Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

What Is Tetanus? An Essay on a Vaccine in Search of a Disease
https://unbekoming.substack.com/p/what-is-tetanus
Excerpt/Conclusion:-
Explain It To A 6 Year Old
Imagine a kid steps on a nail. The nail goes deep into the foot. The skin closes back over the hole. Inside the foot, where you can’t see, there’s now a little pocket with no air and some pieces of the nail and some dirt. The pocket gets sick. The body has trouble cleaning it because the way out is too small. The pocket gets sicker. The poisons from the sick pocket spread into the rest of the body. Now the kid has a bad sickness called lockjaw.
For a long time, doctors thought the sickness came from a tiny bug that lived in the dirt on the nail. They made a shot to fight the tiny bug. They gave the shot to every kid in case any kid ever stepped on a nail.
Then some other doctors looked very closely at the wounds of soldiers in a big war. They found the tiny bug in lots of wounds where there was no sickness at all. The bug was just there, cleaning up. It wasn’t the cause of the sickness. The sickness came from the closed-over pocket and the dead bits inside it, not from the bug.
If a kid does step on a nail, the right thing to do is open the wound, let it bleed a little, wash it carefully, take out any dead bits, and let the air get in. That’s how you stop the closed pocket from forming. No shot is needed. No shot helps with this. Doctors who try to give the shot afterwards are giving it after the moment when it would help, even if the shot worked, which it doesn’t really.
And the kid who never steps on a nail, and most kids never do, doesn’t need any of it.
The first video is an interesting little short video from the 5th anniversary of 9/11. GW is in the Rose Garden, giving a short little speech to the press, this is NOT the speech that is in the White House archives.
Go to the 3:45 mark: GW talks about the information that the CIA gathered from the terrorists that they captured. Interesting little bit of information, I’m sure it’s just a coincidence and had nothing to do with anyone covering their tracks.
Here’s the link to that video: https://youtu.be/lSlH-MZ9J6M?si=w0CBI5FPkKYJgmBA
And in case you didn’t know, Trump remarked about the buildings on the day that it happened.
Here’s that link to the video: https://youtu.be/EmM755AaTlA?si=utqZ5NJsqLTf8TMd
One more thing: When did Q say “the start” was? July 16, 1999, when JFK jr’s plane went down.
Do you think maybe Trump knew, even then?
