Haha, I beg to differ...fill your mind with lies and it will eventually kill you...
Better get off IPCT then, this is social media. People may say things you dont agree with or that will hurt your feelings, or even lie right?
There are lots of reasons for suicide. Some I understand, some I don't. But at the end of the day only one person makes that decision.
And don’t confuse logic with lack of compassion. I like many know people who committed suicide. I grieve for them and their families.
There are heinous acts and situations that allow one to understand and empathize with the deceased.
But being bullied on social media isnt one. One can choose to participate in open discussion with all of the good and bad that comes with that, or not.

The whole Internet is Social Media. It is a broad spectrum. Sadly, our youth are glued to their phones and are being attacked by continuous Lies. "There are more than two genders, you can be any gender you want". "Men can get pregnant." This is extremely dangerous/destructive for our youth. It is the reason Trans. has the highest suicide rate of any group.
Next, add Online Bullying. Sadly, it remains online pretty much forever. This is a huge difference from when we grew up where all is forgotten.
I truly feel for our youth, they are pressured to have an online presence. Phones and Social Media has made them Addicts...don't believe me, try to take away a phone from our youth.

I suppose with that logic crime can be attributed to social media too? I mean when people post that you’re discriminated against and your position in life is someone else’s fault therefore it’s morally acceptable to steal or use violence?
The difference is simply numbers and lack of censorship. You should be following the EU vs X saga currently playing out.
In the late 1700’s, early 1800s mass communication didn’t exist. Your world view and beliefs were dictated by a very small group of family and neighbors.
Newspapers came along and occasionally printed less than accepted opinions, even lies, but by and large your social circle was quite small. Opinions were dictated by pressure from that small group, family, church, social gathering.
Those who held different beliefs were socially excluded from the group. Censorship in its purest form dictated what you knew and what you believed.
Then they invented that damn evil telegraph. Your world view was changed as you discovered people and things that didn’t 100% agree with yours from thousands of miles away. News, cultures and events you may have previously never heard about were transmitted almost real time. Including outright lies.
Air travel, telephones, and then the Internet all contributed to everyone around the globe having a voice and you had to use your noggin and values to sort out which opinion you agreed with and which you didn’t. What was true and what was a lie.
My 5th Great Grandfather and his 8 children’s view of the world in 1756 was about 25 miles and less than 100 other families in the hills of West Virginia on Hackers Creek with the occasional visit to a larger population center to sell his crops or buy supplies they couldn’t make themselves.
One of his offspring was tempted by the ways of the big city, moved to Wheeling and died a drunk and cocaine addict. Thankfully others made it through to the Industrial Revolution and integrated into the growing population centers along the Ohio River valley working in the mills, brickyards and potteries working long hours and raising families.
At the end of the day my values, beliefs, opinions and ability to determine what is true or not is influenced by my parents, and my own curiosity of the world. (I leave out education because I only did high school and 1.5 years of college, and it didn’t have a huge effect on my views. It validated some and conflicted with others. But it didn’t fundamentally change me)
I’ve made some good choices and some bad ones.

^^^ No one had a device in their hand's spewing deception 24/7 at them. Huge difference...Today our youth are controlled by Social Media...they are targeted...sadly their parents are also addicted. Add AI control/deceptions and this will not end well...
Absolute Truth is disappearing...Social Media is a tool in which Evil is currently dominating...just look at the divisions it has caused within families...
Matthew 10:21 “Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.
22 And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.
23 When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly,
I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes."
^^^ Jesus is warning us of the times to come. The above is closer than we think, the birth pains (Matthew 24) have already started IMO, the world will not get better until His return.
There is only One Truth:
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

AI is 100X more detrimental to kids and our society than social media ever was.
AI will use Social Media to continue to communicate to our kids...warp their minds even more than they already are, sadly...
No, it will make them even lazier. It will also make parents even lazier.
Plenty of kids use social media every day. Most turn out fine.
Parenting has been outsourced for many years now and it shows.

