> [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > Is it just part of what “non-contagious” means that eludes you, or is it the entire concept? Maybe what’s confusing is the part where pneumonia is [incorrectly labeled noncontagious](http://www.medicinenet.com/is_pneumonia_contagious/article.htm): > [@](#): > > Because pneumonia is caused mainly by infectious microbes, pneumonia can be contagious. Pneumonia caused by chemical fumes or other poisons not made by infectious agents is not contagious. I’m also not at all pleased with someone continuing to work when they’re sick. I’ve seen some memes suggesting that this is what working women do. No: it’s what the working poor, and workaholics, do. If you can afford not to, and if you’re contagious, it’s irresponsible to do so. I still haven’t forgiven Jim Henson. That said, ferchrissakes, all this tells us it that, NEWSFLASH, a presidential candidate is a workaholic. So fuckin what? Is this news to anyone? ---

You really think she hasn’t been diagnosed by half the doctors in Sickville? Move on, dude, you’re making yourself look silly. This is a classic example of the internet disappearing up its own ass. ---

> [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > Is it just part of what “non-contagious” means that eludes you, or is it the entire concept? There are many Pneumonias that are contagious and some which are not. There is no Pneumonia germ it is caused by a Varity of different sources including bacteria and viruses, which are contagious, and funguses and parasites which are non-contagious. For example the flu virus can cause Pneumonia. The fact that it caused a Pneumonia doesn’t suddenly make that flu virus less dangerous or less contagious. ---

> [@Starving\_Artist](#): > > Her previous activities don’t matter because no one’s lives are impacted by them (or at least not in a way that’s obvious), and they’re what is expected that a candidate will do. It’s also expected that a candidate will lie from time to time. The reason her lies matter is that she lies constantly, and often when it doesn’t even matter. This creates the impression that she’s manipulative. And people don’t like it when they feel they’re being manipulated. It creates issues with trust and is an insult to their intelligence. Why do her lies matter but Trumps constant, blatant, parade of lies seemingly gets glossed over? In fact, what are her lies? Are there any details on these lies or is it more vague “Hilary is evil” stuff that everybody seems to know about but nobody can actually say what they are? ---

And none of them apparently knows what the term “body double” means. A body double whose voice sounds exactly like that of the person being impersonated–that’s unusual! Remember, Hillary spoke in front of dozens of witnesses, when walking out to her car. I can’t see that a recording being played would have been at all convincing–the direction of sound would have sounded very “off” if a recording were being played from inside the building. The only way it could have convinced all those onlookers is if the woman herself was speaking–so she must have the ability to sound exactly like HRC. So where has this person been, all these years that Hillary wasn’t running for President? Presumably someone would be able to ID a woman who not only looked exactly like Hillary but also sounds exactly like her. All those years, and no one knows _anything_ about the double…??? ---
