[Mods... this thread is dedicated to discussion of whether or not the government can/should force people to wear masks. Please keep this post here.]

Anti-maskers, your arguments are duly noted and thrown out the window...

6 counties in the entire state is now a consensus?

What about people from the other 89 counties?

Ridiculous to make it a misdemeanor IMO.

Somewhere past plantation owners are nodding too. It comes down to them thinking a human life is less valuable. It's sad, really.

The degree to which something is wanted is essentially the determining factor for how much it's valued. Appeals to Hitler or slave owners are irrelevant. This is only a diversion used to avoid having to explain where the objective value of humanity is derived.

Being wanted doesnt alter the value of life. That's the point behind those analogies, who also dehumanized in an effort to validate death or terrible treatment.

You’re exactly right, but don’t fall for it. You’re dealing with a dishonest manipulator.

This ones easy. Does your race have people living in tribes? You probably aren't the most advanced people on the planet. Same goes for the Irish.

fyi I can sh!t on Irish because I am Irish.

so Biden says he'll do everything in his power, federally to make Americans wear masks. Where's the abortion, my body' my rights defenders? Why aren't you guys angry about this?

Or do you guys only care when its about sucking babies' brains out when they're halfway out of the womb.

I will address a big difference between your mask and abortion analogy. Someone not wearing a mask is a treat to the health of others. For example: my wife has Celiac Disease, she' had pneumonia three times and if she were to contract Covid-19 her life would be at great risk. She can wear masks and try to protect herself and she does. What she can't protect herself from is selfish fools who only think it's some "Right" to not wear a mask.

Now if you have some knowledge of how pregnancy can spread through the air via water droplets and impregnate the rest of the population I'd like to hear about it. If not why don't you delete this thread and wear a mask for the safety of the other American's around you?

Every abortion is undermining human value.

You are acting as if we have some human obligation to your wife (id agree), but on what grounds?

1) I've been wearing a mask since March
2) I bought my first car and received an academic scholarship. My parents made me work for what I had.
3) You are living on more than an Air Force pension. Did someone inherit a pile?

Wow.

I'm not at any elevated risk, nor is my immediate family. We're all healthy with no underlying conditions but not everyone is as fortunate and it's absolutely thoughtless to not acknowledge that reality. The world changed, you can stomp your feet, throw a tantrum and deny it, but it has. Why resist or fight playing such a small part in simply doing the right thing when it could potentially help keep others safe?

Celiac as far as I know doesn't affect Covid. Given that Celiac basically prevents the body from transferring nutrients to the body from the intestines creating a situation where the body becomes very weak. My wife went from 126# to 102# in 6 weeks last fall and nearly died. She has some body weight back on, but she still lacks most of the muscle mass she had 12 months ago. Celiac is an autoimmune disease that can cause a very weak body defense system so something like Covid especially combined with a history of pneumonia definitely puts my wife at great risk. Hope this helps

Covid has really done a good job at bringing out the irrational p##sies cowering in fear behind their useless masks. "I'm not sick, I'm healthy. I'm wearing a mask to save other peoples lives". lol. Are you all wearing gloves?? Are you sanitizing everything daily? Getting tested daily?? No? Then STFU and GTFO because you're accomplishing nothing outside of being sheeple.


How long before you dolts accuse people of not wearing masks as being "murderers". LOL

Wow - sorry to hear that she was so sick. I didn’t realize people could be affected to that extreme. It was asymptomatic in my family (just anemia).

I understand celiac - gluten free is really tough - restaurant choices are limited at best.

Has she gotten follow up blood work done to see if her GF diet is working?

GF alone isn't a cure for Celiac, it's more of a maintenance to keep it from coming back or from contracting it. They don't have a cure for Celiac.

The trick was to get her intestines working again and that basically took a diet of bone broth in pretty large quantities for weeks. Nothing like drinking fat for a few weeks to make you feel good. This is not something you want your family to contract. Basically diarrhea, vomiting, fever and no desire to eat simply because noting will stay down. I remember one day all I got her to eat was two slices of a clementine. That's all she could manage in one day. It also took a few trips to the hospital for IVs to get nutrients in while we were trying to get her intestines working again.

Oh, and you'll really enjoy this.... The only meat we eat is fish.......... So was really tough to swallow.... Literally

So you'll understand that when I see people near my wife without a mask on I consider them a threat.

I indentify as a mask wearer. Even though you may look at me and see someone not wearing a mask.

If I identify as a mask wearer then I am a mask wearer.

Or maybe I just figure that - despite my misgivings - on the off chance that it helps, I'll go along with it when I can since it's really not that big of an inconvenience.

Most people wearing the masks aren't practicing social distancing anymore, at least the ones I see in the stores aren't. It makes the mask pointless. I see that and Im like these are the people who take antibiotics and stop when the feel better instead of going through the entire treatment..

But masks..one use and done. I bet almost no one is doing that. Those home made ones? Better wash em..but that lessens their effectiveness if it had any at all before (I'm looking at you yarn crochet mask wearing dummies). People are wearing them under their noses...No one is wearing a face shield. Guess people forgot about their eyes being capable of receiving the virus.

Know what would work? A 18 day 100% mandatory nationwide lock down. But that would never be able to be enforced.
