Re: I never thought (93,357) (93,360) by Anonymous from I'm so sorry Tijl, the news of your friend is truly heartbreaking. (Monday 23 March 2020; 09:59)

Re: I never thought (93,354) (93,359) by Lighty from China Oh, you're calling me an SJW, but am I? If someone shout to you face something like "**** USA", what would you say? I've been a frequent visitor to MCArchives since the early 00s and I read the comments on this messageboard every now and then but I just rarely talk, because my English is not very good. I enjoy so much reading you guys' comments here, even Andrew's, because sometimes I find his opinions, as direct as they are, honest and truthful. But not this time. This time, he's just being mean, as he always is. This should be my last time posting here, and I still hope you guys all safe and sound, including Andrew. One of my friends' sister, who's a nurse, went to one of the hospitals in the most infectious province to support, and she got infected too (recovering now, God bless). So please stay at home, wash hands, and wear masks. (Monday 23 March 2020; 09:58)

Re: Correct, you didn't think (93,355) (93,358) by Lighty from China I used the term "appear" because, first of all, China didn't intentionally create that virus and then whether it's caused by China or not is still hung in doubt. You may wanna watch this video where this Italian doctor stating that symptoms of the coronavirus were reported back in December or as early as November in Italy where in China the first report was in late December. I'm not trying to find an excuse, and yes, our local government tried to hide the fact (but failed at last) and it caused thousands of deaths in China, and the whole nation is blaming them, too. I just hope you could read more information before making a final conclusion. And if you still stick to your opinion, then fine. I never said anything nasty to you so I'm really disappointed that you need to directly say something like "**** you" to me. If that's a common western manner, I get it.

Re: I never thought (93,352) (93,357) by Tijl from Belgium I didn't read that message so I take back those words. The other things I wrote, not so much. Time to get real people. This is a fan board indeed, but I think most people don't quite realize what we are facing. The reality of it all: I have a friend who suffers from cancer (she isn't infected) and she will leave for the hospital today. She is in her last days. Thanks to Corona nobody will be aloud [sic] to visit her, and she will spend her last hours surrounded by complete strangers. Furthermore no decent funeral service will be possible because the current pandemic does not allow it. She will be silently buried as a child's pet goldfish. That is the effect on the world: innocent people who are ripped of basic human rights. No racism but a lot of anger because certain people have acted without any sense of responsibility or respect to others. (Monday 23 March 2020; 07:13)

Re: Correct, you didn't think (93,355) (93,356) by Aliya from Canada I think the solution should involve rules and regulations for what animals are safe to eat and which are not. A proper infectious disease list that allows people to eat animals that we know for sure do not carry viruses. These rules should be implemented worldwide. And if they are not followed, there should be serious consequences, such as jail time and fines. But yes, it is true that in China, many people have a culture where they eat animals that are odder than normal. And from this, I hope people who follow this type of culture understand the consequences of it, like the world-wide COVID-19 pandemic that is happening right now. (Monday 23 March 2020; 03:14)

Re: Correct, you didn't think (93,347) (93,355) by Andrew from the United Kingdom "The fact that the virus first appeared in China is indeed, a fact. I never denied that." The virus did not just "appear" in China, it was *caused* by China and the true situation *covered up* by China at a time when assistance to limit the spread could have been given. "'But one thing is for sure: we should ban all flights from that country forever. And not trade one single grain of rice with them. Forever.' is what I consider the part that's racist." I am sorry that not wanting to continue to import avoidable mass-killing viruses from your country offends your moral sensibilities. But I would rather that we were not all on lockdown with people dropping dead left, right and centre. "If the first infected patient is a black person, and you say something like 'we should ban all flights from taking black passengers', you know what you'll be facing with." Chinese is not a race; it is a nationality. And if you really think that the world is going to continue with China as normal once this total and utter disaster is over (whenever that is) you have another think coming. The world has gone to shit and when people point out the route cause you cry "racism". So yes, [censored] China. And you, too. (Monday 23 March 2020; 00:35)

Re: I never thought (93,351) (93,354) by John from USA The SJWs of the world are the biggest bullies of our time. Their power cannot be denied - calling out -isms where there really isn't, canceling everyone that goes in their way. According to them, we live in the worst of times because all the -isms of the world are now at the highest rates ever. These vile creatures are the biggest scourge in the history of humankind - SJWs are people who have "Addiction Outrage" - they want to create problems where there are none - only to feel important and to feel good about themselves. They move from getting outraged by one thing, then another, post about it, and feel like the heroes they unfortunately aren't. Dear SJW: Please stop being a plague to humanity.

