..Late 80s early 90s, we had the same discussion on seat belts. It is a free country don't put it on..
So what if a seat belt could save you...just don't put one on...Oh, and if you ride a cycle of any kind...
don't put on a helmet.Use freedom to do what you want to do.. Let the light flash that
informs you to put it on a seatbelt, and helmets are pretty expensive you know..
...About the same time, they made it a law you must put your seat belt on. Non maskers know about stupid laws &you have the freedom not to follow stupid laws.
...I had this discussion with my students in the high school that I taught at. Times have changed about
"seat belts" but ...stupidity has not changed..

Why should you waste a few precious minutes of your time doing something that only protects others from disease in case you get germs on your hands from your shit, and doesn't do anything for you personally except inconvenience you? For that matter, why wear pants? Too bad if other people are grossed out by the pubes you're shedding with god knows what on them? It's a free country. And why should you have to use a tissue when you blow your nose? Just blow your snot onto whatever surface is convenient; who cares if it's carrying some bug? It's inconvenient to have to find a tissue just because your nose is running, and it's a free country.

(10,146 posts)facing possible fines if caught without one. We've done the same thing with seat belts and child seats for years in this country, and no one goes down to the DMV brandishing AR-15s, carrying on about "freedom!" These morons wouldn't fish or hunt without a license, ride their motorcycles without the required endorsement, drive a car without insurance, or run their businesses without permits. WTF is it with masks?
You don't see them out there protesting the many rules and regulations citizens in a complex, civilized society must obey. But when an imbecile like Donald Trump tweets out some stupid, crazy, nonsensical bullshit about face masks, these assholes hit the streets and create violent scenes in public spaces, even coughing and spitting on innocent bystanders.
It's all fucking Trump's fault his followers are risking their lives, and those of others, with all this "freedom" crappola. May they all roast in hell.
