Justice Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Too funny. They’re finally SD in the WH and you say masks are now required? lol. That’s hilarious. Those idiots took long enough to follow their own advice. And what message does that send now? To the anti-mask crowd. You guys just don’t get it. You wonder why ppl wear them in their cars? Well maybe they’re going from one store to another and don’t want to fiddle with it. You wonder why they wear it in public when nobody is nearby. Once again they don’t want to fiddle with it. Before you people criticize others maybe you should think this all the way through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deaths are deaths and they count, right ? The flu is not the same , but it has claimed far more lives than Covid19 at this point and probably for quite some time. Of course the flu has claimed more than COVID. COVID has been around for what, six months? An absurd point if ever there was one. 1 minute ago, Justice said: Too funny.

The many strains of flu have been around for years and start from thousands of active cases. Are you comparing that with Covid, where the first case was in December and we will have 100,000 dead by the end of May? And those numbers are WITH social distancing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d much rather “ fiddle with it” (ie not wear it when I don’t have to) than to normalize and adopt the custom of covering faces in the USA. The more it is kept as a temporary measure the better. You think it hasn’t occurred to me or others that yes , some are just being lazy and wearing it all the time ? 1 minute ago, shoshin said: The many strains of flu have been around for years and start from thousands of active cases.

This can affect anyone and we know masks are a good idea that we ignored before but now we will listen to the scientists.” Something like that. When Trump comes out in the mask tomorrow, it will be a good message to America to do as he does. That he’s not a “do as I say not as I do” kind of person.

I guess it’s the way America works;. They can do something which I disagree, and I have the right to tell them how much I do not appreciate their behavior. You guess that’s the way America works? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wear a mask when in stores, and have for 3 weeks or so. I have great friends who will not , and i get their reasoning too Not just that, but challenge them in hopes they get tripped up, but also encourage them to find the answer and get back to you. You'll be surprised what they can do with encouragement and independent thinking. Good on you for raising your son so well. Too bad there are a lot of leftists here who are convinced they're too stupid to think for themselves, so there's on sense thinking their children ever will. On the upside, the world needs someone to make the the Burger King kiosks are working, so they have that going for them. Which is nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a deaths per million basis, we're #13 and falling like wet laundry from a 20-story building and staring up at Belgium, Spain, Italy, UK, France, Ireland...the list goes on. in fact, we're just a third of the world's deaths. And NY is a third of the US deaths. So, y'know, a little hyperbole, y'think? If you're going by pure numbers, I know you're smart enough to understand why that's a faulty way to look at things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re trivializing the flu deaths. Let me see if I can unpack this one. To engage in the affirmative act of putting on and wearing a mask is lazy. But, if I understand correctly, you have also intimated that not wearing a mask is never lazy, and instead is always a statement of some sort. That sounds like alternative logic.

You’re very easily impressed. Oh and news from the front. Took a hike out in the hills overlooking the Laguna Coast. Between the short drive to and from and the hike we saw probably 50 people. Only one mask. What a bunch of douchebags. Edited May 12, 2020 by Chef Jim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You? You’re impressed by a childish, immature brat who goes around calling people who he disagrees with “ball-lickers”. Oh and where have I said he’s performed well?

Rob's House Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) Where are y'all buying these f***ing masks? I can't even find ass wipe on the shelves. Even if I had a mask I doubt I'd wear it. Not for any principled reasons, it just seems like an unnecessary hassle. I keep my distance from others, I don't cough or sneeze in public, and I want to give people a reason to stay the hell away from me. Plus, I'm pretty sure I don't have the Kung flu, but even if I do, if a stranger gets close enough to me to catch it, he deserves what he gets.
