with us in the check-out line, sit next to us on a bus or work in a nursing home---all without a mask during this pandemic---boils down to this: "I will do whatever I want whenever and wherever I choose, no matter who it may kill!"
Everyone with a smidgen of grey matter between their ears KNOWS that all of the supposed reasons snarled by the mask-holes to justify their anti-social recklessness are, if you're feeling charitable, "silly". Since I am all out of charity for these snotty overgrown children, I'll call their reasons "hateful bullshit".
The same "intellects" who argue that they have never worn a mask and since they did not get stricken with the virus that "proves" that "covid is a hoax" are the same proud idiots who think that last winter's snow storm "proves" that global climate change is a hoax.
I am for the "No jab, no job!" approach. If these people want go go maskless, let them---and their children---do it at home. "No shirt, no shoes, no service" should include "no shot" and, when available, a covid vaccination should be required---just like the other disease inoculations now required---in order for children to attend school.
If the above seems extreme, I make no apology. I am tired of the nation's "tolerance" of these hateful fools!

(853 posts)If a mask is to protect themselves from infection, then they have a right to take a risk or not. If the initial assumption is true, then they would be right. But the initial assumption is false.
If a mask is used to protect other people, then the govenment or businesses have a right to require a mask. In the real world, the iitial assumption is true.
These idiots believe masks are to protect themselves.

If we'd had a president who wasn't a self-centered moron/villain when this all started, the risks would have been made clear and many more would have been careful.
So many lives could have been saved.

"Forget science, not wearing a mask or social distancing is like a slap in the face to the 500k fellow Americans who died."
