It's great to know that somebody on your side finally believes in science.Yet there's no peer reviewed studies (that thing called real science) saying they do anything to help prevent the spread of the virus!
If I was a left winger I'd feel the need to wear a mask and say look how great I am too... there's got to be some huge guilt complex in voting democrat these days.
But letting them be exposed to COVID-19 is OK? Got it.Except that,
Noone has been promoting the slaughter of infants.
Some of the folks in the West Wing appear to be quite anxious these days."We" are seeing panic? Where?
Tell me about it. I'm right behind you...People on both sides believe countless lies. I am out of this thread.
Always - see post#8. I tend not to have hot baths since it's a well known fact that they dissolve the essential vitamins and minerals out of your body.Even in the bath?
I dont wear a mask going to grocery stores.
Reason?
1, the death rate is less then 1%
2, my freedom is more important then the risk.
3, if others are afraid of the virus, THEY can wear a mask and stay away from me and if there REAL afraid, they can homeshop. Why should i be the one to have to home shop because there afraid of me not wearing a mask? And if there wearing a mask, then they should feel secure enough behind it without demanding i wear one too. I should not have to sacrifice my freedom to cater to there fears. Aspeasally fears that are irrational at that.
Do you feel the same way about the race riots?This helps explain how it is different with all the Covid measures. Still, I can't relate to people who obey laws all their lives and then take on the mentality (and cling to it) that if they don't like laws they should break them. There is an underlying mindset that is being fed by indoctriation of rebellion. The Word of God says that rebellion is the sin of witchcraft so I'm surprised at how many professing Christians can go along with that mindset.
I Samuel 15
23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
The groups were organizing on Facebook before he tweeted that stuff. He either saw or was informed that there was a fire starting, and he chose to fan the flame. I know because I was invited (though I didn't take the invitation).I thought the protests started because Donald tweeted about liberating states, followed closely by people with ties to his administration astro-turfing for the same. Or maybe I have the timeline backwards, but those happened fairly close together, and fairly close to the sudden magical appearance of "bottom up" groups with nearly identical wording for their messages.
Sure. But I remember what it was like before some of these rules were passed, when the death rate was much higher. I think that's an improvement. You don't. Or maybe you do -- you haven't offered any kind of explanation for what safety regulations are acceptable and what aren't. All I've learned that a piece of cloth on your face is a really big curtailment of your liberty. Are you able to state a reason that this regulation is so much worse than all of the others you accept?
In that vein, I note that you didn't answer my question: do you go around naked in the summer because freedom is more important than imposed modesty? Do you approve of others going naked?
This is the main area of contention that people have in your country.Fourthly like I already mentioned everyone should have there own choice. If you dont fear the virus, you take the risk and hold no one liable. If you fear the virus then you take the precautions and resume no risk.

In order to combat a pandemic people need to work together, they need a common strategy to reduce the virus within society and get it down to manageable levels.
People can't achieve this individually in an every man for himself fashion.
This is one of those situations where a coordinated effort is required.
If you have large numbers of people ignoring the disease then they keep it alive and thriving within society and this impacts everyone.
It's not about personal fear and being a personal decision, its about getting together as a group, as a team and combating this immediate threat. But when you have large numbers not conforming to this then that ruins the efforts by the others, it perpetuates the disease, making the pandemic last longer, and it spreads it, killing thousands upon thousands of people and ultimately impacting the economic recovery as well.
Anyway, I can see why USA is having such a hard time getting on top of this.
I pray it does not come to this, but many people must be directly touched by this debilitating, and lethal disease.
Many of those people who swore this was a hoax, not serious, and/or not worth any effort on their part put out messages stating they changed their minds after they or a loved one contracted this disease.
Sadly, at the rate the US is going, pretty much everyone will have been touched somehow by this by the time this is over. Maybe then people will begin to take this seriously.
Cancer and heart disease kills more people than accidental shootings each year. Meaning, I do not advocate taking anyone's freedom of choice away due to it.I take this just as serious as the flu or cancer or any other sickness. Meaning, I do not advocate taking anyone's freedom of choice away due to it.
People die of heart disease, diabetes and obesity, should we ban sodas and chocolate cake because of it? See my point?
Even if my wife cought this and died or myself, as destrout as I would be, I STILL would not advocate taking away others freedom.
That is the true selfishness is robbing freedom and giving the next generation a authoritarian existence.
Because thats not what happens, your really that dense arn't you, places like texas nearly got overwhelmed, and all those people whining about their freedoms like children still went to the hospital and took up resources. This is a pandemic killing over 1k people a day 5 + days a week, what makes you think we should do anything but consider people that don't wear masks as selfish dregs of humanity.
The right has lost all right to claim to be pro life, it's just pro fetus and once born you could care less if they all die.
In my country we don't fear our govt. We all gladly buckled down, social distanced, did our bit to save people in our community.You hot to keep in mind how a country loses freedom, it done ALWAYS in the name of PROTECTING YOU in some way, shape or form.
Because this is a contagious disease and no one is an island. Every single person is capable of carrying this disease and spread it to others. Your plan has people not taking any precautions and spreading it to other people.
You don’t get freedoms without responsibilities and right now your responsibility is to wear a mask, socially distance, wash your hands, and stay home if possible.
There have been times where the government asked us to forgo our freedoms for the good of the country. We made people leave their lives to fight wars for this country. Rationed gas, meat, rubber etc. so our military could obtain those supplies easier. Lincoln suspended the writ of habeus corpus in Maryland so Washington DC didn’t get surrounded by Confederate territory.
Now the government is asking for you to do extremely simple things compared to those times. It is your responsibility to do it.
In my country we don't fear our govt. We all gladly buckled down, social distanced, did our bit to save people in our community.
Now we have no community spread, and everything is opened back up, no restrictions at all, except for overseas travel.
Even if my wife were shot by a random person this and died or myself, as "destrout" as I would be, I STILL would not advocate taking away others freedom to randomly shoot at things in crowded public places.
