My dad's cousin's husband died from Corona, they were married for 17 years and she made a post about it on FB and my aunt was mad about it and was done being apolitical about all this so she was so blunt and I had never seen her so honest before lol about wearing masks and told everyone to wear your god damn mask and she is done being polite and apolitical about this whole virus thing. :lol:

And my dad's cousin lives in Montana and they were already wearing masks when around lot of people but didn't keep a social distance.

I'm sick of hearing low-info conspiracy chuds insisting that masks violate their rights.

Oh, did you know that wearing masks also kills you. :lol:

Apparently we want everyone dead by wanting everyone to wear masks but that is the medical field doing it and the gov going along with it to thin down the human population. The rest of us are sheeple and we want to die as well. :wink:

... or that we are "sheeple" who have "drank the Kool-Aid" for wearing them.

I would rather be a live sheep than a dead chud.

No one wants tickets and fines and people being kicked out of stores and laundromats, but what else are the authorities going to do?
This organism is deadly!
We do not know what the results of these vaccines will be!

I think if the government mandated that everyone had to have a barcode tattooed on their forehead, millions would comply and turn against those who didn't like it.

I share your frustration with the anti-maskers. But I think a better analogy is challenging someone to blow out candles while wearing a mask (as someone in this thread did).

As for the pee analogy: Personally, I think it would actually be worse to get peed on while wearing clothes than to get peed on while naked. If I'm naked, then, to clean myself off, all I have to do is take a shower. On the other hand, if my clothes got peed on, then I have to wash the clothes (sooner than I otherwise would) as well as take a shower.

The blow out candles idea doesn't always work. It is a good test to see how well your mask is made, but try blowing out a candle through a single layer of tshirt material and compare that to a couple of layers of flannel.

I can't think of any likely circumstances under which it would be necessary for the government to enact a law or regulation. Can you?

Anyhow, here in the U.S.A. at least, anyone who proposed such a law would surely be voted out of office, both by (1) the many evangelical Christians who, for the past 50 years are so, have expected that the prophesied Mark of the Beast would take that precise form, and by (2) the many more people who would regard a barcode on their forehead as just ugly.

A barcode won’t stop disease.It might make it quicker checking out at the store ,but I’ll just stick to my debit card.

I would suggest not trolling if that is the purpose of this post.

His wisdom seems to reflect the ignorance and deception of Fox News, Newsmax, and the One American News Network.  No, I am not saying that HE is ignorant and deceptive, but that his wisdom seems heavily influenced by the ignorant lies told by those three fake-news networks.

No trolling intended. I just think there are many in the general population who go along with what they're told to do way too easily and get angry with those who even question whether they should or not.

I would seem to me that him saying he pities both liberals and conservatives who don't question the what the media tells them, would include conservatives who don't question Fox et al. It's probably hard to see what's actually being said while in "they must be MAGA" mode.

I don't think this is a person you want to defend. They are banned for a while for posts that were extremely inappropriate and are no longer public and that's all I can say on the matter.
