Killing people so you can exercise your liberty and freedom to go to bars and throw parties is not merely selfish, it is assholery beyond compare.
What a strange why you look at the world Rockie. I have grandparents and if they were to get covid and die I would not be blaming people saying it was their assholery that caused this. I would tell my grandparents it's up to them and our family to protect ourselves. It is not your responsibility to protect my grandparents lives, hence I don't give a shit if you wear a mask or whatever stupid actions you want to take for yourself.

But let's compare... Did you ever wear a mask when you had other contagious viruses that can kill such as influenza? Is this comparable assholery?

Do you drive a car and burn fuel that causes climate change... Climate change that scientists believe will do exponentially more damage than covid? Is this comparable assholery? Please tell me you ride a bike to pars and parties because it would be assholery to cause climate change for something so non essential am I right?

Just like the feminist painter, I don't give a damn about you. I'm not a socialist, I'm not a communist. If you want a wear a mask have at it. If you want to hide in your basement, you can do that to. Take responsibility for yourself. This is liberty and freedom.

You just sound like an angry hypocrite who thinks he can take away other people's freedoms and decide what is okay and what is not as if your moral compass should guide everyone. Until you park your vehicle and become carbon neutral and start to follow the science like you constantly suggest, I think you should step back and look at what you need to change about yourself and your assholery.

Why do we have checkpoints telling people to save lives and wear a mask? We should set up a check point on the highway and say stop driving, save lives. Com'on man, stop the assholery! Save lives we are in this together!

Unless some asshole did something he wasn't supposed to, got infected and then passed it on to your grandparents thus killing them. Then you would blame them. Careful what you do Montado, for your grandparents sake I'd hate for that person to be you.

It's all our responsibility. You're welcome.

I don't go out when I have the flu, or when I merely think I have the flu. If I didn't have the flu and there was a pandemic of it I would certainly wear a mask if I had to go out.

You learned "false equivalencies" from Fox News didn't you? I support wholeheartedly government regulations and policies that push our society towards clean, sustainable energy. Do you?

We already do. Ever heard of DUI road blocks or seen a car pulled over on the highway?

So looks like Ford has been telling a lie saying he doesn't have enough vaccines... Now he is trying to redirect the media to airports to get the attention away from his screw up's.

Grandparents - Tree
Montado - Apple.

But you’re absolutely right, if they are concerned they won’t let him visit.

The spread of more contagious coronavirus variants in Canada amid already high levels of COVID-19 makes it a critical time to think about the masks we wear. Whether that means finding better quality masks, doubling up on masks, or wearing them in settings we wouldn't normally think to, experts say it's time we step up our game.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/masks-co ... -1.5890893

Unbelievable Air Canada is promoting travel...we should be doubling our masks up... wearing them outdoors... this shits crazy bruh! My parents were doubling up on birth control but I still happened... proof that you can never do enough to stop the rona.

Dr. Fauci says even with vaccines we should not travel and we should wear masks... new normal... no more travel and wear masks forever.

montado wrote: Tue Jan 26, 2021 1:34 pm So how political is covid? US states, mainly California & NY have completely changed course from the lockdown measures. Both Gavin Newsom & Cuomo have now pivoted and are ending lockdowns even though their numbers are double what they were 6 months ago. Although Newsom claims that ICU beds have become available, I call bullshit. The cases are nearly double from when he put the additional lockdown orders in at the beginning of Dec.
That was predicted by someone, if you watch for a full minute at 1:14:25(OK, they he was off by a while because they didn't want to prove him exactly right).....

China has a new covid test... anal swabs.

Li says anal coronavirus tests are useful for cutting down on false negative results among high-risk patients, because the virus can linger in the intestinal tract for days after it’s cleared out of the respiratory system. “If we add anal swab testing, it can raise our rate of identifying infected patients,” he said on CCTV Sunday. “But of course considering that collecting anal swabs is not as convenient as throat swabs, at the moment only key groups such as those in quarantine receive both.”

I don’t get it, what’s the significance of getting a positive test out of someone who’s already on the recovery end of the infection? Why do we need to raise the rates of finding infected patients, especially if they are not contagious?

Rockie do you feel out of control and full of fear? When people feel this way they feel they need to be treated like a child and have rules to control everything. It is not rational to keep blaming people for covid infections and their actions. Maybe you could get some help if you are feeling like your life is out of control.

Not sure I get your question. Is understanding that you get Covid from other people your idea of fear?

I understand we get covid from other people but I don't share the same beliefs as you. Such beliefs as masks should be mandatory, lock-downs should be implemented, or most importantly the belief that other people are responsible for my suffering. I would never blame other people and their actions for the spread of disease during a pandemic. We both understand how covid spreads however you have strong beliefs that people need to be controlled and I just figured maybe this is because you feel out of control? You know how children have tantrums, and blame everyone else, and emotions flair up. It is likely you have the beliefs you do because of fear, and duhkha. When people feel out of control they start to rationalize things by redirecting and trying to control others around them. To me this is completely irrational and the way children experience life. So I am just wondering if this is true, that fear is what guides you to rationalize covid.

So, you expect people to believe that if some idiot goes to a maskless protest and gets COVID, then gives it to you and you gave it to your elderly parents, que sera sera! BULL FU#KING SHIT!
Second hand smoke is proven to cause cancer, yet for years and years, long after this was proven people still smoked in restaurants and bars!
I knew this and because of it, I did not smoke in public indoor places and welcomed the government stepping in and banning this because human nature is what it is, most people are selfish inconsiderate assholes, yourself included. This move was in my best interest and made it much easier to quit that filthy habit, now because of government intervention I have a much better chance of living without getting lung cancer as do non smoking employees of those establishments that were long told, “don’t like it, go work somewhere else”
Now back to this whole COVID situation, countries around the world are starting to take the much more severe restrictions that Australia and New Zealand have all along. You are a fn idiot and I’m going back to ignoring your moronic shit sandwich posts!

I think you have duhkha as well. You are suffering because of fear. I agree, I wish for everyone to make responsible decisions however I don't look at those who attend anti mask events as irresponsible. They are just people showing they are suffering in different ways. They have different and valid fears.

So no, it's not bullshit, I really don't get bothered by the anti mask gathering any more than I would be bothered by a pro mask or pro lockdown gathering. I think it's important for people to be able to express their opinions. Government policy has been a gateway for lots of suffering because it is so illogical and has motivations outside of the scope of the pandemic in itself. When people are suffering and experiencing fear they try to redirect that at others as if other people are responsible for it. Like I said this is how a child's brain functions. They don't know how to manage their emotions and other people actions can set them off.

Simply put, you live in fear and for that reason you feel you need to control other people around you to alliviate those feelings of fear.

And you are also driven by fear, Montado. Fear that our industry will not recover. Fear that we will never return to our lifestyle from 2019. Fears that your freedom and liberty have been forever jeopardized.

Time will tell if your fears are valid, or if you are just as guilty of fearmongering as the lockdown advocates you antagonize.