The wife told me they, her brother and sisters, all went to a measles party. I heard of Chicken Pox parties, but not measle parties. It was, and I am sure still is, the best way to accomplish herd immunity. Get exposed, get past it...move on...
The Pandemic Revealed the Most Cowardly Society of All Time
If you think that in this article I’m going to downplay the deaths, and claim that we should have faced the pandemic without fear or anything like that, you’re wrong. That’s not what this is about.
In terms of importance, the Covid-19 pandemic was the biggest event in human history since World War II. Since that time, nothing has caused as much fear across the entire planet as what began in 2020. Because of the widespread terror, with lockdowns we reached the point of completely stopping the world, something that had never happened before in history. As proof, we were left with the frightening and dystopian photos of huge empty metropolises and airplanes parked on the runways of airports.
During the Cold War, with the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, when the Soviet Union brought nuclear missiles to Cuba, there was a lot of fear. Some families in the US and Europe even built survival bunkers in their homes. But that didn’t even come close to the worldwide scale of the terror caused by Covid-19.
However, the fear caused by the Cold War—that feeling that the world could end in nuclear explosions at any moment—even though it was more localized and lasted for a shorter time, quickly gave rise, as a positive side, to a formidable culture: the Beatles, revolutionizing music and interpreting the world, emerged from that.
The Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd came from that fear. At the same time, the miniskirt was invented, the contraceptive pill appeared, and sexual freedoms were conquered. In 1968, known as “the year that never ended,” young people all over the world wanted to be protagonists and took to the streets of cities on every continent. The hippie movement, of peace and love, arose from that brew.
I understand it was a process of liberation, in which the planet’s youth buried that well-fed fear of nuclear war. Everyone was thinking and expressing a loud and revolutionary “We want to live.”
Covid Affected the Elderly Much More
For you to keep reading this article, you need to agree with me on one single point. You need to agree that Covid-19 is a disease that affects the elderly much more than young people and children. After all, the elderly have far more comorbidities, accumulated over a lifetime, than the young. This is extremely basic, and I’m not even going to link to scientific studies that prove this fact.Sales Strategy
“You vaccinate not only for yourself. You vaccinate also to protect society and particularly to protect those that you love the most,” declared Albert Bourla, CEO of Pfizer, at the 2022 World Economic Forum meeting. That was the main message around the entire world. In Brazil, for example, on every television program the message was identical: “The vaccine protects both you and the people around you,” stated epidemiologist Pedro Hallal, rector of the Federal University of Pelotas, on TV Globo—Brazil’s biggest network—also in early 2022.What few people know is that this message had been previously studied and tested. Before rolling out the vaccines, Yale scientists conducted research to find out which messages would be most effective in getting people to comply. “It is even more effective to add language that frames vaccine uptake as a way to protect others,” the scientists concluded in the study.
In other words, the entire tone of the vaccination campaign became “Protect grandma.” From that point on, with the widely publicized idea that the Covid-19 vaccines were a social pact, politicians in various parts of the world implemented health passes and, in some cases, made vaccination mandatory for everyone—including children and babies.
There’s Just One Problem with That Message
It’s not true. The most effective marketing message claimed that Covid-19 vaccines had an ability they never actually had: reducing or stopping transmission.It was October 2022. Rob Roos, a Dutch politician, during a hearing of the European Parliament’s Special Committee on Covid-19, asked a direct question to Janine Small, a senior Pfizer executive who officially represents the company at such hearings: “Was the Pfizer Covid vaccine tested on stopping the transmission of the virus before it entered the market?” he asked. Janine answered straight: “No.”
Besides asking the manufacturer directly, another MEP put a direct question to the European Medicines Agency (EMA), which authorized the vaccines for the entire European Union. Emer Cooke, the agency’s executive director, replied by admitting: “You are indeed correct to point out that Covid-19 vaccines have not been authorised for preventing transmission from one person to another. The indications are for protecting the vaccinated individuals only.”
“EMA’s assessment reports on the authorisation of the vaccines note the lack of data on transmissibility.” Cooke added in the document.
In other words, the highly effective message that the Covid vaccines were a social pact was misleading propaganda on a global scale. But for those who pay closer attention to the industry’s track record, this comes as no surprise. According to a 2020 survey published in the journal JAMA, the largest pharmaceutical companies in the United States alone paid $33 billion in criminal and civil fines between 2003 and 2016 for illegal activities—including fraud, bribery, and false advertising.
