Why Mask Wearing is my Civic Duty

No they can’t in a lot of states because women and dumbfucks like you use emotion to make decisions and now it is quasi law that everyone has to wear face diaper incubators
I guess I'll need you to explain why you think I am a dumbfuck for preferring to allow people to have freedom of choice to wear a mask or not. How do you believe I have used emotion to make decisions about mandatory mask wearing when I have had nothing to do with the creation of those laws?

It would more likely appear that you are loosing control of YOUR emotions if you have to resort to name calling as opposed to putting forward a cogent argument or adding to a discussion.

Sincerely,
Theis

thanks to one of his first threads, his safes of full of shit we want!

but very little of anything a fucking poor like me can afford.
Poor people can shoot just as well as rich people.
I've seen a few tantrums thrown by guys with multi thousand dollar rifle kits, because a guy with an average set up, has owned them on the range.
Funny as fuck.
Make do with what you got, and enjoy it.

i got one good rifle, just don't have the kind of budget for a collection.
 
My wife is an RN in a hospital. I just asked her to check her email and there is 2 active covid cases in the entire system as of today. The system meaning every hospital, every outpatient every minute clinic they own, etc. and it's a big company. That's a real number, a fact that cannot be argued unless you are the fake news, then you can make up any bullshit you want. There's no overcrowding and people can get any surgery or care that their insurance will pay for.
Stop confusing the issue with facts. All you're going to do is make the Children Cry... There's also snowflake tears that will start flowing when the truth comes out dot-dot-dot can't have that... LOL

I'm a medic in the army, I'm around this all the time from having to work at a clinic or go to the hospital. Do you know how many times I've worn a mask, once and that was when I was told to by a ranking officer. Since then not one person has said anything to me about nor having on a mask. I was treated by a nurse one night when I had a seizure and she was positive, guess what, I didn't get it. She was well within 6ft during my treatment.

Doc
Again, stop confusing the issue with facts. Remember, you're supposed to bow down and bend over to the narrative
 
Since this thread contains no funny memes or pictures, I made fried chicken.

I also think that young guys like myself (41) should shovel the snow off of our elderly neighbors’ sidewalks. I consider it a duty. If one of those people slip and fall, then it could completely destroy or even end their lives. We should make it a mandate.

When I think about the destruction caused in American families by alcohol, I simply can’t, in good conscience, imbibe. To show my support of the millions affected, I will abstain. And once I get my mandate passed, you will, too.

And healthcare is unbelievably expensive, and as we move toward sharing that burden, I don’t think anyone needs to be smoking cigarettes, chewing, drinking large amounts of soda, or consuming large amounts of sugary food. Nobody needs to pay for your COPD or diabetes, when you could have just quit. My thoughts... we make it illegal.

I have a lot of other great ideas to make the world a better place, but I can’t go into all of them here. Don’t get me started on marijuana!! 😛 I’ll never shut up. The point is, I think masks could just be the tip of the iceberg. We can mandate a lot of things better!!!
 
I wouldn't attempt to force anyone to wear a mask, but I wear one. It is my way of showing that I respect other people, that I want to reduce even the possibility of catching, or transmitting something to them. I don't need to argue over whether the masks are effective or not as I don't feel any desire to convince anyone to my way of thinking. I wear the mask because of the possibility, no matter how remote that it may reduce me catching or transmitting some contagion that I am not aware that I may have.

Much like the fire extinguisher I keep in my shop, kitchen, and garage...I hope I never have to use one and/or find out if they will work on whatever fire I may find..it is the same with masks. I wear it for the possibility it may help me, no matter how remote. For the same reasons, I wash my hands and take other precautions.

I don't even need to argue over how dangerous Covid-19 may, or may not be. I don't even want to catch a cold if I can possibly avoid it. So between the mask, washing my hands, disinfecting surfaces, blowing my nose, cleaning the soles of shoes when entering the house, and other precautions, my family and I have been fortunate enough to stay Covid-19, common cold, and flu free so far this year. I sure hope our "luck" continues.

Generally, the harder people work, and the more precautions they take, the luckier they seem to be. I hope our "luck" holds.

