And that's exactly what it was designed to do.
Change my mind...
More like "Two Masks Are the New Dunce Cap." :facepalm1:
Virtue signaling platinum level.
Do you think they also use two condoms? I certainly hope so because I'd hate to see such stupid reproduce.

First of all, how would you propose that “we” have held the media and politicians accountable? I agree with you, don’t get me wrong. But we didn’t make our voices heard.Quote:

So much for that.
Next would be to vote and get the people out of office who support big tech tyranny and support laws that protect them and erode free speech. Oh wait- there’s republicans that do that too? And most voters just care about the R and the D next to the name and could care less about what they support and stand for? And now Dominion can flip your vote and put whoever they want in power to keep pushing their agenda? There goes plan B.
The bottom line, as a society we have been taught to be passive, to sit there and “take it”, and realize we can’t fight city hall. We should have stood up to all this crap years and years ago, but didn’t. This mask crap is another thing we aren’t standing up to. “Just wear it, it saves lives” we are told. BS. Everyone I know who is a religious mask wearer has got COVID. EVERYONE. Yet I haven’t worn one since this whole thing started and I have not been sick once. Neither has my wife, who hasn’t worn one. We get outside, exercise, and live life, and we haven’t been sick. The scared little maskers hiding in their homes and ordering food online have all been affected. The mask is another lie. Want to take a stand? Take off the mask, go out and live your life, and if you aren’t feeling well, stay home or go to the doctor like you did back in the day! If more people sent the message by removing this nonsense contaminated contraption on their faces, then maybe we’d send a message to those in charge that we are not easily swayed and we are free.
Or, just keep masking up, double masking, social distancing and ordering online and be a scared little bitch for the rest of your life. I choose to tell them to take their masks and shove em up their ass. No one follows proper PPE protocol anyway, so it’s pointless. Pretty soon they’ll insist we all adopt the hijab. Guess people will just go out and comply with that, too.

The frustrating thing is that you and I choose to inform ourselves as to issues and candidates. The problem as I see it is that generally people are lazy. They won't read about issues, they won't read even the voter information mailed. They won't even go to a website and critically review positions of candidates. Instead, people have begun to rely on tweets, memes, and 140 characters or less. And worst of all, people are so lazy that they rely on one single, solitary letter...... "R" or "D".Quote:

At the end of the day, vote even though there is some ill-informed knucklehead out there with the potential to cancel your vote.
Apathy is the enemy of freedom. GET INVOLVED which requires sacrifice. Run for office so that your voice is heard. In today's political climate, the only way for truth to be told is for good people to run for office so that the arguments are made and truth spoken. If you are in the system, even if it is just long enough to participate in a debate, your voice is heard and perhaps, a seed of truth can be planted in someone listening who will think twice about an issue. I control my destiny. If I get involved and do my civic duty, and lose, I can at least say I did my duty.

One thing I've noticed about ALL PEOPLE who mask up -- they rarely wear it correctly. It's obvious that most people aren't taking masks seriously. I wonder how long till they deem it safe to go without? 2022? 2023? Never?

In regards to the mask thing, about 2 weeks ago I hit the wall. I haven't worn a "mask" since this circus began...it's always been a bandana. Anyway, for the last two weeks I've been going into the grocery store, Home Depot and everyplace else sans facial covering...and although I shove the bandana in my pocket just in case, not one single person has said a word to me. I don't look like the kind of guy that'll smash your face, but I think to some I appear to have a bit of "smart ass" vibe. I just move purposefully...like I own the place. So far, so good! Maybe it'll catch on? Byron Lemay...trendsetter!
About the politics of this thing...I can't remember how old I was when I first heard the term "You can't fight City Hall". Probably was too young to really understand it...but we all certainly understand it now. Yes, the complacency is a problem, but you have to remember that one man's trash is another man's treasure...and that will NEVER change. For each of us that would like to be done with this nonsense there's another that thinks we haven't gone far enough.
IMO, those that think that way are being taken advantage of...but how can you convince them of that? You can't...you can lead a horse to water, y'know? Or, more precisely...if you go thru life expecting other people to do what YOU would do, you're going to be sorely disappointed.
It's the way of the world, man. It does no good to curse the wind...so I just play by my own rules.
Byron, I bailed out of So Cal 25 years ago. I can say that DeSantis has done right by Florida, but the time will come when I am going to retire to the large parcel of property in some gun-friendly state where no one will come within 12 miles of my house without running through a gauntlet first. Lol

As much as we all love wearing the mask constantly, if ever the dreaded day comes when walking around diaper faced is no longer socially acceptable, at least we can pick up on this lovely health conscious fashion. :2thumbs:

As more states remove the diaper face mandates, what’s the responsible socially proper way to do this? Is there some sort of pull up trainers we wear for a while in case of an accident, or do we just go straight from diaper face to full on commando?
Unfortunately, Utah has another month of this mask nonsense. The mandate expires on April 10.
Of course, this is all assuming that Trump isn't re-inaugurated on March 20th, in which case he will remove all mask mandates everywhere.
Expert level troll, or super paranoid hippy freak?

I’m really starting to like this Marjorie Taylor Greene confession from Georgia. Almost a conservative counter ( with brains) to AOC.

It's been 12 months... shouldn't all the non mask wearers be dead by now?!?
Asking for a friend.
After two weeks of lifting its mask mandate and allowing businesses to open at full capacity, Texas is not seeing a surge of new COVID-19 cases...
Anyone surprised? Be honest...
Nope. The whole thing was a giant hoax.
Mark my words, in a few years they will come out with a statement: wearing masks actually helped infect people with COVID by concentrating the virus at the nose and mouth. We have already been told the size of the virus allows it to permeate most masks worn by the public. There’s no mystery here. This whole thing was designed to spread a relatively benign infection and instill fear to implement mass vaccinations and collapse the economy to increase governmental reliance.
A few years later, you’ll find out that some people are developing severe autoimmune responses from the vaccine, to the point where they can’t defend against the simplest virus, let alone another mutated COVID strain.

Biden says states should reinstate mask mandates and delay reopening businesses.
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/29/bide...ses-rise-.html
Color me shocked.
This is classic case of big government feeling their grip on the reigns of control slip because Americans are seeking their independence again. You're gonna tell the guy who hasn't been able to pay rent for a year because Covid closed his business down that he should delay working even longer? F**K OFF! :flipa:
^^^Meanwhile, you know that Beijing Biden and Fuax Dr Fauci are pissed off that Texas infection rate has DECREASED since Texas opened up fully a couple of weeks ago.

^^^I know that's fake, because his actual statement would be wear TWO masks.
As much as I despise Wal-Mart it looks like that's where I'll be shopping for awhile as they are not requiring face diapers. My local Harmons and Smith's do but not my local Wal-Mart.
There was no face diaper sign so I didn't wear one and no one said a word to me. However I was the only one not wearing a face diaper and got the evil eye a couple of times. But I thought what the hell, someone has to lead the sheep out of the darkness.
Despite there being signs at Smith’s, I have worn one there for over a month. Nobody ever said anything to me about it. Just came from there, actually. It was nice to see 4-5 other people in there au-natural.
I keep telling my wife they mostly keep up the signs just to appease the feared. Otherwise, they would enforce like they did in the beginning. I think as more and more people just stop diapering up, eventually once most people are going commando, they’ll take down the signs.
