When is the last time you had a conversation with someone you disagreed with cordially?

Want to have one now?

How do you feel about the federal government mandating all workers to get vaccinated?

I’m happy to have a cordial conversation. I enjoy hearing from people who can respectfully disagree.

I think the mandate is despicable. It is a tyrannical move that will backfire in the long run as it is confirming the belief that many people who don’t wish to take the vaccine have - that the government just wants control. It’s equivalent to a parent saying “Because I said so…”

There’s too much poor messaging, and do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do.

Yes, I kind of regret getting my vaccinations at this point. I think I probably already had gotten Covid in January 2020 and I am a healthy 30 year old. So, probably no boosters for me. 🤣

Vaccination is necessary for the safety and health of the population. As a teacher I care about my students emotionally, physically and academically. If we are not vaccinated how are we protecting our students and providing a learning none restrictive learning environment? And How are we protecting ourselves?

I think vaccination has been shown to be a great help, especially for those at high risk of negative outcomes as a result of getting covid (especially those in poor health and elderly).

It hasn't been proven to be necessary for those who've had Covid and retain natural protection, nor has it been demonstrated to be necessary for children, who are not at high risk.

I'm vaccinated, but I haven't been convinced that the vaccine is the cure all. Especially as we're seeing the positive benefits of the vaccine decline over time, but natural immunity retain.

Hi, I cleared all the rounds in mindtree as per the information from mindtree recruitment team. But my current status in their portal is "Parked"(Earlier it was "Shortlisted").

May I know how long does it take to get offer from mindtree once all rounds are cleared. I'm bit concerned becuz it's more than 17 days now

I am worried I will not be able to climb the ladder because of my personality. Any tips on how women on the more introverted side of the spectrum have made it in consulting?

Hello friends! Who knows what brought you here, but I'm curious as to what subjects you feel would be most helpful to bandy about.

What would encourage you? Stimulate thought? Elicit laughter?

Whatever it is, and whoever you are, you matter because you exist, and that value is innate. I'll always advocate for compassion over judgment.

What do you think:

Teachers should/should not discuss their opinions and ideas around sexuality, gender, and religion with students.

Why do teachers (and people) move so quickly into personal attacks when others disagree? We teach our students not to do this. Why can't the adults behave in the way we teach others to?

Happy to be here! Politically speaking: I consider myself a Classic Liberal (JFK Liberal: “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”) Constitutional conservative, fiscally moderate, socially liberal.
