Not sure about everyone else, but me personally I’ve learned I can smoke a great Boston butt during time in quarantine.

That I think living to work is a shitty way to go through life?

Nah. Just saw my Dad do that and now has enough health ailments from that lifestyle that it’s become difficult for him to enjoy retirement.

While an illness does exist, the media is playing us.
People have less common sense than I gave them credit for.

You are correct im selfish and only care about my wife kid and immediate family when it comes down to it. If everyone was like this people would be much more self efficient and wouldn't have to rely on society to support them.



Exactly what I was going to say. Is prioritizing the people close to you over others a bad thing?

I’ve learned I live across the street from a drug dealer. Every morning from 9:50-10:10 a guy in a Pinto comes right in front of my house and honks his horn that has the tune “la cucaracha”, and my across the street neighbor has some outdoor “exchanges” with the guy. That and the Saturday before last I saw like 12 guys go in and out of this guy’s house separately and only were there for like 3 minutes a piece, which would be strange even when there wasn’t a pandemic. They couldn’t be any more obvious about it.


You'd be amazed if you knew how many people deal drugs. A very respectable looking couple in Shenandoah was caught with pounds of drugs recently. You just never know what someone's side hustle is.

Just confirms my thoughts regarding the stupidity of people.

Hippies were good people until they became politicized.

I have no desire for wealth, personally. I maximize my off time without depending on handouts or legislation to support my lifestyle.

It can actually cause permanent damage to the lungs, but yeah just a cold. Some people that have recovered face the rest of their life with An oxygen tank. And I’d say the worst outcome is death.
This is at best a couple of percent of all cases. The majority of positive cases out there are people with no symptoms at all.

Johnny wants a brain

People rather “exist” than live. Seems like there are a ton of people that want to sit in their home and exist because there is a small, minuscule chance they get the virus and die rather than go out and live life. Can’t comprehend that way of living life. When I can’t get out and do the things I love, just as soon kill me

Well the problem with just existing is that it doesn’t keep businesses open nor do the bills get paid. Expecting daddy (Uncle Sam) to hook us up with check after check is not gonna cut it. Nor can we (taxpayers) really afford it.

That there are hardly any media or government types I would have wanted next to me in a fighting hole in the Nam. For the most part we are led by undisciplined cowards.

And to think that many on here want to go to war with China!
