Shaking hands should end. Asians prefer the slight bow. Another reason they have better Covid numbers.

Harris wipes her hand after shaking hands with South Korean President Moon Jae. Poor guy politely submits to western custom, then gets dissed.


Trump said he would prefer we bow like in Asia. He hated shaking hands.
The President is a fink.

Vaccination against covid should be required.


Why?

My body, my choice.

Should insurance companies not cover smoking related illnesses?
Should insurance companies not cover obesity related disease?
Should insurance companies not cover treatment for STDs?

As long as you agree with my 3, I'll agree with your one... ok?



That is not a fair comparison.

If you smoke or have pre-existing conditions (STDs) you will pay more for health insurance.

If you refuse to get the vaccinated you should also pay more as you are also a member of a riskier group.

I think insurance companies should cover everyone, but people who are riskier will have to pay more.

Is that a diss? What if his hand was moist? If we meet and your hand is moist, then you will be similarly dissed.

He probably just wants to see more cleavage...not that I necessarily blame him for that.

I don’t think it should be required for everyone.

It should be required to get on a plane.
....to go to a sporting event/concert.
....to go on a cruise.
etc.

Vaccine passports are the way to go. Let the anti-vaxxer dumbasses sit at home by themselves while the rest of us move on.

But he mostly meets with guys.

It was something to really respect him for. All the hands you have to shake in politics, he put up with it and never complained.

That's not an unconditional right.

That argument for pro-choice is only allowed under very specific circumstances. In fact opponents have done as much as possible to limit it more and more.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Trump is quite the showman, quite the pitch man: a necessary corollary is a need to press the flesh.

Whatever it takes to build the brand.

Respect him for adhering to a long-established social convention?

Sure, but that still brings his total up to one.
