" against COVID variants (yahoo.com)
Study: Pfizer-BioNTech and AstraZeneca vaccines "highly effective" against COVID variants
Two doses of the COVID-19 vaccines made by Pfizer-BioNTech or AstraZeneca are "highly effective" against variants first detected in India and the United Kingdom, health officials in England announced Saturday.
Why it matters: Some health experts have expressed concerns that contagious new variants could be more resistant against coronavirus vaccines, potentially prolonging the pandemic.
By the numbers: Public Health England, an executive agency of the U.K. Health Department, said in a statement Saturday that research conducted from April 5 to May 16 found that:

Why it matters: Some health experts have expressed concerns that contagious new variants could be more resistant against coronavirus vaccines, potentially prolonging the pandemic.
By the numbers: Public Health England, an executive agency of the U.K. Health Department, said in a statement Saturday that research conducted from April 5 to May 16 found that:
- Two weeks after the second dose, the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was 88% effective against symptomatic disease from the B.1.617 variant first detected in India. It's 93% effective against the B.1.1.7 variant first found in England.
- Two doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine were "60% effective against symptomatic disease from the B.1.617 variant compared to 66% effectiveness against the B.1.1.7 variant."
- Both vaccines were 33% effective against symptomatic disease from B.1.617, three weeks after the first dose compared to roughly 50% effectiveness against the B.1.1.7 variant.
- U.K. Health Secretary Matt Hancock said in the statement that due to this "groundbreaking" research gave officials confidence that those vaccinated against the coronavirus "have significant protection against this new variant."
- Health experts expect this variant to soon become the "dominant strain" in the U.K., with Hancock reporting a surge in B.1.617 cases — describing the situation as a "race between the virus and the vaccine," per the Guardian.
- German authorities have imposed a ban on most non-essential travel from the U.K. from Sunday to prevent the spread of new variants in the country.

Why am I reading through this thread again and why are there so many stupid people. Just get the vaccine, or lock yourself away so you can't get SARS-CoV-2 and spread it to those vulnerable. While you're there please take a basic statistics course and please whatever you do don't EVER drive in a car, the risks are THOUSANDS of times greater then getting vaccinated.
