I will close with saying that you put the Constitution and the Bill of Rights at risk through your weakness and sheep-like behavior. What is this “stirring of the pot” that you mention? Cannot you be exposed to alternate points of view? The fact that I choose to live freely somehow threatens others? Wake up, snowflake...and smell the freedom. As to being a “troll”, I take that as a compliment if coming from the likes of you. Hopefully, you some day gain strength and be free.
“The fact that I choose to live freely somehow threatens others?”
People like you are endangering others by refusing to abide by simple restrictions for a short period that alleviate the stresses on our HCS, which is not designed to handle a dozen simultaneous flu seasons. So you break the containment protocol, putting you selfish interests ahead of the general welfare of the rest of Americans directly and indirectly by threatening the HCS and the economy. And ultimately causing an extension of those restrictions and probably enforcement for those that do not voluntarily comply, like you.
“you put the Constitution and the Bill of Rights at risk through your weakness and sheep-like behavior.”
Not at all. I’m not the proud spreader that is violating the fundamental rights of others out of a narcissistic solipsist world view. I know this is a temporary hardship while the country is converting to a war footing and my Constitutional rights are not in jeopardy.
“What is this “stirring of the pot” that you mention?”
Exactly what you are doing. You could stay on the tard threads and let us “sheep”, AKA the adults in the room, try to understand how this virus operates and how to prepare for it. Instead you choose to come here and project your fear onto us to comfort your tiny little soul.
“Wake up, snowflake...and smell the freedom.”
I am free to protect my family - from the likes of you. Which I am doing. What rights have been taken from me that people like you didn’t already take even before this started? Selfish, narcissistic, solipsist people. Restrictions that are in place are largely voluntary, but they aren’t different from those put in place during the Spanish Flu and other pandemics and epidemics. Your faux outrage is all about you and your missed ski trips, when you should be thinking about your loved ones and your neighbors.
“Cannot you be exposed to alternate points of view?”
Absolutely. But how is calling us all weak sheep a “point of view” that benefits anybody except you, who are so fearful you have to project your fear onto others? You can come argue the statistics, the conflicting claims, whether this virus is more dangerous than the (now escalated standard) measles, what ever, as long as you are actually discussing instead of spamming derision and ignorance. But that’s not what you are doing, you are in fact spamming derision and ignorance. Which is what makes you a troll.
“As to being a “troll”, I take that as a compliment if coming from the likes of you.”
Glad to improve your otherwise miserable, self-absorbed troll day, even if it was merely negative attention for you that did it.
“Hopefully, you some day gain strength and be free.”
I will close with saying I am free. So is my family. And my friends, and most of the people here. You are a prisoner of your insouciance. And we are also clearly stronger than you - we have the strength to care for others as well as ourselves.
In a word....
YES!
You are not an island. Everything you do has the potential to affect someone somehow.
In this case, if you infect someone, it could result in their death., or the death of someone in their family.
Should we nickname you *Cain*?
The rule of society is politeness and courtesy, both being forms of respect for the individuality of others.
Respecting the premise that one person’s rights end where the other person’s begin
that, is, freedom.
Insisting on rights of a few to engage in dangerous behavior that endangers or insults the rights of others to not be exposed to that dangerous behavior,
that, is, totalitarianism.
Wise people recognize the difference.
