That is why we are always reading the stories of surgical staff passing out in the the middle of surgical procedures and needing to be carried out of the room! That can't be right. I know for a fact that whether I'm wearing underwear or not my farts smell the same. Clearly there is another mechanism at work here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When people can observe how unevenly and unfairly the "rules" are applied, they're naturally going to get uppity. Nothing wrong with such natural behavior.

billvon 2,990 #60 November 24, 2020 "Good ideas don't require force." Exactly. That's why we didn't need laws against drunk driving to significantly reduce the deaths due to drunk driving in the US. Everyone realized it was a good idea and it just happened without laws, arrests, jail times and loss of vehicles. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote I would fucking LOVE for these pieces of shit to try mau-mauing me that way. Oh I see, because some BLM protesters were badly behaved, the entire movement and justification for it can be condemned. Good to know the purpose of this thread is you condemning the anti maskers, since we all know there are countless examples out there of anti-maskers screaming and shouting in the faces of anyone who gets in their way.

What I have a problem with is that there seems to be a huge double-standard when it comes to protective measures. When elected officials demand that we plebs have to lock ourselves away and wear masks in our own homes, while they party and get their hair done...I aim to misbehave.

Just because an elected official says or does something stupid. Doesn't mean I will. I never took my cues from trump and the ignorance of a left wing politician or social leader wouldn't either. Social responsibility comes from your personal values. At least you're honest enough to state your personal absence of said values. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have a snitch line here as well. I don't think many people will use it. But publicizing its existence will deter people. It is a balancing act and most of these measures are temporary. You might think of it a a generational sacrifice. In 6 months time it will be pretty much over and if you are still alive you can get the t-shirt.