Re: Andy Cohen (93,350) (93,353) by RibbonB from USA I said nothing hateful or about hate. Trump is in fact inept and more concerned about his image than the health and welfare of U.S. citizens. He's a clown and his ego is detrimental to our well being. He lies daily and accepts no blame. Be upset and be concerned for your own hygiene. (Sunday 22 March 2020; 23:51)

Re: I never thought (93,346) (93,352) by RibbonB from USA Actually, someone did say that. (Sunday 22 March 2020; 20:04)

Re: I never thought (93,342) (93,351) by Bill from the UK But the fact is China has caused this global pandemic through eating bats, of all things, and other rodents and vermin that are swimming in disease, along with unhygienic practices, and a totalitarian government that tried to suppress numbers and facts when they should have warned the rest of the world about the outbreak so all flights with Chinese nationals could have been refused entry. Millions of people will die and I don't doubt a number of us on this very board will be impacted directly either through family becoming ill, ourselves becoming ill, or the economic catastrophe that awaits us all. God forbid for any of our loved ones to die because of the Chinese virus. (Sunday 22 March 2020; 18:28)

Re: Andy Cohen (93,341) (93,350) by Chris from United States Now this is getting interesting; there are folks on here who obsess about what color Mariah's farts are, who are talking politics, pointing fingers, placing blame, and continue with their hate parade (which can often be about Mariah herself). You know nothing about the inner workings of politics, and whatever you think you know is as good as what's in your toilet. People need not focus on hate, rather they should be washing their hands and their emotions, because your personal hate and discord (which no one cares about) is only contributing to the fuel that's already been set on this world.

Mariah called David Foster "the maestro" (93,349) by T from USA After seeing her reply to David Foster and never to Walter (although she did mention his name on that Amazon docu) I think I can finally see that the reunion will never be happening. How would it be if she reconnected and worked with Foster for some future classics? If I would have to rate her ballad producers I would say: 1. Walter A 2. Big Jim Wright 3. Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis 4. Marc Shaiman 5. David Foster 6. Babyface 7. Randy Jackson 8. Daniel Moore (Sunday 22 March 2020; 18:04)

Re: I never thought (93,346) (93,348) by Lighty from China Scroll down to message No. 93,336 and try telling me again no one said **** China. (Sunday 22 March 2020; 16:48)

Re: Correct, you didn't think (93,345) (93,347) by Lighty from China The fact that the virus first appeared in China is indeed, a fact. I never denied that. "But one thing is for sure: we should ban all flights from that country forever. And not trade one single grain of rice with them. Forever." is what I consider the part that's racist.

Re: I never thought (93,342) (93,346) by Tijl from Belgium Nobody has said [censored] China. The reality is that the world is now suffering because of a virus that originates from that exact country. The consequences of Corona on the world will be devastating. (Sunday 22 March 2020; 13:44)

Correct, you didn't think (93,345) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Read this. And then take your attempt at collective victimhood and shouts of racism and do one. Something is very wrong in that part of the world and it keeps [censored] up the rest of it. Facts are not racist and they don't care about your feelings. However, as an individual, I hope, like I do everyone else, that you get through it. Because millions will not. (Sunday 22 March 2020; 13:12)

Re: I never thought (93,342) (93,344) by RibbonB from USA I'm so glad things are improving there. Thanks for the first hand warning and reminder to all of us to stay inside. (Sunday 22 March 2020; 13:04)

