It's called putting responsibility before rights. Never used to be a problem.
There still due process, warrents, right to a jury, even having troops on American soil like all of you want is a violation of Posse Comitatas. This is creepy how people give up rights over a virus, a terrible virus, a bad virus, deadly to some, no doubt about that, yes some things we can agree on but when does it go to far for some of you kind, nice people on here.

I see the majority of the vote is for 18 months, ok maybe a case under reasonable circumstances can be made, maybe not. You see I can't see people going that long , most Americans are very social creatures, and most humans are communal, with the economy being bad , that will permanently hurt millions , sending them down the toilet, causing turnmoil not seen since the the 1917 revolution in Russia.

You gave them up so certain people could profit in Afghanistan. You gave them up for hurricanes. You gave them up with smart phones. There has been a steady diet of giving them up for 20 years. Nothing new about this.

I was against all that, eventually though, even most people have limits! This is difference then corporations looking into a cell phone with spyware, or a Task person patting you down, your acting like someone justifying a dictatorship.

This conspiracy - minded thinking is just getting people killed.

I bet if North Korea launched nukes at us and the government ordered everyone to head to bomb shelters, a bunch of these idiots would claim it's a coverup to take away their rights and stay right at home until the bombs hit.

Sometimes public safety is more important than your daily routine being inconvenienced.

North Korea would be wiped out if they tried that, and their neighbors wouldn't care, they can't even feed their people , totally a joke they can't do that to us without being wiped out, Rocket man wants to live, he rational. Infact we should ask him to use his scientists to find a vaccine for food aid.

Calling people you don't know or ever met idiots, I'm sure against the rules here.

It's called a hypothetical.

Because someone might catch a cold.



Really shocking statistic, just checked think they're now claiming 20. Wow. Keep this up, we might be almost at the annual toll from cassowary attacks.

Fatalities are all oldies with underlying respiratory or similar illnesses. In fact there's no evidence to link any disease to this alleged variant beyond any of the normal diseases thought to be caused by coronaviruses generally.

When will the reality start to dawn on ppl I wonder. It's all in God's hands.

I thought that was started by the oil families.
It not just them it the Banking families behind the Federal Reserve too. The Fed had used this crisis to nationalize 15% of the economy. The Fed is apart of the deep state that out to get Trump, because Trump wasn't for raising intreast rate, and was for keeping unemployment super low.

Still people weren't arrested for traveling or told to not go to marriages, Churches, sporting events(boxing was huge then), movies, work, school, etc.

Because the danger was in Europe and Asia... I suspect that daily life in England during the Blitz was frequently interrupted.

This time, the danger is here... in case you missed it.

Even the factories remained open to win the war

And the ones that weren't winning the war either changed their production or were shut down.

Meanwhile, the factories that are essential here are still open... if for no other reason than to make up for the 18 tons of medical equipment Donald had shipped to China while he was busy telling the US that the Coronavirus panic was a "hoax."

(necessary in Asia after Peral Harbor, although questionable, however the Democrats support of nuclear bombing Japan terrible,

Had the US not used nuclear weapons, the alternative -- a full invasion of the Japanese Islands -- would have resulted in an estimated 400,000-1,000,000 dead Americans. In fact, such an invasion was on the drawing board just in case nuclear weapons weren't enough to make Japan surrender.

Operation Downfall - Wikipedia

Just a reminder that, then as well as now, dead Americans is exactly the kind of thing we're looking to avoid.

questionable getting involved in Europe since we gave FDR pal Stalin Eastern Europe)

Four days after Pearl Harbor, Hitler officially declared war on the US. Ignoring a declaration of war from an obviously hostile and militarized nation wouldn't just be questionable, it would've been idiotic.

Remember what I said -- Ignorance is the enemy.

You have a decent point there, all right. I have heard all my life that "Americans wouldn't stand for that! There'd be an armed revolution!"

The reference was to the suggestion that the imposition of a dictatorship in this country, like what happened in some other countries, would just not happen, even if the wrong politicians came to power.

I think we can now see that that view is very naïve.

Yep. Your right on that. Everyone just laid over, in order to worship at the alter of government. Churches all closed their doors and not a soul blinked an eye.

People just better not be shocked when they get exactly what they asked for.