And I hope all the folks on this site also stay healthy.
You don't respect others by wearing a mask. You respect others by telling them to stay the fuck home if they have any concerns regarding contagious flu-like viruses..

By wearing a mask if you're not sick you're actually disrespecting your community. You're showing that you're weak minded and can be easily manipulated and bullied.

If you want to show support for your community then start paying for armed escorts for all that don't carry a gun.
 
the other day i was out walking without my mask and passed by a cute woman also not wearing a mask and we smiled at each other.
that smile made my day, just seeing one.
Do people wear masks outside where you are? That seems silly. I don't think I've seen a mask outside here yet.

Welp back to lock down. Fuck you and your mask mandates. Don’t feel safe? Stay at home or wear a mask while out. No shame in either of those two actions. But this post gave me Covid of the eyes.

They fucking cancelled Halloween here and have a curfew in place. Schools are shitting down (my kid’s has been closed for two weeks now...which is Businesses are being shutdown again as well. They are also telling employers to give paperwork to employees so they can show the police if they are stopped while driving. All of this is in effect until mid December.

People like the OP with their smug “I wear a mask because it’s my contribution so you can go ahead and thank me for my selfless service” should be fucking publicly bleachboarded with their mask on.
 
Was your fly down?

Laughing at you, not laughing with you.
nope
just saying that our facial expressions are our normal methods of non-verbal communication.
they have taken this from us, and they prefer for you to stare at your phone so you have no reason to make eye contact with anyone or to feel connected with your actual physical community and neighbors.
same reason they don't want you going to church.
that is where people discuss government overreach without moderation from entities under their control.

I agree with you.

We are going to raise a generation of sociopaths that can not read a person's body language or facial expression.

Kids today think they are actually socializing when connecting over the Internet.

Think of all the organizations that brought people together now gone or on their last legs.....

Can't have those bars open.....that is where the Sons of Liberty planned the last Revolution.

The OP was being disingenuous? You dont say...

It worked perfectly too, if so. Divide and conquer. Who will be left on each side of the line?

Does 2As survival depend on winning over moderates aka fence sitters? No?

The left plays the long game. Meanwhile lemmings are just, well...being lemmings. And the lines are drawn on masks.

Shut up you old windbag. You try to come off sounding like you’re omnipotent but instead you are condescending and trivial.

The whole last paragraph. They do nothing. I can literally send you 100 studies that show otherwise. All the pro mask reports you see can’t back them up. The reports the reports the cdc has put out contradict their own recommendations. They cite many many studies throughout their site that say masks do nothing except cause a potential for increased spread due to mishandling. Same for thr WHO. Same for the NIH. The verdict has been in for years.

Masks are for compliance and to create infighting among the public. Its a scam and even those on the right comply. If you dont think so, ask yourself why you wear one. Its because life is easier to just do what you are told and not cause ripples. Its easier to just put it on and get through the day then it would be to argue and push back. Thats why. You have conformed. Mission accomplished. Its sad. Its disgraceful, its disgusting.
So, what you are saying is really not so far removed from what I am saying. My point was that yes, all things equal, adding correct mask use would decrease transfer. BUT, the big problem with masks is that they give a false sense of security, not all masks are useful, and people are idiots.

Let me flesh this out. Doctors use masks and they definitely decrease transmission in hospital environments. Why? Because they use the correct masks, they use them correctly, and they don't let them increase risky behavior. They don't start hugging people because they have masks, picking their noses, not washing hands. And they don't wear their mom's doily as a mask. But it isn't that masks don't work, it is that tools don't work when used incorrectly. And I think there is a great possibility that the negatives outweigh the positives because of the increase in risky behavior based on a false sense of security.

yes and no.
in surgery, masks are very important and they, along with other ppe and sterile procedures help reduce the chance of infection for the patient.
as far as the overall use of masks and procedures within hospitals in general?
you are much more likely to become infected with staph and a number of nosocomial infections than if you were not in the hospital, so i would have to say the evidence is not overwhelming that their use of ppe is particularly effective.

Dude. STFU. Why are you still going on about this? No one gives a shit what you think here. Is that not obvious?
