the "friends" in the general public was just word play. but we don't seem to connect so I won't respond anymore. Trust me I have my hands full with plenty of others around here. carry on.

No it's not word play. You just need to slow down, take the time to read and comprehend what's being posted, and stop creating straw man arguments. Most of the time, you seem to go off on tangents, and then post things that are off topic and that no one is really disagreeing with. You'll be much more effective connecting with people if you address what's being said.

nah it was word play. like my friend who owns the liquor store down my street. we talk about corona and how shitty its being handled and at the end he says "its your country". hes just being funny. same as when i say "your friends".

anyway i'm doing just fine here but if you want to critique my posting style by all means go ahead. i should be flattered. i take all criticism constructively there isn't anything anyone can say that will hurt my feelings or offend me. everyone on here has a style of posting that not 100% of the board is very thrilled about. you can't please all the people all the time and i'm not going to ever try. i expect push back and criticism and enjoy responding to such.

like i said i will leave your postings alone going forward. you present sound opinions which i am always open to reading.

When states starting selling out their citizens for the mask and sick care money. A very dot com era scam is going on.

See post 5 of this thread. Still unrefuted by anyone. And never will be.
Post 5 is meaningless BS which I and many others have refuted repeatedly. But you keep telling yourself you are brilliant

Yet you fail to reference any such thing. Where? I won't hold my breath waiting.

Just the fact you call it "meaningless BS" shows your bias, lack of objectivity & foolish emotionalism.

Just the fact you call it "meaningless BS" shows your bias, lack of objectivity, foolish emotionalism & that you can't be taken seriously.

BTW I also showed how you contradicted yourself re masks, saying they are effective & two days later they are not.

Masks and social distancing works....it is a shame that the average age of contracting the virus is going down the past few weeks.....

But there is virtually no talk of social distancing. And unfortunately, many with the masks can't seem to understand the whole concept of distancing and arguably are making matters worse by thinking they are invincible with the masks on. I can't tell you how many on my neighborhood forum think it was no big deal with them protesting and consistently being a foot or two from others. The local WalMart has people constantly not giving spacing to anyone (I find this to be the case in many stores). It would seem to me that people might want to tone down the talk about masks and start focusing on social distancing. Even with our current mandate where I'm at, as long as you can keep appropriate distance from people, masks are not required. Social distancing has always been more important and yet has been completely downplayed. That's really dumb if you ask me.

Articles on masks i've seen usually stress the need to continue with distancing, hand washing, etc. Such things have been repeated ad nauseum for months, anyway. Moreover, where i live, you can't walk a block without an in your face sign (in windows, on the pavement & billboards, etc) telling you to stay 6 feet apart, etc.

I don't usually waste any time responding to you because you're probably the worst troll on this site. With that said, this comment just emphasizes that you are the biggest bullshitter ever. All you hear now are masks, masks, masks. You literally can't get away from it. If social distancing was emphasized, people would have been all over the protests that took place throughout the country and the spikes that timely happened in the few weeks after. Also, anyone on this site can just look at the first few pages and count how many threads you've started on masks with nary a mention of distancing. People like you just perpetuate this bullshit and are really more of the problem. Distancing is far more important but no one would ever know that if they relied on you for their information.

Nonsense. At the first site i looked, the CDC, on their main page one of the first things people see is this:

"Social Distancing"

[FONT=&quot]"Limiting close face-to-face contact with others is the best way to reduce the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)."[/FONT]

https://www.cdc.gov/

But evidently the ad nauseum repetition of keeping 6 feet apart for months isn't stopping people, especially young people, who feel they are at virtually no risk from C-19 from acting irresponsibly.

Never. See the CDC quote in my previous post, for an example.

No legitimate health authority ever made mask wearing "the Gold Standard".

Once again asshole, it's people like you who are the problem. You've got at least 3 or 4 threads on the first page here talking about masks, masks, masks. You are the most redundant poster on this site. And there are morons like you all over the Internet on forums and neighborhood apps. People like you are the reason we have so many walking around inches from others thinking they're invincible with these masks on. I won't even waste my time looking up the threads you've started but I'd say it's at least 10/1 on masks vs social distancing. You are doing everyone a disservice with your redundant posting. Stop being such a god damn troll.

The fact is. People aren't social distancing. You might be. I might be. But no one else. Masks remind people to stay away from you. Maybe you live in a small town. So it might work for you in your town, and be the rule. Not everywhere is the same. Social distancing only doesn't work. A mask isn't 100 % but it helps a little. That is all they say. Plus they got some cool masks you can get to look bad ass cheersgif. Plus honestly, if we all wore masks, along with social distancing, for a month, this would slow down. otherwise, this will get worse, and do you really want this to last till next year? So lets end this sooner the later.

There is some growing evidence that air conditioning is actually spreading the virus. Which explains why the virus is spiking as it gets hotter, when some scientists expected the opposite. And people aren't wearing their masks in their own house, while they are turning their air conditioner up to escape the heat. So no, you are speculating with your theories here.

You state badly formed opinions you hear from authority figures as facts.

Circular reasoning (Latin: circulus in probando, "circle in proving"; also known as circular logic) is a logical fallacy in which the reasoner begins with what they are trying to end with.

The fact is social distancing has always been the gold standard. Unfortunately X-hole and people like you don't seem to understand this and put an inordinate amount of emphasis on masks. Masks do no remind people to stay away from each other. In fact, it's quite the opposite. And the narrative of the media has indeed been masks. Stores like WalMart and other big box stores have stopped limiting the amount of people coming in and now just insist on masks (big mistake!). I can go on my neighborhood walks and easily keep 15 yards from everyone. I don't wear a mask (nor does anyone else) and it's no problem whatsoever. I wave to the police as they drive by. They are not going to cite me because they know it's well within the guidelines and safe for me to do. One can social distance without a mask and be very safe (sorry, you're wrong about that). However, the opposite is not true. If one wears a mask and does not social distance, that will be a problem. And yet, if you read forums like this and neighborhood apps all you hear about are masks but not social distancing. As stated, all the media wants to talk about right now are masks (same goes for my local paper).

In the 16 years I've been on this site, X-hole is the only poster I've ever heard of be put on a 3 day thread limit because of his redundancy. And what's even more amazing is for a guy that claims to know so much about this virus (x-hole), he sure is stupid to put at least a 10/1 ratio of masks posts, instead of social distancing. Honestly, at least if you're going to troll, be smart about it and do a service to the community. All he's doing is perpetuating a thought process that masks make you invincible by constantly posting about it. And to your point, if people aren't social distancing, then rationally that should be the emphasis....not masks! Your logic is completely misguided.