Don't wear princess gown at Grammy Awards (93,343) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Just my observation, if you wear princess kind of dress (big skirt) to the Grammy, you might get snubbed completely. Mariah wore one for her performance in 1996, she lost all her nominations. Rihanna lost all her nominations for Grammy 2017. Finally, Ariana joined the group for Grammy 2020. All of them have one similarity; they wore princess big gown kind of dress. Just for laughs. Don't take this seriously. (Sunday 22 March 2020; 06:15)

I never thought (93,342) by Lighty from China That some of the most racist comments I'd ever read would show up here, on a messageboard of my favorite artist. I could just assume that most of you have never been to China, even once. You might think that Chinese culture allow people to kill wild animals and eat them, but all I can say is that before this virus became a thing, most Chinese people don't even know bats could be eaten. As of now, 3267 Chinese people died from this virus and we suffered much more than you could ever imagine. It really breaks my heart to see someone on this board would loudly shout out something like "[censored] China". But all I can say to everyone on this board is, please do stay at home as much as possible, I hope you all safe and sound. And to some certain people, the more you curse us, the more you're blessing us, but still, I wish you well. (Sunday 22 March 2020; 05:04)

Re: Andy Cohen (93,340) (93,341) by RibbonB from USA Sadly people voted for a racist clown for president. What's even worse is corrupt Republican Senators voted to keep him when there was a perfect opportunity to be rid of him with impeachment. Now because of his greed and his stupidity we are less safe and I'll prepared for a pandemic. I hope he and his cronies lose it all, after getting arrested for insider trading. Trump'S delusional and dangerous, IMO. (Saturday 21 March 2020; 19:34)

Andy Cohen (93,340) by Bobby A from United States Andy Cohen just announced that he has tested positive. I pray he makes a full recovery. Contacting this virus is much more than being close [to] someone. It has to be more easier to contract by just breathing the airspace where is living and growing. I really think our government really doesn't know how the virus is contracted. I wished we had a president who could have prepared us for this virus back in January. Americans spent two months not preparing believing our government had everything under control. In the state Georgia, we had 121 cases on Monday. On Friday, we have over 400 cases now and 14 deaths. Please stay safe everyone and protect yourself. This is really happening in the world. (Saturday 21 March 2020; 03:03)

Re: We're in this together (93,336) (93,339) by Tijl from Belgium As President Macron said: "Certain consequences will follow and certain institutions have a lot of explaining to do." To know that a Chinese scientist has been arrested and killed by his own government because he wanted to warn the world about the effects of this virus says it all. The silver lining, however strange it may sound, is that this virus exposes everything that is wrong with our social structure and that people around the world will stand up. Our leaders are hardly capable of protecting us not to mention the many errors that have been made over the last months. We will rise from the ashes but we will have to fight for a different world. The current one has clearly reached its due date. (Friday 20 March 2020; 21:43)

Re: We're in This Together - Simply Red (93,337) (93,338) by Tijl from Belgium I can't stand him. Simply bad in my opinion. (Friday 20 March 2020; 20:41)

We're in This Together - Simply Red (93,337) by Billy from Greece Not sure how many people know this, but this is also the title of a Simply Red song from the mid-90s. (Friday 20 March 2020; 18:42)

Re: We're in this together (93,334) (93,336) by Andrew from the United Kingdom Non Mariah related but j have to day I absolutely agree with your sentiments. The Chinese culture is far removed from what we would consider normality. Hacking away at exotic animals without hygienic practices and consuming the things when we have no immunity against what's inside them is frankly mental. (Someone sent me a video the other day of people being served live mice in a restaurant in China eating them live with forks.) That this Chinese Flu is yet another if not the most serious pandemic we will have faced because of one country's weirdness is not on. Business collapsing, mass unemployment, people will be homeless and starving and the end to modern civilization is near. Nothing is going to be the same ever again. But one thing is for sure: we should ban all flights from that country forever. And not trade one single grain of rice with them. Forever. And they had the cheek to try to blame the Americans. The word probably won't get through the censorship here but - [censored] China. (Friday 20 March 2020; 18:42)
