    That triggered you? You seem so passive about serious political concerns that I find that a bit strange

    So I just want to be clear, as to avoid "insulting" anyone.


    When I ask a question if no one else does this, leaving room for you to clarify, and then say that's the epidome of head in sand, how is this insulting you and saying your head IS in the sand if I provided a question for you to clarify first?

    I think you got offended a little easily there.
    But everyone has a different line to cross to feel insulted I suppose.


    Anyhow, Ill try to walk lighter around your posts (even though I do not believe you've ever extended the same courtesy)

    My intent wasn't to insult. It was to ask you to clarify and then giving my opinion that its head in sand to have a certain stance. I didn't say you had that stance as evidenced with my initial question....or so I thought.


    I am amazed at times though with how abrasive some people here can be, but then are so quickly insulted when that same abrahsiveness is returned.


    Anyhow, pissing off and moving on. ;)

    It's called calm. I'm calm. It doesn't mean I don't have emotional reactions to things, it means I'm mature enough to most of the time handle them in my head without acting on them.

    Sure, masks should help.

    So if masks help, we can be more lax with social distancing, apparently. People are wildin' out with masks, and they seemed approved by the local government.

    there's a bit of a difference between being more lax and being fucking stupid bro...you think the Texas and Florida pool parties and crowded beaches were "lax"?

    look, I know you're highly cynical and sarcastic...and I approve since I am too, mostly
    so I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that you are aware that at no point in the equation:

    dumb + dumb + dumber + dumber + dumbest = ? ......does ok or smart plug into this side of the equation. 2 wrongs don't make a right and 7 stupid ideas don't make a good idea

    I don't think they were smart. But what, we are talking maybe 100 people?

    Versus hundreds of thousands across the nation.

    These protests should have been condemned and cracked down upon instead of celebrated. Its fucking bullshit in the middle of a pandemic.

    These gun toting freedom maggots were dumb too. But they weren't very widespread. And the majority were against them anyway.

    sharing a bathtub with someone is a bit more risky than sharing a sidewalk.....body fluids, y'know.....not even supposed to touch your face

    Water is chlorinated. And again, economies of scale.

    Look, if things are allowed, then I'm going to go ahead and do it. Relying on the "experts" as to what I can and can't do. But I saw these riots and protests, and I was like "fuck it" going to Vegas.

    We went down to about 204 the next day. Meanwhile, Texas was at nearly 6,000 in one day.

    That is the difference between a governor who takes the virus seriously and one who doesn't. If Oregon had a republican governor, the cases would be sky high here because like in Texas everything would have reopened too quickly and it would have spread like wild fire.
