Consider the context. It doesn’t know that soap is a cleansing agent.

It’s trying to get the soap off, as a desperate act. It’s not cleaning in the sense of how we deliberately put soap on ourselves to cleanse ourselves.

No shit, but he is trying to clean the soap off him. not use the soap to clean dirt off of him. The rat didnt grab some soap and started lathering up. They purposely covered the rat in soap so it would have to clean itself and make it look like the rat was bathing like a human. How is that so hard to understand?

Context maketh the scene... Consider two scenarios:

Wow. Both people in omak saw it!

And just like an alcoholic, the first step to rectification is acknowledging there’s a problem.

Yikes - never heard that story but Harvey Keitel is another guy that always gave me the creeps frankly. I think he is cosmically related to Sean Penn. They both look like they smell really bad.

Obvious shill for Big Parsnip

Freedom of choice is important but only where this does not impinge on another person’s rights (in particular the right to life). Following your argument you could say a murderer had the right to chose to murder. In principle, how is this any different? If you do not vaccinate you are contributing to the deaths of…

I choose to drive 130 miles an hour on the freeway. How dare the government tell me what to do?! It’s MY CHOICE! EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH! I have a close friend who follows the speed limit, and she got in a car accident and died. FOLLOWING THE SPEED LIMITS KILLS! HITLER! Go collect your…

Do you have the right to drink and drive? No, because you could kill someone. It’s the same with vaccines.

Avoiding vaccinations is one thing. Imposing yourself on the rest of us afterwards is a different matter. If the public schools or Disney want to shun you then, that’s all perfectly reasonable. We shouldn’t have to put up with your pestilence resevoirs.

Actually the majority want a freedom to choose to NOT have their infants, young, or old die because a few tinfoil hat wearing crazy mofos like you believe in pseudoscience, putting a great amount of the population at risk. Or are you just one of those grim reaper types who enjoys gambling with other people’s lives?

So if my choice is to do away with you, that’s my right?

Society requires you to do a number of things for the safety of others: get training and a licence and insurance for your car, for instance. If it were only possible to kill yourself with your car, those laws would not be necessary.

Vaccination is a lot like car training and insurance: it works best when everyone has…

They do have a right to choose. They just can’t send their children to public schools with the children of those parents that chose correctly.

I agree that forcing medications on an adult is not acceptable. However, if some quack told you to have your child drink bleach to cure them of autism (this is a real movement and it can kill a child so don’t try it), is that not child abuse? The state is merely protecting the rights of all of the other children in…

You still have a choice: vaccinate your kids or keep them at home. You don’t have some unconditional right to a publicly-funded education while flouting public health measures.

Do you think traffic laws should also be optional? Those exist to increase net safety.

Imagine the paradise we could have if we weren’t forced to obey traffic regulations either! I’d love to blast my car up the wrong side of the road at 200kph!
