Calls me lazy. Only responds to a third of my post

I already said I don’t give a shite about wearing a mask. You’re the one who seems outraged

Do you advocate for people to stop driving?

Is your next crusade against shutting down fast food restaurants?

Just responding in kind

Like you don't care about a mask, I don't give a single frick about confederate statues one way or the other.

What are you even arguing?

Do you actually think this is some kind of a gotcha?

Yes, you just said "slippery slope" and then said you don't care about anything. I think we can just move on

You might disagree but everything I posted were examples of slippery slope policies.

Not at all. The fact that you think it could be says a lot

I'm dead serious.

You apparently really care about saving lives. So I'm curious if you think people shouldn't drive or eat fatty foods?

The Patriot Act was a slippery slope? Nah that was falling right off the cliff all at once. And everyone cheered it on and bi-partisan efforts have kept it in place ever since.

People should drive but be safe. We have laws to help encourage that. I wear my seatbelt, don't drink and drive and pay attention while driving.

Fatty food are OK in moderation. I try to avoid them but like to have some fatty stuff every now and again. Unfortunately eating healthy is expensive and not always readily available to poor, under-educated communities.

Any more questions?

That is how I will wear mine with one minor adjustment. Over the top of the head or under the chin.

So you assume some risk in everyday life right?

There's no way to protect everyone from death all the time.

It's unfortunate but it's a fact of life. Same with Covid, it's a risk we have to live with at this point and crusading about masks isn't going to change this.

So allowing people to make their own personal decisions on what they eat and put in their body is ok in this scenario. But you feel the need to dictate to others what they should do with themselves when it comes to covid19.

Why?

Imagine thinking masks even help. Much less the ways I've seen them worn

Of course.

You really think wearing masks does absolutely nothing? That's your stance?

Because they're two different scenarios, my man. You eating a cheeseburger every day only fricks you and your family over. That won't ever possibly lead to my mom or dad being in the ICU unable to breathe or clogging emergency rooms and ICUs.

I'll go ahead and let my ER doc brother know that bayourougebengal has some important intel on masks and their lack of effectiveness. Thanks!

I keep trying to find all these threads where posters melted down about the smoking bans, but I just can't seem to find them.

Chicken must have deleted them since they were so full of vitriol.


TD's search function is absolutely abysmal. Plus, I don't think it goes back very far, which makes me think the board is likely set to purge threads after it reaches so many pages back.

Of course the problem here is that the people in the top 2 pics VOLUNTARILY CHOSE to wear masks.



Thats the point of the meme, brain. If they can VOLUNTARILY wear the face covering, then whats the big damn deal?....We all know though.

It’s quite a shame that it had to be mandated.
Not sure why people can’t grasp something a second grader could understand in a 2 min demonstration. I keep forgetting that it’s just about getting Trump out of office and taking away “rights”. Whew

Another person who says masks shouldn't be political, only to go on and make it political.
