    Were Twitter and Facebook right to ban Trump?

    Scary how many yes votes there were and how many ignorant comments around fact checking. You CANNOT give the responsibility for checking facts to any entity - government or private. Responsibility for checking your facts is up to YOU - do not delegate this responsibility. Do not allow others to...

    Will you install the COVID Alert SA app?

    Not doing it on principle. More and more people are speaking out against the fraud we have all been subjected to. By installing the app (which is going to have very little measurable effect) we are giving our conscent to the measures and actions taken (justifying them) - I cannot and will not do...

    Will you heed the president's call?

    Can't do ti but I do support the initiative. There is something extremely human about people coming together and cooperating - and this is no exception. We can focus on all the negative things the ANC and CR has done - and out of spite ignore this call. The trick is to look for where initiatives...

    Which lockdown regulation made/makes the least sense to you?

    None of them made sense. No science or data to backup a lock down. Evidence shows significant harm done as a result both in economic damage as well as excess deaths (the latter are excessive when you look at the additional number of people that died over and above COVID) Our rights have been...

    Do you (still) go to the gym?

    Non attendance has been because Gym is closed. Beyond that I have no problem with going to the gym but only if it operates under certain conditions. I don't want any mask nonsense being thrown at me or any other authoritarian driven restrictions put in my way. My teenage kids must be allowed to...

    Do you think Showmax Pro will be successful in South Africa?

    I personally don't think that the direction taken by media distribution is going in the right direction. For a time they seemed to have got it right, Netflix was aggregating content but they have now decided to split back into the old satallite / bouquet model which in my view is going...

    Do you think the lockdown curfew serves a purpose?

    Why obvious? It is unprecendented - no data to support that a lock down works so why obvious? The obvious route was to shield the vulnerable. We knew very very early on what the nature of this thing was - the Diamond Princess gave us a perfect laboratory environment - it told us infection rates...

    Do you think the lockdown curfew serves a purpose?

    Depends on how you look at it. From the perspective of those wanting to gain advantage then the answer is yes - it is a means to control and manipulate. If we are talking from the perspective of managing the "pandemic", first we have to establish if there is actually a pandemic or if what we are...

    How concerned are you about getting COVID-19?

    I would put myself in a moderate risk category based on age and hypertension. My perspective is that life is not a guarantee - we did not get where we are by hiding in a cave. The young are at very very low risk from this virus the future belongs to them - not to those of us in the high risk age...

    Showing certain forums to registered members only

    While I understand the sentiment my feeling is that open discussions are critical to getting to the heart of issues. There is too much silencing going on, too much trying to squash discussions because they are difficult. Doing so does not make these issues go away. I see this move as putting a...

    Should movies which are racially insensitive be removed from streaming platforms?

    Why stop at racial issues, why not sex, violence, foul language, waltzing, farting, death of animals - the list goes on. You cannot solve racism by shining a light on it. Once the systematic issues (I am talking laws) have been removed - the next step is for those who were oppressed learning to...

    Avengers: Endgame - Rate the movie (Warning: Spoilers)

    It was entertaining - as these sorts of movies go it was well done - however when you are suffering from FX fatigue the best parts were the non-action / human interaction bits. Wanted to doze off through yet another battle scene - like car chases - these have had their run - we need something...
