[QUOTE="50/50Farms, post: 1775614, member: 42731"] Okay, I suppose we're still doing this. The moral imperative of protecting yourself and your family falls upon you and yourselves. The state has an infrastructure to assist in the general security of the populace, but by their own admission do not have the duty to protect you on the civil level. This infrastructure that exists is also very easily abused, and can write itself blank checks for power. If you believe the government had any right to mandate the wearing of masks, lockdowns, restrictions on how many people can gather, etc, especially when using those mandates to override the wishes of private businesses, persons conducting business on private property, and individuals assembling both recreationally and for official purposes, then you aren't somebody I want to spend any time around. If somebody thinks or feels that wearing a mask, staying home, avoiding public business, avoiding gatherings, etc makes them safer, cool. [I]You [/I]can do that. Everyone else is under no moral or social obligation to do so, or to do anything else to ensure your safety. It's the same thought process as carrying a gun, you carry one because you have no expectation of safety, no reason to assume that the entire populace will exercise forbearance, and if you've read up on Supreme Court decisions then you know that even the police don't have to assure your safety. So you carry a gun, because you will always be the first person to have to deal with the problem. It's that simple. You don't feel like there's a big enough threat from an illness? Don't wear one. You do believe that it's a big enough threat? Wear one. Same logic as if you have a closet full of guns but live in an area where you don't believe you need to carry one, you don't. If you think you do need to carry one, you do. This is America (though I believe this should apply everywhere), and this country was founded upon independence, freedom, standing on your own feet and making your own decisions about what you think is best, with the state only arbitrating when your exercising of your rights infringes on another's. And if you think me not wearing mask or not getting a vaccine infringes on your rights, then I can't help you. That is in essence my full opinion on the topic. [/QUOTE]
