It's not a case of BEING the best, but DOING things to the BEST of *YOUR* ability. Not doing so is inexcusable, unless you're ill or infirm. Otherwise it's just sheer laziness or incompetence, which I have no time for!

How do you think I got to where I am now running my own successful business - by tolerating or accepting laziness or incompetence from either my staff or suppliers? Oh poor bloke, he can't help being 'crap'... Fuck that. I'd still need to work for a living if that had been the case. You should always strive to achieve the highest standards you're capable of. Simples.

I can't be bothered with folk who muddle through life, doing the absolute minimum that they can to get by, when if they wanted, could do so much better. Those folk, along with the intrinsically idle, rip my knitting!

Making an honest mistake, is a different matter, because we're all fallible creatures, but not because of laziness, gross negligence or incompetence - at least under anything else but the most exceptional of circumstances.

But this will almost certainly have been an exceptional circumstance. You're not likely to get a serial incompetent working in a high security lab, unless it's their first day, and even then it's unlikely that if they were that poor they'd get that position in the first place.

Watch some episodes of Air Crash Investigation, you see plenty of dedicated competent individuals screwing up. Only has to happen the once.

Most of us do jobs where you can screw up and no-one dies. When we do screw up - and we all do - it doesn't tend to stick in our memories since the consequences are not that serious.

Only with internal matters though. I think we're talking about some international justice process, the Hague was mentioned.

I suppose that they could just whack out whoever was responsible, like they did with Bin Laden. Although some people like a juicy show trial.

Toke a while to do that! and because the people that where winging about it where the very same that trained him when it was convenient to have them against the evil Russians
And now they are camming home tail behind the back whit nothing to show whit but loads of ex Veterans not being able to have a life anymore

Why not destroying the Poppy fields instead that are still financing a different Bin laden
I seen the (highly illegal) video of a British convoy drive past this perfect square of greenery in the desert and when asked I got told by this 3 tour's veteran yes that is a poppy field and no we never touch them we got told not to

Then steps (as in no stone unturned) should be taken to find out *exactly who* was responsible, and by that I really mean the country and those in charge making all the decisions. There should a MASSIVE investigation into that accordingly, and whoever was responsible made to admit it and be dealt a suitable punishment.

Also, why do we need all these (intrinsically dangerous) labs in the first fucking place? Exactly how much REAL GOOD do they do? And is it worth the risk causing something so dreadful that the world has now experienced, simply for them to fulfil their purpose (whatever that is)?

The fact is, the risk of deadly viruses escaping would be a damn sight reduced, if there were a damn sight LESS of these labs in the first place!!!

We spend OBSCENE amounts of money on stuff that isn't really of great importance (to the vast majority of people), and fucking weapons, instead of spending it curing the likes of world famine and poverty!

Make PEACE, not WAR. That's what the vast majority of the world's population want.

The poppies are how they are making a living, if they burned them down every man-jack of them would go over to the Taliban or ISIS. Some problems you just can't solve.

The British army always likes to have some sort of war going on somewhere, as do the yanks. Now they're pretty much out of Afghanistan something else will come along, you watch.

[Marco]

The British army always likes to have some sort of war going on somewhere, as do the yanks...

And *exactly why* is that? I can see no cause for good in it, if your idea of 'good' is as peaceful a world as possible. All it is, is a rather vulgar waste of obscene amounts of money and lives, in order to bolster someone's ego!

Some folk have war on the brain - and we wonder why the world's in such a state?

Marco.

[Macca]

And *exactly why* is that? .

same as any professional army 1) show that they're still required 2) Keep their eye in.

Not just the British and the Yanks, the French are always fighting somewhere too, Africa mostly. Just very rare it makes the news at least not outside of France.

puppy ?
That is cryptic please expand over "puppy"

I would not worry over much of what is in this kind of news, they came up whit any crap if they have an empty space between the commercials and bad news sell the rags.

Same dude was saying to give people bleach, same kind of story...

Hi Sandro, "puppy" is my new dog - six month old Staffy /English bulldog cross, , so quite a small stomach, she has been farting so much over the last couple of days that I have considered leaving home

[guy]

If any good has to came out of this is that the mitigating intervention of masks and distancing hand washing may be useful in preventing flu and Pneumonia. hopefully we will no frown when seeing peoples wearing a mask in the future

I may not need to, but but I still wear one in public enclosed spaces and I am a supporter of the company I work for decision to make the use of face mask mandatory.

Remember that face mask are not there to protect you, the function is to protect others from you.
Any one wearing a mask show cares and respect for others.

exactly how I feel about them

Well if you get covid that way loads of peoples would be happy to know, nearly 20 months and counting and no go in between animal has been found.

To quote Satan himself (Fauci 2012) "not only this research is necessary it is also worth the risk" talking about gain of function research sorry that is incorrect, his favourite word of late, I was meant to say Experiments and cite the paper origin date paragraph and comas, still I am not sure if Experiments are meant to have a capital E or not and late 17th century French pronunciation

Agree whit you but the vast majority got nought to say when 5% own 95% of the money
