You’re free to think that. Others might think you’re the tool for expecting other people to do what you think they should do, even if it is not mandated. |
Really? Tell that to Colin Kaepernick. January 6th was just “political discourse” but BLM was ANTIFA. Youngkin having a tip line to tattle on teachers? Banning non-existent CRT because talking about slavery, oppression and racism paints a different picture than Star Spangled Awesomeness they want you to believe? Banning books or proposing legislation to have streaming cameras in classrooms to make sure there isn’t any anti-patriotic history lessons being taught? Those things aren’t forcing people to do things or acts of intimidation? “America is FREE!!” - Let’s put cameras in classrooms to spy on teachers. “America is FREE!!” - We should ban these books. “America is FREE!!” - If you think your neighbor had an abortion we will pay you 10k if you turn her in. “America is FREE!!” - If you think your teacher taught a thought you didn’t like here is number you can call. |
Yes, well there are always people who lack basic manners around. |
No signs at the Giant I go to. |
Where? I’m seriously curious because that would be an exception. But I don’t shop at Giant so maybe I missed that. |
Potomac Yard. |
Well you do you then. If the staff has to wear them I tend to wear them regardless. Also, grocery stores, pharmacies, and the like tend to have more elderly and sick people around. Not a bad idea to help protect them in the middle of a surge like we just had. |
WHich one is that? The ones in Arlington and McLean have signs asking people to wear masks. |
There are plenty of well-mannered, courteous people in this country who simply don’t ascribe as much importance to the mask as you do. But whatever you have to tell yourself, I guess. |
They are not “well mannered” or “courteous” if they deny the proven effectiveness of masks and flaunt their selfishness as some sort of political badge of honor. |
Duke Street across from Witter too. |
That woman was exactly right. To paraphrase Lisa Murkowski, these politicians need to start realizing that they represent the people of their state, not the heads of their party. Irresponsible behavior on Youngkin's part and he should be called out in public for it. |
Or...they can just do the math re risk and do a cost/benefit analysis re masks. Like citizens of other counties, states, countries are doing everyday. Same decision a driver makes if they drive over the speed limit. |
It’s like you don’t see actual people, you just see caricatures. It’s obviously very important for you to believe this about those who don’t mask unnecessarily. Many of us wore masks when mandated, got vaccines, and even wear masks now in certain business, doctors offices, or schools that actively enforce it. However I’m not wearing one in a place that isn’t actively enforcing mask wearing, especially when there’s no mandate. Your hyper-zealous judgement of large amounts of people unknown to you is duly noted though. |
They are putting other people at risk againt their will. Just like a driver does when they drive over the speed limit. That's not "well mannered" by any definition. |
