I have NO problem wearing a mask. I will continue wearing it after I get vaccinated. The reason has 0 to do with fear! And has every thing to do with allergies! I have seasonal allergies ( every season has at least 1 or more air borne allergens ). Plus I hate getting colds every winter And this past year I didn't even get 1.

Thus I will not only continue wearing my mask despite the clear contempt and hate shown by antimaskers. But I will continue to add to my collection of cute mask.

So far I have
2 Little Bub - the internet cat
2 Warrior cat
1 cthulhu
3 Star Wars empire
2 with lace
plus several more cat mask
I think I need more gothic cat mask

Contempt is an accurate term here. It really started revving up in the last Administration to crazy levels now.

Virtue signaling is a clue to what kind of mentality you are dealing with.
True. There are a lot of posts in this thread bragging about not wearing masks.

Then why don't you respect them, as human beings, to make their own life choices?

They're not your chattel.
Yeah, if people want to go into crowed public places and fire guns, "

It all started with "flattening the curve" and has gone to shaming and virtue signaling. I feel very sorry for all the young adults. All the beautiful women who are forced to constantly go out in public and hide their faces for fear of a tiny fraction of a percent chance of death from the boogeyman. All the children who are going to have mental health issues in the future because of being forced to socialize with masking and distancing.. UNNEEDEDLY.
It isn't now about saving lives..... it is about virtue COMPLIANCE, that is it has gone far far beyond doing something to look good and like you care to doing something because of FEARING backlash and being shamed and unpopular because you don't do it.
I think that controlling others may well start and end with increasing levels of compliance and that virtue signalling is but a trick to get people to be more content with complying. The more people shame and castigate and force their beliefs on others the more many people who see this compliance pandering as a threat to their freedom and resist regardless of whether it is a good idea of not if you take away freedom and limit choices then you are putting fences in a wide open range and sooner or later your free running horses will all but locked up in fences and then broken and have saddles and bridles on them and "put to work" and are nothing but slaves to their "owners".

By not being compliant automotons?
No, by being knee-jerk rebels who claimed that any mask mandates are a fascistic attempt at government control of the populace rather than an effective method to combat the rampant spread of a deadly disease.

Perhaps this will enlighten you to boundaries:

You should look up the concept of "Reckless endangerment". It is fairly well fleshed out in our legal system.

I'm quite familiar with the concept. However, that's not how I roll.

There must be at least a few reasonable people residing between the "knee jerk rebels" and the "complete automatons".

They still enforce it in my State, and so me being me, I walk into every store maskless, basically forcing them to say something... No sense making radical pro-masker's lives any easier. :)

...Eventually it will wear on them.

Do you think Jesus would have done that?

I don't think that Yahshua would wear a mask.

I really don't either. I can't imagine him forcing one on anyone either.

...There's not a single verse in the Bible where Jesus forces someone to do something, that I'm aware of. He seems to let everyone choose... Hence "free will"..?

The Torah does tell the sick to distance themselves from others. However, Yahshua would probably approach them, to build their faith, that they might be healed.

Probably.

Jesus would have went along with governmental edicts like this that in no way went against Christian values. It's really nothing more than being prideful to not wear masks. Paul would have done the same and expected Christians to wear masks during a pandemic if the government mandated it. He would have gone so far as to say that those who rebelled against the pandemic decree deserved the punishment they received, and back then the punishment was no joke!

That's actually a really good point. Render unto Caesar and all.