That’s not pocket change. But the math works out: “Big pharma: penalties $2 billion/yr, revenue $600 billion/yr. Organised crime increases because crime pays,” said Peter Gøtzsche, Danish physician, professor emeritus, and co-founder of the Cochrane Collaboration—from which he was expelled for his denunciations against the pharmaceutical industry.
“Patients pay with their lives, as drugs are the leading cause of death. Why are the worst crimes on earth not stopped?” he asks.
They fooled everyone, as usual. And, as expected for something with such a massive scope of economic domination, there were no screaming headlines around the world.
Those Who Tried to Denounce It Were Censored
To fill the gap left by the major newspapers not exposing the misleading advertising, independent journalists began investigating — like Alex Berenson, former New York Times science reporter.“It’s not time to admit that the vaccines don’t stop Covid transmission? The data is clear,” Berenson posted on his Twitter in August 2021. His statement was simply true. He cited early observational studies that showed some reduction in transmission, but not elimination — especially with the Delta variant.
The next day, Twitter permanently banned him. The reason given: violation of rules for spreading “false information about Covid-19.” Soon afterward, it was proven that the White House had pressured social media platforms to censor numerous journalists, scientists, and whistleblowers who pointed out that the vaccine propaganda was misleading.
Let me put this in the proper perspective here. In the United States, freedom of speech is so deeply rooted in society that, in the name of that principle, they tolerate people marching down the street carrying Nazi flags. In other words, in the US you can walk around with one of those flags in public, but you cannot point out that there is misleading advertising about a pharmaceutical product. That crosses the line. That’s unacceptable, you know?
Possible Meager Reduction in the Short Term
By mid-2022, the Lancet was already publishing that the efficacy of the pediatric Covid vaccine against symptomatic infection dropped to a pathetic 21% after little more than a month from administration. And even then, it was without proving that the reduction in symptomatic infection actually translated into reduced disease transmission.At the very end of 2022, Vinay Prasad, a renowned professor at the University of California, published an important study in the BMJ — one of the world’s most prestigious medical journals. The study addressed the ethics of coercing low-risk young people (in terms of Covid-19 mortality) to take the Covid-19 vaccines through vaccine passports in schools and universities. His conclusion was alarming: the risk of a young person being hospitalized due to vaccine side effects was higher than the risk of being hospitalized from a possible Covid-19 infection.
The data made it clear: it would be necessary to vaccinate between 30,000 and 40,000 young people to prevent a single Covid hospitalization in this group. However, those vaccinations resulted in 18.5 serious adverse events — including myocarditis and pericarditis — which in turn caused between 1.5 and 4.6 hospitalizations. In other words, the number of hospitalizations caused by vaccine adverse events would exceed the number of Covid hospitalizations that would be prevented.
Children and Young People as Human Shields
The elderly control power: governments, corporations, and the media. The elderly were the real at-risk group. The elderly ordered children and young people — who were at very low risk from the disease — to get vaccinated under the pretext of “protecting grandma.” In other words, protecting themselves. All of it based on unproven propaganda, as the Pfizer executive and the EMA director openly admitted, that the vaccines would reduce transmission.Only one government health authority ever came close to a disguised apology for once having recommended Covid-19 vaccines for children and adolescents. That was Denmark’s Health Minister, Søren Brostrøm, in early 2022. He did it because he had once recommended the vaccine for children and adolescents aged 5 to 17. Even before Prasad’s study, in a TV interview commenting on the Danish government’s decision to end the program, Brostrøm said: “With the benefit of hindsight, we didn’t gain much from expanding the vaccination program to children in terms of epidemic control. But that’s with the benefit of hindsight.”
Yet in many countries, where there was plenty of product available, they went the opposite way and started recommending Covid vaccines for babies from 6 months of age — as happened in the United States and Brazil.
A side note: Brazil went even further and, starting in 2023, made Covid-19 vaccination mandatory for babies — becoming the only country in the world to do so. In other words, Brazil turned itself into a dumping ground for pharmaceutical products rejected everywhere else. After all, in the US, even though it was recommended for babies from 6 months, fewer than 5% of parents complied.
Second side note: now, in 2025, the United States has withdrawn that recommendation, aligning itself with most European countries. But in Brazil, this insane mandate still remains in force.
