So if I'm concerned about a lockdown resulting in a massive increase in protests, that's an insult? Am I allowed to question the governments handling of the situation right now? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true. Unfortunately, I don't think he's a troll. I know a couple of people in real life just like him. It's disheartening to say the least that people can be that irresponsible and in that much denial. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No person or government can dictate what I do with my life. I do trust science science clearly shows that wearing masks can reduce the odds of a virus spreading from person to person it’s basic respect for one another anyone that argues otherwise is an uneducated fool Edited December 6, 2020 by canuck2288 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have yet to argue against that so I assume you have nothing there. 2. It's simple: anti-maskers have a higher risk of increasing the disease by not wearing a mask. 3. The only division is the one you're creating right now by being irresponsible about it. This is literally a life and death scenario and you're arguing against wearing a piece of cloth on a head that can save lives, not 100% of lives, but can save lives. I have touched on this many times. I don't believe they are working. They may have some effect but not enough to make a difference. Couple that with human error and there's no point. Just my opinion from my own research, but once again with the mask mandate, I'm sure we will see a drop in cases very soon. I'm creating division? Lol. I'm getting attacked by like 15 people at once. I'm calling for unity and a discussion on how this can be done in a better way. I didn't realize that was such a bad thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone has the right to protest for whatever reason they want. Shaming and attacking those currently doing so won't change anything, they will just get more pissed off. That's why this system is so great, the protests are supposed to get the governments attention and signal that something their doing isn't working. There's 100% a better way to handle this pandemic, especially after 8 months of experience. People are allowed to hold the government accountable. They work for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people like you actually came down to reality, there'd be even more unity. So yes, absolutely you're creating division and those 15 people have every right to attack you as much as you have every right to have an opinion. Let me ask you this: why are you so against wearing a mask? Are you anti-clothes as well? Do you prefer to walk around the mall naked? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With encouraged compliance the economy is allowed to stay open and keep from total failure But then you get the Donnalys out there who have difficulty with Rights/ Responsibility 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzle Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) @Tystick From what I'm gathering, you believe in your 'right' not to wear a mask. The purposes of wearing a mask serve two purposes: one, to potentially protect you from COVID or other airborne illnesses; and two, so you protect others in case you have the disease unknowingly. If you don't want to wear a mask, that's fine - just stay at home. Minimize the contact to just your family members. Failure to wear a mask isn't a religious practice. It's just simply being considerate of others. You go maskless, you risk being a potential host for the virus. If you think you have a right not to wear a mask, just stay home. Why should you or others feel the need to go and "do whatever you want" when you are putting others at risk? That is plain selfish. Now for those who think COVID isn't real. My old biology teacher died a while ago due to COVID. He was recovering from Cancer, but COVID finished him. It is real. Just because you've been lucky enough not to be impacted by it, doesn't mean it's not real. Edited December 5, 2020 by Dazzle 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I go off to an education camp somewhere so I can think properly like you? I'm against wearing a mask because I don't believe they are working at all, as I've tried to make these points for the last few hours. I'm not randomly saying this, I've presented my argument. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except your evidence proved the opposite in how they actually do work, as also pointed out. Perhaps you should go to an education camp somewhere. If it saves lives please do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
