Control...there is no control. No matter what law is passed you and i both decide whether or not to abide by it.
No one ever does anything they don't want to.

So, you're saying people who wear a mask, but do NOT want to, want to? it couldn't be fear of financial loss from fines imposed. No, not that at all. Your statement is flat out wrong...

There is always an alternative and you will make your choice.

No, there is not always an alternative. In many cases, yes, but not always.. Money and financial ruin is used all the time to control people so... Don't believe me, don't pay your taxes...

Exactly...and you will choose pay your taxes or not to pay them!
 
As a former city transit bus driver, I was constantly having every flubag and germ infested slimeball share their ills with me. One more reason I left that job after 13 years. I can only imagine what it's like now, I know that most transit systems have put up shields of some sort around the driver, but the air still recirculates through the whole bus.:eek:

Sure, if one want's to go into financial ruin and possible prison time... That's not freedom, or choice...
 
Repost but still worthy of mentioning....
It is a common belief that SMELL has a strong influence on your memory. The food you smell can remind you of a Thanksgiving meal from 24 years ago. Hot tar can remind you of a road crew you worked as a young man.....
When I wear a mask and get to breathing heavy, my breath tastes like I've been orally intimate with a woman and didn't brush my teeth afterwards. While it brings back some great memories, it can be very distracting.

The way some peoples breath smells, I'm not sure that's always a good thing....

No it's not like elections. I can choose to vote, or not. no one comes after me for either.

If someone comes after you because of your choice it is a consequence. Not voting still has consequences, just less harmful.

We're talking about control. No one comes after me to force me to vote. I make that choice. Your arguments are a little silly and I'm not really seeing how to take them serious... moving along... unless you come up with anything that comes close to reality,

The bottom line is no body can force you to do anything.You always have control but there will be consequences good or bad.You might say they are forcing you to vote or you don't get your say.
No one is controlling you except you.

He will never get it. He doesn’t realize he is being controlled just as I am. I can’t go into a store if I don’t wear a mask, so where is my choice? Walmart nor any other business made that decision. This decison was made by my communist tyrant governor.

This is about choice, and in most cases I don’t have a choice. That is criminal.

Then you don't know how control works.... Your comment was no one does anything they don't wan to do. That's not quite right. People choose the less painful thing when dealing with external influences, and pleasure when those influencers are internal.

I didn't realize we were in the same state until you made that comment and it made me look at your location. Adds nothing to the discussion but somehow makes me feel better.
 
there is absolutely no doubt that we are being forced to deal with mask wearing ~ if someone wants to argue that "we" have a choice then I would say sure, you have a choice ~ shop in the store WITH a mask on or get really good at being self sufficient.. and I say good luck with that! Not many have what it takes to truly live "off the grid". I begrudge it every effing time I HAVE to put one on, while I am good with the idea behind masking up, I hate the things and have been doing whatever it takes to minimize my need for one.. but does that mean I have made a choice? Or has it been made for me? You can be sure I am not doing a lot of the things I was doing a year ago..

If you look at it that way then in every aspect of your life you are being controlled..You can decide to work or stay home and starve.You can decide to pay your mortgage or lose your house.You can decide to go out in the winter without a coat and freeze.You can drink and drive.I have held the same position in every post.You can wear a mask or go without it's your choice but you will have to live with the consequences.

a choice made under threat of penalty is not a choice.

In my county all bus operators and passengers have to wear a mask, or they can’t ride.

i agree.If you cough or breath with a mask on it will not stop air travel but will reduce the distance it travels and those properly distancing are less likely to be infected.I can't believe the extremes some are going to, to berate something so simple and easy to do. Is there any value in wearing a mask to make family, friends and people around you more comfortable?

No sir there is not. This idea that if something makes you uncomfortable it should not be allowed is why society is in the shape its in. You have the rite to be offended by anything and everything you want. Then go home, cry about it, and wine on the internet. Other than that, what scares you, makes you triggered, or hurts your feelings amounts to a small pile of dog **** in the front yard of life.

Agreed Cuda416. Much of the country seems to have recently been embolden to say and do things they might not have in the past. It's like society has lost the ability to discuss things in a rational, civil manner. Hopefully, we as a country can find a way to recapture some of that solidarity and comradery we lost.

Never happen..... Social media keeps anything and everything in the country that is uncivil at the top of the Page..... Nope, what you are seeing is the ugly side of what the media can do now that we all have it in the palm of our hands.....
