Since you can't rely on people to do the right thing and take virus precautions on their own, and you can't use the police, what can you do? I am still laughing that the guy who advocates for exterminating all muslims is upset about mask wearing enforcement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Westerly 61 #103 November 25, 2020 This reminds me of the 90s when people lost their shit because the government made it illegal to drive a car without wearing a seatbelt. So many bullshit claims about how it's safer to be 'thrown from the car' in case it 'explodes' were made. Of course now we all know those claims were total garbage and everyone understands why seatbelt use is mandatory, and no one complains about it. Not wearing a mask is like the bullshit counter seatbelt argument of the 90s. In 10 years we are going to look back at masks and say 'remember all those idiots who made those bullshit arguments about how it was safer to not wear a mask'. Except the difference here is not wearing a seatbelt only kills you. Not wearing a mask harms other people. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do your homework & try to be correct in the future.

Yup, you bet your ass. When the organizers of the event worked with city and state officials to ensure compliance with COVID guidelines and then it gets canceled anyway, on a whim by an elected official just because he can, and who then brags about it, that's definitely people control, in that it was simply something he personally disliked. Funny, I don't see the VA Atty Gen canceling protest-riots. I wonder why. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's like saying fuck in front of the church ladies -- it affects their thoughts of you more than it informs them of your opinion. Fag, nigger, mau-mau, jigaboo, fairy, ghetto -- some of these are terms that originally had non-pejorative meanings but were weaponized, and some of them were designed to denigrate in the first place. They're not forbidden unless applied to another dz.com user, but if you want people to talk about your ideas instead of yourself, don't use them. Quite frankly, here, even "freeflier" would be better I know you haven't used some of those terms. They're picked kind of at random. Wendy P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,116 #115 November 25, 2020 One thing to consider is that the deliberate use of offensive language, in a way designed to get people roiled up, is a form of trolling. Trolling is not allowed. Wendy P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not even close, but who cares right? Many on the Right seem upset as their feelings are not being given priority.

wmw999 2,116 #122 November 25, 2020 It's only outrage if it's unjustified. It's justifiable anger if it's justified. It's just that everyone has different standards, and they're trying to apply them universally. I'm outraged at very little (I'm 65 and comfortable financially, what do I have to be outraged at personally?). I am upset at the amount of denial of climate change going on, signing away our children's options to maintain our own comfort. The fewer options our children have, the harder they're going to have to work for less -- that's not what I want for the next generation. Wendy P.
